dreamweather
/ˈdriːmˌwɛðə/nounVerified NewAlso in: Traumklima (Deutsch) · sueñoclima (Español) · rêveclimat (Français)
The emotional climate of a dream — its pressure, its light, its sense of something coming.
Dreamweather is what the dreamer reports when the plot is gone: "it was a heavy dream," "there was a storm in it," "the light was wrong." The forecast is retrospective and unreliable, but the weather is the most durable part of the night — the climate outlasts the events.
Etym. — dream + weather — the meteorology metaphor for the dream's affective atmosphere; weather is exactly the ambient condition that outlasts any single event.
Rel. — dreamlag
