The domain name that I chose for my blog is Awake & Dreaming. I started using this name for my blog site that I used in Blogger from 2005 and continued with that name ever since. I used to call it Roshan’s Blog-o-matic but changed it to this as I found it a hell of a lot more appropriate. When people ask me why I chose this name, I am usually not quite so forthcoming. If you google for Awake & Dreaming you will find it is several things, like:-
- A punk rock band from Toronto
- A novel by Kit Pearson
- The name of a black & white close up of a horse’s eye and part of his nose by Sarah Underwood from Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada
- Also the name of a drawing by Barbara Kacicek who does fantastic imaginary realistic drawnings & the title of her blog
- The name of an album by the UK prog-rock band The Gift
- The name of the website of website designer & artist Sara Bailey
- And the blog of a social worker
- The name of a song by the band Warship
- Also a song by the rock band Takara, contained on their Blind In Paradise album
But how I got the name was by the song Awake & Dreaming by Finger 11, which I love so much and plus I thought it would be a cool name and perfectly describes my character. It’s sad & beautiful at the same time.
I love thew name of your blog. I walk around my office all day AWAKE and DREAMING that I was elsewhere!
The same here dear. Every night before I go to sleep, I like awake for an hour or so and dream awake. What the world should be.
The answer to that, is a lot like Star Trek ;)
