I now took a run through the whole OneLook collection and of the 18 dictionaries the first gave 'sleep and dream.' The big Collins I have as a table dictionary has the word 'dream' on the next page and I overlooked it. Nothing there however about 'son of Hypnos'. Most of the OneLook list give just 'god of dream'. Some call Morpheus Roman. Four give the correct fact that Morpheus was the son of Hypnos. So it's Morpheus that passes by in the blessed state before being fully asleep or awake. (nice details, I'll explore it a bit more) Last edited by BranShea; 02/05/08 10:24 PM.
