In Greek mythology, the god of dreams and the son of Hypnos (the god of sleep); also used as a poetic name for sleep or dreams.
From Greek 'morphe' meaning 'form' or 'shape,' because Morpheus was believed to shape dreams and appear to humans in various forms while they slept. The name and concept have been used in literature and philosophy for over 2,000 years.
Morpheus was so famous for controlling dreams that when the movie 'The Matrix' came out, they made Morpheus the name of the character who 'wakes people up' to reality—a brilliant metaphor using an ancient mythology reference.
