hayaline
Hayaline is a fictional character from the animated television series "The Simpsons," created by Matt Groening. Introduced in the episode "Homer the Heretic" in 1990, Hayaline is a fictional character who appears in Homer Simpson's dreams. Hayaline is a mysterious figure who often appears in Homer's dreams, usually in a white robe and with a mysterious aura. The character's name is a play on the word "hypnagogic," which refers to the state of consciousness between wakefulness and sleep. Hayaline's purpose and significance within the series are not clearly defined, and the character's appearances are often used to foreshadow events or provide a sense of the surreal and fantastical nature of Homer's dreams. Despite being a recurring character, Hayaline has a relatively minor role in the overall narrative of "The Simpsons."
