A first attempt:

Death for Death of course
Order for Destiny
Chaos for Delirium
Oblivion for Destruction
Love for Desire
Hate for Despair

For Dream? I don't know. Marvel has Nightmare but has never personified a Dream Lord... The only one who could have taken the position was the Shaper of Worlds, but in the current Eighth Cosmos he is a "ghost"(!). Perhaps an elevated and reformed Glorian?

I used only personifications that are summoned by the Living Tribunal in situations of cosmic crisis.
For example D'Spayre, who specifically personifies despair, does not seem to have a universal value like Hate...

Dreams are not embodied by an entity in Marvel lore but rather a dimension personifying the dreams:
 
Writers and artists using nightmare have made a lot of explicit sandman comparisons over the years
 
I find Nightmare an interesting character often misused or underused. Could be interesting to have a more benign aspect of Nightmare explored (his "Dream" aspect). Another possibility could be elevating Trauma, his son, to cosmic position as Dream... :)

Well... I don't think that the Superflow as a conceptual space is the same as the Dreamscape (see Sleepwalker) as the "site" of the collective unconscious of humanity. That aside, I was looking for a personification of the concept "dream" as Morpheus is, in oneness with his realm.
