0:00 Most dreams last only five to twenty minutes.0:04 That’s just long enough for a wonderful adventure, like the one our friend Lumi had on the city rooftops as the sun was waking up.0:17 Tonight, we’ll meet another little bit of magic, from a time just before the dreams begin.0:26 High above the sleeping world, there is a place called the Dream Cloud.0:33 It’s as soft as spun moonlight and as warm as fresh bread.0:39 And it is filled with tiny, shimmering sparks.0:43 Each spark is a little dream, waiting for its dreamer.0:48 One of the very smallest, most curious sparks was named Lumina.0:55 She was no bigger than a firefly’s glow.0:59 Lumina loved to dance at the very edge of the cloud, watching the quiet world below.1:07 One night, she saw a single, silvery thread drift down from the cloud, glowing faintly.1:16 Where did it GO?1:17 she wondered.1:18 She just had to know.1:21 So she took a tiny breath, held on tight to that thread, and began to float down… down… down.1:30 The air was quiet and still.1:33 She drifted past the moon and the sleepy stars.1:37 The thread led her right to a window, and through the glass, into a cozy room.1:45 There, in a little bed, a child was sleeping.1:49 The child’s brow was furrowed, just a little, as if they were trying to solve a puzzle in their sleep.1:59 Lumina floated closer, as light as a dandelion seed.2:05 She peeked into the child’s mind, which is a thing a little dream can do.2:12 Inside, the child was trying to build a magnificent tower of blocks.2:19 But every time the tower got high, it would wobble… and teeter… and then CRASH down.2:27 Oh, dear.2:28 In the dream, the child’s shoulders slumped.2:32 Lumina knew just what to do.2:35 She couldn't build the tower for the child.2:39 That wouldn't be right.2:42 But she could add a little bit of dream-dust.2:46 So she swirled around the tumbling blocks in the dream.2:51 She hummed a tiny, sparkly song of balance and strength.2:57 She didn't make the blocks stick together.3:01 Instead, she made the child's hands in the dream feel EXTRA steady.3:08 She made the idea of a strong foundation feel warm and happy.3:14 And in the dream, the child tried again.3:18 One block.3:19 Then another.3:20 The tower grew, steady and true this time.3:24 It grew taller than before, right up to the dream-sky.3:30 A happy little sigh escaped the sleeping child.3:34 The worried look on their face melted away, replaced by a soft, peaceful smile.3:42 Lumina felt a gentle tug on her silvery thread.3:47 Her work was done.3:48 She floated back out the window, up past the sleepy stars, and all the way back to the warm, soft Dream Cloud.3:59 She snuggled back into her place, glowing just a little bit brighter than before.4:07 And down in the cozy room, the child slept on, dreaming of the most wonderful, sturdy tower they had EVER built.
