Somna I'm Dreaming User Guide

Name the dreams. Let the night hold them. Just say: Alexa, I’m dreaming.

I’m Dreaming is a quiet dream-board skill. You name three to five things you dream of having, becoming, or experiencing. Later, Somna reflects them back softly while the mind is resting or sleeping.

Start here

If you are new, keep it simple:

  1. Say: Alexa, I’m Dreaming.
  2. Name three short dream phrases.
  3. Say: that’s enough.
  4. Say: save these.
  5. At night, say: Alexa, I’m Dreaming, or start it automatically from an Alexa Routine.

Short phrases work best. Nothing needs to be perfect or practical.

Start

To begin, say:

Alexa, I’m Dreaming

If no dream board is saved yet, Somna will guide you through setup. If a dream board is already saved, Somna will play it softly.

Create a dream board

Name three to five things you dream of having, becoming, or experiencing.

Important: Setup is conversational. After you open I’m Dreaming and it asks for your first dream, you do not need to keep saying “Alexa, ask I’m Dreaming.” Just say the dream phrase.

They can be simple. These are examples only:

You are not limited to these phrases. Say whatever matters to you, in your own words.

Use short phrases. Somna will ask for each one.

my dream is a peaceful home my dream is steady health my dream is creative success

Save your dream board

After three dreams, you can save them or add up to two more.

that’s enough save these

If you want to add more, keep naming them. Somna accepts up to five.

my dream is financial freedom my dream is deep love

Hear them back softly

Once your dream board is saved, Somna can say the dreams back as quiet reminders.

Alexa, I’m Dreaming Alexa, ask I’m Dreaming to play dream board Alexa, ask I’m Dreaming to say them back

The night script is slow, minimal, and permissive. It does not ask you to solve, force, or decide anything tonight. It simply lets the dreams become quietly familiar while the mind is resting or sleeping.

Scheduled Alexa Routine start

I’m Dreaming can be started automatically from an Alexa Routine. The start time is set in the Alexa app, not inside the skill.

If you use a sleep tracker, you may notice a general time of night when deeper sleep often occurs. You can try scheduling I’m Dreaming around that window.

Sleep trackers estimate sleep stages, so this does not need to be exact. The goal is simply to let the dream board play during a quiet part of the night, without waking you fully.

  1. Open the Alexa app and select More (top left).
  2. Then select Routines and go to Your Routines.
  3. Add (+) a New Routine and name it.
  4. Select the profile to be used and Save it.
  5. Add (+) an Event and Schedule the Time to be played.
  6. Add (+) a Custom Action and enter "Ask I’m Dreaming".
  7. Select which device it is to be played on.
  8. Finally, select Finished.

For scheduled use, save your dream board first. When the Routine runs, I’m Dreaming goes straight to the quiet night script and reflects your saved dream items softly.

Alexa, ask I’m Dreaming to review dream board Alexa, ask I’m Dreaming to start over Alexa, ask I’m Dreaming to play dream board

Routine-ready design

I’m Dreaming uses Alexa Routines for scheduling rather than becoming an in-skill reminder, alarm, or planner.

The skill saves the dream board. The Alexa app controls when the saved dream board is played.

This keeps the bedside experience simple: name the dreams, save them, and let the routine start the soft reflection later.

Why play it while resting or sleeping

I’m Dreaming is designed to keep the dream board low-effort. Instead of asking you to visualize or concentrate, it softly reintroduces what matters while the mind is quiet.

The dreams are spoken as reminders, not commands. The aim is to let them feel familiar, possible, and quietly yours.

No need to wake fully. No need to picture anything clearly. Just let the night hold it.

Review or start over

You can check what is saved, or clear it and begin again.

Alexa, ask I’m Dreaming to review dream board Alexa, ask I’m Dreaming what are my dreams Alexa, ask I’m Dreaming to start over Alexa, ask I’m Dreaming to clear dream board

Replay

If you want the same experience again, use replay language.

Alexa, ask I’m Dreaming to play again Alexa, ask I’m Dreaming to replay last

Play again plays the saved dream board. Replay last repeats the last response when available.

Partner Mode

If someone is nearby, Partner Mode adds a very short opening before the dream script so the experience feels gentler in a shared space.

It does not change your dream board. It only adds a brief preface.

Alexa, ask I’m Dreaming to turn on Partner Mode Alexa, ask I’m Dreaming to turn off Partner Mode Alexa, ask I’m Dreaming is Partner Mode on

I’m Dreaming uses the same Somna family command style as the other “I’m ...” skills: play again, replay last, turn on Partner Mode, review what is saved, or start over.

FYI: You can also change Alexa’s voice in your device settings by saying, "Alexa, change your voice."
