Olaf Asteson falls into a kind of sleep for the 13 nights of Christmas and awakes to tell of his experiences. Rudolf Steiner validated the Dream Song as an authentic rendering of spiritual experiences. The version Bonnie Manaças will perform is an original translation from Norwegian done by Bonnie with Bente Katya Bø.
