'INDIVIDUAL DREAM SYMBOLISM IN RELATION TO ALCHEMY

26. DREAM:
It is night, with stars in the sky. A voice says, "Now it will begin." The dreamer asks, "What will begin?" Whereupon the voice answers, "The circulation can begin." Then a shooting star falls in a curious leftward curve.'

Signalling poetry in Morse code at four am from Bidston Observatory, across the river to poetry from the Hilton in another time.

Staying at Bidston Observatory in the space between the building's use as an observatory and it's official reopening as an artist residency, I felt privileged to inhabit this unseen time between two states. Researching, experimenting, signalling poetry in torchlight and leaving hidden messages.

The marked page in Jung's Dreams, found in the observatory cupola library, predicted the nighttime filming.
