Dreams
Robbi and I have been having a lot of weird and strange dreams. Pushing buttons, turning large disc objects all of which, changes universes. 2 nights ago I had a dream of giving my daughter an Acient Old Book. It's cover was crushed velvet red, at least it looked it, and gold trim.
So I recreated what I saw in my dream as close as I can and here is that image.
I then uploaded it into google images and got this..........

Book of Hours
Description
The Book of Hours was a prayer book for the
laity that developed in late medieval Europe and that was used for
private devotion. These works were often personalized for individual
patrons and illuminated with miniature paintings depicting the life of
Christ, the Virgin Mary, and individual saints. The text included a
calendar of liturgical feast days and a series of prayers to be recited
eight times a day, according to established practice. By the early
Renaissance period the popularity of the Book of Hours demonstrated the
growing interest of the laity in speaking directly with God and the
saints, rather than exclusively through the church and the ordained
clergy. This manuscript Book of Hours from early 16th century France was
written on vellum skin and includes 16 large and 26 small miniature
paintings highlighted in gold and painted with rich primary colors. It
is embellished with headings and paragraph marks in blue and red ink,
and is written in delicate Roman letters of the highest quality. Both
the text and the illuminations are ascribed to the Parisian workshop of
Geoffroy Tory.
