- The drug morphine derives its name from Morpheus based on its similar dream-inducing power.
THIS IS GAY" were not derived from the names of the Oneiroi, they just share a common root. "Phantos" is "visible" in Greek, "phantasi" is "vision", and "Phantasus" is something akin to "the one who brings visions". Similarly, "phobos" is simply Greek for "fear"; "Phobetor" is probably something like "the bringer of fright" - the classical version of the Bogeyman.
[edit] Brother
There's a picture to the right of this article which says that Thanatos is Morpheus' half-brother. Yet the article insisted that Thanatos was his uncle. So i changed it.
[edit] Redirects
There's some wikitext [[1]] about the Matrix character, and the character also features in the Sandman series. Actually, the more I hunt for wikilinks, the messier my tab bar gets. A clean-up is in order, or perhaps a more judicious redirect. When I get time (if it's not already been done by then) I will do it. Drjon 00:58, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
