@@sallyhope2137 Oh, Garbage's response goes without saying, absolutely. Belly sleeping has worked like a charm for me personally ever since I was a kid, but no guarantee obv. Regardless, let us know how things are going. And good luck!
That’s actually wild. I think dreams are so fascinating. Also I like the doctor strange theory of dreams being multiverses. My dreams specifically feel similar but different. Familiar but not the same. Just something I like to think abt lol
@@Kinetically616TTVoh just wait till you hear this I was talking with a friend and she can control everything in her dreams and change topics at will she can change time the setting if she dies or gets stabbed she said she just changes the subject or stops thinking about it while most of all people wake up upon trauma or death and furthermore she has had this for her entire life and thought everyone does isn’t that crazy
I dreamt that I was at a casino playing the VLT machine and I won.When the machine started ringing,I woke to the sound of the phone ringing.It was like my dream knew what was going to happen in real life. I had a few other similar experiences.
MemeMore lol ikr but sometimes the good dreams or bad stays in your memory cuz i had a ufo dream 11 years ago and i still remember all the details or maybe it wasn’t actually a dream....
I'm a musician and I have written my best songs in dreams, half remembering them first thing in the morning, as I'm in and out of consciousness, but by the time I wake up fully, it has slipped away. I am fascinated by dreams! Great video ❤
Pretty Ironic, our brains our so powerful you can absolutely stumpled upon your songs in dream which you obviously did not make. That puts a thought, we are underestimating the power of brain and ourselves. It concluded if even an average joe unlocks his brain somehow he can also create wonders. Note, I'm a musician too.
You know that feeling when you have a dream and you realize you're dreaming and then you're like "no don't wake up I wanna have to have a lucid dream" but then you wake up
I can lucid dream at will. I do this at the stage where you wake up but haven't opened your eyes yet. just go back to sleep and start thinking about cool potential dreams, however this requires you to have nothing to do that morning otherwise you will think your running late for something and wake up too much.
As someone who experienced lucid dreaming for a long time, my first time lucid dreaming was a bit of a scary experience to me. Not only can I physically move my body but it feels like it's actually happening. I caused this thing where I "become my dream" and it was very hard for me to focus and after a while I have gotten used to lucid dream and the thing about it is that I started doing it at day and night, but then the lucid dreaming got to a point where I started to feel like I am not in a dream but rather another world and then I started doing crazy stuff (I think you would know what I'm talking about) and The people I do it with are people I know in real life and it made me more confident but I changed. Like I said, I started "becoming my dream" and the me from my lucid dreams became me in real life and because of that, people have been avoiding me and my friends would always say I'm weird. That's when I started noticing myself and what I'm doing and what I'm saying. Then I have been getting very scared of just absolutely refuse to go outside and talk to people. I still lucid dream, which I am fine with, but I haven't regularly dreamed in a while. If you are planning on lucid dreaming, please don't make the same mistakes I have made.
*Have you ever had a dream that you, um, you had, your, you- you could, you’ll do, you- you wants, you, you could do so, you- you’ll do, you could- you, you want, you want them to do you so much you could do anything?*
I was a victim of some pretty sick child abuse and neglect for a nine year period, starting when I was 4, and had many many extremely vivid nightmares during those years, most of which I still remember all too well at the age of 63. They mainly dealt with themes of isolation and helplessness. I also had night terrors as a small child for awhile. They're sort of hallucinations that occur just as one is falling asleep. In the night terrors I was always being chased by white circles. Why white circles? Beats me. When I was 8 I had a dream that was comprised of snippets of a bunch other dreams all glued together, all unrelated. These little snippets were mostly very mundane, not vivid like some other dreams I was having, and were separated by brief images of swirls of mist. It was pretty weird. About two weeks later I was in a house where I'd never been before (my cousin took me over to a friends house, someone I'd never met before.) He showed us his fish tank and I happened to mention something about one of the fishes' tails. The moment the words left my mouth I had the strongest feeling of deja vu I've ever had. And then I remembered I had said those exact same words about the fish's tail in one of those dream segments from two weeks earlier. I remembered the dream segment clearly. I know this sounds crazy, but I think I had a clairvoyant dream! I wonder if this is what deja vu actually is, partially remembering a dream that's somehow been replicated in real life. Food for thought I guess. There