the black telescope

I play bass. I make noise. Like a washing machine filled with hammers.

What Dreams May Come

This is my current horoscope from Freewill Astrology:
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The Hebrew word *chalom* means "dream." In his book *Healing Dreams,* Marc Ian Barasch notes that it's derived from the verb "to be made healthy and strong." Linguist Joseph Jastrow says that *chalom* is related to the Hebrew word *hachlama,* which means "recovery, recuperation." Extrapolating from these poetic hints and riffing on your astrological omens, I've got a prescription for you to consider: To build your vitality in the coming weeks, feed your dreams. And I mean "dreams" in both the sense of the nocturnal adventures you have while you're sleeping and the sweeping daytime visions of what you'd like to become.

I have the feeling something important is happening, some unseen machination, some stars coming right (ch-ch-chhh), because not only is this the second week in which dreams have featured in this horoscope (they don't normally), it also coincides with both my learning of this, and of a marked shift in my dreaming.

I don't care how hokey this sounds, significance is personal and wherever you find it.  Unless you're clinically diagnosed with certain types madness, of course.
