Hey Jack!
I'm glad to see you're still going strong with these awesome words. This is a particularly great one that I never knew before. It reminds me of the concept of "Oneironaughts" who are people that explore the dream world through lucid dreaming. They're basically awake in their dreams, and can even communicate with people observing their sleep by moving their eyes beneath their lids. Interesting, huh?
Anyway, I hope all is well! Email me if you get a chance, I'd love to hear how things are going for you.