was a period as a young man when my dreams were affected by my experimentation with hallucinogenics. Had some dreams where I was feeling the hallucinogenic effects in the dream. These were sometimes quite epic and fantastical. Sometimes these dreams had long plots I could remember afterwards that included an especially epic segment, sort of the highlight of the dream, that would repeat in other dreams with different plots, and at other times it was more like an uncontrolled subconscious swirl of emotions, colors, sounds and sights. I also had dreams during this period which were so realistic that I was convinced I was not dreaming, but awake. In one of those dreams my buddies and I were cruising around in a car as we often did back then. I happened to be sitting in the back seat when we hit a semi and my skull got crushed. I sat straight up in bed and experienced hallucinogenic effects for about 10 minutes. Later when I was in my thirties I had repeated episodes of sleep paralysis accompanied by hallucinations like the strong feeling that someone was standing over me with a knife and a weird unsettling sound, sort of like a scream or squeal that gets progressively louder and induces more panic the louder it gets. I'd have to try to shake myself out of paralysis by *trying* to thrash about, and I'd try to scream for help, for my wife to shake me awake and could only mumble weakly. Eventually i was able to shake myself out of it but it sometimes took a long time and was quite exhausting. Fortunately it's been at least 20 years since I've had problematic dreams. Nowadays I only remember the occasional dream, rarely have unpleasant dreams, and more often than not wake up with only a very vague impression or echo of a dream but can't remember details.
i realised i was in a dream so i tried to control it, i could answer questions and make minor decisions but i tried flying and it didnt work i was just jumping around
does anyone else sometimes have dreams where they're aware that they're dreaming but can't control what they're doing? and also dreams where you're aware and can force yourself to wake up?
Yeah, i used to do it more when I was younger. When I realized what it was I started using my lucid dreams more productively. Since your mind operates in a similar fashion to how you would be awake, i started practicing stuff like piano or just doing cool stuff, since your mind can contribute those skills to muscle memory i improved some skill in those areas. I also liked to focus and completely recreate a memory or story. The interesting thing about that is that lucid dreaming either ends with you waking up or fading back into a regular dream as you lose control. So the story can kinda run itself. I used to also yell "this is a dream" if i figured out I was just having a nightmare, then I would wake up
The only time I've watched somebody sleep Is when I was really young (7 or 8) because I saw my mom's eyes moving under her eyelids while she slept and I just sat there being fascinated.
BananaGrabber ok i got somthing wierd i was dreaming that a was somewhere and one of the teachers was telling us something. next day on a place whre i never was and never had seen... exectly the same this as in the dream. exact same placd words teacher. whaaaaaaaat? can yo explane? it's confusing how this could happen.
I sometimes lucid dream, it happened a few days ago, but whenever I realize I'm dreaming, I'm like "hey wait i can do whatever..." and then have no idea what to do. In a dream, your senses are much more foggy, and thinking straight is hard, so it's hard to control your dream even if you know you can, and if you do, it's not really very fun due to the nature of dreams. You can tell no one is real. Also, most of my dreams are lucid, but you also forget a lot of stuff in your dreams, so even if I know it's a dream, I rarely remember I can control it. Whenever I realise i can control the dream, much of the dream has already passed, and since idk what to do in it, I kinda just let the dream play out until I forget I can control it. Although sometimes I make myself run really fast or fly around. Last dream I had, I was in a dangerous situation and then I remembered i could control it and made myself super fast and the gas gas gas meme was in my head at the time so I ran from the monster singing "gas gas gas" then tried to spawn in a radio playing it to make it funnier, but unfortunately, I couldn't manage to do it, it's often hard to do the thing because you don't really know how other than imagining it. One time, I was flying in my dream, then was like... how do I do this again? I basically forgot how to do it because to fly forwards I had to imagine it, not do it. And it was very confusing. Also, because most of my dreams are lucid, even nightmares don't scare me because I know it's a dream, and I can just tell whatever is tryna kill me "hey uhhh i dont really care because ill either just respawn or wake up since this is a dream" and the thing sometimes doesn't react to the information or goes oh I'm in a dream? One time I was in an intense fight with some sort of giant lizard then paused and said "wait why are we doing this again, this is all a dream" then he said idk and we both thought for a second. Then I came to the conclusion "lets just keep fighting its kinda fun" and the dream continued.
