 It's time. It's time. It's time. For what? For the Curious Duration. Sit back and relax, we'll sing, chat and laugh all on the Curious. I'm so glad you could be back today and I've asked Emily if she'll find out who's who on the Curious crew today. What's your name? Look at Emily. Milo. Hi Milo. What's your name? Claire. Hi Claire. What's your name? Olivia. Hi Olivia. What's your name? Geneva. Hi Geneva. Hi Lauren. Hi Emily. What's your name? Dorothy. Hi Dorothy. Hi everybody. It's good to practice names. That helps us feel included and I want to say a special hi to Geneva. Geneva I'm so happy you could come and now Jeanette has a new friend too. We all have a new friend. So Geneva is going to try to learn the songs and I'm going to say to both Emily and to Olivia. If your hands get warm with the puppets you can rest them but otherwise help them to sing the songs too. So let's start with our Curious Giraffe song. The first verse is about the zebra and the second verse will be about today's topic. Giraffe looked over at zebra and said, Why do I have spots? Why do you have stripes? Zebra just shrugged and said we common all types but we all share one big sky. Oh yeah. Share one big sky. Share one big sky. Give the world a big high five. Yeah! We're different and we know it but we all get along. Cause we can all share and we can all care. We're different but we all belong. Giraffe looked over at his friends and said, Do you ever dream wide awake in your sleep or wide awake? His friends all shrugged and said for goodness sake we all dream under one big sky. Oh yeah. Share one big sky. Share one big sky. Give the world a big high five. Yeah! We're different and we all get along. Cause we can all share and we can all care. We're different but we all belong. I thought it would be fun. Last time we talked about bedtime and going to bed and what helps us to be comfortable. And I thought it would be fun to have a show just about dreams. So I'm going to go back to their question. Do you ever dream? Let's do the first half first. Do you ever dream in your sleep? Do any of you ever have dreams? Yes. Yes. Yes, Claire? You want to say anything else about it? I think my mind made up a dream and I made up an imaginary friend in the dream I think. How great! See you're having a minute. Isn't in the daytime? In the daytime you also made a dream and made an imaginary friend. Okay, so Claire is helping us get to the second part. How about wide awake? Do you ever have a dream when you're awake? No. But Lauren you think you do sometimes? Do you want to tell us a little bit about it? No? No? Okay so we're going to think about both of these questions during our songs today. So this one, this song, is going to be about things we've dreamt about when we were asleep. Okay, so do you remember what you dreamt about? You dreamt about last night or any other night? Okay. Do you remember what you dreamt about? You dreamt about last night? I've had some dreams I'd like to think about, to think about in my life. We're going to just do their verse first. I remember I can see it now. What would that lake say to me if it could talk somehow? If you had a dream with a lake in it, what do you think the lake would say if it could talk? Yes, Lauren. Do you want to go swimming? It might invite you to say, do you want to go swimming? That's a great idea, Claire. Come swim with me. Come swim with me? Yeah. Anybody else? Yes? We eat the sea creatures. Come meet the lake creatures, the sea creatures. Oh, wonderful thoughts. Okay, so now we're going to sing it again. I forgot to tell you my good friend Bonnie, Bonnie Lockhart, wrote this dream because she likes this song because she likes to think about her dreams after she wakes up. So we're going to try again, and as we sing, think about something you might have seen in your dream. Here we go. Do you remember what you dreamt about, you dreamt about last night? I've had some dreams I'd like to think about, to think about it. Something from their dream. Yes. An airplane? An airplane. Let's sing that, and then we'll hear if we have any ideas. I remember what would that airplane say to me, if it could talk somehow. Let's start with Emily. What would it say to you? Okay, you want some help? Other people's thoughts? Yeah. Okay, Claire, you forgot anybody else, if you dreamed about an airplane, yes, Mino. Would you come and fly with me? Thank you, Mino. Claire. I just don't know how to say it. Okay, but you're thinking, and that's what happens with dreams. Sometimes you ponder them for a while. Okay, shall we try one more? Okay, one more time. Let's see what we come up with. Do you remember what you dreamt about, you dreamt about last night? Do you remember something from a dream? A ghost. A ghost? Okay, let's sing about the ghost. I remember a ghost, and I can see it. What would that ghost say to me, talk