dreamgeography
/ˈdriːmdʒiˌɒɡrəfi/nounVerified NewAlso in: Traumgeografie (Deutsch) · sueñogeografía (Español) · rêvegéographie (Français)
The internal geography of a dream — the places that connect wrongly, the distances that lie, the north that is a feeling.
Dreamgeography is the map the dreamer trusts completely while asleep: the school is behind the supermarket, the childhood house has a wing that was never built, and the journey takes exactly as long as the plot needs. Waking inspection finds the map impossible; the dream found it obvious.
Etym. — dream + geography — the spatial-science metaphor for the dream's impossible terrain; geography is exactly the discipline of how places connect.
Rel. — oneirodrift · dreamseam · dreamhomesickness
