Chris, John and Derek are all here to chat about the bonus episodes of The Sandman, Chapter 11 "Dream of A Thousand Cats and Calliope" in our final Sandman Podcast.















The Sandman Chapter 11 "Dream of A Thousand Cats and Calliope" Details







Directed by Hisko Hulsing (segment "Dream of a Thousand Cats") Louise Hooper (segment "Calliope")







Teleplay for both episodes written by Catherine Smyth-McMullen







Staff Writers Catherine Smyth-McMullen and Vanessa Benton







Dream of a Thousand Cats Synopsis.







At night, a Siamese cat holds a gathering of other cats at the local graveyard to tell her hope for cats, her experiences and the story about her encounter with Morpheus in the Dreaming.







A long time ago, she met a tomcat with whom she gave birth to a litter of mixed-breed kittens. This displeased her owners, who took the kittens and threw them into a river, traumatising the Siamese cat. In desperation, the cat dreamed to get answers for this cruel act and revelation of what to do as she meets Morpheus, in the form of a black cat, and begging him for a solution.







Morpheus presented her with a parallel universe in which cats were the dominant species over humans until the humans fought back by dreaming, re-creating reality and turning their masters into the cats that mankind sees them as today.







Upon finishing her story, the Siamese cat urges the other cats to perform the same enlightenment so that they may reclaim their status as the rulers of the earth.







Calliope Synopsis.







Struggling author Richard Madoc visits Erasmus Fry, an elderly former writer who has imprisoned a Greek muse named Calliope in his house. Fry transfers ownership of Calliope to Madoc, in exchange for a trichino bezoar.







Back at Madoc’s home he discovers that violence is more efficient to receive the Muse’s inspiration. Despite his promises to release her after the publication of his sequel to his best-selling debut novel, he abuses her more than once, until it becomes obvious he never intends to let her go.







Calliope sends a desperate plea to the Fates who are unable to act before turning to Morpheus, her former husband, whom she has not seen since the tragic death of their son Orpheus. Upon receiving her plea and learning what has happened to her, Morpheus becomes enraged and confronts Madoc.







When he refuses to release Calliope, Morpheus punishes Madoc with an uncontrollable stream of ideas. Madoc soon frees Calliope, who asks Morpheus to lift his curse from Madoc. Morpheus does so, but Madoc finds himself unable to remember Calliope, Morpheus, or any of his ideas.







Calliope vows to make sure that what happened to her doesn't happen to her sister Muses. She and Morpheus share a tender goodbye as she expresses the hope that sometime in the future, she can visit him in his realm and they'll be able to grieve their son properly.

Episode Directed by Louise Hooper

Staff Writers Catherine Smyth-McMullen and Vanessa Benton







The Corinthian warns Rose that Morpheus plans to kill her to protect the boundaries between the Dreaming and the waking world and manages to persuade her and Jed to stay in his Hotel room as he heads down for his keynote speech at the Cereal Convention. But as the Corinthian places the collectors into his collective dream he is interrupted by Morpheus, but the Corinthian shows Morpheus that Rose's increasing power and the weakening of the boundaries of the Dreaming enables him to defend himself against his creator.







In the meantime Rose and Jed have fallen asleep which allows Morpheus to inform Rose of the great danger she poses to the waking world, prompting her to temporarily restore the Dreaming and allowing Morpheus to unmake the Corinthian. Morpheus punishes the convention attendees with clarity about their crimes, allowing Rose and Jed to leave the Hotel unharmed. Until she falls asleep again.







That night, Rose confronts Morpheus in the Dreaming and is ready to sacrifice herself to save her friends and brother, but they are joined by Unity Kincade and Lucienne. They inform Morpheus it was Unity who should have been this era’s Vortex and Unity convinces Rose to transfer the Vortex into her, allowing her to sacrifice her life for Rose’s.







Morpheus realises that Unity’s golden eyed man who impregnated her while she was with sleeping sickness was Desire, who planned to pass the Vortex to her descendant in an attempt to have Morpheus spill family blood. Morpheus confronts Desire, warning them and Despair against further scheming.







Back in the dream realm Morpheus remakes Gault as a good dream and endeavours to act as a more benevolent ruler of the Dreaming, leaving Lucienne to take care of his affairs while he creates. In the waking world, Lyta with her newborn son, moves with Rose, Jed, and Hal back to New Jersey.







In Hell, after being reproached by Lord Azazel and the Dukes of Hell, Lucifer Morningstar ponders a new plan that will really anger God and wreak revenge upon Lord Morpheus.

Staff Writers Catherine Smyth-McMullen and Vanessa Benton







Lyta's pregnancy and sex life with her dead husband are causing tremors in the Dreaming. With fault lines forming across the realm, including in Morpheus’ palace, Lucienne and Matthew deduce that it is the result of Rose's increasing power, which threatens to weaken and break down the barriers between the Dreaming and the waking world. But Morpheus is unsure of the theory. Meanwhile, Lyta continues to meet Hector in her dreams, and finds that her pregnancy is advancing at a rapid rate.







