* AlwaysSaveTheGirl: Morpheus reveals that [[spoiler:he did this with the first Vortex, unwilling to take an innocent life to save thousands]]. This almost led to TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt and [[spoiler:having to kill the Vortex when its powers drove it half-mad]].



* CosmicRetcon: [[spoiler:What Dream eventually has to engineer to set things right, using the method from "A Dream of a Thousand Cats" to create a reality where he killed the star the Dream Vortex had sent mad, rather than allowing it to live and infect the universe.

* ForegoneConclusion: Because it's a prequel, we know that there will still be a universe at the end and that certain of the characters will survive. The question is what it's going to cost them.
