Morpheus AKA Dream of The Endless has his own language. It’s a simple enough language once you learn the basics. Here are a few translations of Morpheus to English…
_______________
“Perhaps.” – Yes. Definitely yes. Yes, but I don’t want to actually say the word “Yes” to this for various reasons, usually out of pride, sometimes something else, but usually pride.
“You dare…” – The Morpheus equivalent of “I can’t even…” or various swear words.
“I did not need rescuing.” – Thank you for rescuing me.
“I was doing perfectly well on my own.” – I was NOT doing well on my own. I was in deep shit.
“I believe I was quite capable, given enough time, of rescuing myself.” – I have no idea how I was going to get out of that…
“Petty hedge-magick.” – (Actual meaning: Novice or amateur spellcasting.) Morpheus meaning: Something I woefully under-estimate.
“…help me… …please…” – I am weak, defenseless, and completely at your mercy and if you nurse me back to health we shall never speak of this again and no one else will ever hear those words uttered from me. I am going to lose consciousness now. Bye.
“After a fashion, I can.” – It’ll happen. Might take me a few decades but it’ll happen. I can do it. I will do it. But I’ll be lazy about it. Don’t rush me.
“I mislike (insert random thing here)” – I hate this thing!
“I am perfectly self-sufficient.” – Oh, God, I am so lonely! Please, hold me.

Bonus:
Daniel:
“I walked.” – You REALLY want me to sit here and explain the mechanics of interdimensional travel to you right here and now? No. This is easier. And technically true.
“Time to go for a walk.” – I have a mission. (or) I have to set right one of Morpheus’ many f–k ups. Keep supper heated for me until I get back. Also I’m being cryptic because of wibbly wobbly Timey Wimey… stuff.
I’m like actually close to crying over how big he’s gotten
Is this his dog-walking uniform or something?
@philosopherking1887 you know Neil Gaiman wanted Tom to play Morpheus, right? He mentioned it a couple of times. But I think Tom’s aged out of it now. Maybe that’s a good thing, as my head would have exploded over the awesomeness.
Aged out of it? Nonsense. Tom and Morpheus are both ageless. Anyway, the older he gets, the more sad, tired, and drawn he looks, which is completely appropriate.
