Darker and Edgier: Sally inadvertently releases an ancient creature that could spell the end of the seven realms and the holidays they represent. Nearly every character is put into a wakeless sleep including Jack himself. And Sally's true origins are explored with her being kidnapped at a young age by Dr. Finkelstein. |

I Just Want to Be Normal: Sally’s fear of change after the wedding is magnified once she and Jack return from their honeymoon in Valentine’s Town. Even the mere mention of the word “queen” was enough to drive the plot's events when she runs to the Grove of Seven Trees. |

comment |
The Caligula: 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. This led to the people building a wall around the town to keep him out and electing Sally's parents as their new governor and governess. |

Humanoid Abomination: While he's described as looking like a decrepit old man in sleeping gear, The Sandman is always referred to as "it" or a "creature" instead of a person. He is able to levitate, is immortal, exhales sand that puts people to sleep and feeds on people's dreams. |

Freudian Excuse: The Sandman's Horror Hunger towards the dreams of others and his tyrannical behavior towards his subjects was because he himself was unable to sleep, unable to experience dreams of his own and soon being driven mad from it. It's after his brief nap via Sally's potent sleeping tonic does he become more clear headed and less monstrous. |