somehow? Okay, what might it say to you? Did it speak to you in your dream? No, so now we have to use our imagination. What might the ghost say? Anybody? Okay, Emily? Well, in her dream, the ghost was eating people. Uh-oh. So, I think it would say, like, can I eat you? Okay, it might be polite and ask first. Okay, anybody else? I'm going to make a guess. Maybe the ghost would say, Laurie, what's it like to be real? What's it like to have a body that sits up tall and sings? Okay, all right, let's go on because we want to think about the... Oh, in fact, here's just a fun dream that my friend Nancy Silver and her friend Tony Sowell wrote together. And it's a dinosaur dream, so they dreamed about a dinosaur. Okay. One night, I dreamed a dinosaur came and gave me a ride to a football game. When we got there, the game was done, but we cheered anyway because our team had won. Dreaming, I dream and play and pretend you can meet anyone who can be your friend. Go anywhere and change the whole scene while you're sleeping at night and dreaming a dream. Again the next night, the dinosaur came and we went to visit a railroad train. They didn't see us till we boarded the caboose. Someone yelled out, dinosaurs on the loose. Dreaming, I dream and play and pretend you can meet anyone who can be your friend. Go anywhere and change the whole scene while you're sleeping at night and dreaming a dream. We walked through the train, my dinosaur and I conductor took our tickets that he walked by. He asked, what's that thing with three horns on his head? I said, triceratops, and he hasn't been fed dreaming, I dream and play and pretend you can meet anyone who can be your friend. Go anywhere and change the whole scene when you're dreaming at night and dreaming a dream. So every night, I rush into bed waiting for my friend with three horns on his head. I know he's extinct, but not for me. When he visits in my dreams, he's alive as king can be. Dreaming, I dream and play and pretend you can meet anyone who can be your friend. Go anywhere and change the whole scene while you're sleeping at night and dreaming a dream. So in real life, does your team always win? No. No, you play because it's fun to play and you want to play with others, but in your sleep and in your dream you say, okay, my team won. I'm going to cheer, cheer, cheer. So then there's the other kind of dreams when we're awake and people dream of things that could be. And actually, Emily, could you reach into George's pouch there? George wants us to think about a grown-up who had a dream. You can open it up. There are three pages. Would you turn that around for the other kids to see and for the cameras to see? No, just the first one. Just the top. Yeah, that one. Open it wide. Bad girl. That is Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and he's very famous for three words that he said a lot. The first word is I. Everybody say, I. And the second word is have. The last word is, oh no, four words, A. Dream. Let's put it together. I have a dream. And now, Emily, we want to read the two statements about his dream. How about Claire, could you read one? And Olivia could read one. Pass them down. Claire, speak up in a clear voice. I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. Very nice. I say to you today, my friends, that in spite of the difficulties and frustrations of the moment, I still have a dream or I'm just their King, Jr. Yeah, yeah. So even grownups in real life, they see a problem and then they say, but I have a dream, we can make it better. We can make it better. Can any of you say in your own words what Martin Luther King, Jr. wanted or wants? Yes. Not for people that are judged by their skin color because that was a big problem when he lived. Yes, yes. And sometimes still today so we can keep dreaming of getting along with everybody and getting to know their character. What is their character? That's a big question. Any of you have an idea? Yes, Claire. Who you are and how you interact with others. Yeah, yeah. Your personality, your character. When things get hard, you make choices that take care of each other or do you just take care of yourself or what are your choices? Your character makes a stronger person. Okay, I actually think I might. Well, okay, we'll go ahead. This is a song about practical dreams of inventions people thought of that didn't always exist. So many stars, you can't count them all. So even if you're a kid, you might have an idea and dream and dream and imagine you might find a way to create it just like our first song said. So many stars, you can't count them all. Each little star is a great fireball. From far away, our dreams may look small. Move toward them. They grow power. What do you believe? When you switch on a light will the room remain dark or be suddenly bright? Okay, so what happens? Will it stay dark? What happens? Yes, but