Talk:The Dreaming (comics)

Someone keeps removing all mention of the new The Draeming comics and the retconning of this continuity
I'm not sure why you're trying so hard to suppress all comment about the new Dreaming continuity but this needs to stop. A simple Google Search would tell you what's canon and not canon. And that The Dreaming has been rebooted. You can literally read the new comics right now.

Just Google "Sandman Universe" and News. WHY would you remove the mention of the new Dreaming comics when it's kind of a big deal?!?

Also you really need to stop trying to displace blame to Neil Gaiman, saying he approved of everything Caitlin did. He literally ignored her killing off Matthew when he wrote Endless Nights, just one year after The Dreaming ended. (Proof: Simply read the Delirium story in Endless Nights. Matthew is alive and well and there's no mention of his death in The Dreaming.) Currently all the events of her version of The Dreaming ARE being ignored. The proof is in the very first issue of the new Sandman Universe and The Dreaming 2018 issue 1. Characters she killed off are alive and well and characters she changed the look of via in-story events are back to their original form. And none of her original characters are being used or acknowledged. Seriously, this isn't hard to look up.

I have sourced The Wall Street Journal, Entertainment Weekly, Polygon, and Vertigo Comics own website. Let it be known if someone removes or contradicts what I have posted, they are trying to suppress information about the new comics and the new / old continuity. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.108.208.68 (talk) 03:31, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

Rewrite needed
This article needs to be re-written. I read it several times and I don't know what it is supposed to be about. Could someone establish a context and, maybe, somewhere in the article actually describe what this place is, mentioning also that it is fictional. Tuf-Kat

 * Yes, many thanks. Tuf-Kat


 * I dropped the statement, "in that its high literary and artistic quality set it apart from the bulk of the comic book genre," because it's POV.--Psients 08:44, 18 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

Splitting proposal
I propose that sections The Dreaming (comics), The Dreaming (comics), and The Dreaming (comics) be split into a separate page called The Dreaming (location) (or similar) and the current page be renamed to The Dreaming (comic book) (which is currently a redirect to this page). The current page is combining information about the fictional location (which has appeared in multiple comics) and several comics titled The Dreaming.

 * Oppose I think. I'm having trouble envisioning how the pieces split into a "location" article would satisfy WP:GNG notability concerns.  These sections only have two references, one of which is not independent. -2pou (talk) 22:27, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

Incorrect Assertion
"The Dreaming first appeared in the Sandman vol. 2 #1 (January 1989), and was created by Neil Gaiman and Sam Kieth." is an arguable statement and needs stronger evidence because there is a reference to The Dreaming in Swamp Thing (1982) issue #33. In issue 33, Abbey Cable visits "The Dreaming" and interacts with Cain and Abel. This issue was dated February 1985. Clearly, the Dreaming was not first conceived by Gaiman and Keith. While Gaiman did populate The Dreaming and create a location for others to expand, he did not originate the place.

Suggested change: "The Dreaming is a location in the DC Universe. It is the home of the Sandman since Sandman vol. 2 #1 (January 1989)." comment added by Capedhorse (talk • contribs) 00:48, 25 December 2020 (UTC)
