Name change

In keeping with these times of nothing can be what it was, I propose a change to the name applied to bad dreams

Those dreams presently are called "nightmares." We must change that title, lest we offend persons of color, or POCs. "Nightmares" occur at night. Night is dark. Dark is a color. (It isn't really, and at one time, referring to people as "having dark skin" was the same as saying "darkie," -- Nothing is accurate or factual now, so never mind that explanation.) 

Anyway. Nightmares occur at night. Night is dark. Nightmares are bad. Therefore, dark is bad.

We can't have that.

We must change "nightmare" to "whitemare." All things white are bad. By calling a bad dream a "whitemare," we eliminate the idea of bad being applied to "night," which is "dark," and replace "bad" with its natural owner, "white."

From  now on, then, conversations will be like this:

"Did you sleep well?"

"No, I had a whitemare."

You're welcome.
