The Mysterious Market of Magic: A Magical Sleep Story for Grown Ups

The Market of Magic - Enter a world of enchantment in this magical sleep story fro grown ups. Our story begins with a mysterious letter delivered by a white raven. You are the main character on this journey, whether as a wizard or witch. So, let yourself be enchanted by this little tale and allow your imagination to run free. If you would like to hear a second part of the story, please let me know. And now I wish you a good rest and a great sleep... 😴
In this Sleepstory, a white raven comes knocking at your window, holding a parchment envelope in its beak with a seal from a powerful magical school. As you open the envelope, a list of necessary supplies for a beginner wizard and a bag of golden coins materialize in your hand. With a magical power emanating from the bag, you imagine yourself in a small secret market in an ancient city. There, you find vendors selling unusual items, such as bubbling potions and cauldrons emitting fragrant scents. Amidst the vendors and customers, you see a magnificent white horse with wings like a Pegasus. Finally, you arrive at a marketplace where an old bearded man sells the best wands in the world, impressing everyone with his stunning magic displays. Let your imagination run wild as you immerse yourself in this mystical world of magic and wonder. And yes, perhaps this sleep story was a bit inspired by Harry Potter ; ) #sleepstory #sleep #narration #harrypotter #magicstories

A woman finds out she has little dragons in her garden and they sleep in the flowers like bumble bees- story idea 💡 😴

[@Stephen_Dalton]

Great idea. Noted! And thank you for taking the time to share! Stephen :)

[@smuirhead3107]

That is such a good idea. I love it. I love cute tiny things 💛🙏🧡

[@whitedragon539]

And perhaps the dragons havw fairywings. And weave beautiful shimmering colorful and intricate patterns in between the flowers. In the grass. Between branches in the trees.

[@bking1634]

Whoa...that was nostalgic. I love this!

[@bking1634]

​@@whitedragon539 those are spiders and we don't like them

Please do a part 2! I love this story so much and listen to it every night ❤

[@suetheotherbruce759]

I didn't actually get to sleep but I feel rested and content. Immersed myself in the beautiful story. Still with me. Thank you!

[@breannabrown7471]

Loved listening to this story. I’m a single mom, work full time, and am in grad school full time for counseling. I would love to hear a story about ancient Egypt. I’ve always been fascinated by their culture. Thanks for helping this hard working momma sleep soundly at night!

[@Stephen_Dalton]

Thank you for your lovely message Breanna. I'm really happy that I can play a positive role in your sleep life. Stephen :)

[@trishcovich1923]

Look after yourself ❤

[@LoaiMommy]

As a wife, a mother of a teenager and a 6 year old and being a full time student myself I often times find myself having the hardest of time trying to fall asleep… Your stories instantly help me to relax and drift away for a few hours! Thank you and keep them coming 😂

[@DakotaDeb]

Great idea, I'd love that ,too!

[@wanderingwhimsy4800]

Check out the Egyptian sleep tale. It's one of my favorite!

[@richardthomas8838]

Never heard the rest of the story woke up to the sound of rain! This is very powerful and effective! Many thanks for your work.

[@mericawillis2338]

All I heard was the start about magic and it was lights out! You have an incredibly soothing voice

[@superbizzy12345]

My fav bedtime story source!!! 😀 Yes, please make a sequel to this one! I keep coming back to it and would love to learn what happens next on getting to the magical school

[@xiaoyuR41N]

I love all these stories and there’s so many themes! Sadly I can never remember what happens after 10 minutes as I start to pass out 😂. Which is also the point of all these videos. To sleep. 🥰 So I hope everyone that comes here will never get to the ending of these stories (with good intentions) and enjoy your sleep!

[@northernlightsentertainmen7504]

I don’t know what it is about this specific video but I listen to it almost every night and I can never make it past 10 minutes. I listen to lots of stories but this is incredible. Never fails to do the trick… part two please!!!

[@cdes1776]

I had no idea what to expect and was pleasantly surprised. Very gentle with an engaging easy-to-visualize story and the steady patter of rain. Definitely will listen to more. Thank you!

[@TheMysteryandSuspenseStories]

Listening to this story felt like a magical escape into a world of wonder. The idea of exploring a market of magic, with all its mystical items and characters, was beautifully narrated and incredibly soothing. Thank you!

