Hello there sleepy friend,
It's time to close your eyes and take a magical journey.
Tonight a very special bus is waiting just for you.
It's no ordinary bus,
It's the Dreamland bus.
It only comes when the stars are twinkling and the moon is smiling down.
Can you hear it?
Shh,
That's the soft hiss of the doors opening.
Step on board,
The seats are soft as clouds and everything feels warm,
Cosy and safe.
You choose a seat by the window and the moment you sit down a cosy blanket gently wraps around your shoulders.
The lights inside twinkle like tiny fireflies and a kind voice says,
Welcome aboard,
We're on our way to Dreamland.
The bus hums gently,
It begins to roll forward,
Slowly,
Smoothly.
Your eyelids feel heavier with each turn of the wheels.
Outside the window you see sparkling trails of light,
Floating bubbles and sleepy stars waving hello.
The bus driver announces the first stop,
The meadow of moonlight.
The bus glides to a stop and you step out into a soft glowing meadow.
The grass shines silver in the moonlight,
Soft and cool beneath your feet.
Tiny glowing flowers sway gently in the breeze,
Their petals singing soft lullabies that sound like twinkling bells.
A path lined with luminous pebbles leads you forward through the meadow.
Everything sparkles but nothing is too bright,
Just the perfect shimmer to help you feel calm and curious.
A friendly fox appears,
Her fur sparkles like stardust and her eyes are warm and wise.
She trots up to you and bows gently.
Welcome,
She whispers kindly,
Here in the meadow of moonlight we help dreams bloom like flowers.
She shows you a patch of sleepy blossoms and as you approach they gently open to show tiny glowing dreams inside.
Floating boats,
Talking butterflies and castles in the clouds.
The fox gives you a glowing feather and says this will keep you calm and safe on your journey.
It holds the perfect peaceful light of this meadow.
You sit on a soft moonstone bench and listen to the flowers hum for a while.
The music feels like a lullaby made just for you.
After a little while the gentle chime of the dreamland bus calls you back.
You wave goodbye to the fox who vanishes like mist.
You climb back onto the bus and as the doors close you feel even more relaxed.
The hum of the wheels lulls you deeper into your dreams.
The bus driver says next stop the rainbow falls.
The bus floats into a glowing valley where shimmering waterfalls tumble down cliffs of crystal.
Each waterfall flows with a different colour of the rainbow.
Bright pinks,
Soft blues,
Golden yellows and gentle purples.
But the waterfalls don't roar,
They sing.
Each drop makes a sleepy soothing note.
Together they play a lullaby that wraps around your heart.
Mist rises in the air like fairy dust and soft rainbows float from flower to flower.
A gentle dragon appears gliding down from the sky on giant shimmering wings.
He lands beside you,
His scales twinkling like diamonds in the morning sun.
Hello traveller,
He rumbles in a voice as smooth as warm cocoa.
Here in Rainbow Falls we fill dreams with colour and joy.
He leads you to the edge of the pool where the water sparkles with dreams of creativity.
Dreams of painting the sky,
Baking cakes that sing,
And flying through the stars.
He dips a claw into the water and pulls out a glowing crystal shaped like a star.
This is for you,
He says.
It will keep your dreams bright and joyful.
You thank him and he gives you a slow comforting wink.
Then he curls up beside the falls humming along with the lullaby.
You sit for a while feeling the cool mist on your skin and the peace settle in your chest.
Then the soft whistle of the bus calls you gently home.
You step back on board feeling lighter and warmer inside.
The crystal sparkles in your hand.
The rainbow music fades as the Dreamland bus rolls on.
The bus driver announces the next stop the Forest of Floating Lights.
As the bus glides through a velvet sky it dips low into a forest that glows with golden fireflies.
The trees are tall and gentle swaying softly in the quiet breeze.
Their leaves sparkle with little floating lights dream lights,
Each one holding a whisper of someone's happiest thought.
You walk softly along a winding path of moss feeling your breath slow and your body relax.
A wise old owl swoops down from the branches.
Her feathers shine with the colours of the moon silver,
Soft blue and snow white.
She lands gently beside you and speaks in a voice like a cosy storybook.
Welcome Dreamer In the Forest of Floating Lights we watch over dreams and protect their quiet beauty.
She shows you how to hold your breath still and when you do a floating light drifts gently towards your hand.
You catch it and inside is a dream of a smiling sun hugging the earth.
The owl smiles this is what rests inside you joy,
Wonder and peace.
She gives you a tiny bell that makes no sound only peace.
Hold it near when your thoughts feel noisy she says it brings stillness to the mind.
You sit with her a little longer feeling the lights drift around you like butterflies.
They warm your heart and your eyelids begin to feel even heavier now.
It's time to go you thank the owl and she nods before flying gently back into the trees.
The bus is waiting,
Soft and golden in the clearing.
You climb aboard,
Curl up in your seat and sigh,
Safe and calm.
The bus driver says you have arrived at the last stop the Cloud Castle.
The Dreamland bus lifts higher,
Higher until you're floating far above the stars.
You're among the clouds now pillowy,
Glowing clouds that stretch as far as the eye can see.
Nestled in the middle is a magnificent castle made entirely of clouds.
The towers puff gently in the sky and sparkles drift like snowflakes around them.
The air smells like warm vanilla and soft lavender.
You walk across a bridge made of rainbows and enter the castle.
Inside,
Everything is soft floors like marshmallows walls like pillows.
The Cloud King and Queen welcome you with warm smiles.
Their crowns are made of moonbeams and their robes shimmer like the sky just before sunrise.
Welcome dear traveller,
The Queen says gently.
You've made it all the way to Dreamland.
They take you to a room filled with glowing orbs each one a dream waiting to happen.
You choose one and it floats into your hands.
Inside you see yourself flying through a world of friendly animals and smiling stars.
The King gives you a golden key.
This will open the door to any dream you wish to explore and tonight you may dream anything your heart desires.
You thank them and curl up on the fluffiest bed you've ever felt.
A cloud blanket tucks you in.
You are safe.
You are loved.
You close your eyes and the Dreamland bus slowly fades into the stars taking you even deeper into your dreams.
Your breathing is soft now in and out like waves on the shore.
You are in Dreamland now where magical beings protect your sleep and adventures gently carry you through the night.
Goodnight little traveller.
Sleep well and dream sweet dreams.
