The Day the Colours Got Mixed Up, Night 28 | A Sleep Story for an Overthinking Mind

from The Settle Sleep Stories

A calm bedtime story for when you cannot stop overthinking at night, about a morning where the sand is the colour of the sea and the sea is the colour of sand. A young spirit has dropped her vials and the colours have tangled. Prince Freddie helps her put them back one by one, the white walls, the lavender garden, the lighthouse with its red band. Then they reach the sea, which is blue, and green when the wind comes from the west, and silver at dawn, and will not agree to be one colour. A gentle story about the things that are not supposed to be fixed.Prince Freddie is a small dog in a flat gold crown who lives in a sleepy village on the Spanish coast, where the days are warm, the sea is always close, and nothing is ever in a hurry. These are unhurried sleep stories, written to quiet an anxious mind and soften the end of the day. You are not meant to reach the end.No ads, ever. How to listen: lie down, dim the light, and let the words do the walking. If you drift off before the last line, the story has done its job.Follow Prince Freddie Sleep Stories for a new story to fall asleep to.
