Journey to the farthest edges of the sky, where time slows and dreams take flight. Guided by the Man Who Lives in the Clouds—a celestial guardian of peace and rest—you will ascend a golden staircase through mist and twilight, wrapped in the quiet embrace of the heavens. As he reveals the hidden wonders of the sky, you will drift deeper into tranquility, carried by the whisper of the wind and the glow of distant stars. Let his gentle wisdom and the embrace of the clouds lead you into deep, restorative sleep. Music by Denis-Pavlov (Via Pixabay)

Transcript

Welcome to the soft embrace of this wondrous evening,

A place where time slows,

The stars shine brighter,

And dreams are born within the luminous glow of moonlit clouds.

Tonight,

Our story begins on the farthest edges of earth,

Where peace flows like a quiet stream brushed with lavender and gold.

Now close your eyes and imagine a world where clouds spin dreams into dazzling star flakes,

And a gentle protector washes over all who wander into his care.

Drift into this mystical tale,

A journey to meet a man who has lived as long as the heavens are wide,

A man whose essence is born from light and air,

A being sculpted from the emptiness between frosted moons,

A man who has always been,

Who has no beginning or end,

And whose wisdom can be found within the forgotten layers of the universe.

This is a story about the man who lives in the clouds,

A guardian of rest,

A keeper of peace,

And a friend to all who seek comfort.

He is a celestial being who seeks out the weary and the tired,

And tonight he offers you the promise of deep,

Restful dreams.

As you settle in,

Let your body soften into the peaceful arms of stillness.

Take a deep breath,

Filling your heart space with the afterglow of moonlight and rest.

As you exhale,

Allow yourself to sink into this moment,

Leaving the worries of the world far behind.

Picture yourself at the base of a great mountain.

The air carries the faint scent of a warm August rain,

And a path winds upward through pine-scented trees.

With each step,

You feel lighter,

The sound of the world fading into silence.

Looking around,

You notice how the sunlight sparkles through the branches,

Casting patterns of golden effervescence to help guide your way.

As you climb,

Let your breathing ground you into this enchanted world of celestial dreamscapes.

Each step quiets your mind,

Allowing you to ease into the effortlessness of being present.

The path is gentle,

Winding upward as your worries dissolve like weary fireflies in the morning light.

Notice the quiet here.

There's no noise,

No distractions.

Slowly,

The forest thins,

Giving way to soft patches of velvety green fern.

Feel the magical pull of this timeless realm,

Calling you upward.

And then,

Giving way to open skies,

You reach the summit.

The view is a beautiful palette of muted colors that paint the sky in every direction.

It's so peaceful.

The silence lulls you deeper into a calmer state of restfulness.

It's safe here.

Tranquil.

The clouds below glow with a soft,

Silvery light,

Moving like quiet waves on a gentle sea.

It's here,

Within the broken corners of reality,

That a golden staircase emerges.

Each step carefully chiseled from the dense fiber of the fragile air we breathe.

Far above,

The clouds are light and free,

Forming lost shadows within the orange and pink of a waning dusk.

This mystical staircase stretches upward,

Vanishing into a translucent haze of glimmery clouds.

Breathing softly,

Your body continues to relax as you slowly begin your ascent upward.

Each step fills you with calm and serenity.

As the night deepens,

Time moves differently here.

The air is filled with the faint scent of summer blossoms.

You're surrounded by an ethereal glow that wraps around,

Like whispers carried on a desert breeze.

At the top of the staircase,

The clouds part to reveal a shimmering expanse of light.

In the center of this ethereal realm,

He appears.

The man who lives in the clouds.

His presence is timeless,

And his eyes,

Holding the warmth of a thousand stars.

This man,

The keeper of the clouds,

Is a guardian of peace,

A guide for those who seek comfort in the quiet sky.

A soft glow surrounds him as he greets you with a gentle smile.

Welcome,

He says.

You've traveled far to be here.

He leads you into his world,

Where clouds are more than vapor.

They are dream vessels,

Filled with memories and hope.

He shows you a stream of liquid light,

Its surface rippling with color.

This,

He says,

Is where I gather the dreams of those who seek rest.

Every dream is a light waiting to bloom,

A spark of hope and renewal.

As he dips his hand into the water,

You feel warmth in your chest,

And a lightness spreading through you.

Your dreams are here too,

He says softly,

Held safely until their time is ready.

As you continue your walk,

He leads you to the edge of the sky,

Where clouds melt into a vast horizon of endless sunsets.

Shades of gold,

Amber,

And violet swirl together,

Shifting like crooked brushstrokes of a waning artist.

These colors represent moments of peace and kindness from the world below,

He says.

Every act of love,

Every quiet moment of joy,

Paints the sky with its own light.

As you reach out,

The colors shimmer beneath your fingertips,

Humming softly,

As though whispering your stories.

Your life is part of this ever-changing sky,

He continues.

Let it remind you of the goodness within,

Just as the sky reflects the beauty of the world.

So too do you reflect kindness and love.

The man in the clouds turns to you.

It's time for you to return,

He says gently.

Remember,

The peace you feel here is always within.

Whenever you seek it,

Close your eyes,

And you can return.

I will always offer you restful dreams.

He steps back,

His smile full of love and reassurance.

Now,

Let the clouds carry you further into rest.

Let this healing light guide you home.

With a soft wave of his hand,

The clouds begin to swirl.

A gentle breeze,

Cradling you in its soothing embrace.

You float weightlessly.

The golden staircase fades into the distance,

As the purple tones of twilight lull you deeper into sleep.

At last,

You rest safely in your bed.

Your breath slow,

Your body at ease,

As the hum of the universe echoes softly in the air.

And as you drift off,

His voice lingers in your mind.

A quiet echo from this peaceful night.

You are safe.

You are light.

A big smile comes on my face, reflecting on this fable. Early in, Joe's thoughtful language and imagery guided me to a blissful, lucid dream as the tranquil forest of pines and ferns morphed into wild mountain thyme and blooming heather. I encourage everyone to gift yourself the time and enjoy this safe, tranquil journey, allowing your heart space to overflow with moonlight. ' Good night my Dream Walker'. With deep gratitude 🙂💚