I am a part-time filmmaker and often dream of the most incredible stories that feel like a "masterpiece". They are such elaborate exciting stories that I could never invent in my waking life. And yet I forget almost 95% of them right after I wake up, I can only remember the feeling: "Wow, this is so good, if I implement this I will be famous".
I challenge everyone who sees this to start a dream diary. You can write it in a notebook or your phone, it doesn’t matter. It’s so fun, I promise! I cannot tell you how many times I’ve looked back at my dream diary and been so confused and concerned about what dreams my brain concocts every night.
I had sleep paralysis when I was in high school. Actually got it from a medication I was on. I didn’t see anything creepy but I would wake up and be stuck. After awhile I learned just to relax and go back to sleep.
I've also had sleep paralysis a number of times, but I have never had the hallucinations that usually go with it either 🤷🏻♂️💯 I'm certainly not complaining though 😅 I'm thankful, I might have a heart attack if I wake up in the dark, and I see a figure looming over me, and staring at me and shit and I can't move‼️😭😓😭. Idk exactly how I would handle that shit... But I know that I wouldn't be handling it well 😓😭😓 That's for sure 😅🤣😅💯
@@Hithere-uz6wd I definitely don't recommend it. Being frozen in place yet knowing I am awake and have no control is a crazy feeling. All I could do was move my eyes and TRY to move. Instead I just ended up twitching until my brain kicked in and was like "Oh we aren't asleep anymore."
I had a mental trauma about 10 years ago and for years after I would have sleep paralysis, sometimes every night. Finally stopped having them, but it was usually like I was trying to wake but felt stuck in my dream and unable to move, with an intense fear that something's right there about to get me. Finally I'd push through and wake up and open my eyes, to see that nothing's there and then crash.
I've had a dream about literally the best most original movie concept idea ever, and also an incredibly well thought out video game concept idea. I didn't do anything though, I was just amazed by my insane creativity and moved on.
I hate when I have good dreams of girls, *not the ones when you just have sex with*, but when you actually fall in love with someone, and then they have to leave you, then you wake up. Shit man.
Nah fam. It's just so beautiful, happened to me only twice but I literally pray it happened more often... I literally am left with a, aw man, this was so good - feeling when i wake up
Livid_Gunslinger same here. literally last night I dreamt about something at school. It was weird but I don't remember what happened. It's so annoying.
@@Stinkywinkle17 I can only ever remember what the dream makes me FEEL. Ex: If it was a nightmare, I'll know it was a nightmare because I wake up feeling and knowing that I'm shaken up and that it wasn't pleasant. The best I can describe the experience from sleeping all other times is that it feels like a few seconds of black nothingness before waking up in the morning. It's so weird...I also assume that's what it might feel like going through a wormhole or something. Feels like I just time traveled straight to sunrise time. Lol
it's a blessing to have such channels in today's world i mean everyone is busy uploading cringe and funny videos and this guy is literally spreading some interesting knowledge, idk why he is not uploading more such videos nowadays, his frequency of uploading videos has drastically reduced :( I hope you will continue making such videos, and if you need some donation, I would love to donate to you but not now as I am just a high school kid now, but I will definitely help you financially in the future because i don't see such videos uploaded by any other youtuber:)
When I was 9, in 2004, a tsunami hit our hometown on the eve of Christmas and caused massive destruction. Since then, I've had nightmares about huge waves sweeping me into the sea. These dreams always drowned me in my sleep. But for some time now, these dreams have become lucid. I can now control the outcome of the dreams and make them positive ones where I am not swept away into the sea.
From my personal experience If you usually realize that ur dreaming and when I do in dreams, I try to visualize it but I fail then wake up and be like whhhhhaaaaa It’s a sign of gaining consciousness and ur naturally waking up
I had a few lucid dreams i dream every day but i forget most throughout the day i dont remember anything from my todays dream tho its weird last couple of days i feel like i didnt dream
sometimes I have dreams of me in the future. Like one random ass part of my life, such as sitting on the bus. Weeks or months later I do exactly that and I get this weird feeling of deja vu and then remember that I dreamt the exact same thing a few months ago. Anyone else get this?
