Episode9: Tales in the Sand (29min)
In episode 4 we met Nada & heard how Dream still loved her but had not forgiven her. Listening to this episode I ask: What by the gods would he have to forgive?? If anything Nada is the one who might forgive *him* but she shouldn't! No means No. As a woman I'd love to hear the woman's version of the story that is teased in the last sentence yet the male gaze's all the chapter gave

Episode20: A Midsummernight's Dream (46min)
"On midsummernight's eve in 1593, William Shakespeare gathers his theatrical troupe in a remote country setting to perform for an extraordinary audience"
Oh, this one was fun! Did not much care for Puck's voice acting but I will certainly re-listen to this episode many times. A perfect story to end this audio-drama on.

Episode19: Façade (33min)
"Retired adventurer Urania Blackwell, despairing over her immortality, encounters death herself"
This was part social criticism, part philosophical and in its own way, as Death often is, life-affirming. Melancholic but beautiful. I had to immeadiately relisten it. 5/5

Episode18: A Dream of a thousand cats (28min)
"In a midnight Graveyard, a throng of cats gather to listen, as a great siamese talks of ancient legends... and of shaping the future"
Well this was interesting. Should we worry about a cat uprising? Though if they do dream together we'd never know the difference. 5/5 stars.

Episode17: Calliope (37min)
"Novelist Richard Madoc goes to Extraordinary Lengths to overcome his writer's block"
Oof, writer's block, who doesn't know it. Also Bezoars. A trapped woman (muse) held as a slave and raped by men who profit off her. So Orpheus was Dream's son under the name of Oneiros, interesting. Stellar voice work. 4/5 stars

Episode14: Collectors (48min)
"Rose and Gilbert check into a hotel where an unusual, secret Convention is taking place"
Neil Gaiman's voice is soothing as always and his words evocative and picturesque.
So this is a convention of serial killers. Interesting.
Yay~ Morpheus to the rescue.
The first episode with The Corinthian I did not abhor. Morpheus talking to him was great.
4/5 stars

Episode13: Playing House (27min)
"Morpheus searches for 2 escaped nightmares hiding in a boy's fantastic dreams"
- That poor woman Leeta's been pregnant for YEARS in the dreamdome? Oh boi.
- "My adoration does not limit my anger. I am dream. I am coming" is a good line.
- everything with the Corinthian is not made for me, I'm afraid.
-"you... you are what?" Nice reaction
- Dream wants to... adopt?

Episode12: Moving In (25min)
"Rose travels to Florida in search of her missing 12 year-old brother Jed"
Warning for Misophonia. Nightmares living inside a child's head is a terrifying thought. This episide is difficult in that I enjoy parts (Rose and the House) and abhor others (The Corinthian).

Episode11: The Doll's House (32min)
"After seven decades of slumber, Unity Kinkaid reunites with her daughter and her granddaughter Rose, who is having the strangest dreams."
Meeting Desire and a follow-up on the woman who was raped while asleep in episode 1, her daughter and granddaughter Rose. An enjoyable episode.
