Quotes The dream--that is, the state of being freed of the pressure of diurnal consciousness--is, it is true, the prerequisite for the metamorphosis. -- Wilhelm Emrich, "The Animal as Liberating 'Self,'" The Metamorphosis, 1972 Origin Diurnal derives from the Latin term for "day," diēs. It entered English in the mid-1400s, when it was used chiefly to describe the movements of celestial objects.
