Nocturnal Flinching

When someone is sleeping and they have a dream or thought of themselves getting hurt or falling, and their body physically reacts, and causes them to jerk or flinch rather spasmodically.

Guy: What the fuck tracy, you kicked me in the balls last night in bed???

Tracy: sorry, i had a bad dream and probably got a nocturnal flinching.

Guy: go fuck yourself, we're done.

Nocturnist

A physician, usually one of the best in his or her feild, who is so adept at practicing medicine that they frequently handle any and all after hour emergencies in large hospitals with little to no help at bedside from colleagues or subspecialists. Usually high income earners with strong work ethic, very often referred to as the Guardian Angels of the hospital due to their ability to single handedly solve problems and keep critically ill patients alive at night. Can often teach Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) in their sleep. Often exclusively work at night. Proper noun, capitalization important differentiator from non-physician references.

"That physician is the best damn Nocturnist that I have ever had the privilege to work with... saved more lives at night than any other physcian I know."

Nocturnal Admission

A dream in which sexual adventures are replaced with college acceptances, and you have the pleasures of dreaming that you have, in fact, been accepted into college. These are just as disappointing to wake up from as sexual dreams.

"I had a nocturnal admission last night."
"Aw, man, again?"
"This time it was Dartmouth...I cried when I woke up."
