Washing the dog can be a bit boring, don’t you think? I wish I could fly like a bee, zooming through the sky without a care. Let’s imagine flying across the seas, the Seven Seas of Fleas!
Oh, look! It’s the King of Fleas! He asks, “Would you like one lump or three in your lemonade tea?” I say, “I’ll have two, please and thank you!” The King invites us to stay for a feast. There’s ice cream cake, strawberries, cookies, and watermelon! But there’s no time to eat because we must fly across the seas. Goodbye, my flea friends! We’ll meet again in the breeze.

Now, let’s explore another story called “Dreams in a Jar.” It’s about a special secret: collecting dreams and keeping them in a jar!
Once, I dreamed of pirate ships and cannons. I saved a coin from that dream and put it in my jar. I dreamed of a world made of food and saved a candy wrapper. I even dreamed of winning the Olympic Games and kept a bottle lid to remember!
I dreamed of mermaids in coral castles and took home a pretty shell. I dreamed of playing in a band and saved some confetti. I dreamed of being a pixie in a tree and wore a flower as a hat.
There were dreams of ancient beasts and pharaohs. I collected a pebble and some sand to remember. I even dreamed of riding a rocket ship and kept a bolt from the adventure!
In my dreams, I was a grown-up with meetings. I saved a pencil from my desk. People might see a jar of junk, but to me, it’s full of treasures from my dreams!

Create Your Own Dream Jar: Let’s make our own dream jars just like in “Dreams in a Jar”! Find a small jar or container at home. Each time you have a dream, draw a picture or write a few words about it on a piece of paper. Fold the paper and put it in your jar. You can also add small objects that remind you of your dream, like a leaf or a button. Share your dream jar with your family and tell them about your dreams!
Imaginative Play with Flea Friends: Pretend you are flying across the Seven Seas of Fleas! Use a blanket or a towel as your magic flying carpet. Invite your stuffed animals or toys to join you on your adventure. What do you see as you fly? Are there any flea friends you meet along the way? Draw a picture of your adventure and share it with your friends or family.
Dream Story Time: Gather with your family or friends and take turns sharing a dream you remember. It can be a real dream you had while sleeping or an imaginative dream you wish to have. After sharing, think about what object you would put in your dream jar to remember it. Discuss why that object is special to you and how it connects to your dream.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Washing the dog is such a bore, it’s not my favorite kind of chore. I wish I could fly through the air like the bees, without a care. Let’s fly, let’s fly across the seas, across the Seven Seas of Fleas!
Greetings today, O King of Fleas! One lump or three in your lemonade tea? Don’t mind if I do, please and thank you! I’ll have one plus one, and that makes two. Won’t you stay and dine with us? O King of Fleas, you must, you must!
There’s ice cream cake, strawberries, cookies, and watermelon, but there’s no time for such delicacies, for I must fly across the seas. Goodbye, my friends, my twitchy fleas! We shall meet again upon the breeze.

Now, let’s have a look at what “Dreams in a Jar” is all about.
There’s a secret I keep that you might think bizarre: I collect all the dreams I have and keep them in a jar. I dreamed of pirate ships and cannons firing overhead. I took one coin and put it in a jar beneath my bed.
I dreamed the world was made of food, as much as you could eat. I stuffed my face and saved myself a wrapper from a sweet. I dreamed of the Olympic Games, and guess who won first place? I kept a bottle lid so I won’t forget the race.
I dreamed of coral castles filled with mermaids in the sea. I found a pretty shell and thought, “I’ll take it home with me.” I dreamed that I was in a band and played the bass guitar. I scooped confetti from the floor and put it in my jar.
I dreamed I was a pixie and lived inside a tree. I wore a flower as a hat and took it home with me. I dreamed of all the ancient beasts that used to run and roam. I took a pebble from that place to take back to my home.
I dreamed of ancient pharaohs and the spooky mummy’s tomb. I grabbed a handful of the sand and took it to my room. I dreamed I rode a rocket ship that blasted past a star. I kept the bolt that toppled off and put it in my jar.
I dreamed I was a grown-up and had meetings in a suit. I took a pencil from my desk to add it to my loot. See, a jar of junk! They don’t see what I see. I treasure all my bits and bobs; it means so much to me.
Trinkets from a thousand worlds, the places I have been, all the things that I have done, and all the things I’ve seen. My dreams are mine forever, and I know just where they are. I keep them there beneath my bed; I keep them in a jar.
And that was “Dreams in a Jar.” What do you do with your dreams? Do you keep them in a jar too? Leave us a comment and tell us about your dreams!
