pillowarchive
/ˈpɪləʊˌɑːkaɪv/nounVerified NewAlso in: Kissenarchiv (Deutsch) · almohadarchivo (Español) · oreillerarchive (Français)
The pillow as archive of the night's dreams — the repository that holds everything and releases nothing on request.
The pillowarchive is where the night is stored: every dream, every waking, every negotiation, all filed in the cotton. The archive is complete and inaccessible; the librarian (the waking mind) has no catalog, and the only retrieval method is the accidental one — a smell, a position, a morning light that opens the wrong drawer.
Etym. — pillow + archive — the repository metaphor for the pillow's dream-storage; an archive is exactly a complete collection that is hard to search.
