That is annoying! Obviously I have the ads turned off in my ad settings for the video, so you shouldn't get any ads in the middle, but UA-cam says they can overrule this if they think more money can be made for them if ads show (ad revenue made on ads the creator didn't authorise apparently doesn't get passed on to the creator, UA-cam keeps it all).

Like most creators, I include a brief relaxation section before the story, however, also like most creators I include timestamps, so that those who don't really have sleep problems and so don't feel they need a relaxation process to help calm their mind and body for sleep can skip straight to the story and just start the video there. Unlike most creators I used to always incorporate my relaxation process naturally into the story and would have it normally about 20 minutes in, because as a therapist that is what I would do, I would engage the client in the story and transition into the relaxation process during the therapeutic story. That got very few complaints, however it would mean that everyone had to have the relaxation process because you couldn't realistically skip it if you were trying to sleep. So I decided to do what all the other sleep stories channels do and move it to the beginning so that if you don't feel that you need the relaxation process you can skip it and just listen to the story.

Thank you...

You can allow yourself to be uncomfortable if you prefer. It is entirely up to you what you allow yourself to do, but generally people find it better to allow themselves to get comfortable. It is all about you being in control of your own experience...

It makes it very clear in the title that this specific compilation is storytelling and rain. Obviously if I you don't want to listen to compilations with rain you can choose to listen to ones without rain instead of choosing to find something you know you don't like and don't want to listen to and clicking on it to leave negative comments about its existence. That would be like me clicking on a music reaction channels video reacting to an artist I dislike and complaining at them for reacting to something I don't like, as if I am so entitled that people should only do what I like and not things others like, rather than just scrolling past the videos which don't interest me to focus on the ones that hopefully do. That kind of entitled behaviour doesn't make any sense to me? I have All Night Sleep Stories compilations without rain, in fact until last year that was pretty much all I did, but for whatever reason people's tastes have changed and people seem to only want content with rain sounds, so that is why it has rain, because views when rain is included are significantly higher than when rain isn't included, so after testing both here for a while I decided to stick with what got the most views, as this is a business. I still post all of my content rain and SFX free on all streaming and downloads services (Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, SoundCloud etc) and on other apps like Insight Timer, and have a playlist of my content without rain sounds here on this channel, and for a year or so, to please those who wanted voice-only, including voice-only compilations I set up a dedicated channel for voice-only content, however, very few people were interested in the voice-only content and compilations nowadays, so after a year or so I stopped posting the content to that channel.

I no longer update this playlist but here is a playlist of stories featuring dogs including dog and people together: ua-cam.com/play/PLp0cU22E4NrJlxNEftmVwNBCFIx3jfQ-T.html What I upload are sleep stories with rain that continue on for a couple of hours after the story, but I have a playlist with the voice only audio versions that don't have any background sounds and these are what UA-cam Music allows on to the platform and are shared as I release albums of my stories to streaming and downloads services (like Spotify, Apple Music, UA-cam Music, Amazon etc). I release an album roughly every 3-4 months and then it takes a month or so for the album to be accepted and feed in to streaming and downloads services and with UA-cam Music, twice out of all the albums they haven't accepted the albums, so it can take up to 5 months or so for the voice only versions of the stories to be available on UA-cam. Obviously they are available on Patreon as early access before the rain versions are shared to UA-cam and on Insight Timer about a month after they are on UA-cam. UA-cam is the only place I share rain versions, every other platform is voice only versions or if I make SFX versions of stories, every other platform gets the SFX version and the voice only version...

No nightmares this time. Interesting dreams

Generally with dreams, they are processing and updating your neurology as you sleep, so any unfinished patterns and new learning. The way to know what your dreams are likely to relate to are to pay attention to the emotions in the dream and think about when during the day (of the night you had the dream) you experienced that emotion but to a far lesser extent. For example, you could be fearful in a dream, but it might relate to being a bit anxious during the day, like perhaps anxious to talk to a boss, so you decide not to, but then because this is unresolved (you never completed the pattern, you thought about talking to the boss and then didn't), you close the pattern in your sleep in some metaphorical way that represents the situation where you didn't resolve the pattern in, but with the anxious being cranked up to fear. So, if you had a nightmare last night, then you can think about the feelings in the nightmare and think about when during the day yesterday you felt a more toned back version of those feelings (so anxiety during the day may become fear in the dream, annoyance or frustration during the day may become anger in the dream, etc) at a time when you also didn't resolve a pattern or do what you were thinking of (like worrying about something but not acting on it, or getting annoyed with someone but not saying anything, or being nervous about something and so not doing that thing, etc). This would likely be what the dream related to. Often once you identify what the dream might relate to, it makes sense, because you can often suddenly understand the metaphor - for example, maybe being annoyed with someone leads to dreaming of hitting something aggressively, or being anxious about giving a talk could be that you dream of being a fish in a school of fish and they all suddenly turn and start chasing you. Any people in the dream will also be metaphorical, so if it related to a boss, then in the dream it wouldn't be the boss (unless they are unseen but present in the dream, or they look different in some way - like fatter, slimmer, taller, shorter, an extra arm, or any other change from real life - and you would normally just have a sense that this is that person, even though they look different).

Thank you...

There are about four stories when I started making the magical stories where I decided to try not editing my breaths out to reduce editing time, but on releasing these and getting feedback that some people dislike it I went back to normal, editing out the breaths, so you can always just listen to the stories I've edited most breathing out of. This is the compilation of those first magical stories, so about four of these have my breaths left in. None of my other couple of dozen or more all night sleep stories compilations have the breaths left in like this...

As long as enough people continue to listen to these, I'll continue to make them...

This is an old video so it doesn't have any ads at the end of in the middle. The most likely explanation if there was an ad is that you had autoplay on our listened within a playlist and so ended up getting the ad at the beginning of the next video. All videos uploaded to UA-cam since November last year so have ads at the end unfortunately. UA-cam has made this compulsory, is creators have no control over this. We all tried to get UA-cam not to make this change, stating that ads at the end of our videos aren't helpful when people use our videos to sleep. We all made videos about the issue and that it was happening in November to try to also get our audiences to help us challenge UA-cam. Jason Stephenson who is one of the largest creators in this space set up a petition and this was put to UA-cam, but UA-cam still puts ads at the end, which is why we all pretty much make videos now where there is the story followed by his of rain sound or music etc so that the viewer can set a timer to turn off UA-cam after the story but before the rain sounds etc ends.
