"Before it took an hour and a half to cuddle. Now she's asleep in less than five minutes" - App review from mother Ellen F.
Welcome to Drømmejunglen's soothing bedtime stories, which every night help many children find peace and fall asleep more easily. The bedtime stories are based on soothing hypnosis techniques, which help your child process everyday experiences and fall asleep faster. You can hear the stories with or without soothing jungle music in the background. The music continues for a full hour after the story is finished, so you can lie down and relax and fall asleep to the soothing sounds of the Dream Jungle.
ANNA READS OUT LOUD
The stories are written by doctor Anna Knakkergaard, who daily helps children with sleep problems using hypnosis and relaxation techniques. Both Anna's experience and studies have shown that hypnosis can contribute to better, higher quality sleep. This applies to both the time to fall asleep, the depth of sleep and the number of awakenings. It is also Anna who reads the stories aloud in the app, so you can look forward to listening to that.
ANIMAL CHILDREN OF THE DREAM JUNGLE
In the Dream Jungle, the animals find it difficult to sleep for various (and quite common) reasons, but luckily they get good help from calming hypnosis techniques. Sloth Doris wonders and worries. Petra the parrot talks way too much and doesn't feel tired at all. Torben the tapir has a stomachache, and Bolette the Leafcutter ant is afraid of the dark. Brøleaben Bjarne has a lot of thoughts, and Janus the jaguar is suffering from growing pains. In the stories, the child helps the animals to find peace, so that both child and animal child can fall asleep.
HUBERT AND THE DREAM CATCHER
Hubert has lost his dream catcher and without it, he has difficulty sleeping. Therefore, he has to go on a trip around the Dream Jungle's animal children to find help. The story can inspire good conversations about feelings and dreams and about how both difficult and calming emotions are contagious. The story is especially good for those children who may have problems with nightmares and dreams.
THE RIVER OF IMAGINATION
Deep in the Dream Jungle lies the River of Imagination. Here there are animals who play, but who may well have some problems with handling emotions, and this can cause restlessness in the body. This applies, for example, to Palle the pirate fish, who gets a bubbling feeling inside when he gets angry, and then sometimes he ends up doing something he regrets. Fortunately, Palle gets help to get a handle on his emotions, with an exercise in the inner engine room, so that he can find peace better.
FOR PARENTS
In the Dream Jungle, your child must help the animals sleep. At the same time, the child is guided through various calming exercises, based on meditation and hypnosis techniques. The stories thus help the child find peace and be able to fall asleep afterwards. If you choose the stories with music, this continues for a full hour after the individual story, so that the child can lie down and relax and fall asleep. The age group is approx. 4-10 years, but both younger and older children also enjoy the stories of Drømmejunglen.
WHAT IS HYPNOSIS?
Hypnosis can best be explained as a state of focused attention, where the body rests and the brain can process different things more easily. We know the state from meditation and daydreaming, or when we immerse ourselves in a good book. This is also the state children can be in when they are playing, and almost have to be "awakened" by the play to hear that they have to come to the table, for example.
