In Greek mythology, Phantasos ("Apparition") was the son of Hypnos and one of the Oneiroi. He appeared in dreams in the form of inanimate objects.1
Family
His father is Hypnos, the god of sleep and brother of Thanatos, the god of death. His mother is Pasithea, the goddess of hallucination. His grandparents include Nyx, goddess of the night, and Erebus, the god of darkness.
Abode
He lives in the land of dreams (Demos Oneiroi) with his siblings, but mainly Morpheus and Phobetor, to assist with the dreams of humans. Morpheus leaves Phantasos in charge of the dream world when he goes to the mortal world. Morpheus takes the likely dreams and Phobetor takes the nightmares.
