He stopped rioters trying to burn down Chinatown by dropping to his knees and praying loudly, therefore ShamingTheMob. To quote him, "They say that the world rests on the back of 36 living saints, 36 unselfish men and women. Because of them, the world continues to exist."

* SiblingYinYang: Whenever protagonist Dream meets one of his siblings, they will be [[{{Foil}} foils]] for him. He is self-important, duty-bound, and formal, while the others contrast wih these characteristics in various ways: Death and Destruction are warm and upbeat; Desire is snarky, malicious, and manipulative; and Delirium is flighty and hyper-emotional. Despite this, all of them get along with Dream, except for ArchEnemy Desire. Dream's remaining two siblings don't fit as neatly into this dynamic. Despair mostly has a [[TheFriendsWhoNeverHang The Siblings Who Never Hang]] non-dynamic with Dream, and Destiny is like Dream, but UpToEleven, to the point of having little personality outside of his role.

However, Gaiman also used many obscure pre-existing DC characters, such as Cain, Abel, and Destiny, and these can be used with impunity.

** Shakespeare puts on his debut performance of ''Theatre/AMidsummerNightsDream'' for Oberon, Titania, Robin Goodfellow, and Morpheus. Robin Goodfellow escapes into the world to pester others, and it's implied that Titania is responsible for the death of Shakespeare's son Hamnet. It's explicitly stated that Morpheus commissioned both ''A Midsummer Night's Dream'' and ''Theatre/TheTempest'', in exchange for making Shakespeare a skilled writer.
** Morpheus has had his hand in the ''Literature/ArabianNights''. Specifically, the city of Baghdad is originally full of magic and wonders, but Haroun al-Rashid grows afraid it wouldn't survive that way, so he makes a deal with Morpheus; Baghdad would become a mundane city, and Morpheus would preserve a dream version which became the stories in the Arabian Nights.

* NoMercyForMurderers: Poor Orpheus, poet and seer, had been stuck as a disembodied head for centuries, unable to care for himself and forced to rely on a poor, isolated Greek family to bring him food and move him about his temple so that he can have the occasional change of scenery. When his father Oneiros came to visit him, seeking answers about where his long-lost brother had gone, Orpheus agreed to provide answers, but in exchange, his father had to agree to kill him. Oneiros is nothing if not a man of his word, and thus killed Orpheus, but in doing so, he committed filicide, a grave sin among the Ancient Greeks, and thus aroused the wrath of the Furies, setting in motion the events that would lead to his death.
