The Sandman: The Dream Hunters is a standalone story in the universe of The Sandman (1989), written by the comic's author Neil Gaiman. It was originally published as a novella in 1999, featuring painted illustrations by Yoshitaka Amano. In 2008 a four-issue comic book version with art by P. Craig Russell was released.The story is set in feudal Japan, where a kitsune, as part of a bet to draw a young monk from his temple, shapeshifts into a beautiful young woman. She eventually falls in love with him. When she learns that there is a plot by a Kyoto onmyōji to trap the monk in a dream, she sets out to save him and appeals to the Dream King. The monk, in turn, sets out to save her. Along the way, various other Sandman characters appear in minor roles. | |

| The Sandman: The Dream Hunters / int_39af5c06 | comment |
Zen Slap: The monk decides to take a fox to a nearby village, hoping that he'll find a doctor to see why she can't wake up. He is stopped by an old man who hits his head with a stick for deserting his temple and "meddling in the spirit's affairs"; but, when the monk insists on helping the fox, the old man grudgingly gives him a paper strip, telling him to sleep with that under the pillow. The strip will take him to the realm of dreams, where the spirit of the fox is. After this, he disappears, making the monk suspect that the mysterious old man was Binzaru Harada, a former disciple of Buddha that is forced to wander the living world as an old man doing good as a punishment for having misused his powers when he was alive. | |
