I was trying to think of another word for 'make up' and when I see the synonyms that go with dream I think to myself...it's perfect. The 'Search for pot of Gold' synonym reminds of a poem (I threw it away dammit!) I wrote about chasing rainbows. To 'be up in the clouds'...'crave'...'long'..'lust'. Like I said, good word!
