pillowcourt
/ˈpɪləʊˌkɔːt/nounVerified NewAlso in: Kissenhof (Deutsch) · almohadacorte (Español) · oreillertribunal (Français)
The nightly tribunal in which the day's unresolved events are retried, with the dreamer as judge, defendant, and only witness.
The pillowcourt convenes without notice and hears cases the waking mind declined: the argument you should have won, the door you should not have opened. Its verdicts are binding until breakfast, its sentencing guidelines are surreal, and its appeals process is the alarm.
Etym. — pillow + court — the judicial metaphor for the mind's involuntary night docket; the pillow is the bench.
Rel. — dreamnotary · dreamperjury · dreamtax
