Stepping into an Old Photograph: A Magical Sleep Story Guided Tour of Victorian Dublin

[@msheidi5190]

I don't know if I fall asleep more quickly but I find your voice and your lovely stories very soothing. Thank-you.

[@lisajacox6633]

I fall asleep so fast 😴

[@leslimiller4067]

Thanks Stephen as always, excited to hear this new story. My idea for a story is a trip down a small river in a canoe. Camping overnight, then coffee breakfast and back in canoe for the rest of the trip to where you are getting out. We have been doing this for over 22yrs and its the PERFECT weekend relaxing thing to do!! You could have some water sounds, animals sounds in woods as you float down river. Tent, fire cooking and wood sounds. Skipping rocks sounds. THIS would make the BEST sleep story!! Especially with you telling the story!!🥰🤍🌸

[@pennylane5432]

Great idea!

[@sheryllorenz830]

Yes lovely. I love being out in nature so an outdoor Adventure would be wonderful. Better throw a waterfall in there - maybe a secret magical world behind the waterfall 🤔

[@mariebrice3890]

What a fantastic idea! Victoriana Dublin. Thank you 🎉

[@luciemarinov129]

Love the time travel story and the picture of Dublin , where u were born! Timmy is so precious! Thank u for granting me the sleep desperately needed! Love the prelude of safety , kindness and healing and letting go of the past like leaves on the river! Thanks from California ❤

I've never been to Ireland before (sadly!) but recently I developed a small "obsession" with it, after watching "p.s. i love you" and "irish wish" on netflix. Now I've watched maaany ireland documentaries and listened to old irish Songs. And now my FAVORITE sleep Story Teller (who happens to be irish) comes back with an amazing Story about dublin! I love this so much, thank you! It would be amazing if there were even more ireland Stories. Maybe a sleepy pub? Or something about the cliffs of moher :) Good night everyone❤

[@aleighahartsfield]

P.S. I love you did it for me too!! That is my all time favorite movie.

[@thewalkingjed4893]

Hey Stephen, big fan of your videos! We would love to hear a bedtime story about 2 Orange Cats who go on a cozy adventure in the forest! 🐈 🐈!

[@SidelineLegends]

I want you to know you have changed my brain into a peaceful place at night as opposed to the fight I use to have trying to shut things off. I am a Cancer patient entering my 4th year of treatment. I struggle with shutting out the doubt, and focusing on the positive. You help me fall asleep, and when those 3am worries wake me. I take myself back to your sleep story and tell the doubt to move along. LOL If you ever wonder who's listening. It's so many of us that you've created a safe place. Thank you!

[@jlawhead36]

Sending you prayers of healing from the top of your head to the tips of your toes. May the healing light wash over you and bring you peace.

[@Serendipity.Nicole]

I will also put you in my prayers right now for strength, healing and the power to shut off your brain in times of turmoil. Praying for you @SidelineLegends

[@susanwells5857]

I also am sending you all the Love and healing you need in this moment. Be at peace and sleep well. You are not alone ❤

[@revmaryphillipsbackshear852]

I agree. PTSD My cou 0:31 sin was listening to me vent about my lack of sleep stopped me sending me your lin6. That first-time time I turned off the TV and set my phone laid down. I don't know the end and I don't care. I love your gift 🎁 of sleep. ❤

[@Aquietlyfrugallife]

Sending you prayers ♥️

[@s9s2754]

Stephen, I love these stories. Your voice is so soothing.

[@ricebeansrockroll882]

This is one of my new favourites.

[@synergydpm]

Ninth-eight percent of the time I am asleep before you get to the story part. Thank you!

[@janebridle1657]

Thats lovely.My maternal great,great grandparents were from Dublin.Many thanks from across the water.

[@susanbaker8023]

I forgot to comment yesterday on this story. I loved it, I love history and your story was great. Stephen you are so talented. Thanks for sharing it with all of us. Stay safe. GiveTimmy a pat for me.

