    Gleo-dream

    A lovely Old English (Anglo-Saxon) expression. The pleasure of listening to music and poetry. I must write something and call it Glee-Dream.

    GLEO-DREAM

    Dream meant “joy” or “pleasure” in Old English (so not “dream,” which was swefen). Gleo-dream literally means “glee-joy,” but it specifically referred to the feeling of pleasure that comes from listening to music or poetry. The sound of a musical instrument, incidentally, was sometimes called orgel-dream (literally “pride-pleasure”), while the art of playing an instrument was dreamcræft.

    I think you should do it.

    Gleo-Dream.

    It captured my imagination.

    Various things are implied.

    Geo as well as glee.

    Apt and commercial in the global era.

    Glee - a song for men's voices in three or more parts, usually unaccompanied, of a type popular especially c. 1750–1830.

    But I'm thinking of the description of a bit of music by Glass in a recent programme - something akin to floating icebergs but only as if they were fire.

    I'm "getting" a gold and white in a liquid form with Gleo-Dream with splashes of two greens, perhaps an abstract peppermint and a darkish leaf.

      Yes, but is glee-dreaming an addiction?

        And I wish I had whatever darkish leaf you've had, Lat. But maybe I'm much too old now...

          If it's what many of today's poshies pronounce as "super glee", one can easily get attached to it.

            Assurances that no mind altering substances are involved.

            It's 60% natural, 25% leanings towards artistic impressionism and 15% having been six when there were a lot of hippies on Radio 1.
