  1. romance

    A dream is strictly a train of thoughts, fantasies, and images passing through the mind during sleep; a vision may occur when one is awake, and in clear exercise of the senses and mental powers; vision is often applied to something seen by the mind through supernatural agency, whether in sleep or wakefulness, conceived as more real and authoritative than a dream; a trance is an abnormal state, which is different from normal sleep or wakefulness. A reverie is a purposeless drifting of the mind when awake, under the influence of mental images; a day-dream that which passes before the mind in such condition. A fancy is some image presented to the mind, often in the fullest exercise of its powers. Hallucination is the seeming perception of non-existent objects, as in insanity or delirium. In the figurative sense, we speak of dreams of fortune, visions of glory, with little difference of meaning except that the vision is thought of as fuller and more vivid. We speak of a trance of delight when the emotion almost sweeps one away from the normal exercise of the faculties.

How to use romance in a sentence?

  1. Clare Boothe Luce:

    Lying increases the creative faculties, expands the ego, lessens the friction of social contacts. It is only in lies, wholeheartedly and bravely told, that human nature attains through words and speech the forbearance, the nobility, the romance, the idealism, that -- being what it is -- it falls so short of in fact and in deed.

  2. Stacey Abrams:

    The characters and their adventures are what I'd wished to read as a young Black woman -- stories that showcase women of color as nuanced, determined, and exciting, as Selena Montgomery.Berkley and as Stacey, I am proud to be a part of the romance writing community and excited that Berkley is reintroducing these stories for new readers and faithful fans.

  3. Gemma Allen:

    The earlier and more transparent people are about money, even if they respectfully disagree and learn to adjourn and come back, the better it is, the romance and your relationship will be better.

  4. Oscar Wilde:

    To love oneself is the beginning of a life-long romance.

  5. Bonnie Bedelia:

    Demi Moore was there, you know when romance is new and everything.
