Speaker 4: dreams pray. Perfect for story time. So what are we

20
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 4: waiting for? Let's dive in Doug's Dreams, Part one.

21
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 5: Doug's Dreams. How many of you are dreamers? How many

22
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 5: of you are afraid of your dreams? And how many

23
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 5: of you can't wait to jump into bed just to

24
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 5: start dreaming again. Well, this story is about Doug Deeter.

25
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 5: Doug loved to dream. He couldn't wait to pull up

26
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 5: the covers, close his eye, and dive into the wild, wacky,

27
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 5: and wonderful worlds waiting for him in his sleep. But

28
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 5: it wasn't always like this. Just a few years ago,

29
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 5: Doug hated bedtime. He'd stall, protest, push his limits. He

30
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 5: was always the last one to bed and often the

31
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 5: first one awake. His parents couldn't figure it out. Why

32
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,679
Speaker 5: was Doug always dragging his feet at night but then

33
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 5: falling asleep during the day, Even at age ten, They

34
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 5: caught him more than once under the covers with a

35
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 5: flashlight in a book because screen time after five pm

36
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 5: was absolutely forbidden. Something seemed off.

37
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: Honey, Are you sure there's nothing wrong. You just seem

38
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: like you're having trouble sleeping lately.

39
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,959
Speaker 5: Nope, everything's great. Sometimes I'm just so excited for the

40
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 5: next day that I have a hard time falling asleep. Well,

41
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 5: you know, if you got better sleep, you'd actually enjoy

42
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 5: all the excitement even more. You'd be the best version

43
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 5: of you, ready for anything the day throws at you. Hmm, thanks, dad,

44
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 5: that makes sense. Doug's mom and dad didn't know what

45
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 5: else to do except love him. Through whatever this no

46
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 5: sleep phase was. He seemed happy and full of energy,

47
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,799
Speaker 5: but his body was telling a different story. Dark circles

48
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,679
Speaker 5: had settled under his eyes. He started forgetting homework assignments,

49
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 5: losing his train of thought mid sentence, and even blanking

50
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 5: on simple words. It was clear the lack of sleep

51
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 5: was starting to effect more than just his energy. It

52
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 5: was taking a toll on his brain. One afternoon at

53
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 5: football practice, Doug was tossing the ball around with his

54
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 5: best friend Nick when the topic came up, so think

55
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 5: we could beat the Tigers this weekend? Doug looked at

56
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 5: Nick with a concerned look. That's this weekend? Are you

57
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 5: kidding me, dude? When Nick saw he wasn't kidding, he said, Doug,

58
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 5: what's going on with you lately? You look tired all

59
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 5: the time and you're always forgetting things. Are you all right?

60
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,359
Speaker 5: Doug was tired of pretending everything was okay when it wasn't.

61
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 5: It was exhausting always having to come up with a

62
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 5: fib when people asked if he was all right, And besides,

63
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 5: Nick was his best friend, he could tell him anything.

64
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 5: I just haven't been sleeping much lately, well, for like

65
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 5: a few months. How are you not sleeping after all

66
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 5: these brutal practices in the sun. Well, it's gonna sound

67
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 5: really dumb, but I had this awful dream a few

68
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 5: months ago and it felt so real I've been scared

69
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 5: to go back to sleep ever since. Why is that dumb?

70
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,840
Speaker 5: Every kid our age has had tons of terrible dreams

71
00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 5: by now. I had one last night. Actually, whoa. Nick

72
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 5: shudders at the memory of his own dream. But you

73
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 5: know what I do. I lie in bed and do

74
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 5: this breathing thing my dad taught me. He's a scuba diver.

