Becoming The Magician's Apprentice (Meditative Bedtime Story)

This is a bedtime story for grown ups about you walking through a meadow with your terrier dog. You see that a storm is approaching, so you find shelter in the cabin of an old magician. You learn more about this magician before heading to bed. The next day, they send you on your way with a package of food and drink. Later in the day, when you settle down by a river to eat some of the food, you discover a small magic book in the package.

You start reading that book and cast a spell which allows you to see the magical layer of reality. You talk with a fairy named Newt, who teaches you about the experience you are having, before the next day, continuing on your journey. You head think you see a crocodile in the river but it turns out to be a dragon. They share how if you get a specific ring, then this can give you lasting magical abilities, the whole time you are wearing the ring. They share how to create a portal to go in search of that ring. You find the ring and are invited to join the magician's secret society. You head home, knowing you are at a crossroads and have a big decision to make.

Once home, you settle down comfortably and drift asleep into Slumberland.
