Why was Dream from The Sandman was kept naked in the entire duration of his confinement

Why Was Dream Kept Naked for 100 Years in &#8216;The Sandman&#8217;? Fans Have Some Hilarious Reasons for the Same and Some Adorable Ones as Well

The whirlwind of excitement, anticipation, and speculation around the Netflix
adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman is finally at an end. The live-action
series is out and streaming on the platform. Avid fans of The Sandman comics and
even first-time watchers thoroughly enjoyed the fantasy with a welcome twist of
mythology. Whether it was the performances, the writing, or the world-building,
the 10-episode series received a lot of well-deserved love and appreciation.
Having said that, you can trust the internet to take particular scenes and plot
points out of context and twist them into meme-able content. The same happened
with Dream’s century-long captivity.


THE INTERNET THEORIZES ABOUT DREAM’S NAKED CAPTIVITY

Recently, the official account of Netflix posted a snapshot from the first
episode of The Sandman. [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/the-sandman] We can see
Dream, completely nude, locked up in a glass sphere, helpless and on display.
Along with the question came a very important question.

“You really mean to tell me they couldn’t find a way to give Dream pants in over
100 years?” Unsurprisingly, Twitter held nothing back to voice its two cents on
the matter.

A few replies had well-structured, valid, and logical answers that would make
even Neil Gaiman proud.

Others showed sympathy for the immortal by asking better questions. While one
fan was worried about his state during the harsh winters of England, the other
pointed out that the poor thing ate nothing for 100 years. The least they could
do was give him water, right?

A few Twitter users, though, hilariously questioned the budget of the Netflix
[http://netflixjunkie.com/category/news] show. With so much dough spent on the
adorable Irvin/Goldie, the gargoyle, perhaps none was left over from Dream’s
wardrobe. A fan even posted a cute picture of the baby gargoyle, stating that it
doesn’t have pants either. You’ve got to love the internet.

WHAT IS THE SANDMAN ABOUT?

For those in the dark, a sorcerer captures Morpheus, the titular character of
The Sandman
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-originals-neil-gaimans-the-sandman-review-for-the-latest-netflix-fantasy-series/],
and keeps him locked up for a century. Morpheus, aka Dream, probably could’ve
cut the duration of his kidnapping short if he agreed to the terms of the
ransom. But, the King of Dreams is an Endless
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-beings-in-some-ways-more-powerful-than-gods-neil-gaiman-unravels-the-lore-for-the-sandman-and-who-are-the-seven-endless/]
with principles. He downright refuses and observes total silence for the
entirety of his captivity. And yes, he doesn’t have a single item of clothing on
him.

[data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==]

After he finally manages to escape, the show follows the King of Dreams in his
quest to regain his powers and control of the dreaming realm. His journey
includes retrieving his stolen belongings that encapsulate his abilities. As the
storyline moves forward, Morpheus transforms from a robotic and a little
cold-hearted being to someone who begins to understand and empathize with
humans, as well as the misunderstood immortals in his kingdom.
