Where the Tide Forgets Your Name

Contemplative Fiction for Quiet Evenings (Before Your Dream)

A Bedtime Story for Adults Who Want to Let Go

A woman walks the shoreline in silence. She isn’t sure whether she’s leaving or returning — only that the sea is rising, and the fog holds her gently. Where the Tide Forgets Your Name is a quiet, immersive bedtime story for adults, written for the in-between hours when the body is ready to rest but the mind hasn’t yet followed.

This is contemplative fiction for listeners who seek something gentler than plot. A story that breathes instead of speaks. That lingers instead of resolves. Part of the Before Your Dream series, this tale joins a growing collection of sleep stories created to slow your thoughts and soften your senses. Its long, flowing lines mirror the tide — ideal for those drawn to poetic fiction for relaxation, gentle evening listens, and calming short stories designed for sleep. If you've been searching for a true literary sleep aid, you've just found it.

A Story That Moves Without Urgency

Set in a recognisably modern world, this contemporary short story follows a woman with no destination, just footsteps in sand. There are no chapters, no dialogue — only mist, memory, and the rhythmic hush of waves. Her name fades. Her past quiets. And what remains is presence: a story that feels psychological in depth, not drama.

Listen closely. Let it wash over you. And when it ends, let it drift with you into the dark.

Peaceful

The voice of the narrator was very soothing. The narrator was perfect for a book of contemplative fiction. I also loved each chapter of the book. It all had very interesting ideas

A taste of voluntary hypnosis and ethereal travel

Not appropriate for listening while: Operating a motor vehicle, working with heavy machinery, playing poker. This gently guided stroll along foggy waterfront offers countless opportunities to get lost in the moment, drift away in your own thoughts, and find inner peace amongst the crashing waves of your busy and restless life. Spoken with an alluring and hypnotic voice, Elizabeth Copnall provides the observations and allowances that create a pillowy enclosure around your mind, matching a clarity and softness with the unhurried cadence of the story. This short relaxing experience is remarkably relistenable again and again, bringing calm and a recentered focus. Recommended pairing with a cup of warm herbal tea.