75
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 5: And after that, think of something super awesome I'd want

76
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 5: to do, like swimming with dolphins in the open ocean. Ooh,

77
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 5: one time, I imagine flying through the clouds with Zeus

78
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,479
Speaker 5: and then we started playing guitar in a rock band

79
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 5: and that became my dream. You should totally try it out. Whoa,

80
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 5: that's amazing. What's the breathing thing? Oh, it's simple. You

81
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 5: breathe in for account of four, then exhale super slowly

82
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,479
Speaker 5: for a count of eight. Just keep repeating that. The

83
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 5: counting helps keep my mind from spinning. I just focus

84
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 5: on how the air feels coming in and out, and

85
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:54,279
Speaker 5: then you end up jamming with Zeus. Well not every night.

86
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 5: That Zeu's thing was just one dream. Most nights, I

87
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,359
Speaker 5: just picked the coolest thing I saw that day. Like

88
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 5: one time I saw someone doing a trick on a

89
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 5: jet ski, so that night I imagined I was on

90
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 5: a jet ski. In my dream, I became a pro

91
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 5: jet skier, doing flips and winning medals and stuff. Man,

92
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 5: so jealous. Sounds like all your dreams are awesome. Not

93
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 5: all of them. One time I was skateboarding and doing

94
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,799
Speaker 5: tricks when this huge, scary guy with really rotten teeth

95
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 5: started chasing me. I couldn't kick fast enough, and just

96
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 5: when he was about to grab me, bam, I woke up. Yeah,

97
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:37,359
Speaker 5: that happens to me all the time. Oh, and don't

98
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:42,359
Speaker 5: eat sugar before bed? Why not? I always have a

99
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 5: snack before bed. Don't do it, Doug. I'm telling you,

100
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 5: every time I eat sugar before bed, I have crazy dreams,

101
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 5: like really weird ones. He eat a pear or some

102
00:06:55,600 --> 00:07:01,279
Speaker 5: berries or a banana or something. Trust me. Oh okay, Anyway,

103
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 5: I think you're so focused on not having scary dreams

104
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 5: that it turns into a self fulfilling prophecy. What's a

105
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 5: self fulfilling prophecy. Oh, so my dad explained it to me.

106
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 5: It's pretty simple. Whatever you think will happen is more

107
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 5: likely to actually happen. Like if I'm going out for

108
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 5: a pass in football and I keep saying, ah, I'm

109
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 5: gonna drop it, I'm gonna drop it, then I probably

110
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 5: will drop it. I've psyched myself out. But if I

111
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 5: don't think about it, or even better, I say I'm

112
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 5: gonna catch this and actually believe it, then I'm way

113
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 5: more likely to catch it. So I can't just say

114
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 5: I'll have good dreams. I have to actually believe it. Yep,

115
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 5: that's the trick. You gotta mean it. You already believe

116
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 5: you'll have bad dreams, right, so your brain just runs

117
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 5: with it. But saying out loud what you want helps

118
00:07:55,240 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 5: you start believing it. Huh Okay. So if I believe

119
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 5: I'm gonna have a good dream, I probably will. But

120
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 5: if I just say it and don't believe it, then

121
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 5: I'm still stuck bingo, self fulfilling prophecy, Man, how do

122
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 5: you know all this? Honestly, my parents I used to

123
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 5: think they didn't know anything, but then my uncle told

124
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 5: me they used to be our age which totally blew

125
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 5: my mind. So I started asking them stuff. Now we

126
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 5: talk about everything. Turns out parents are actually pretty smart. Huh,

127
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 5: never thought of it like that. Yep, Look, you've got

128
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 5: the power. A lot of pro athletes imagine themselves winning

129
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 5: the game before they even step onto the field. But hey,

130
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 5: sometimes you don't win or you get a weird result.

131
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 5: That's okay, it just happens. Doesn't mean you stop trying.

132
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:04,119
Speaker 5: Just keep thinking the best water breaks over. Back to drills.

