The Sandman, a mythical figure rooted in European folklore, is a mysterious entity often associated with sleep and dreams. With origins in various cultures, he is often depicted as a benevolent being who sprinkles magical sand over people to induce a deep sleep. However, in more sinister tellings of the story, the Sandman is a more wicked entity, known to cause nightmares and steal the eyes of children who will not go to bed.
