oneiric reality

Apparently the boundary between dreamworld and reality can be hard to discern. Take Vai, for example, a language spoken in the slave-resettled African nation of Liberia. In the 1820s, a Liberian man was inspired by a dream to create a writing system from Vai, a language spoken in the region. By the end of the 19th century, most of the Vai people were making use of this dream-inspired language.

There has recently has been talk of a dream-inspired (sub)genre called dreamhouse. Its boundaries, again, are a bit fuzzy, but it appears to comprise the use of melodic, synth-based overtones evoking an oneiric state of being. Leger and Lake’s reference to aquatic luminescence may do just that.
