- Toska - “No single word in English renders all the shades of toska. At its deepest and most painful, it is a sensation of great spiritual anguish, often without any specific cause. At less morbid levels it is a dull ache of the soul, a longing with nothing to long for, a sick pining, a vague restlessness, mental throes, yearning. In particular cases it may be the desire for somebody of something specific, nostalgia, love-sickness. At the lowest level it grades into ennui, boredom.” - Vladmir Nabokov (Russian)
- Euneirophrenia - a peaceful state of mind following a pleasant dream.
- Malneirophrenia - in a state of depression following a nightmare.
