Dream Dictionary
Daisy
To dream of a bunch of daisys, implies sadness, but if you dream of being in a field where these lovely flowers are in bloom, with the sun shining and birds singing, happiness, health and prosperity will vie each with the other to lead you through the pleasantest avenues of life.

To dream of seeing them out of season, you will be assailed by evil in some guise.

DAISY Digital Talking Book
Digital Accessible Information System, or DAISY, is a format based on the W3C defined SGML applications XHTML 1.0 and SMIL 1.0. Using this framework, a talking book format is presented that enables navigation within a sequential and hierarchical structure consisting of (marked-up) text synchronized with audio. DAISY assists people who, for different reasons, have problems using regular printed media. DAISY books have the benefits of regular audio books, but they are superior when it comes to navigating the content and displaying synchronized text. For example, DAISY books can enable users who are blind to navigate an encyclopedia. An encyclopedia as a regular audio book would be useless because it lacks search and navigation features and requires a linear listen.
