wakegift
/ˈweɪkˌɡɪft/nounVerified NewAlso in: Wachgeschenk (Deutsch) · despertregalo (Español) · éveildon (Français)
The rare gift of waking with a dream intact — the morning the customs let everything through.
The wakegift is the morning the dream survives: whole, detailed, tellable, a country carried across the border without confiscation. It happens a few times a year, and the recipient knows it is a gift — the day is spent carefully, telling it, writing it, before the usual erosion takes it back.
Etym. — wake + gift — the gift metaphor for the intact dream's rarity; a gift is exactly something given, not earned, and the wakegift is never earned.
