In Greek mythology the god of dreams is Morpheus. He is believed to watch people as they sleep and then shape their dreams. He has wings on his back but can turn into human form. His mother is Pasithea (the goddess of hallucination) and his father changes in different myths between Hades (the god of the underworld) and Hypnos (the god of sleep). His home was a dream world where gods who had been banned from Olympus would live. It was guarded by two monsters who had the ability to morph into a person's fears. These monsters stood outside the Gates of Morpheus. Morpheus was praised by the Greeks and was given credit for giving the dreams to great heroes and kings.
Morpheus was adopted by the Romans and kept the same name. However the Romans also referred to him as simply "dream".
