somnilith
/ˈsɒmnɪlɪθ/nounVerified NewAlso in: Somnilith (Deutsch) · somnilito (Español) · somnilithe (Français)
A dream memory so solid it resists the erosion of waking — the monolith of the inner life.
The somnilith is the dream you can still walk through decades later, room by room, while the rest of the night's output has weathered to sand. It stands in the plain of memory with no explanation of its construction, and no weather touches it.
Etym. — Latin somni- (dream) + -lith (stone, as in monolith) — a real morpheme boundary in the classical register; the stone is the point.
