Morose

Moroseness — a sullen, sunken mood — often touches waking to find the world, for you, going badly wrong, or unpleasant company and occupations. The dream may ask where a heavy, withdrawn darkness is settling over you, and whether the gloom you feel reflects a real reversal or a bleakness colouring everything from within.

Miller 1901

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
