There is no plot to follow and no sense to make of anything - simply descriptions of dreamscapes to help you find your way there. Please note that some listeners may find some of the content quite dark and unsettling - more nightmare than dream. These tales are told with humility - and with respect. Any descriptive similarity to actual persons or events is unintentional and entirely coincidental. Soundscape by Alpha Jetplane Music.
