Greek term or phrase: μαλακισμένα
Ξύπνησα από έναν ήλιο με πυκνά κρόσσια που έπεφτε παντού. Ακόμα και στα μάτια.
Τις πρώτες στιγμές, το κεφάλι μου ήταν άδειο. Είχα δει άσχημα όνειρα το προηγούμενο βράδυ, αλλά δεν τα θυμόμουν γιατί τα όνειρα είναι μαλακισμένα και μόλις τα δω το βάζουν στα πόδια.

Any non-literal, preferably, suggestions please?