Absolutely yes! funny enough I had a pop quiz in my dream and remembered the date for some reason and on that date in real life i cut my teacher off mid-class to say we have a pop quiz today my teacher now thinks i'm psychic Because I was right
That is because we truly don’t know the full power of our brain and sometimes that is why we can do things that are impossible because with 100 percent of our brain sometimes we activate that and that happens
"You can actually see this happening while watching people sleep, like I usually do." Two interpretations: One - Michael watches people sleep. Two - Michael sleeps like regular people. Either way, I'm laughing so hard.
When I practiced lucid dreaming, I would keep a dream journal and write down everything I could immediately remember once I woke up. I did that everyday and eventually I was able to remember more of my dreams in more detail. Sometimes I even had fully lucid dreams, very fun.
Why writing down? I always go trough my dreams after I wake up and trough the day sometimes but I still don’t get why writing it down? What does it change
@@chuunibyu it can help you remember more details and dreams the more often you do it. Plus when you start to write your dreams down you can start to notice patterns sometimes or specific things that may have happened in the dream which can help keep your mind focused on those types of things next time you sleep. The more you can recognized these things while dreaming, then the better chance you have at becoming lucid. I started out by counting each finger on my hand while I was awake, while simultaneously touching the fingers. You can also try looking at a clock and reading the time aloud. This can become a muscle memory so when you do it in your dream you will notice that something is off from the norm. For example when you dream you might notice that you have an extra finger or are missing one during your count, or the clock could look strange and not make sense. This is sort of like a trigger for you to realize you are dreaming and to take control.
Years ago I would have pretty unsettling dreams from time to time. Then I saw a tv show on dreams and one doctor talked about how we have way more power over our dreams than we think we do. If things are coming at you, dangers and frightening things, then just decide to fight back. Go after the bad in your dreams. It totally worked, and I realized I could then in turn make my dreams far more pleasant. I maybe have had one unpleasant dream in the past several years. I never worry about dreaming anymore. If you worry about it, it does become a self fulfilling prophecy so to speak.
I've gotten into the habit of writing down my dreams as soon as I wake up from them. Sometimes I'm so sleepy when I write notes in the middle of the night, I wake up to check them in the morning and I can't understand what I wrote 😂
I’ve been doing this for 2 years But the entries are rare,bcuz i only remember dreams,like 2 times in a week,and like u,I’ll fall asleep while memorizing a dream I just had lol
this video was out there before I could even talk correctly and I found it like 5 years ago, it's become some tradition (?) to watch this every year it always gets in my recommend once a year. Best video I've ever seen
“If you have people remember words pairs and then you don’t allow them to sleep the next day their memory for that stuff is incredibly terrible.” Schools: I’m gonna pretend I didn’t hear that
@@sparkling925 just a friendly reminder that you don't need to stay up all night to be sleep deprived enough to have it affect your cognitive function :)
@@sparkling925 I literally couldn't sleep 8 hours a day even if I went to bed as early as possible. I mean it was physically impossible. In my country we eat at around 9-10 pm, so we go to sleep "early" at 10-11 pm. I had to get up for school at 6 am at the latest.
I had a dream last night that a friend and I were late for school. I told my friend “don’t worry I got this” then proceeded to get on and ride a motorized suitcase I called an Audi. I completely wiped out going 45 on it and felt fine and just got back on. I don’t know how my brain gets this stuff, but very strange dreams like this are normal for me.
@@edt5498 Nah, that's a myth that has become more popular since "Inception". I've told dream characters in my lucid dreams that it was all just a dream and they were characters in it, and they either looked at me with an "Uhoh, she's gone crazy!" expression, politely changed the subject or just told me gently that I was mistaken and this was not a dream. None of them reacted with aggression. You need to keep in mind that they are just projections of your subconscious and have no thoughts, wishes, beliefs or fears of their own, so they will only become hostile if a part if you believes and expects that is going to happen. It can be difficult to remind yourself of that, because they seem so real, but they are not sentient beings.
