Land of Dreams

Land of dreams (mythology)

In Greek mythology, the Land of dreams is a location in the Greek underworld mentioned by Homer in the Odyssey. Homer locates the land past the streams of Oceanus, the world-encircling river, and the gates of the Sun, close to the Fields of Asphodel, where the spirits of the dead reside. Described as "the land where reality ends and everything is fabulous", the district of dreams is situated by the stream of Oceanus, the physical boundary in cosmic space, beyond which lies the realm of images and ghosts.

Land of Dreams (Randy Newman album)

Land of Dreams is the eighth studio album by American musician Randy Newman. Released in 1988, the album features vignettes of his childhood in New Orleans. The title refers to a nickname for New Orleans in the Dixieland standard "Basin Street Blues", quoted in the opening track, "Dixie Flyer".

Land

Land, also known as dry land, ground, or earth, is the solid terrestrial surface of Earth not submerged by the ocean or another body of water. It makes up approximately 29% of Earth's surface and includes all continents and islands. Earth's land surface is almost entirely covered by regolith, a layer of rock, soil, and minerals that forms the outer part of the crust. Land plays an important role in Earth's climate system, being involved in the carbon cycle, nitrogen cycle, and water cycle. One-third of land is covered in trees another third is used for agriculture, and roughly one-tenth is covered in glacier ice. The remainder consists of desert, savannah, and prairie.

Dream

A dream is a succession of images, dynamic scenes and situations, ideas, emotions, and sensations that usually occur involuntarily in the mind during certain stages of sleep. Humans generally spend more than two hours dreaming per night, and each dream lasts around 5–20 minutes.
