Whether you are a child, a young adult, a parent or a grandparent, I think everyone deserves a good bedtime story. So I will read some for you. If you can’t fall asleep with the first episode, don’t worry - it might take a few episodes until your ears are fully comfortable with my voice, and your brain allows you to completely let go of listening to it. So give it a few tries and let me carry you away. And if you like it, don’t forget to follow so I can keep helping people to fall asleep.
My name is John Thomas, thank you for listening and I wish you a great night's sleep.
15 - The Vision by the Fountain - by Nathaniel Hawthorne

13 - The Brave Tin Soldier | Hans Christian Andersen
Good evening Dreamlanders,
I hope you had a great day. And if not, that's okay as well, you still deserve to relax. So lay down and practice it.
Tonight's story is about braveness and faith. If we keep believing in our dreams we might reach them one day, even if it's not in a way we expected it to happen.
Thank you for listening and I wish you a great night's sleep.
Good night.

12 - The Shepherdess and The Chimney Sweep | Hans Christian Andersen
Good evening Dreamlanders,
Tonight I added the relaxation exercise again because it might take a few times until you can give into it. And will do so for the next few episodes. As with everything, relaxation takes practice. The more you allow yourself to intentionally relax, the better you'll get at it.
The story tonight is about comfort zone and breaking out of it, what it means to do so and how we might appreciate our comfort zone more if we break out of it for once.
Thank you for listening.
I wish you a great night's sleep.
Good night.

Tonight, I'm going to read the second part of The Fir Tree. I think it has a beautiful ending and puts a new perspective on how to reflect on things and that we can change our emotional state about negative memories.
I wish you great relaxation and a great night's sleep.
Good night.

09 - The Flying Trunk | Hans Christian Andersen
Good evening Dreamlanders,
I hope you had a great start into the week and are looking forward to hear another bedtime story. Tonight I'm going to read the Flying trunk. It shows us that if we have something special, we should appreciate it in a discrete and humble way and not show it off, because it might strike back and we end up with nothing....
I wish you a great nights sleep...
Good night.

06 - The Fisherman and His Wife | Brothers Grimm
This bedtime story talks about always wanting more. Sometimes we should be happy with what we've got because with too much unhealthy ambition, we will poison our environment and might at last destroy everything.

05 - The Valiant Little Tailor | Brothers Grimm
Tonight's bedtime story is another Brothers Grimm fairytale. It tells us that sometimes, cleverness and self confidence is all we need to achieve great things. It doesn't mean we should go around telling lies about ourselves to appear better, but nonetheless we should also not make ourselves smaller than we are.
I wish you a great night's sleep