[@brynapizzo]

Thank you for the walk through the photograph. The chat with famous Irish poets and hearing your reading of their poems was lovely. It was immensely wonderful. I love those poems. Poetry is meant to be heard. I am ever so grateful to have heard you give a reading of so many poems.🙏 ❤ Thank you, Stephen. Love and blessings to you and your family and team.❤

[@ShelleyBrooks-q1w]

OMG, this is one of my favorites!!! Please interpret more old pictures. What a wonderfully told story. I really felt like I was there. Thank you! 🎉

[@tokendiva]

I can’t wait to hear this story

[@kingdenali6293]

Hello Stephen! I listen everyday multiple times a day and it is my opinion that this is THE BEST relaxation session you've done. I come back to it whenever I'm anxious or I need to meditate. If you could possibly do this for more videos I would greatly appreciate it 🎉cheers

[@shastawolf9212]

Listening now with my chammomile tea. My husband and I love your stories for falling asleep. We’ve been to Dublin, it’s a lovely city. Thank you.

[@EstelleWright-m5n]

Thank you. Twice this night I fell asleep at the beginning then got to listen to whole story that brought me back in time so peacefuly. Loved the crackling fire and music too ❤ 🙏🏻

[@angie1243]

Hello Stephen, i managed to listen to the whole story last night. Your reading of the poem by Oscar Wilde's mother, Jane, made me weep. Beautiful. Thank you from Mountains of Mourne Angela. xx

[@Stephen_Dalton]

Hi Angela I’m happy you appreciated that. I feel that too often, the role of women in literature is overlooked so I intentionally included her. She was by all accounts, a fascinating woman. Give my love to Slieve Donard, one of the great loves of my life 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️

[@angie1243]

@@Stephen_Dalton You're right, Stephen. As much as I love Wilde (and I do!), I would have loved to have spent time in Speranza's salon. That would be my kind of day. Thank you for acknowledging the female contribution. I also loved Shaw's poem, too. What is it about the Irish? I'm Tyneside- Irish, with many a happy summer spent in rural Ireland. Both cultures are rich with the beauty and power of language, so I thank you once again for your stories. Slàinte! xx

[@Gam3rcat02]

I'm so excited for this one! Thank you so much Stephen ❤️

[@shantil7759]

Hello from NZ /Aotearoa, Stephen I love your low slow gentle deep raspy voice - perfect for falling asleep with, & your ideas are so creative ❣️ I love the thought of stepping into that old photo of Dublin! My only complaint is.... I'm very likely going to already be asleep before we even enter the picture ❣️ Which in essence is success - I realise that, but the story sounds so interesting simply by having listened to your description! Thank you so much for talking me to sleep. And just one more thing.... I absolutely love stories with rain sounds 💕

[@basia792]

As usually a wounderful story which I need to listen again to know what happend next from the moment I dont remember any more because I just drifted off to sleep... Thank you Stephen, I love listning to your stories every night.

[@terrytucker7464]

Dear Stephen, I am so thankful for all of your lovely bedtime stories. I love the stories with Hope. I'm a mental health therapist and recommend your stories to my clients as a part of a calming bed time routine. I have a favor to ask. My 60th birthday is May 16. How is this possible?! I'm 26 in my mind! Would you consider telling a story about sunflowers and golden ratio healing? Perhaps Hope could be included? Sunflowers lean towards the light. In the absence of light, they lean into each other. 🌻🌻 Golden ratio is evident in sunflowers, sea shells, plants, etc. I would be so honored ( and happy) if you would consider making and telling such a story. Thank you for the light you bring to us. 🌞✨

[@ashleypresley]

I know golden ratio by Euclid, but could you explain what you mean here is it the same? ❤

[@terrytucker7464]

@@ashleypresley The Golden Ratio, also known as the Fibonacci sequence, is a powerful tool that can used for healing and transformation. It is said to connect us to harmony and Universal flow. It is represented as ' phi' or 1. 618. The best definition I have seen is" The Golden Ratio can be seen as a reflection of the interconnectedness of all things." Sunflowers, pineapples, nautilis shells, peacock feathers, DNA double helix are all examples of sacred geometry and the Golden ratio. There is so much more! I hope this gives you some ideas of what I was referring to ✨❤️

[@brendaschisel7984]

What a great visit to Dublin Thank you..

[@lorraineschuett7116]

Very interesting. I am ready enjoying this.

[@dhall7570]

I really enjoyed this story, and look forward to more guided tour type stories! Loved Oscar Wilde's Mother's poem Destiny. Beautiful and a little sad.

I’m 78 , retired, trying to raise my sick grandson and help my older ex husband, so life brings struggles still! In appreciation from California ❤❤❤
