"Mira la serenidad desta noche, la soledad en que estamos,
que nos convida a entremeter alguna vigilia entre nuestro sueño."
Don Quijote de la Mancha, deel II hfdst. LXVIII

Entre-temps is inspired by everything that is located in the in between. It names everything that happens out of the focus. It also refers to dorveille.

During the pre-industrial era many people had sleeping habits that differed remarkably from the ones we have today. Because they lived a different rhythm and because of the lack of sleeping comfort, it was common use to spent a part of the night awake. This period of being awake was called dorveille and it was used for many different obscure activities. (Hidden) love or affaires were of course of the most common, but it was also the ideal time to commit all sorts of criminal acts. Another popular occupation was the interpretation of dreams, as they were freshly lingering in the memory, hence many a writer was inspired during this mysterious dorme-veille. Those of a more devoted nature used the time to pray.
