Thread: In the beginning was the word.

I had a very stressful dream the other night, which I won't go into details about, but let's just say that it was very stressful and as it progressed it became all the more stressful, to a point where I realized that this was a dream and that I should wake up.

And that's what happened. I said "wake up" and the next thing I remember I was in my bedroom and was opening my eyes.

Shit, I told myself. This wasn't what I meant. I meant wake up inside the dream, turn lucid.

But I can't blame myself for that. "Wake up" means exactly that. It wasn't my fault that there is no word or phrase like "Lucid up" or something.

So I thought maybe there should; after all, in the beginning was the word and words have power.

To get to the point, I'm suggesting that the community should come up with a word or phrase that means "waking up inside a dream." We have the definition(s) but we don't have the word or phrase. At least, I don't.

So, people, please throw some suggestions and if there is anyone around who's into linguistics, or Latin, or Ancient Greek, or whatever, then he's more than welcome to elaborate on a word.

This is just a suggestion, but I believe that what happened to me might happen or might have already happened to someone else, too. So we should look into it.

Cheers.
