A quotation from Gaiman, Neil

I hope you will have a wonderful year, that you’ll dream dangerously and outrageously, that you’ll make something that didn’t exist before you made it, that you will be loved and that you will be liked, and that you will have people to love and to like in return. And, most importantly (because I think there should be more kindness and more wisdom in the world right now), that you will, when you need to be, be wise, and that you will always be kind.

Neil Gaiman (b. 1960) British fabulist
“Another Year,” blog entry (2008-12-31)

"Researchers are finding signs of REM sleep in a broader array of animals than ever before: in spiders, lizards, cuttlefish, zebrafish. The growing tally has some researchers wondering whether dreaming, a state once thought to be limited to human beings, is far more widespread than once thought."

"Marsupial mammals called echidnas show characteristics of REM and non-REM sleep at the same time. Reports on whales and dolphins suggest that they may not experience REM at all. Birds have REM sleep, which comes with twitching bills and wings and a loss of tone in the muscles that hold up their heads."

"Researchers reported a sleep-like state in cuttlefish."

"Researchers have since observed a similar state in octopuses."

"Researchers have also observed a REM-like stage in bearded dragons by recording signals from electrodes in their brains. And they have reported at least two sleep states in zebrafish based on the fishes' brain signatures."

"In pigeons, sleep scientist Gianina Ungurean of the Max Planck Institute for Biological Intelligence in Munich and the University Medicine Göttingen has observed, with colleagues, that pupils constrict during REM as they do during courtship behavior."

"Roundworms appear to have one sleep state only."

#Revati #Nakshatra in #Astrology
Revati means ‘the #wealthy’. Its symbol is #fish representing travelling or long journeys, specifically overseas or waterways. Another symbol is a #drum which means ‘a marker of time. That is why ‘timing’ is a significant factor for Revati natives.

Its deity is ‘ #Pushan’, a god of ‘safety’ or ‘safe travels’. Usually, these natives are the ones who don’t face any problems while travelling. Pushan is invoked to protect flocks from wolves and for safe travelling. He is also said to recover any lost items or animals.

Revati natives have soothing personalities. The #star under this nakshatra is called ‘ #AlPherg’ or ‘the tail of the northern fish’. This is a very auspicious nakshatra. The #stars located in this nakshatra give organisational ability and focus. The natives are indicative of a success-related journey in life. They are incredibly #psychic or have vivid #dreams. #Dreaming is a part of their life.

This deals with the last and final sign where they have this innate curiosity to know what this world is about and where we go after #death. However, it is a highly #spiritual nakshatra.

Generally, their #travels are #protected.
Even when there are minor problems, overall the travel should go well. Symbolically, it also means travelling to another world – to the next #reincarnation – the final #journey from this life to the next one.

Revati natives have a love for #humanity and society. They become part of communities that help people, where they offer money, time and connections. Children are important to them. The natives in this nakshatra love pets and provide food and shelter for animals.

Since this nakshatra is so connected to the sign of Pisces, they have a deep fondness for #water. They l#ove to live by the lake, river or ocean. It is a very profound nakshatra, and it does involve going beyond this world. Everything to do with letting go, compassion, forgiving, helping others, and protecting those who cannot help themselves gives this nakshatra a nurturing and sweet existence.

In the zodiac wheel, Revati Nakshatra is connected to the Pisces sign.

Longest night and shortest day,
the Holly King must soon give way,
In battle with the old Oak King,
for whom the Robin comes to sing.
Let Yuletide fires send up their smoke,
call Wren of the Holly and Robin of Oak.
Oak was defeated on Midsummers Night
When to the Holly he lost the fight.
Now his time is come again,
Robin shall defeat the Wren.
As the Holly King bows down
Oak King shall reclaim his crown.
To Robin and Oak we give our praise
for shorter nights and longer days.
Blessed Be. #Awen

Gosse's Bluff, called Tnorala by the Western Arrernte.

Let us now travel 175 km west of Alice Springs, where we see 5 km-wide ring-shaped mountain range that stands 150 metres above the desert, representing the remnant central uplift of an eroded 22 km-wide complex crater. The scientific explanation is that this structure formed from a comet impact some 142.5±0.8 million years ago. Over that time, the land eroded down almost 2 km in thickness. What we see today as the mountain range is the result of differential erosion, meaning the shocked stone is denser and eroded less than the surrounding landscape.

# The Dreaming Temple by Charlie Roscoe

Welcome once again to a journey into Imagination, this time we step inside the Dreaming Temple.

Your Dreams are a Sacred Space where your Imagination can roam free, and here we have a selection of journeys to dream to, to journey to, to sleep to, to wake to and to welcome into your world.

The First track on this album features a talented and beautiful singer named Outi Pulkkinen, hailing from the far North, in Finland. I first heard her singing on a radio interview and sampled her voice , weaving it into the composition. Then over ten years later, I tracked her down in real life and was granted permission to share the recordings right here, what a journey!!

The legend of Vainomoinenm is a folklore story about a magical man who builds a boat by Singing...and we weave the story into a mystical song here in the dreaming Temple.

Many of the Songs on this release were made whilst i was living and travelling in Indonesia, and this is a country with a very magical atmosphere, andIwas always conjuring up new ideas on my laptop in between journeys into the Jungle and to the Ocean.

Also, in Indonesia I met travelling musicians, and on the track "Tribal Memory" I recorded the talented Kora player Vieux Aliou Cissokho in my Jungle home , an amazing performance I am glad has found its way into the Dreaming Temple.

A few Tracks I released as singles earlier, but now they are remastered and sitting alongside brand new material on this release.

These songs came from a time with limited technology, just a small midi keyboard and laptop and one microphone, no huge studios , but im still happy with the uniqeness , the dream like quality that tie together all the songs.

These are great songs to allow yourself to let go, tune in, reflex and give thanks for life and remember some of the depth of wizardry and magic we all have access to, even in hard times such as these.

Many Blessings, Dear Friends, your support is welcomed with great thanks and I look forward to a meeting in person when it is time to meet in some great Concert Hall orOutdoor Festival! So Be it!

Until then, Stay Safe, Stay happy, with thanks, Charlie xxx

Originally just me doodling, but this became something. I have called it Dreamlands after the strange short stories by H.P. Lovecraft.

Wrote 
as I wrote to you, snow
kept falling ...as I wrote to you 
snow unrelenting....
layered the ground,
you
who were nowhere, even when
you sometimes came to press my door bell, 
O so lightly; and I answered
waking up from a dream;
you who've been never 
anywhere; Yet how you taught me, of ways to release 
self from suffering;
unrelenting...a thank you note; to my friend
long lost; Might you read this note
never? yet I write, hope rises in life, amidst its
sadness...