[@SuperZero1215]

I love this because i always imagine being some sort of magic user in a new world. I hope you will keep doing magic based stories. Please

[@kaycwtchmahoney2940]

I revisit these listening through & letting my mind’s Eye meander . Great to listen to every time

[@AngelicaSecondLife]

It truly is a wonderfully fascinating but relaxing story, you are making such a difference to the sleepless among us ❤

[@Stephen_Dalton]

I'm so glad Angelica - doing my best 🙏🏻

[@daniladosreisskiba8841]

I always sleep in like 10 minutes of the story, I will try to listen more today ❤

[@jeannesilberstein3879]

3rd listen and I have drifted off to sleep before reaching the story’s conclusion. A success! The rain sounds are magnificent and so realistic I thought a cloudburst had hit my desert dwelling. The story selection and your voice, Stephen Dalton, are such a healing modality to ease insomnia. In appreciation I joined Patreon to support you to continue sharing your gifts with the wide world. From the west coast interior desert USA with profound appreciation and admiration.

[@luciemarinov129]

I’ve just started to listen to your very creative stories and have been able to actually sleep most of the night! I’ve been missing the beautiful illustrations because I’ve been sleeping! This morning I listened to this because I wanted to hear the whole story and so I did and saw your very beautiful illustrations as well! Your voice is very soothing and very clear and articulate with very effective wording! I used to write poetry and have been published in the International Book of poetry a few times so I have a deep appreciation of ur very rare skills. The sound refuse so very appropriate and healing for sleep, which I very much need. I previously wrote my daughter recently passed and I have a grandson to raise alone and an ex husband to help as well, so the stress is much relieved by your amazing stories and voice! Gratefully yours from California, best wishes to your adorable dog that I saw on one of your shorts from magical Transylvania in Romania! ❤

[@ephraimmelmer7152]

I'm impressed by the fact you read every comment and take suggestions. I wish you success in your endeavors!

[@Stephen_Dalton]

Thanks Ephraim, nice that you notice 😊🙏🏻

[@thomasettorre1197]

Very good work Stephen !!! Could you make a "flying with the stars" meditation ? Like you slowly leave your body and start a journey through the stars and galaxies? Thank you so much for the work you make Very good channel Lots of gratitude ❤ Thomas

I’m going to have to listen to this again tonight as last night I hardly got past receiving the letter and reaching the magic village before I fell asleep 😴 love this voice!

[@tinagauthier9607]

funny I think it is we are so tired and weathered , and when we rest we fall

[@angelicamarie5410]

This reminds me of Harry Potter went shopping for his wand. Such a nostalgic scene🫶

[@Raina430]

Best bedtime story ever! Or as great as a deep relaxation/hypnosis story. I’ve heard it may be 30 or 40 times so far. Thank you so much. ❤

[@pixiehownot1287]

Ps, I actually wanted to thank you....I listen every nite now xxxx

[@Geminixx-wo5ib]

Dear Stephen, I would like to thank you for so many lovely stories. I love to listen to them when I go to bed, must confess, though, that I don't know how most of your stories end since I fall asleep during your story-telling. 😊 I am a native German who loves the english language and I use your stories to improve my language skills. Thank you so very much for your effort! Much appreciated.

[@krystalwaine4175]

Hiya - love your stories. Could you do a narnia themed one, going through a wardrobe into a world of winter - and finding a magical way to bring about spring. That would be amazing!

[@Stephen_Dalton]

Noted Krystal thank you 🙏🏻

[@Liss484]

What a wonderful reading voice to fall asleep to! Thanks so much for your comforting, wonderful stories🙏🌻I would love some stories based around the Irish countryside or about dogs and farm animals!

[@Justkari530]

This is now my favorite sleep story video! I absolutely love sound effects with no music and the rain sounds after that go on for at least an hour. More videos with sound effects and that also have an hour or more of nature sounds after with no music would be amazing as most have music in them. Also these fantasy stories with relaxation techniques before the story are amazing!

[@Stephen_Dalton]

That's great to hear, thanks for the lovely feedback. There will be more videos like this. Look out for the Safari video which will be released very soon. It ends with just nature sounds. Thanks again! Stephen :)

[@tamarajackson6833]

I agree. No music.

[@miraclehands9040]

I really enjoy this one w/ the sound effects. I don't know if it would be enough content for a whole video but I would like to see it maybe incorporated onto a video, the old children's' activity of seeking out, collecting and pressing big and varied fall colored leaves between wax paper and placed between the pages of big heavy books. Then removing them after some time, admiring the tiny details: the way the veins, lines & texture suddenly are revealed amazingly and turn them into delicate, flat, beautiful forms. A nostalgic fallback of slower simpler and wholesome times. 🤎🍁🍃🍂

Evening falling in a barn, in winter, leaning back on a bale of hay, doing breathing exercises, listening to my sheep as they talk quietly to their lambs, while bedding down for the night. The chickens clucking softly to their chicks and gathering them up, under their wings. The cats crunching the hay while hunting and my dogs curled at my feet after putting the sheep up. That's how I spend winter evenings and might make a good story.