I remember a couple dreams. 1. One time I went into the sewers with a group of strangers, but there was a gigantic room with a bottomless pit and only a blue and red roller coaster without the carts going different ways over the abyss. We split up and climbed them endlessly. I was 12. 2. I was in a school bus with 2 of my friends and 1 of them was driving. We were going to a mountain, but my friend drove off the road into the water. She opened the bus door and I swam out and grabbed the side of the bus, but it flipped over and flung me into the air. Even though I was flying, I felt like I was falling and I woke up. I was 13. 3. On a mountain, there was a talking statue, and I caught fish from a pond that cost $5 a fish. I was 13. 4. I had a dream where I was walking and there was a giant hole with evil Princess Bubblegum trying to kill me. I woke myself up immediately and I was scared and under my blanket. I was 6. 5. I was sitting on the toilet peeing and then I woke up peeing. I was 5.
Dream is reality, reality is a dream. You are real and real is fake. Real and fake cancel out to give nothingness. So, this all is nothing, just nothing. Universe is fooling us.
You know that feeling where you are in a dream and it was a really good one and was heading towards a really good direction when suddenly something wakes you up, and you're like oh sh**, need to close my eyes rn and keep the cinema playing! Before it's over and destroyed... But in the end, opening your eyes suddenly changes your state of consciousness and the ticket guy kicks you outta the cinema... And your awake
Yeah it sucks I was back in high school and In a soccer game it felt so good and everyone was happy jjst miss that shit made me realize I gotta get back to that
Be not afeard; the isle is full of noises, Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight, and hurt not. Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments Will hum about mine ears; and sometime voices, That, if I then had waked after long sleep, Will make me sleep again: and then, in dreaming, The clouds methought would open, and show riches Ready to drop upon me; that, *when I waked, I cried to dream again.*
I love how he explores the different theories behind why we dream. From Freud's wild ideas to more scientific explanations, he covers it all. And it's not just boring facts - he keeps it engaging with cool visuals and examples that make you go, "Whoa, I never thought of it like that!" Plus, the video gets you thinking about your own dreams and what they might mean. Like, have you ever had a dream that felt so real you woke up questioning if it actually happened? Overall, "Why Do We Dream" is one of those videos that makes you go down a rabbit hole of thought. It's entertaining, educational, and leaves you pondering the mysteries of the human brain. Definitely worth a watch if you're into mind-bending stuff!
@@thestig6212 Not lying, very much possible. My alarm went off and I registered it as my dog barking in a dream instead of an alarm. Weird sounding dog, but it's a dream, so you don't question it.
A year ago I had a dream, and I knew that I was dreaming. I was talking to my friend, she made me angry, and I removed her from my dream. That was awesome. :D
@@thegreatnihil7854 If you say u cannot dream, maybe u actually had a dream but forget about it as soon as you wake up. But that doesn't mean it's a bad thing, some people just don't have any dreams and live a normal live.
I've become aware that I'm dreaming many times in dreams, but I can't ever seem to gain control over my dreams. I mean, I can control MYSELF, but I can't control any of the rest of it. I've even had dreams where I was speaking other languages, playing my piano flawlessly, even a few times attending Hogwarts, and once I become aware in my dream I can no longer understand that language, my perfect playing crumbles and even becomes worse than my waking playing, I am no longer able to perform magic. Becoming aware in my dreams brings all real world physics and abilities back into play for me, and it is kind of frustrating. A couple of times upon becoming aware I just end up waking up mere moments later and end up forgetting what I was dreaming about, other than that I had become aware right at the end of it.
true to wake up from a dream that your stuck in kill yourself in that dream or jump of of lets say a bridge it works for me if i get stuck in a dream and that i am aware that i’m it
Dream control is a separate skill from getting lucid. Dreams are based off of expectations, and we are so used to real-world physics. How often do you snap your fingers in waking life and make something magical happen? It can take some practice before getting skilled at dream control and programming your mind to understand that rules are different in dreams : )
Omfg, I once had this dream where I was swimming underwater. In my dream was swimming for about 2 minutes and then my dream stopped and I woke up. I then realized I was holding my breath the whole time, my lungs and heart were pounding, and i almost passed out
I lucid dream every single night. During highschool I was especially stressed out just because. There were times where I'd have a lucid nightmare and I'd wake up only to be awake in the same nightmare, and I mean fully awake and able to move. At one point I had to go fetal position in the corner of my room until the nightmare was gone, usually lasted about 10 seconds after waking up. I've had everything from waking up to a bat flying above my head, to some form of this just black demon/unworldly creature just watching me
Nismo Gaming omg yes one time i had a dream that someone was crawling through the window the one i slept in my moms bed and i tried screaming and i couldn’t so instead i scream in real life and wake everyone in the house up? has this happened to anyone else??
