Summary
It's been raining in the Dreaming all week. Matthew is tired of it, so he goes to visit Hob Gadling and work out what happened on his last 'friend date' with Matthew's Lord and Master.
He thinks other servants or companions (or whatever it is he is to his Lord) do not have to put up with this shit. Maybe if he was someone else’s raven he might get paid, or at least an HR rep.
He spends a long time on the power line, thinking up creative insults for the Lord of the Dreaming (most of which involve the word ‘fuck’ at least three times). The rain ebbs and ebbs and then ceases, the inhabitants of The New Inn begin trickling out again, swaying a little happier than they went in, carrying still damp umbrellas and coats.

Summary
There's an all-glass cage in the center of the basement, practically a bubble held up above an intricate runic circle on the floor by an iron frame and thick chains. But that's not what really got Harry's attention, oh no.
There is a man inside the glass globe, sitting naked and motionless in the center with his legs hugged to his chest, and the only thing Harry can see of him other than pale white skin is the bush of black hair almost as or more messed up than his own.
Going to the cage is like being pulled by a magnet, and Harry's hand moves almost by itself to press against the glass.
The man looks up, locking eyes with Harry, and slowly unrolls to his feet, all the while looking Harry in the eyes with irises as black as the space between the stars with a single tiny point of light in the pupil. And then... And then he reaches out, placing his own palm flush with Harry's against the glass, and presses back.
•••
For eighty-one years, Morpheus rotted in a glass cage in Roderick Burgess's basement, with no hope of escape now that Jessamy was dead.
At least not until his big sister's favorite accidentally finds him.

Summary
" In the ethereal expanse of the Dreaming, where reality and imagination wove together like the delicate threads of a celestial tapestry, Dream, also known as the Sandman, resided. In the hallowed halls of Dream's vast library, shelves stretched to infinity, each holding volumes of dreams, histories, and echoes of human desires. The scent of old parchment and whispers of forgotten stories hung in the air as the Sandman himself, Dream, immersed himself in the ebb and flow of dreams. His eyes, as blue as the deepest oceans, held the weight of the universe's dreams, nightmares, and desires. His raven-black hair was cut short, but its rebellious strands hinted at a disheveled elegance.
Amid the ever-shifting landscapes and meandering thoughts of this realm, Dream often found himself traversing the boundary between dreams and the tangible world. It was on one such excursion that he encountered Johanna Constantine, a formidable exorcist with a reputation that echoed even in his realm..."

Summary
Hob Gadling stares across the table, his fight or flight response on full alert. After living for centuries now, he knows when to engage, and when to turn around and run. And now is a time to retreat. As he starts to fidgit in his seat, brain racing to devise a way out of this predicament, the handsome man across from him continues, “That deliverable was a real example of corporate synergy. We were easily able to spin the whole recall situation and ended up easily leveraging the 18-25 demographic.”
***Hob Gadling is glad to have Dream of the Endless back in his life. He knows his stranger’s name, they are meeting regularly, and everything should be wonderful. Well, it would be if he could somehow control his pining over his oldest friend… after all, there is no chance an ancient, all powerful being like Dream could want a real relationship with a mere mortal, is there? Hob decides to try a few blind dates to see if he can move forward, but instead is affronted by the utter anguish of modern dating, while his attachment to Dream only grows as they open up to each other. Oh, and he is almost certain that he is being tailed by a raven, but that is neither here nor there….
