Dreaming can be called one of the most powerful dimensions in the whole world. DC universe in the comics. Not just to be the place where imagination knows no bounds, but to have an outlet for every reality. Not only does the dream have access to the “head” of all dreamers, but it can also travel between realities.
Fortunately or unfortunately, it’s not always that simple. As is said by Sonho when he travels to the hell, “There are protocols that must be followed”. But reaching the gates of hell isn’t for everyone.
Morpheus’ tools
Though Dream is the anthropomorphization of a concept, its powers are not infinite. This means that the character can be weakened or killed. In the comics we discover that Morpheus found methods to do this Concentrate and stay in control of your powers.
For this he created three tools that became indispensable for the “everyday life” of the king of dreams.

At the end of the trail, Orpheus checks if Eurydice is still after him. Then the man loses his beloved. Alone and isolated, Orpheus finally stood in the way of a worshiper Dionysus. His refusal to participate in her ritual ended in a conflict that left him with only his head.
Orpheus, immortal, was destined ever since to be just a talking head. The character crosses his father’s life a number of times thereafter and is used as a bargaining chip by him Johanna Konstantin in 1789. Then Morpheus gave him eternal rest.

But dream is not something or someone that can be killed or destroyed. It’s a concept. and how would you say v in v for vendetta, “Ideas don’t die”. With the fall of Morpheus, a new entity was created to take his place, Daniel Hall.
It’s worth noting that this has never happened before Roderick Burgess locked him up because he hadn’t been killed, he was just “unavailable”. That’s why the reverie was torn to pieces because the place couldn’t “break free” of Morpheus and create another sovereign since his master was still alive and waiting for an opportunity to escape.
