Dream Gate · Dream Seed · Starry sky
An exercise in keeping a theme in mind as you fall asleep: starry sky. The sound is distant crickets and sparse, crystal glimmers up high, with a very light night pad beneath. Imagine the theme without forcing it; in the morning you can note whether it appeared in your dream. Inspired by research that used sound cues at sleep onset; the same effect should not be expected. A piece of sound design with no claim of any effect.
The same recipe with another seed: the raindrops, the order of the birds or the path of the chords change; the rules and evidence level stay the same.
