when something that your staring at disappears, but your brainstill imagines it as if it is there allowing you to see it through interpretation until you realize it hasn't been there. not fading nor disappearing instantly, something else.
I had a dream last night and instead of me waking up it was "distaneing" away
When some resigns or retires from a job, they are on "eternity leave". This can also refer to someone who has passed away, especially someone who worked somewhere for a long time, retired/resigned, then passed away later.
Oh I'm sorry, you didn't know that Kelly is on eternity leave? She resigned and moved to Hawaii!
With regrets I would like to inform you that my boss is officially on eternity leave. I will never see or hear them again. Ever.
