Word: Noctivane

Definition:

noun — A recurring sensation of being observed during transitional states of sleep, particularly in unfamiliar environments. Historically described in early medical and folkloric texts as a by-product of “liminal wakefulness,” noctivane was once believed to precede prophetic dreams or episodes of sleep paralysis.

So — fake or fact?

And what gave it away?
