Image	Segment	Description
	SCENE 1	Nina welcomes the Sproutlets at home and asks if they're ready for a good night together, leading to the "Welcome Song." Nina and Star hear a sound, which the latter points out is a ringing one, and the Sproutlets point it out to them that it is the Goodnight Bell. Nina reaches into her basket and pulls out a picture of a Sproutlet girl dreaming about being an astronaut floating in space, and she and Star come to the conclusion that tonight's adventure is about dreams. Nina then teaches the Spanish word for "dreams," suenos, which she invites him and the Sproutlets to say with her.
	SCENE 2	Nina welcomes back the Sproutlets and explains that tonight's adventure is about dreams, which Star adds means suenos in Spanish, leading to a poem. Star reveals that said poem remind him of a dream he had last night, in which he was orange with flashing green spots. Afterwards, he woke up and found that he was still himself. Nina tells him that even if he was this way, she'd still love him, and Star tells her the same. Now it's time to look through the Sprout-o-scope and, after singing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star," Nina and Star look at tonight's constellation - a pillow.
	SCENE 3	Nina welcomes back the Sproutlets and tells them that they're talking about dreams, or suenos, tonight. She then talks about a dream she had as a Sproutlet and taking dance lessons, where she was in a dance recital and wearing snow boots when it started to snow and she was the only one who could dance. She gets the idea to do a Sprout stretch, which she goes out into the Goodnight Garden to do. Nina and her Sproutlet friends pay tribute to Angelina Mouseling by doing Angelina's Ballerina Bow Stretch, in which they pretend to be Angelina dancing for the royal mouse family and put their arms up, with one leg behind the other, and take a curtsy by bending their legs, then taking a bow with one leg in front of them and the other behind, and ending by shaking their hands and taking a deep breath.
	SCENE 4	After singing the Craft Song, Nina and Star make a dream book for tonight's craft, with the former drawing the dreams they described earlier. Star then exclaims he can't wait to go to sleep tonight so he can have more dreams.
	SCENE 5	After Nina welcomes back the Sproutlets, Star suggests they use their dream book craft for a story, in which a yellow star named, well, Star, who dreamed about being orange with green spots, so he wishes for and later becomes this way. After a while, he wishes to be his original color again.
	SCENE 6	Nina welcomes back the Sproutlets and tells them that they're talking about suenos, or dreams, tonight. Now it's time to hear from some Sproutlet friends, leading to a real kids segment in which they talk about dreams they have had.
	SCENE 7	For the Goodnight Game, Nina and Star play Soothing Sounds, in which they find calm and quiet sounds, which turn out to be a rattle, the rain, and ocean waves.
	SCENE 8	Nina and Star welcome back the Sproutlets and tell them that tonight's adventure is about dreams, or suenos. The former breaks it to the latter that everyone has dreams when he asks her. She adds that, while dreams are what one has when sleeping, a dream can also mean a hope for the future, for example, becoming a firefighter, doctor, or house builder, flying to another country, adopting a pet, or giving birth, and that these are called daydreams. The former then talks about sign language and teaches the sign for "dream," bringing her finger to the side of her forehead and pulling it away, which her Sproutlet friends do along with her.
	SCENE 9	Nina welcomes back the Sproutlets, explaining that tonight's adventure is about dreams, or suenos, and wonders if she and Star should say goodnight now or continue having fun. Star chooses the latter, which he always does. Lucy then presents Sproutlets' crafts and drawings in the Goodnight Gallery. Jacob, 7, of Foothill Ranch, California draws himself waving to a flying blue creature, Lizzy, 6, of Laurinberg, North Carolina draws happy trees and a big pink house, and Jasmine, 6, of Danville, California draws herself outside.
	SCENE 10	It's time to play "Lucy Light the Way." Based on clues (a crow, a scarecrow, and some corn), Nina and Star guess Lucy is at a cornfield.
	SCENE 11	Nina tells Star that it's time for him to start thinking about getting ready for bed, but he isn't sleepy yet. He decides that he'll get ready for bed if Lucy does it, too, but Nina explains that she goes to bed before her, adding that, like many animals, fireflies are nocturnal. Star then decides he wants to be an owl tonight, but concedes that he'd rather be a star and get ready for bed, leading to "Ready for Bed." Afterwards, Nina tells Star he did such a wonderful job getting ready for bed tonight. Star thanks her, and replies by saying it's important to wash his face and brush his teeth. He's ready for bed, but at first didn't think he was tired at all, which leads to a yawn, and now deduces he really is.
	SCENE 12	Nina welcomes the Sproutlets back and gives a brief recap of the night. She then points out that Star is already fast asleep, and goes over to Hush to recite his goodnight poem, and invites the Sproutlets at home to sign along with her and make their wishes for tonight. She then sings the "Goodnight Song" and falls asleep, closing the episode.