a long time ago you could flip a switch and nothing would happen but they created a light. Well, the light switch was once just a dream and a mind and now it's a power. So many stars, you can't count them all. Each little star is a great fireball. From far away, our dreams may look small when you start up your car or just sit where you are. Okay, what happens? You do. They didn't always have cars, did they? Somebody had to dream that such a thing could exist. Well, the car was once just a dream and a mind and now it's a power. So many stars, you can't count them all. It's a great fireball. From far away, our dreams may look small. It's not written up here, but you'll figure it out. What do you believe when it does someone? If I had my real phone I would really reach someone but for years and years and years you couldn't do that but somebody dreamed it off. So the cell phone was once just a dream. Gonna go, these questions seem silly and for these things came from dreamers like you so follow as wild as they seem and one day the world you look ready to dream, Milo. And I have a little activity to do with our next song. You're tired. Yeah, so I'm going to give you something to do. Okay, so take the puppets and rest them in front of you because we're all going to need our hands. Scoot over, you could scoop a little bit. I'm going to roll this across to Olivia. And then I'd like you to roll it over to Lauren. There you go. But you have to hold on to the piece that was near you. Now, Lauren, you grab hold of a piece near you. Hold that and now roll it over to Milo. Milo, you and I should sit flat with our feet in front of us. I'm going to rest my for a minute so I can get like it. Oh, I might have to do it. I'm going to just turn this on. I'm going to sing while we do this once I teach you how. Okay. Yes, sit a little flatter and now hold your parts and how about rolling over to Emily? No, but hold one part. There you go. Shall I roll it for you? Okay. You grab hold of a part and roll to Claire. Okay. And Claire, you're going to roll it back to me. Okay. So I'm going to sing us a new song, Dreams, Dreams, Spun in Our Mind. And remember when it comes to you to hold, grab, catch a hold of it and then you're going to spin some more. You're going to see something grow. Okay. Dreams, Dreams, Spun. Oops, grab hold. Dreams, Dreams, Spun. Yeah. Now grab hold with your other hand that's still holding. Yeah, you can hold. That's perfect. Now roll it back to Michael. Spun in our minds when we are waking and when we're less... I've got to look at it. I'm going to sit this way. You think you can do it? Yeah. Okay. I'll try to help. When we are sleeping new worlds and new times Dreams, Dreams, Spun in the Day. Make them dream and then make them dreams can come true. Nice job. Deep in our sleep they seem real. They are scary. Sometimes they're just great but they're hard to hold on to. Okay, grab hold. Here you go. Dreams, Dreams. Can still play. Yeah. Just grab hold of that, Lord. Deep in our sleep. Sorry. Awake in the day our minds can still play imagining something brand new. New inventions. The best of intentions. A world where we're kind, courageous and true. All right. So this is my experiment and this is my way of showing that together if different ones of us gather people around to believe in our dream then we make something brand new. Okay, so let that rest. And Myla told me that he's tired and I have a little present for you all to have when we're not together. And they are little dream pillows. Each of you will get it's got a giraffe on one side and it has a little pocket on one side. So, pass that on. These are my gift to you and sometimes if you want to dream about something special you can put your idea in here. Maybe you want to dream about a hope that you have for yourself or for someone else and you could use it that way. You can tuck your idea into the pocket and then sleep on this little side or, yes, what? It makes this. Yeah. It's a pocket. I stitched it on there. Yes, yes. Or you could put in your tooth. You could put your tooth there and you get a loose tooth. Well, you could put that there. And then sleep on it. Yeah, what? And then sleep on it. And then sleep on it? Sure. The tooth theory would know right where to look. Right. Or you might wake up and you might have one word for where to dream that you want to remember. Write that on the card and put it in there and collect your dream ideas. Okay. So let's do that song one more time and you can even close your eyes. Sing along if you want or just take a little nap. Here we go. Tree, trees, spun in our minds when trees spun in our carries. Sometimes they're just great but they're hard to hold on to once we are awake. One more time on the chorus. Tree, trees, put down those objects for now. We're going to stand up and sing our goodbye song. Okay.
