Well I suppose it's a bit of a diversion but as a very small child, I was absolutely fascinated to watch Gumby turn aside in order to effortlessly slip into the books. It was my main (more like only) reason for watching the show, so the "quantum tunneling" concept really hits home.

Linking with the musical theme of the constellation,

The traveling into and out of inanimate objects did not stop with books for Gumby. We animated the note and its stem to fly through and into a 78 RPM record. It vanished into a music-land in the record the same way Gumby could vanish into a book.

78 RPM. It's like 78 REM, because 78 equals a word with many permutations and meanings (e.g. malach* ♪, lechem). He dreamed, חָלַם, or as

חֲלֹם!‏

(to a man) dream!

REM:

"Rapid eye movement sleep (REM sleep or REMS) is a unique phase of sleep in humans, mammals and birds, characterized by random rapid movement of the eyes, accompanied by low muscle tone throughout the body, and the propensity of the sleeper to dream vividly."

A well-known saying is that the eyes are the windows to the soul, but how many people consider this especially applicable... for when the eyes are *closed.*

Well now, this really isn't off topic at all. In fact, it loops back to what Bilaam was going on about with his parables, of having an open eye [שתם העין] (but the odd word also indicates that it's closed).

Enter through Klein's :

שֶֽׁתֶם m.n. PBH 1 a hole. NH 2 (hidden) entrance into a cave. [From שׁתם.]

This ring nebula certainly led into a productive zone. I always find the best stuff merely by wandering around, "aimlessly" from most perspectives, but there you have it.

* "But I am living still."

Can you believe that Joseph was hated for his dreams? Hated! I can believe it.
