The Rewired Soul | Neil Gaiman's The Sandman: Self-Deception and Survival (Netflix) @TheRewiredSoul | Uploaded 2 years ago | Updated 2 hours ago
The Sandman on Netflix has had a great reaction thus far, and in this video, we explore themes from episode 5 when Dream battles John Dee. John (Dr. Destiny) believes the world would be better if there were no lies, but Dream believes we need these lies to maintain home. Philosophers and psychologists have researched this for years, so who is right?
