JUNK · YARD DREAM
/ˈjəNGkˌyärd drēm /
noun
a dream left alone to grow on its own becomes as dangerous as the mind that came up with it in the first place; an idea concocted from the depths of a mind unbidden, left to fester in the dark, collecting dust and character and substance and taking on parts of other stories or becoming parts of theirs before finally being laid to rest as a complete.
ergo, junkyard dream.
[ where dreams become ideas and ideas become stories and where stories are finally laid to rest; a collection and multitude of various one-shots that started off as merely fleeting thought ]

"MAKE UP A STORY. FOR OUR SAKE AND YOURS, FORGET YOUR NAME IN THE STREET; TELL US WHAT THE WORLD HAS BEEN TO YOU IN THE DARK PLACES AND IN THE LIGHT. DON'T TELL US WHAT TO BELIEVE, WHAT TO FEAR. SHOW US BELIEF'S WIDE SKIRT AND THE STITCH THAT UNRAVELS FEAR'S CAUL."
― TONI MORRISON, THE NOBLE LECTURE IN LITERATURE, 1993
