Why does Morpheus make Nightmares?

As we have a few newbies in The Sandman fandom I have seen the question of “Why does Morpheus make Nightmares? Why doesn’t he only make good dreams?” Because that is not his function…

I’m a little insulted on Morpheus’s behalf that you would expect him to only make happy / sweet dreams. He’s the ruler of dreams and nightmares. He tells you this in the very first issue. Dreams AND Nightmares. And he loves his Nightmares.

Cain, Abel, Lucien, Eve, Mad Mod Witch… These are nightmare folk. And good people in his eyes. Loyal subjects who do what they were made to do… scare the Hell out of you.

Think of “This is Halloween” from Nightmare before Christmas. “Tender Lumplings everywhere. Life’s no fun without a good scare. That’s our job but we’re not mean.”

Morpheus loves his nightmares. He loves all things Gothic and spooky. From Gothic castles, ravens, Jack-o-lantern headed grounds keepers, haunted houses like the House of Secrets and House of mystery.. He seems to even favor creating Nightmares over happy / pleasant dreams.

Nightmares are just as important as “good” dreams. They teach you what you are afraid of. They show you your fears. Sometimes they help you to confront and face them. They also teach you to appreciate what you have because often you wake up and thankfully it was just a dream, none of it really happened. You still have your loved ones or your home. Sometimes pleasant dreams can be crueler than nightmares because the pleasant dreams are about things you’ve lost and will never have again.

Nightmares can be cathartic. They teach you what you fear, how to face them, and to appreciate what you have. Sometimes they can be thrilling and inspire creativity just as much as a pleasant dream if not more so. How many great horror novels and films were inspired by Nightmares? Most of them, on some level. We need our Nightmares as much as we need our Happy dreams if not more so.

obsessed with morpheus turning up every 100 years with a new period appropriate emo outfit except he also inexplicably has eyeliner for some reason

anyway the reason why morpheus makes such a great tumblr sexyman is because he talks in this huge grandiose way about how he used to have all this power but he's fallen from grace and he's just. taking massive Ls at every turn, absolutely eating shit in epic proportions all the time. getting bested by mortals and his creations and even his own sibling. it's so pathetic

if you told me that he was bursting into tears in between every scene and we just didn't see it because it wasnt relevant to the story i would believe you
