This one didn't connect to the Sandman / Morpheus or the mythos as much as the other issues so far. He was more of a secondary character.
It was an interesting story and I liked the theme around identity, but it also raised some questions about the Dreaming and a few characters that popped up.
This volume centered on Barbie (from Volume 2 The Doll's House) and explained why she has such a vivid dream.
There was a weird green bird in the dream that had the same name as me, which made me laugh, but also made me kind of confused about why she was named Luz.
