* TheCaligula: The Sandman was once king of Dream Town. In the human world he would lull people to sleep so that he could steal people's dreams for himself, working his subjects to death to ensure that he would get enough.

** Similar to Santa Claus' ability to know whether kids have been naughty or nice, Jack Skellington has a supernatural intuition towards people's fears. Sally surmises that TheSandman has a similar intuition, knowing when someone is asleep or awake.