Back at Hal’s bed and breakfast Rose receives a call from the Corinthian who tells her that he has Jed safe and sound and she can collect him from the Royal Hotel in Georgia where he is to give the keynote speech at the "Cereal Convention”, with a distinct absence of cereal. Jed also notices a lack of cereal, his favourite food, as he explores the convention centre, despite instructions from Corinthian to stay in his room. Jed continues to explore the Hotel and strikes up a conversation with one of the collectors, Fun Land.







Rose travels to the hotel to meet them, accompanied by her kindly upstairs neighbour Gilbert. As Gilbert’s literary discussions send Rose off to the land of nod where she arrives into Lyta’s dream separately from Morpheus who has also arrived to discern what is happening. He realises that Rose as the Vortex has allowed Hector's spirit to inhabit the Dreaming, in lieu of him passing on to the afterlife. Despite the protests from Lyta and anger from Rose, Morpheus banishes Hector from the Dreaming and informs Lyta that her unborn child will one day belong to him because it was conceived in the Dreaming.







Rose and Gilbert arrive at the hotel and search for Jed. While searching, the Corinthian and Gilbert recognise each other, causing Gilbert to flee to the Dreaming, where he is revealed to be a personified Fiddler’s Green, one of the other rogue Dreaming residents. Gilbert relays the Corinthian and Rose's location to Morpheus.







Alone, Rose continues her search for her brother, and crashes into a distraught and terrified Jed, being helped by FunLand, as he flees from witnessing exactly who the Cornthian really is. But Fun Land isn’t willing to give up his new prize and hunts Jed and Rose until The Corinthian swiftly dispatches him and has the siblings all to himself

In Dreams palace, and despite Rose’s potential threat to the Dreaming and Lucienne's protests, Morpheus agrees to help Rose locate Jed in her dreams and tells her to continue her search in the waking world with help from his raven Matthew.







During the day, Rose and the other guests at the bed and breakfast post signs around Cape Kennedy to get information about Jed’s location. As Rose and Hal distribute the leaflets they attract the attention of none other than the Corinthian, who has learnt about Rose’s location from Unity Kincaid after posing as a journalist interested in her experience with the sleepy sickness. But recognising Matthew with Rose, he sets in motion a new plan to find Jed and draw Rose to him.







Meanwhile, Lyta is continuing to see her dead husband Hector in her dreams and is reunited with him in the Dreaming. Hector attempts to convince Lyta to stay in the Dreaming and have a baby with him. When Lyta wakes up, she is visibly pregnant.







That night, Morpheus and Rose travel through the dreams of the guests, eventually crossing into Jed's dreams, which Gault has manipulated to provide an emotional escape from his abusive foster father. Morpheus rebukes and punishes Gault for stepping outside her duties, though Gault maintains that she disobeyed because she believed it was in Jed's best interest. Gault believes that Nightmares can change and even they can dream, but Morpheus does not relent in his position and banishes Gault to the Darkness.







Shouting for Rose after waking up from his dream, Jed is unexpectedly rescued from his Uncle’s house by the Corinthian, little does he know that his foster parents lie murdered by his saviour, who has plans to ensnare his sister.

Staff Writers Catherine Smyth-McMullen and Vanessa Benton







In 2015, Rose Walker and her brother Jed are separated when their parents divorce. Six years later, following the death of both parents, Rose attempts to locate Jed and claim legal guardianship, but Jed is instead placed in the foster home system.







At the same time Rose is flown to England, accompanied by her friend and neighbour Lyta Hall, to meet Unity Kincaid, a wealthy recovered victim of sleep sickness, who is interested in her ancestry. Unity reveals that she is Rose's biological great-grandmother, and offers to fund Rose's search for Jed. Rose and Lyta travel to Florida to continue their search for Jed, where they are watched by Matthew the raven who reports his findings back to Lucienne.







Unknown to Rose, she is also of huge interest to Morpheus, The Corinthian and Desire. She is a dream Vortex, a being who naturally attracts and manipulates dreams. Desire conspires with her twin sister Despair to use Rose against Morpheus in another one of her plots against her sibling.







Meanwhile the Corinthian is hunting Rose for his own ends as together, he believes, Rose and he can put Morpheus out of business for good. But the Corinthian is also being hunted by three “Collectors” who want him to be the guest of honour for a “collectors” convention.







Aware of Rose's nature, and following a census of the Dreaming by Lucienne, Morpheus plans to use her to track three errant residents of the Dreaming, Gault, The Corinthian and Fiddlers Green who are still at large.







However, while Morpheus and Lucienne are able to track Rose, they are unable to locate her brother Jed in either the Dreaming or the waking world. Lucienne and Morpheus deduce that the rogue dream Gault has severed Jed's consciousness from the Dreaming. As they discuss what should be done Rose approaches Lucienne and Morpheus in the Dreaming for assistance in finding her brother.
