somnigrant
/ˈsɒmnɪɡrənt/nounVerified NewAlso in: Somnigrant (Deutsch) · somnimigrante (Español) · somnigrant (Français)
A dreamer understood as a migrant between worlds, holding no passport valid on either side of the border.
The somnigrant crosses nightly into a country whose language is fluent only while asleep, whose customs confiscate everything at the return border, and whose citizenship is revoked at the alarm. Everyone is a somnigrant; most are undocumented in both directions.
Etym. — Latin somni- (dream) + migrant — the migration metaphor condenses the whole border phenomenology of sleep into one identity noun.
