Welcome little dreamer,

Tonight we're going on a magical journey through the stars with a very special friend,

A sleepy unicorn who is ready to guide you into the coziest,

Dreamiest sleep.

So snuggle into your bed,

Find your favorite pillow,

And take a big,

Deep breath in,

And out.

That's it.

Feel your body getting soft and cozy,

Your arms and legs are relaxing,

And your eyes are starting to feel sleepy.

Now close your eyes and let's begin our journey.

I want you to imagine you are standing in a peaceful meadow under a glowing night sky.

The air is cool and soft,

Like a gentle hug,

Carrying the fresh scent of blooming flowers.

The grass beneath your feet is velvety and warm,

Gently tickling your toes as you take a few slow steps forward.

Listen,

Can you hear the whisper of the wind?

It moves like a lullaby,

Rustling through the tall grass and making the leaves dance.

Crickets sing their nighttime song,

And tiny fireflies twinkle all around you,

Blinking like little stars.

Everything feels quiet,

Peaceful,

And safe.

As you take another step,

You notice something glowing softly in the distance,

A warm light like the moon's gentle glow,

It shimmers through the trees.

And then you hear it,

A soft,

Sweet neigh,

Like the sound of a dream calling your name.

Turning toward the sound,

You see something magical.

Standing in the meadow,

Bathed in moonlight,

Is the most beautiful unicorn you've ever seen.

Its mane shimmers like stardust,

Flowing in soft waves of silver,

Pink,

And blue.

Its horn glows like a gentle golden light,

Warm and welcoming.

Its kind eyes sparkle with love and friendship,

As if it has been waiting just for you.

The unicorn takes a step closer towards you,

Nuzzling your cheek with its soft nose.

You reach out,

Running your fingers through its silky mane.

It feels like the softest clouds,

Warm and soothing beneath your touch.

The unicorn lets out a happy sigh,

Leaning into you as if to say,

I'm so glad you are here.

Then,

It kneels down,

Inviting you to climb up onto its back.

As you settle in,

You feel completely safe,

Wrapped in warmth,

As if the universe itself is tucking you in.

The unicorn takes a deep breath,

Its body rising softly and falling beneath you.

And then,

With a small,

Gentle leap,

You begin to float up,

Up,

Up into the night sky.

The unicorn glides effortlessly through the air,

Lifting you higher and higher.

Cool,

Peaceful air surrounds you,

Wrapping around you like a cozy dream.

Above you,

The sky is filled with stars,

Twinkling,

Shimmering,

Glowing like tiny lanterns lighting your path.

Some of the stars wink at you,

As if they recognize you.

Others hum softly,

Filling the air with a dream lullaby.

As you soar,

You drift past glowing clouds that shimmer like cotton candy.

The unicorn hums a sleepy tune,

A sound so gentle and calming that you feel your whole body getting lighter,

Softer,

Sleepier.

Ahead,

A magical sight appears,

Constellations glowing in the sky,

Forming shapes of playful animals.

A lion made of stars lets out a silent roar,

Its sparkling mane flowing like a gold river.

A great,

Gentle whale drifts past,

Its body twinkling with a thousand tiny lights.

A rabbit leaps from star to star,

Leaving a trail of silver dust behind it.

The unicorn turns its head towards you,

As if to say,

Isn't it beautiful?

You smile,

Feeling like you were a part of the stars themselves,

Floating weightlessly in a world of dreams.

As you continue your journey,

You spot something ahead,

A waterfall,

In the middle of the sky.

But instead of water,

It flows with shimmering light,

Cascading down in glowing streams of blues and silvers.

It sparkles like falling stars,

And as you pass through it,

Tiny droplets of light land on your skin,

Filling you with warmth and peace.

Beyond the waterfall,

A breathtaking sight unfolds,

A moonlit garden floating amongst the stars.

Soft glowing flowers bloom all around,

Their petals made of light.

The unicorn gently lands,

Allowing you to step down onto a cloud-soft path.

Fireflies made of moonlight flutter past,

And in the center of the garden,

A small pool of water reflects the universe above.

The unicorn lowers its head and dips its horn into the water.

As it does,

A soft glow ripples outward,

Sending waves of peaceful energy all around.

You take a deep breath,

Feeling the magic of this place filling your heart.

The unicorn turns to you and gently touches its horn to your hand.

When you open your fingers,

You find a tiny glowing star resting in your palm.

It twinkles softly,

Warm,

And full of light.

This is for you,

The unicorn seems to say,

A little piece of the stars to keep with you,

Always.

Holding the tiny star close,

You feel a deep sense of comfort and love.

No matter where you go,

You will always have this little light inside of you.

The unicorn kneels once more,

Inviting you to rest.

You curl up against its soft mane,

Feeling lighter than air.

As the unicorn hums a gentle lullaby,

Your body melts into relaxation.

Now,

Let's count down from 10 to 1.

With each number,

You will feel sleepier,

Cozier,

And ready to drift into the most peaceful sleep.

10.

Your toes and feet feel soft and heavy,

Melting into comfort.

9.

Your legs are completely relaxed,

Light as air.

8.

Your tummy feels calm and warm,

Like a cozy hug.

7.

Your chest rises and falls with each soft,

Sleepy breath.

6.

Your arms and hands feel heavy and still,

Ready for rest.

5.

Your shoulders drop,

Letting go of the day.

4.

Your neck and head feel soft,

Resting on your pillow like a fluffy cloud.

3.

Your eyelids are so heavy,

Gently closing as you drift deeper.

2.

Your whole body is safe,

Relaxed,

And peaceful.

1.

You are floating into sleep,

Feeling warm,

Cozy,

And loved.

2.

The unicorn curls up beside you,

Its mane draping around you like a blanket of stardust.

3.

You are safe,

You are loved,

And you are ready for the sweetest dreams.

And now,

Little dreamer,

It is time to rest.

The sleepy unicorn is dreaming beside you,

And soon you'll be dreaming too.

Let yourself drift deeper and deeper,

Floating in the most magical,

Peaceful sleep.

Good night,

Sweet child.

May your dreams be full of wonder and light.

The unicorn will be here,

Waiting for you in the stars,

Ready for another journey whenever you are ready.

Sleep well,

And have the sweetest dreams.
