Wanting more of a dream — the greed for the night's country, felt at the alarm.

The dreamgreedy person hits snooze to return, closes the eyes to re-enter, and spends the morning's first minutes trying to get back into the room that was just there. The greed is for a place with no address, and the return is almost never granted, and the greed is never cured.

Etym. — dream + greedy — the appetite metaphor for the dream-return wish; greedy is exactly the state of wanting more of a thing.

Rel. — dreamhomesickness
