Abstract Mkid 204

The rare occurrence of the continuation and magnification of dream content, “reality,” and “free-wheeling” dynamics (fleeting, poignant, meaningful, and meaningless), intersecting with and interspersed within awake reality and consciousness is here described, for lack of better terms or known conditions, as infra-dreaming, or infra-reality. This term is borrowed from a literary source, “infrarealism,” because it captures the seamless spilling over of dream and dream-like consciousness into wakeful consciousness with a melding of the two, without obvious or diagnosed mental disorders, but with significant (observable) temporary deficits in short and long term memory.
