Sandman made his rounds on the east of the United States, just above Rhode Island, when a certain dream caught his attention. There was a taint of anger in this Child's dream, heck, he wasn't not even a child; it was a teenage boy, maybe sixteen. But Sandman had heard about this child from his fellow Guardians, this child, Conner, wasn't just a mere child; he was something they called a Clone. Sandman felt bad for the kid, being held as a weapon in some glass case for his whole life, they we're actually quite happy for him when they learned he had left the place called Cadmus. Plus, the one who had the DNA used to make Conner, had ignored him without even welcoming him out of his prison.

Sandman floated into Conner's room, luckily for Sandy; One of Conner's teammates were just exiting the mountain so Sandy could walk straight in. Conner was in his bed, covers tossed a little as images in dreamsand floated over his head. The dream was different; the normal pretty gold dust now had an angry red tint to it. It showed Conner with someone else, but the person had turned his back on him, making the small figure of Conner look down sadly. Sandy touched the sand, trying to take away the anger and bring a beautiful dream, but when it touched; more red spread over the gold, making Conner move in his sleep slightly, eyes shut tight. Sandy felt something lick his hand and heard a whine, turning to see Conner's pet dog, Wolf. Wolf rested his head on the bed, eyeing his master with concern; no one really liked seeing their friend having an unhappy dream.

The tiny yellow man pat Wolf's head and then went back to giving Conner a happy dream. He made a ball of sand in his hand and pinched it a couple times at certain places; it shaped into many different things, different things that would make the teenager happy. Finally, the figure of gold was shaped as an S, Sandy being delighted with his success. He floated above Conner and lightly put the figure into the dreamsand floating above the boys head, and the dream changed instantly. It changed so the figure had a hand resting on Conner's shoulder, with Conner smiling up at him. Conner had stopped moving in his sleep and had calmed, the red in his dreams escaping and dissolving.

Sandman did a happy twirl in the air at solving the dream problem, and then was licked again by the large white dog. Sandman left after getting Wolf asleep to, Wolf lying next to his master.

When Conner woke up the next morning, He was puzzled on how his dream had turned so suddenly so he asked his girlfriend, Megan. "What I've read from books is that a man called Sandman can change our dreams and give us them, but I don't know if that is true or not" She explained as she handed Conner a bowl of cereal. During breakfast Conner kept thinking if that was what happened with his dream, one moment it was unhappy, another it was wonderful. From that moment on, he believed the so called 'myth' of Sandman
