This is a bedtime story for grown ups about you wandering through a cold and misty wood. You hear a curious bird song and begin to journey towards that song. As you do, so your body disperses into the ether with the mist, leaving you travelling through the woods as a consciousness. You find a yellow bird who creates a portal to another realm using the power of dance and music. In that new realm as a consciousness, you fly over a meadow before descending into the depths of an ocean, where you encounter a psychedelic octopus, who turns out to be called Max Headroom. You see what looks like a ghost town, you swim into that ghost town, only to discover it is Victorian London. Max Headroom turns into a person wearing a tuxedo and tells you to see one of the market sellers. You visit a potato selling alien, who concocts a liquid which allows your consciousness to settle into a mole-rat so that you can eat a blue cupcake with black rose petals, which expands your consciousness, as you drift back from the mole-rat and connect with the cosmic web. You then head back to the octopus, back to the ocean, back to the meadow and back through the portal to the yellow bird. You settle by a tree and experience you mind and body reconnecting before leaving the woodland, following a stream to its source where you find a spring. You drink from the spring and settle down by the stream, drifting into a reverie. As nighttime sets in, you set up a hammock in the trees, settle down in the hammock and drift peacefully asleep into Slumberland.
