Yoko Ono will unveil the Imagine Peace Tower in Reykjavik, Iceland, on Oct. 9 - on what would have been husband John Lennon's 67th birthday.

"This is something that we spoke about 40 years ago," Ono told The Associated Press by phone this week before heading for Iceland. "Our dream is finally coming true."

The Imagine Peace Tower is a stories-tall beam of light that will emanate from a wishing well bearing the words "imagine peace" in 24 languages. The tower will be lit each year from Oct. 9 to Dec. 8, "so it has the feeling of the shortness of life, but the light is eternal," Ono said. Ono, 74, came up with the concept for the light tower in 1965. Lennon was interested, she said. "He was visualizing then that it would probably become a reality one day," she said.
