The librarian who kept the Dreaming standing · The Dreaming

Lucienne (The librarian who kept the Dreaming standing) is a character in The Sandman, part of The Dreaming. Lucienne keeps the library of the Dreaming — every book ever dreamed of writing, shelved — and kept the realm itself through its lord's century of absence: cataloguing the decay, logging the deserters, holding the door. Loyal past job description and honest past comfort, she is the one subject who tells Morpheus when he is wrong, which he rewards with coldness and relies on like gravity. The realm's quiet truth: Lucienne governs better; Dream needs to be needed.
