Someone once made such a statistic:
Assuming that 76 years is the average life expectancy, then a person's life will probably be 6-8 years of dreaming.
In other words, almost one-tenth of our lives are spent in dreams.
Unfortunately, most dreams are forgotten when they wake up in the morning, and all they remember are fragments.
Whether it is a dream or a nightmare, colored or black and white, strange dreams are always shrouded in mystery.
From "Zhou Gong Dream Interpretation" a few years ago, to Freud's "Analysis of Dreams", to "Inception", "Dream Requiem" and other film and television works on "dreams", human exploration of "dreams" has never stopped.
(Inception)
As everyone knows, in the DC Universe, there is such a being who controls the dream - the sleeping demon.
In order to present his story, Netflix did not hesitate to spend 170 million US dollars (about 1.21 billion yuan) in anger and spent 3 years to create such a fantasy masterpiece -
The Sleeping Devil
The Sandman
Adapted from Neil Gaiman (American Gods, Good Omens), the popular DC comic of the same name has been billed as "DC's most expensive series ever."
This comic series, created in 1989, has won numerous praises and awards as soon as it was launched.
It has been hailed as one of the greatest American comics of all time, along with "The Watchmen" and "The Dark Knight Returns".
Not only is the original enough to ×, but Kashi is also enough to be a god.
British actor Tom Sturridge ("Pirate Radio", "Away from the Noise"), playing the sleeping demon Ben "Devil".
Gwendolan Christie in Game of Thrones, the "beauty Britney" in Game of Thrones, transforms into an angel and is now Lucifer Morningstar, the king of hell.
Charles Dans, the "Duke of Tywin" in Game of Thrones, plays the human wizard Burgess in the play.
Boyd Holbrook, the biggest name in the mold world, has become the villain, the nightmare of Collins, who escapes.
Before you officially begin, let's learn about the origin story.
In the original work, there is such an ancient, mysterious, and immortal family - the Endless Family.
They were born earlier than all life forms in the universe, and they will always exist as long as there is life.
The seven members are the personification of fate, death, negligence, destruction, desire, despair, and fanaticism.
The third-ranked Neander, whose real name is Dreams, also known as Murphys, debuted in the first issue of the second volume of the comic book version of Sleeping Demons.
From the moment the first life in the universe began to dream, the sleeping demon was born.
It is said that all gods are born in dreams and eventually return to them.
Miraculously, in the dreams of different living beings, the sleeping demons also have different forms.
What humans see is the form of "man", and what a cat sees is the form of a "cat".
In the special episode 11 of the series, "The Dream of a Thousand Cats", the Neuron becomes a huge black cat.
In the original comic, in the eyes of Martian Hunter, he became a burning Martian bone again.
At the beginning of the series, two concepts are mentioned, one is the sober world, that is, the real world in people's mouths.
Here, "dreams" seem to have no effect on the choices people make.
The other is the world of "dreams", that is, the territory of the Neanderer.
When people in the waking world feel tired and deprived, they close their eyes, go to sleep, and come here.
This world not only has freedom, but also can explore recklessly, completing many illusions that the sober world cannot complete.
At the same time, we must also face the fears and desires in our hearts.
Of course, all this takes place in dreams and nightmares created by the Neander.
Who would have thought that such a powerful sleeping demon would fall into the palm of a human wizard!
In order to capture the escaped nightmare Collins, the Nenosaurus has to travel to the waking world.
I didn't expect to be put in a position by the human wizard Burgess.
Since the eldest son was killed in the war, the wizard tried to save him with the Neander's magic weapon.
So he performed a ritual to summon the Necromancer.
Even if you rob someone's things, you don't even have one piece of clothing left?
The sleeping demon was so naked that he was imprisoned, plus the spell seal could not move at all, and even sacrificed his partner Crow who wanted to save him.
The Nebuter was very sad about this.
During the time he was imprisoned, a disease called "narcolepsy" began to spread widely in the waking world.
More and more people can't wake up, unbeknownst to them, they are trapped in their dreams.
It took a century of imprisonment before the Necromancer escaped.
But when he returned to his own world, he found that it had already undergone earth-shaking changes.
The dreams of the past have been shattered, and the palace has been reduced to rubble.
The residents and their men who lived here all left under various pretexts.
Only Lucy waited faithfully, waiting for his return.
In order to rebuild the dream world, the Necromancer had to set off again.
Since his mana was already quite weak at this time, he had no choice but to absorb the last remaining treasure, the dragon Gregory.
It's a bit of a recovery, but that's just the beginning.
Next, the Neptune has to find the three lost artifacts—the sandbag, the helmet, and the ruby.
To this end, he went deep into the unpredictable and dangerous dark waters, gathered sacrifices, and offered them to the goddess of fate, asking them about the whereabouts of the magic weapon.
A call to operate as fierce as a tiger, the sleeping demon learned -
Sandbags, sold in London to a mortal named Johanna Constantine.
The helmet, which was exchanged for an amulet, is currently in the hands of a demon in Hell;
Ruby, passed by a mother to her son.
From Episode 3 onwards, the Neander, who has obtained the key information, embarks on a journey to recover the magic weapon and catch the nightmare.
He found that the fragile mortals had long been unable to resist the energy of the sandbags and were tortured to death.
In order to get the helmet, the Necromancer and the King of Hell, Lucifer Morningstar, fought three hundred rounds by mind.
Who would have thought that this duel that only moves its mouth and does not move its hands can be so amazing!
The ruby, which gathered most of the mana of the Neander, fell into the hands of a mortal named John.
His delusional attempt to create a completely sincere new world with rubies backfired.
The female president and the vase man she raised tore their faces and got together on the spot with the small fresh meat that came to the interview.
The female attendant who has a crush on the chef boldly shows love, but she did not expect that people had already looked at their sons correctly.
The female guest who has just broken up takes the opportunity to bend the female uniform.
The frustrated vase man in the love scene ran to the back kitchen and the chef to complain, and did not expect the dry tea fire...
That's not the mess yet, though.
The most chaotic thing is that several people kill each other and harm themselves, and the restaurant that was originally harmonious is instantly lost in blood and killing.
Fortunately, the sleeping demon arrived, and John smashed the ruby in a hurry.
Unexpectedly, the energy was released, and the sleeping demon instantly became several times larger.
So big that John couldn't escape the palm of his hand.
There is a saying that one, does this shape have a sense of déjà vu of the Buddha's "Five Finger Mountain"?
At this point, the three magic instruments are considered to be the end.
But don't forget, there's a more headache and a more dangerous existence – Nightmare Collins.
Intending to go it alone, he actually found the mistress of a human wizard, the woman who had lived for 150 years with the amulet, and wanted to join forces to kill the sleeping demon!?
As for, in the follow-up plot, how will the Necromancer deal with this biggest threat?
On the way to rebuilding the dream world, what other situations and difficulties will he encounter?
