An interesting word

[tsdragon]

I came across this word in a book the other day and thought it might come in handy:

Oneirataxia

[white]n. - inability to distinguish between fantasy and reality[/white]

In the process of looking it up I also found this very interesting web site:
Luciferous Logolepsy - "Dragging obscure words into the light of day"

I don't think I had ever seen the word before I believe that I saw it in the book I seemed to be reading, so unless I imagined it, and dreamed up the web site as well, I must have come across it in the book. Right?

How I can be sure you're really there to ask me that question?

Did I make up this whole thread?

Did I make up this whole web site?

Sounds like oneirataxia to me.

I just hope they don't raise our oneirataxias again...

I imagine they will eventually, I think.

Speaking of the people who raise taxes, there is a group that suffers the malady to a huge degree.
