Hello there little dreamer.

It's time to slow down now.

To snuggle under the covers,

Get cozy and let your body rest after a wonderful day.

Can you feel your bed hugging you gently?

Let's take a deep breath in together.

In through your nose and let it out slowly.

Like the wind blowing softly through the trees.

Let's try that again.

Breathe in and breathe out.

That's it.

Now as your eyes get heavy and your body starts to feel soft and still,

Let's take a journey together.

A magical bedtime adventure to a place where dreams begin.

To a place high above the clouds where the stars twinkle like diamonds and a gentle ship made of cloud is waiting just for you.

Imagine now that you're lying on a soft cloud,

Fluffy and cool like cotton candy.

The cloud begins to float gently upward,

Lifting you up,

Up,

Up into the night sky.

You're weightless,

Drifting higher and higher,

Above the rooftops,

Past the tallest trees,

Beyond the hills and mountains,

Until the ground below is just a patchwork quilt of lights and colours.

You feel safe and calm.

The air around you is peaceful and warm.

The stars above twinkle and wink at you as you pass by.

And then,

There it is,

The cloud ship to dreamland.

It's a beautiful ship made entirely of soft,

Glowing cloud.

Its sails are stitched from moonlight and they shimmer like silver silk.

The ship is guided by gentle breezes and kind winds and its captain is waiting with a warm smile.

Welcome aboard,

The captain says softly.

You're right on time.

This ship will take you to dreamland.

You step aboard and the ship feels like a cosy blanket around you.

There are other children here too,

Already tucked into comfy nooks and dream pods.

Everyone is quiet,

Sleepy and ready to dream.

The ship begins to sail.

The cloud ship glides gently through the sky,

Past twinkling stars and glowing planets.

You see a sleepy moon waving goodnight and a family of glowing fireflies dancing in the air like tiny lanterns.

You float past a constellation of stars shaped like a giant teddy bear and another that looks like a smiling whale.

You hear soft lullabies on the wind,

Sung by the breeze itself.

They sound like hummingbirds whispering secrets of sleep.

As you snuggle into your cosy spot on the ship,

The sails catch a soft wind and the cloud ship dips lower,

Drifting gently into the valley of dreams.

There,

Below the clouds,

You see magical lands.

A forest made of candy canes and soft moss.

A glowing meadow where unicorns sleep under stardust trees.

A lake made of liquid moonlight,

So calm it looks like glass.

And you're headed right there,

To visit the three lands of dreamland,

Each with a special gift to help you sleep.

First,

The cloud ship visits the land of the sleepy animals.

You see soft-furred foxes curled in their dens,

Owls gently closing their wide,

Round eyes,

Kittens purring on velvet cushions.

And turtles tucked into mossy beds.

They each give you a sleepy smile,

Inviting you to feel as cosy as they do.

You take a deep breath in,

And out,

And feel your body relaxing even more,

Just like the sleepy animals.

Then the cloud ship floats gently to the garden of whispering wishes.

Here,

The flowers glow in the moonlight and hum lullabies.

The petals open slowly and whisper kind wishes to you.

You are safe.

You are loved.

You are ready to rest.

You listen as the flowers sway in the soft breeze,

Singing gentle songs just for you.

You feel their peace and kindness settle into your heart.

The final stop is the starry cave of dreams.

This cave sparkles with sleepy stardust,

And the air feels like a soft hug.

Inside,

Glowing crystals show peaceful dream scenes.

A castle made of clouds.

A treehouse in the sky.

A boat sailing through a rainbow sea.

The cave gives you a tiny,

Glowing crystal to keep.

A dream stone that helps carry you to the sweetest dreams.

You tuck it close to your heart and feel warmth and calm all around you.

The cloud ship turns gently and begins to float upward again,

Lifting slowly back into the stars.

The three dreamlands sparkle below,

Waving goodnight as you drift farther and farther away.

The stars above sing a lullaby now,

Soft and slow,

Just for you.

You're safe.

You're loved.

You're ready to rest.

The captain gives you a kind wink and says,

Your dreams are waiting.

Just close your eyes,

Little one.

We'll be back tomorrow.

The cloud ship gently lowers you back to your cozy bed.

The covers wrap around you like a soft cloud.

Your head rests gently on your pillow,

And the dream stone still glows softly in your hand.

Now feel your whole body melting into the bed.

From your head,

To your shoulders,

To your arms,

To your belly,

Down through your legs and all the way to your toes.

You are safe.

You are loved.

You are ready to drift into the sweetest dreams.

Goodnight,

Little one.

Sleep well and sail into dreamland whenever you're ready.

The stars will watch over you.

Sweet dreams.

Goodnight.
