Most of this page is theory and headcanon and not actually confirmed anywhere. Some of this is speculation.

Example: One entry claimed Morpheus essentially groomed Hob to be the ideal immortal friend by causing his life's ups and downs when there's no in-canon evidence to suggest this. In fact Morpheus' initial reaction to the very idea that he might want a friend makes it clear he didn't realize he wanted one so there's no way he would have actively been preparing Hob for the role through manipulations.

Another is just speculating on why there were two demonic babies in Season of Mists more than actual confirmation through story progression. And yet another entry speculates about what became of funland even though there's nothing in The Sandman that suggests one result or the other, they reference a different comic that isn't canon to The Sandman.

But the biggest (and most insulting to Sandman fans) entry here was Dream of a thousand cats. Someone suggested Morpheus lied. They wrote it here as fact. That a thousand souls dreaming the same thing would not / cannot change reality. This is absolutely wrong. That was the entire moral of the story- that dreams DO shape reality. This is The Sandman after all. In fact the entire plot of The Sandman: Overture hinges on the fact that the universe is saved by this very means. A thousand souls dream the universe the way it should be and thus save it. That's literally the plot of the most recent volume of Sandman. Yet here in this page someone had the audacity to claim that Morpheus lied and dreams don't shape reality when that's a major theme all through Sandman, right down to Destruction saying each Endless is a thing and its opposite. Whoever submitted that one utterly missed the point.
