The kite is your counting anchor. Steve asks you to see a kite far out in the sky above the beach, then counts from ten to one. Each number lowers the kite, and each time it drops you relax more deeply, until at one you are completely at ease.

There are three parts. As you fall asleep, tell yourself to remember your dreams. On waking, stay with your eyes closed and go over the dream: who was there, what happened, what you saw, heard and smelled. Then write it down, ideally in a journal and pen kept by your bed. He also says to get at least eight hours of sleep, since that gives your mind room to dream and recall.

It says each dream has a purpose and that you can learn to trust your intuition. Some dreams are direct and others need interpreting, so you think over the details and come up with your own reading. A dream might point to a change you need to make, remind you of something forgotten, or bring back a happy memory from long ago.

It is a visualization about self-image. You see the negative labels once used to describe you written in the sand and wipe them away with your foot. Then you take a hammer and chisel to a boulder and carve positive words about yourself, which are described as a permanent mark. Steve leaves silent pauses for you to do each part.

Steve invites you to think about something you haven't yet shared with the world, and three things that make you unique. You also release long-held stress and picture yourself doing two ordinary activities in a calm, focused way. The pauses leave space for you to fill in your own answers.

Near the end he points out how hard it is to recall what was said minutes ago, and tells you not to bother trying. You can choose to remember to forget or forget to remember. The idea is that you needn't work at it, because your subconscious will keep processing the suggestions while you sleep.
