I agree with Darkmatters. The phrase "animus teribus peribus" is nonsensical, which is very typical of dream texts, so it isn't true that you dreamt about words without prior knowledge of them. Rather, you dreamt of a single world, one that is meaningless without any further context, and of which you claim to have no recollection of.
Our brains are not meant to remember everything we see. Human memory is notoriously unreliable. Nobody in this thread can claim with 100% certainty that they haven't come across the word "animus" in the last week, and that goes for me as well. You probably don't recall the moment you first heard the word "bazooka" or "dream", but that is no reason to believe you attained this information in an extraordinary or supernatural way either. We don't remember those sorts of things, because it would be wasteful.
So how likely is it that you did see this word without consciously remembering it? Well, the word "animus" is not especially rare. In the highly popular game series Assassins Creed, "animus" is a name given to a fictional virtual reality device. The psychological term put forward by Carl Jung, as mentioned above by Darkmatters, has also been discussed quite recently on Youtube. In fact, it was recently touched upon by clinical psychologist Jordan Peterson, with regards to his notorious Channel 4 interview, which is a very hot topic right now (especially in the press). Darkmatters also pointed out that Jung is discussed on this website. So overall, if you are involved in social media, news, gaming, or you engage in off-topic discussions here on Dreamviews, there is a reasonable chance that you have seen the word "animus" at some point over the last few years.
