James Joyce Experience, Dublin Day, Dublin Night.

The metaphors exposed, the connections made, the merging, the joining, the medium waves, the nightmare of history of our Pale Blue Dot, from which we all try to awaken - and we all try to World Wide Wake.

"Dieing" is a misspelling of "dying." While "dieing" might be used in a manufacturing context (like using a die to shape metal), it's not the correct term for the process of ceasing to live. "Dying" is the correct word to use when referring to the act of becoming dead.

"the act of becoming dead" is a pretty rare phrase itself ;)
