dreammatinee
/ˈdriːmˌmætɪneɪ/nounVerified NewAlso in: Traummatinee (Deutsch) · sueñomatiné (Español) · rêvematinée (Français)
A dream that screens during a nap — the daytime showing of the night's usual programming.
The dreammatinee is shorter, stranger, and more experimental than the evening feature: a twenty-minute avant-garde piece about a corridor. Regulars know the matinee has different rules — the plot is thinner, the ushers are asleep, and you leave through the same door you entered, into a Tuesday afternoon.
Etym. — dream + matinee — the cinema metaphor does real work: a matinee is precisely a daytime performance, which is what a nap-dream is.
Rel. — naproulette · dreamlag
