Ethereal

A transcendent aesthetic state cultivating mystery, enchantment, and a sublime, dreamy disconnection from the material concerns of the mundane world.

The sublime beauty of the unreal. A feeling of being adrift in a beautiful, mysterious dream, where the ordinary rules of the world dissolve into enchantment and profound, quiet awe.
