Drifting into Dreamworld... with Zakia

Zakia provides the soundtrack for your dreams with selections from all around the world. Plus, Nashville artist William Tyler joins to share his Dreambience mix.

DJ, broadcaster, writer, and dreamer Zakia Sewell provides the soundtrack to your dreams - playing music to ease the mind, soothe the soul, and open portals to new dimensions…

This week Zakia takes us on a dreamy journey around the globe with her selections from music new, old and some reissues. The show includes songs from ESG, Vashti Bunyan, Meridian Brothers and Anna Domino.

Plus, we hear from Nashville guitarist and composer. William Tyler as he share his dreams of an old family home and it's importance in his life, along with dreams of travel to locations he has yet to visit. He also shares his Dreambience mix inspired partially by the soundtrack from the Shining and music free from the restraints of time and genre.

We want to hear your dreams! Send in tales of your sleepy adventures to dreamtime@bbc.co.uk.
