Rückkehrunruhe

Rückkehrunruhe

The feeling of returning home after an immersive trip only to find it fading rapidly from your awareness—to the extent you have to keep reminding yourself that it happened at all, even though it felt so vivid just days ago—which makes you wish you could smoothly cross-dissolve back into everyday life, or just hold the shutter open indefinitely and let one scene become superimposed on the next, so all your days would run together and you’d never have to call cut.

Genau, sag' es für meine Wissenslücke treffender ..., any way of prolonging this predicament?

Ah. you've discovered another one of those long German words. Let me see if I can unpack it. "Return" + "Travel" + "Unrest". Kinda like Schadenfreude.

Thanks, Dav, for this piece of vocabulary...very appropriate. Any way of making it last?
