Episode 1: Sleep Story: English Garden
Original story by Anureet
A soothing walk through an English Garden. Fictitious, as I’m not a gardener, so the plants I feature grow all year round :-).

Episode 2: A Dream Within a Dream
A reading of A Dream Within a Dream by Edgar Allan Poe
Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow —
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.
I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand —
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep — while I weep!
O God! Can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?

Episode 3: Poetry ASMR Color, Christina Rossetti
A reading of Color, Christina Rossetti
What is pink? a rose is pink
By a fountain’s brink.
What is red? a poppy’s red
In its barley bed.
What is blue? the sky is blue
Where the clouds float thro’.
What is white? a swan is white
Sailing in the light.
What is yellow? pears are yellow,
Rich and ripe and mellow.
What is green? the grass is green,
With small flowers between.
What is violet? clouds are violet
In the summer twilight.
What is orange? Why, an orange,
Just an orange!

Episode 4: Melancholy Wrapped in a Candy Wrapper
Original Poem by Anureet
the charcoal slate blue resting state of a melancholic existence
that is absolutely fine
because there is a spectrum we all exist within
but it is a narrative not often told
as
they
just
want
you
to have a Pollyanna-esque
existence existing
in a pink & sparkly glow
but you don’t want that
& you are not that,
so you try not to be like that
so you embrace who you are
just as you are & the glow is energy that is appealing & you stay for the comfort

Episode 5: Sugary ASMR Poem
Original Poem by Anureet
Drifting into a melodious marshmallow-like lightness in a sugary sweet cherry dream-like lullaby. Caramel clouds of calming calm like a cappuccino of fluffy cream coolness. Vanilla bakery sugary scents sinking like molasses into a dreamy dreamlike state. Lemony sugar drizzle sharp then soft and soothing wrapping like a blanket of biscuits.
