About this session
- Settles night wakefulness
- Quiets racing thoughts
- Relaxes the body
- Invites restful sleep
A sleep story with hypnotherapy techniques, told in a quiet, unhurried voice. You follow Gabriel, a gentle dream weaver who works at night in a workshop of stardust jars and shimmering crystals, his loom swaying on a hanging net as he crafts dreams for sleepers below. The story runs through twice in full.
It suits anyone who wakes in the small hours and can't find the way back to sleep, or who likes a story to follow instead of their own thoughts. Press play when you wake, or at bedtime, and let it repeat as long as you need.

Questions people ask
Still unsure? Ask your assistant anything about this session.
Why does the story play twice?
The opening explains that the stories repeat automatically for people who need longer to relax and drift off. Around the halfway point the tale begins again from "Long ago, nestled within the mystical realm of dreams." Hearing familiar words a second time means there's nothing new to follow, so your mind can let go.
What is the swaying net about?
Gabriel's weaving machine rests on a hanging net that sways "back and forth, back and forth, back and forth" as it works. The phrase returns several times, and its slow, rocking rhythm is there for you to settle into, much like being gently rocked.
Is there a breathing moment I can join in with?
Yes. As Gabriel watches his creations take shape, he breathes in deeply, taking in peace and tranquility, and breathes out any worries. It isn't a formal exercise, but you can follow along with your own slow breath whenever you hear it.
What does Gabriel actually do in the story?
Each night he picks the finest threads of imagination and weaves tales of love, adventure and magic, each thread a strand of stardust. The other dream weavers gather to watch and tell him he has proved himself, and his soothing voice lulls them to sleep. You're invited to drift off in the same way.
What does "you are never alone" refer to near the end?
The closing lines say the workers surrender to sleep knowing their dreams will be full of wonder, and that the dream weaver is always by their side, weaving tales of wonder and delight until dawn. It's a reassuring image for anyone who feels alone while awake at night.
Why is it suggested for the middle of the night?
The story is gentle, with no twists to keep you alert, and the workshop is set at night under a high moon. The story also says there is no judgment and no worries in the workshop, and it invites you to let go of tension. That makes it easy to start when you wake and want to return to sleep.
