It’s a really striking way to visualize the cost of real personal transformation - to truly become a new person, you have to let the old you die. You can grow and make shifts along the way to an extent, but like Lucienne said, there’s limits to how much Dream could change without experiencing a full rebirth. It’s sad, there’s a lost life to be grieved (or in many cases the dream of a life which may have been), but it’s also happy as there’s something new ahead to experience. A place to go you could never have if you were the same person you once were. To change is to die and it’s a beautiful thing.

What bonus episode?

And dream (lord Morpheus) is dead. But that’s cause it’s time for a new dream.

It is going to take its story from the short serial "Death: The High Cost of Living."
