Wonderfool entries, deleted halfpastthreeintheafternoonmare but afraid I don't have time right now to check the others. Mglovesfun (talk) 07:25, 22 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
morningmare now has two citations, and seems to be humorous in intent.
For midnightmare, I haven't found citations for the disputed meaning, but as a variation on mid-nightmare it looks OK, at least as an adverb. More citations (including any corresponding to the noun sense of mid-nightmare) would help, but then the undisputed meanings are, um, not in dispute. At least not yet. — Pingkudimmi 10:32, 22 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
morningmare is now cited with one more citation from Usenet. —Internoob 04:02, 8 September 2011 (UTC)Reply
