Meet Desire and Despair, two of Dream’s siblings who may or may not have had something to do with the tragedy that befell his former lover. This issue also introduces Rose Walker, a young woman tormented by bizarre dreams. Meanwhile, Morpheus makes plans to capture three dangerous, escaped dreams.

The Doll's House storyline really gets started in this issue (which is also titled 'The Doll's House'). Here we are introduced to two more of Dream's siblings, Desire and Despair, and we learn that they may have played a part in the events that led to the Nada tragedy. We also meet Rose Walker a young woman plagued by strange dreams. When Rose and her mother travel to England to meet a strange (possibly crazy) benefactor, who has a very large doll house in her bedroom, the dreams begin merging with reality and it does not seem to bode well.
