Hey /co/ let's keep reading Sandman!
Ah yeah, thank you Dan!
How is everyone doing tonight?
>>87638124
No need to thank me, I just post other people's work on 4chan.
>>87638201
Do you think they ever lost that thing for years and then randomly just find it again. I mean sand could cover that thing pretty fast.
>>87638117
Doing fine Dan. Thanks for asking.
How are you?
>>87638225
He literally says on the same page that there are tons of others just like it, this one happens to be heart-shaped.possibly in reference to Unity Kincaid later on
>>87638241
Ah I'm retarded then. Thank you.
>>87638303
The sun's a fucking dick, wow.

I'm not reading this because I basically just read it like last month. But I wanted to say good on you Dan for story timing it and it's funny how ... I feel like a psychic link with /co/. I've had Sandman on my hardrive for literally 6 years and I just now read it. Then all the sudden I see everyone talking about it a lot more than usual and now Dan is story timing the whole thing.
This always happens to me too. I can think of some random comic character and think I want to read more about them and the next day, some one is story timing them.
Weird. But keep up the good work my dude.

This has happened to me too quite a lot. It may sound weird or stupid but I truly think someone can develop some kind of link with places someone frequents. This could apply to internet sites, and even more with communities with shared interests, like /co/ in this case.

We're all exposed to the same media, educated by the same curriculum, and meet here because of common interests that cater to very specific demographics. It's very easy for a lot of people to simultaneously discover and then lose interest in something. We're not immune to our environment or the Internet hivemind.
>>87639155
You too? It's weird but we can talk about that kind of stuff here because we read about it all the time. Hell this is a Sandman thread.
I've had the same recurring kinds of dreams for years. I dream really vividly. And I'm almost always stuck in this highschool/college setting. I always get bad insomnia too so it's like I don't sleep for a while then I sleep forever and have these same school dreams.
After I read Sandman though and started thinking about the Dreaming and Dreams being more than Dreams, my dreams changed. They've always been psychic too. I've always dreamed of something like getting a package in a dream and then having something arrive in the mail or dreaming of an old friend and then running into them randomly the next day.
After Sandman. Those school dreams are gone. Like Morpheus heard my pleas and took me somewhere new. All my dreams are in new different places now, new themes, new characters. Like I'm on this constant journey now, exploring different dreamscapes instead of being stuck in the same one. And I never dream OF Sandman but I've had dreams where I WAS Sandman, multiple times too.
>>87639122
That's one of my favorite scenes in the whole book. Morpheus admitting he wanted a friend.
The Cereal Convention is probably one of my favorite parts of this volume.

But about the "hivemind" thing. What this other anon said is true. However I think that if there was more too it than that, it's like this.
The Internet is basically an electrical connection. So we're almost all connected to each other in very similar way our own minds are connected to our bodies, electrical signals. I think a little spark of electrons flows from our minds, through our fingers, through our keyboards, through the wires, into screens, the eyes and the minds of everyone else.
This makes us think similar things and operate on the same brain-wave frequency. We're all playing each other's keys a bit. We're all in each other's heads. This is what is explaining "meme magic" too.
But that's just my thoughts. I don't want to argue it because it's a fun pet theory, nothing we can prove.

>I've always dreamed of something like getting a package in a dream and then having something arrive in the mail or dreaming of an old friend and then running into them randomly the next day.
This has happened to me only once and it was weird as fuck. I tried to prevent a minor accident in my school because I dreamt that it would happen but I was too late and then the same scene from my dream came true. It was like a déjà vu but much more vivid, much more "real" if that word didn't come as unsettling while talking about dreams and paranormal things.
Other than that, my dreams are very common. I've never dreamt with something related to Sandman tho it sounds cool.
>>87639327
I could dig that theory. Yeah, I agree, even when, as you said, it's just a fun pet theory.
>>87639419
Oh look it's another page in the "Gaiman hates trannies" file.
>>87639430
Does anyone have the link to that retarded rant?
I want to get angry.
>>87639504
>>87639430
Wait does Gaiman actually hate trannies or is that just a joke or meme? He seemed to make a big deal out of one character who was a tranny. They died and he was a girl with Death.
>>87639548
100% a meme that somehow gained traction and is considered by some to be true.

Thanks for reading!
>>87639548
I remember reading a tumblr post (someone linked it in here like a year ago) about how Gaiman hated trans people because he killed Wanda (that trans who died) and because the Moon was a cunt to her. It was as stupid as it sounds.
Obviously that person was a retard who didn't understand a single thing about the moral of the story.

Hey, Dan, did you read Sandman Overture? What did you think about it?
And thanks for the dump. As always, you're doing god's work.
>>87640097
I loved Overture but secretly as much as I love J H Williams 3rd I kinda wish that since it was a limited run (which it was intended to be) that the art varied every issue to create a bridge between the way they varied the art for each arc of Sandman. That's really the only thing I've been wanting to say about Overture for a while. Overall it's a fitting end/beginning to the Sandman story and I couldn't be happier.
>>87639939
Great comic. Thanks for the storytime

Those you who've read Batman: Wydening Gyre by Kevin Smith, will recognize Funland as the guy on the rollercoaster in the opening pages.
