What a great word! But I'm still not all too clear on what that means exactly... Can you use it in a sentence?

It's an intersting word, seems to be derived from the Greek novel "Hypnerotomachia Poliphili" or "The Strife of Love in a Dream". John Crowley used the title and many themes from the Hypnerotomachia in his 1994 novel, "Love and Sleep". As for using it in a sentence, I'm still working on that one!
