Powers: Dream was ageless and virtually immortal. He had god-like powers and absolute power over his realm, the Dreaming, and all the dreams within it. He could conjure dreams, and put others to sleep using his pouch of sand. Despite his great powers Dream, like the rest of the Endless, was bound to a complex set of rules and customs. He possessed a ruby that focused his powers and a helm made from the bones of a dead god that offered him protection.

History: 

(JLA #22, 23) - The Star Conqueror put most of the world to sleep, dreaming of a world in which its rule was absolute. Dream met the few members of the JLA still awake and told them he d received the plea of Michael Haney, a young boy who still believed in heroes, even in the Conqueror s world. Dream warned the JLA that the dreamers would wake to serve and nourish the Conqueror, and sent Hippolyta, Green Lantern and Superman into the Dreaming to confront the Star Conqueror. Haney s faith in the JLA allowed them to destroy the Conqueror s dream and repulse the spores. The Star Conqueror was vulnerable, and Dream shrunk the continent-sized Conquerors orbiting Earth, made them into a necklace, and locked them in a chest in which he placed dangerous beings and objects.

(JSA #59 (BTS))- Per Degaton traveled to Fate s Tower to tell Dr. Fate and Fury details about their deaths in the future. Dream warned Degaton that his parents deserved some peace, and that he would not tolerate Degaton s attempts at tormenting them. Degaton quickly left the Tower.

(JSA #63 (BTS)) - Dream told his parents Dr. Fate and Fury that their teammate Sand s mind was trapped in the Dreaming, and told them to reunite Sand s astral self with his body to restore him.

(JSA #80) - Dream offered his parents sanctuary when the Spectre banished them to Hell. As they died he took Fate and Fury's souls into the Dreaming.
