dread, n.All

The irukandji jellyfish venom causes an unusual symptom where the victim has a feeling of "impending doom." The victim of so-called irukandji syndrome is so sure they are going to die, that they ask the doctors to kill them.

Dread is impending, one feels some relief when the trouble has come.

Dread is a remote infinity of possibility.

Dread is a sympathetic antipathy and an antipathetic sympathy.

Dread is fear when caused by something utterly unfamiliar.
