Initially The Dreaming, the first ongoing spin off of The Sandman, served as anthology series telling mostly unconnected tales of various Sandman related characters. When it was decided that The Dreaming would be retooled into a more focused series with an ongoing storyline, it was decided that another outlet would be created to continue to tell anthology style stories.
