I find this to be a valuable aid for relaxation and sleep and off to sleep i went then I started having a dream and the lady in the dream had a beautiful voice and she was lovely, she led me around with such grace and persuasion I was enamoured by her and then she handed me a glass of champagne and we did like a waltz then I woke up from the dream and the audio was Song of the Open Road read by Val Roth.
