Live in The Sandman freeYou begin as
A twenty-two-year-old in England who has started dreaming strange dreams
For seventy-two years a magician kept the lord of dreams in a glass cage. Now Dream is free, weak, and hunting for what was taken. The world's sleepers have suffered: some could not wake, and some could not sleep. Now it is 1988, and you have started dreaming strange dreams that feel as if someone is looking for something in them.

Ways your story could start
- You wake from a dream in which a tall, pale figure in black stood in a ruined palace and asked you a question you cannot remember. There is sand in your hair.
- A friend tells you they have dreamed the same thing every night for weeks: a glass sphere in a dark cellar, and something inside it watching them.
- The news is full of a medical mystery: all over the country, people who fell asleep with the sleepy sickness in 1916 have suddenly woken up.
- In a dream you walk through a vast library of ruined shelves, and a tall, thin librarian with pointed ears asks whether you have seen his master.
- In a London pub, a cheerful man called Hob tells you he is waiting for a friend he meets once every hundred years, and asks if you have seen a tall, pale man in black.
