nightfluent
/ˈnaɪtˌfluːənt/adjectiveVerified NewAlso in: nachtsicher (Deutsch) · nochefluido (Español) · nuitcourant (Français)
Fluent in the logic of the night — able to read the dream's grammar and the insomnia's arguments without translation.
The nightfluent person does not ask why the kitchen was also the ferry; they understood it at the time, and can still parse it. The fluency is lost at the border of the day — the same person cannot explain the dream in the morning's language — but at night, the grammar is native.
Etym. — night + fluent — the language metaphor for the dream-logic competence; fluent is exactly the state of using a language without translation.
