They're all basically from the Sandman comic, which run to around 80 or so issues.
Although there is a basic underlying connection to each of the story arcs, you should be able to pick up most of them without worrying too much about missing anything.
Seasons of Mists is one of my favourites of the longer story arcs, but I personally think his shorter single-issue stories were some of his most powerful. Watch out for Preludes and Nocturne on that point.
Hope that helps.