133
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 5: All right, game faced eater, let's go. Nick and Doug

134
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 5: run out to the field. Later that night, at dinner,

135
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 5: Doug is scarfing down his chicken and cauliflower when his

136
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 5: dad asks, so, how's football going? You ready for the Tigers? Oh? Man,

137
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 5: I totally forgot about the Tigers game this weekend until

138
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 5: Nick told me you forgot about the Tigers game? Yeah silly,

139
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 5: I know. Well, actually, I uh just haven't been sleeping

140
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 5: well lately. Oh no, tell us more. Well, I think

141
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 5: it was like in March, I had this really awful

142
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 5: dream and it really scared me, and since then I

143
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,439
Speaker 5: just get really scared before going to bed.

144
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 1: Why didn't you tell us, honey?

145
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 5: I just thought you guys would think I was being

146
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 5: a scaredy cat. I'm a scaredy cat. Sometimes. Your mom

147
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 5: had to kill a spider for me. The other night

148
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 5: it was hanging on our ceiling, right above my side

149
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 5: of the bed. Doug laughs. You gotta tell us, Bud.

150
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 1: If you don't, we can't help you through it.

151
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 5: Well, I wanted to try to be tough so you

152
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 5: guys would be proud of me. Being tough isn't what

153
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 5: makes us proud of you. Being the great human with

154
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 5: a great heart is why we're always proud of you, Doug.

155
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:37,559
Speaker 5: So how can we help? Well, Nick gave me some

156
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 5: really good advice. Oh yeah, he taught me a breathing technique.

157
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 5: And then imagine myself doing something totally cool and it

158
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:50,679
Speaker 5: will turn into a dream. Well, your mom's the expert

159
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 5: in breathing, but I can tell you from experience. Then

160
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 5: when I go to bed thinking about how to fix

161
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 5: my old nineteen seventy one barracuda, I usually end up

162
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 5: fixing it in my so great advice to think about

163
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 5: cool things before bed.

164
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 4: Breathing exercises are amazing. They help calm your nerves, curb anxiety.

165
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 4: They can even help a digestion.

166
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 5: Really, how can breathing help you digest food?

167
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: Oh, it's miraculous.

168
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 4: Next time you have an upset tummy, try sitting or

169
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 4: laying in a comfy position and breathing deep, slow inhales,

170
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 4: then slowly exhaling. Breath work is all about imagining the

171
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 4: oxygen that you breathe in is healing your body. It

172
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 4: can help with so many difficulties.

173
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 5: Wow, that's really cool.

174
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: So do you feel more confident about getting some sleep tonight.

175
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 5: I'm a little nervous, but excited to try this new technique.

176
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 5: I think I'm gonna try it too.

177
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 1: I've been practicing breathwork before bed ever since I had you.

178
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 5: That night, Doug's mom and dad tucked him into bed,

179
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 5: and his dad opened up Doug's favorite book series, the

180
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 5: one about young wizards who could fly into the night,

181
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 5: cast spells and conquer monsters. Doug's eyes lit up. He

182
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 5: hung on every word like he was hearing it for

183
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 5: the very first time, And when his dad finished the chapter,

184
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 5: kissed him good night and quietly closed the door, Doug

185
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 5: sat straight up in bed. Doug, the answer was there

186
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 5: all along. His dad had been reading his book series

187
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 5: every night, and every night Doug wished he could be

188
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 5: in the story. He wanted so badly to be a

189
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 5: wizard with powers, but somehow, when his dad turned off

190
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 5: the light and left the room, the magic would fade.

191
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 5: That's when his monstrous imagination took over. Kids, you can

192
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 5: use this trick to every one of you has a

193
00:12:55,240 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 5: magical imagination and a monstrous imagination. And if the monstrous

194
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 5: imagination starts creeping in at the wrong time, just say,

195
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 5: monstrous imagination, get behind me. It's magical imagination's turn. And

196
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 5: that's exactly what Doug did that night. He lay in

197
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 5: bed and started breathing deeply, just like Nick taught him. Inhale,

198
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 5: exhale again and again, and to his chest felt light

199
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 5: and floaty. He smiled, and then he began to imagine

200
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 5: what would I do if I were a wizard. He

201
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:41,079
Speaker 5: pictured himself holding a wand just as the dream began

202
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 5: to take shape, boom, that same scary monster from before

203
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 5: came crashing into his thoughts. Doug couldn't stop picturing its

204
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 5: awful teeth, its bulging eyes, how real it all felt.

