Kiernan's The Dreaming run seem to have been either undone or retconned. Spurrier described the retcon of the original run of The Dreaming following a meeting with Neil Gaiman as “it exists as a book on the shelf in the Dreaming, where it’s a different version of events." Spurrier and Bilquis Evely’s run on The Dreaming revolved around using familiar characters from Gaiman’s Sandman while introducing their own protagonist in the form of Dora whose mysterious background is explored throughout the series. A larger story arc took place throughout the series surrounding what would happen should the Dreaming once more find itself without its ruler. Evely’s double splash pages were particularly praised. She was named best comics artist of 2018 by Entertainment Weekly for her work on the series. After the series ended with issue 20, DC launched a continuation in the form of The Dreaming: Waking Hours. The maxi-series is written by G. Willow Wilson with art by Nick Robles and slated to have 12 issues. G. Willow Wilson and Nick Robles likewise returned to familiar characters from Sandman while introducing their own key protagonists. In the case of The Dreaming: Waking Hours, those new characters include Lindy, a new mother and graduate student studying Shakespeare as well as Ruin, one of Dream’s new nightmare creations, and Heather After, the great-granddaughter of Roderick Burgess, a powerful sorceress who happens to be a trans woman.
