About this listen
The Sand Dunes of Samarkand
A meditative journey through desert night and golden silence.
Under the moon’s silver gaze, a lone traveller walks away from the last campfire’s glow and into an ocean of dunes. Each step brings encounters with quiet wonders: a phantom camp scented with cedar and rose water; floating lantern-flames that breathe jasmine, bread, and sandalwood; a still pool that reflects long-forgotten kindness; calligraphy written in shifting sand; a tapestry moving in the wind, revealing connections between all wanderers; and, beyond the ridges, the sleeping city of Samarkand — perfect, imagined, eternal.
This is not a tale of urgency or conquest, but of slowing down until the heart matches the rhythm of sand and starlight. The desert offers no destination, only presence. Its gifts are stillness, memory, and the gentle recognition that the journey and the arrival are the same.
Part of the Before Your Dream series, The Sand Dunes of Samarkand is a poetic sleep story for adults — a slow, lyrical piece designed for bedtime listening, where every scene invites rest, and every breath carries you deeper into peace.
