In Greek mythology, Phantasos (English translation: "apparition") was the son of Hypnos and one of the Oneiroi. He appeared in dreams in the form of inanimate objects.[1]

He lives in Morpheus' dream world with his two brothers, Morpheus and Phobetor, to assist with the dreams of humans. Morpheus takes the likely dreams and Phobetor takes the nightmares.
