But that's ridiculous, isn't it? Debating which CONCEPT is inherently more powerful? That depends on your view of the world, nay, the universe.
In general I think that the Endless should be left out of debates, and thats true of most Vertigo characters to boot. The stories are written differently, the rules are very different. Yes, Dream has feats of great power. But he's also been trapped by a human being for decades (with magic). Could you see Galactus being trapped in some novice mage's basement?
It's not worth debating. Just enjoy those stories for what they are; quality literature. It doesn't much translate here.

Well dreams across the DCU were affected by his capture, actually.
But Dream, or rather Morpheus, was the embodiment of Dreams. He was it, until he died and it passed to Daniel. He is in fact a multiversal character - you could argue that he actually CONTROLS a multiverse, given that is what the dream world is. And his place is the birthplace of Gods, so thats another feather in his cap.
But Morpheus - Dream - is the character we are discussing when you say "Dream of the Endless" , and that character was captured by a dude who wanted to be immortal (he was trying to capture Death) and was held for something like 70 years.
Not something you could see happening to Galactus. But nor could I see Galactus creating universes and the like, which is somethign I could see Dream doing.
