Mythology & Lore: The Sandman
The Sandman’s origins are rooted in European folklore, but the exact beginning of this tale is harder to pinpoint - it’s not quite ancient but it’s not the newest bit of lore out there either. The first distinct appearance of someone named the Sandman comes from Germany in the 1700’s, when the expression “der Sandmann kommt,” meaning “the Sandman is coming” became a common way to describe someone who looks very sleepy. It seems to be a reference to the crusties one would develop on their eyes when they had a solid night of sleep.
Hans Christian Andersen’s 1841 folk tale Ole Lukoje (a typical Danish first name, Lukoje translates to “close eye”) is a much sweeter and understandably more popular story of the Sandman than E.T.A Hoffman’s previous rendition (and is what our Sandman balm is based off of!). Andersen’s Ole Lukoje is said to tiptoe around in socks and a silk coat that changes colors, lulling children to sleep by sprinkling magical dust in their eyes and telling sweet stories of heroes and princesses until the child falls asleep. Once the child has fallen into sleep, the Sandman has two umbrellas he holds over children to send them to specific areas of Dreamland; one with pictures to bring beautiful dreams, and one that is of nothingness for misbehaving children, leading to a dreamless - though not necessarily malicious - sleep.
