Surreal and beautiful!

I love these sleep stories. They’re beautifully told and as surreal as a dream you’d have yourself. The recent episode on the journey ‘home’ had me in tears at the thought of my own recently passed dog best friend.

..OTOT.. ,

Addicted

Upon discovering your Stories just under a year ago, i have used them to fall asleep every night since - no exceptions. i’ve grown dependent on this podcast and would love more! please create more of these as i’ve listened to each one at least 3 times over!
