COMICS TIME

The Sandman #16

Out in a deserted section of the Dreaming, Dream reveals to Rose Walker that she is what is known as a "Vortex of Dream", and in order to protect the Dreaming, he must kill her. Rose hopes that it is a dream, that she will wake up, and none of this will have happened, but eventually it becomes clear to her that it is a dream from which she will never wake. Meanwhile, Gilbert and Matthew the Raven return to the Dreaming, and rush to their master's location.
