| - During her long sleep, Unity was raped by Desire of the Endless* and gave birth to a daughter, Miranda Walker, who was adopted out, and would eventually become the mother of Rose and Jed Walker. After Dream's escape from Burgess, the victims of sleepy sickness awoke, unaware that their lives had passed them by. Unity had been fated to be a "vortex of Dream," a unique entity that appears only rarely, with the ability to connect the dreams of other beings, a dangerous ability that can cause the destruction of The Dreaming. As such, the only time Dream is allowed to take a human life, is to kill a vortex. Both Dream's captivity and Desire's interference, however, confuse the issue, and eventually Unity's granddaughter, Rose Walker, becomes the vortex. Before Dream can kill Rose, however, an elderly Unity appears in the Dreaming, explaining that she should have been the vortex. She asks Rose for her heart, and Rose pulls a red glass heart out. Unity takes the heart and breaks it, killing herself, and ending what would have been a catastrophe for both Dream and the Dreaming.