205
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 5: But instead of trying to block it out, Doug did

206
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 5: something new. He added to the story this time he

207
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 5: was the powerful wizard. He gripped his wand tight and

208
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 5: pointed it at the monster. The monster flew off the ground,

209
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 5: it slammed back down. Doug waved his wand side to side,

210
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 5: and the monster started shaking in mid air, moaning and

211
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 5: begging him to stopoo e stop. And with one final

212
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 5: whip of the wand, the monster shot up into the

213
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 5: sky and disappeared into the stars. Doug let out a

214
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 5: deep sigh. Oh that was way easier than I expected,

215
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 5: he thought, smiling. Then he spotted it leaning against the wall.

216
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 5: The broom. Not just any broom, the broom from the book.

217
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 5: Doug knew it could fly. He jumped on and shot

218
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 5: into the night sky, soaring through the clouds and streaks

219
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 5: of stars. He took huge dips like a rollercoaster, then

220
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 5: zoom straight up, laughing. Kids, Doug doesn't even know it yet,

221
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 5: but he's already asleep and dreaming. That's how fast it happens.

222
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 5: One moment you're thinking your thoughts, and the next boom,

223
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 5: you're in a dream. Up, Up, Up. He flew wind

224
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 5: in his hair, stars in his fingertips, when suddenly a

225
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 5: few familiar faces joined him in the sky friends from school,

226
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 5: characters from the book, and one in particular, duck It,

227
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 5: the adventurous boy from his dad's bedtime stories. They were

228
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 5: soaring above a giant, fluffy cloud when Duckett turned towards

229
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 5: Doug and shouted over here. Doug turned towards the sound

230
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 5: and spotted duck Itt zipping downward, pointing below the clouds.

231
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 5: As Doug followed, the mist began to glow, first gold,

232
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 5: then pink, then green, until the fog itself seemed to

233
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 5: pulse with color. Music drifted up through the haze, tinkling tunes,

234
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 5: deep drum rolls, whistles, and the distant roar of something animal.

235
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 5: As they broke through the cloud layer, Dug gasped. Below

236
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 5: them sprawled a carnival, huge, colorful and buzzing with life.

237
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 5: A massive ferris wheel lit up the sky like a

238
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 5: moon made of moving color. Roller coasters looped and twisted

239
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 5: through the air, with riders screaming joyfully. There were tents

240
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 5: and every color red, gold, midnight blue, and they looked

241
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 5: like they had been stitched together from pieces of starlight

242
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 5: and old circus posters. They landed in a grassy field

243
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 5: just outside the entrance, where A large sign arched over

244
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 5: the gate. It was made of glowing letters that shifted

245
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 5: color slowly. The stardust carnival and the lights sparkled like

246
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 5: some and It's hidden fireworks inside the balls. Standing at

247
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 5: the front was a tall man with a striped hat

248
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 5: maybe two feet high, and a sharp blue coat with

249
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:15,120
Speaker 5: silver buttons. His pants were just as bold, and his shoes, well,

250
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 5: they were shiny enough to reflect the ferris wheel behind him.

251
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 5: His voice had a showman's boom to it, like he

252
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:26,440
Speaker 5: could be heard across the entire park. Well, come, well, come, welcome.

253
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 5: You've arrived at the most incredible carnival your dreams could

254
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 5: ever imagine. Games of skill, rides of Wanda, prize is

255
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 5: beyond your belief. Come one, come all. He looked right

256
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 5: at Doug and winked, and especially you, Doug. We've been

257
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:45,560

260
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,360
