Morpheus – By Viena

Morpheus is the god of dreams. He is known to shape and form dreams. Morpheus could take on any human form though his true and real form is a winged demon. Morpheus sleeps in a cave full of poppy seeds while he is shaping mortal dreams, he probably sleeps near poppy seeds because poppy seeds have been known to treat insomnia. Morpheus lives in the land of dreams located in the underworld with his mother, father, and brothers Phobetor (makes nightmares) and Phantasus (makes unreal dreams).
