    The Crane Maiden | Japanese Folklore Sleep Story

    In tonight’s story, you are a poor woodcutter who discovers a wounded crane on your way home from the market. You care for the bird, nursing it back to health until it can fly again. Shortly after the crane departs, a woman arrives at your doorstep seeking a place to stay. The woman repays your hospitality with mysterious and seemingly magical gifts, which bring you great wealth. As your fortunes change, you become more and more curious about your house guest – until you discover her connection to the crane you once cared for. This tale is lovingly adapted from the Japanese folktale “The Crane’s Return of a Favor.”

    The Alchemist under the Mountain

    In tonight’s story, you awaken upon a mountainside only to discover the unattended cavern workshop of an alchemist, who is in pursuit of the great secrets of the universe. You explore the curiosities of this mountain sanctum, coming face to face with the alchemist’s supernatural helpers: gnomes, sylphs, undines, and salamanders. Each of these elemental spirits gives you a piece of the puzzle in alchemical wisdom. If you’re still awake as the story comes to an end, I’ll guide you through a sleep meditation that calls on the four classical elements.

    The Fall Fairy

    In tonight’s story, as the sun sets on a glorious summer, you wake and prepare to turn the world toward a new season. You are the Fall Fairy: the bringer of crisp mornings, vibrant foliage, and waning days, taking the torch from your summery cousin and moving the Earth through a seasonal transition. You treat nature as your canvas, bringing new color to the harvest. If you’re still awake as the story comes to an end, I’ll guide you through a visualization to welcome autumn.
