Also in: traumtreu (Deutsch) · sueñoleal (Español) · rêveloyal (Français)

Loyal to a dream's characters — keeping faith with people who do not exist.

The dreamloyal person defends the dream friend, misses the dream stranger, and feels a small betrayal when the dream is dismissed as nothing. The loyalty is real — the characters were real for the duration — and the dreamloyal know it is absurd, and keep the faith anyway.

Etym. — dream + loyal — the allegiance metaphor for the dream figure's persistence; loyal is exactly the state of keeping faith, and the faith has no object the day can find.

Rel. — dreamtenant · dreamorphan · dreamwidowed