Ya, this was when I was younger. So apparently there was this stuff alligator that’s on the stairs slowly turning it’s head to me each step I take. I tried telling “mom!” But I couldn’t say it. I felt like I was going to throw up each time I tried to talk
I’ve always said to people that I think we dream to prepare us for things that will happen in the future, so we’ve already experienced the feeling in our dreams, then we can cope with it better in our real life
eastervan1 it's always nice to trip balls and have a big weekend. Mescaline for the win!! But being sleep deprived and tripping is like asking for a bad trip. Always stay well rested when experimenting!! Safety first :)
It's been 8 years since this video came out and this is actually incredibly useful for my ap studio investigation about this topic. Thanks Michael and vsauce for having a backlog of super interesting videos on a variety of topics.
I’m coming off anxiety medication and am experiencing extremely vivid dreams, I can even remember a dream from yesterday and could draw it now. I’m not endorsing abusing medication, but it’s really helping my creativity.
Me: *Knows michael breaks into everyone's houses and watches the people sleep* Michael: *Breaks into my house* Me: *Wakes up* Also me: Hey Michael, you broke into my house. Michael: Or did I?
its cuz a girl michael was in love with dumped him saying he was too creepy, but in reality he just probably acted super anxious and so the primal part of her brain found the unconfidence to be a total, utter turn-off..
Caleb Kirschbaum I thought the guy was just kidding, but when I saw his body language when he said it, I knew right then that he was serious as a heart attack. I wished he had elaborated further but he didn't.
1:48 done this a couple times, its the most terrifying thing I've ever experienced to this day. Imagine waking up and being unable to open your eyes or even manually control your breathing, instant fight or flight panic exept you can't do ether because you can't move.
An interesting thing I’ve noticed is when I’m light sleeping say in the living room, and A loud noise gets made all of the sudden it wakes me up but in my dream something happens to where I knew the loud noise was coming a sec before I heard it. It’s like while unconscious I was still aware of my body’s surroundings if not actually knowing what was about to happen before it did...
sometimes I am seeing a dream, then I wake up for a few minutes and when I sleep again the dream continueses from the moment it stopped. pretty weird, am I the only?
Yeah, that happens to me too! When I woke up, I wanted to go back to sleep, and when I fell asleep again I was dreaming from where my last dream left off!!!
I had a dream where I could do anything I want and I woke up an thought I could continue doing whatever I want at least for a few seconds. Than I was bummed.
+Legendententertainment There are two types of lucid dreaming: general lucid dreaming, and crystallized lucid dreaming. General lucid dreaming is the mainstream definition: being aware that you're dreaming while you're dreaming. This phenomenon can come and go. Crystallized lucid dreaming is much more rare, and is permanent and essentially is the "control" that you seek. This is the part of lucid dreaming that takes time and practice to master, and once attained it is irreversible. There are 6 levels to crystallized lucid dreaming: 1. Live conscious long term memory encoding while dreaming 2. Metaconsciousness while dreaming 3. Wakelike control of thinking while dreaming 4. Wakelike motor control of self while dreaming 5. Wakelike situational awareness while dreaming 6. Wakelike environmental (setting) awareness while dreaming Each level corresponds to more lucidity and more control while dreaming. It is similar to being Neo in the Matrix.
+Diwas Upadhyay I'm not sure what you're talking about. It sounds like you're having a wake -induced vivid dream. Sometimes, if you wake up from a deeper sleep and then go back to sleep again and dream, you would have "injected wakfulness" into that dream so you're partially asleep having a micro-awakening. This can cause dreams to be very vivid. The other aspect of the dream repeating seems just like a reoccurring dream, which is very common, and usually means there is something stress and bothersome on your mind.
+Mounir Baroudi i once had a crystalized lucid dream and after jumping from my 10th floor balcony and killing everyone in my way to my school i kissed my crush... Is that normal or do i have to visit a shrink, psychopath or sth? Lol.
I told my friends long ago that i would be the person to solve the riddle to as to why people dream. I use to have dream journal as a teen. I would write it down everytime i had a Lucid Dream. The pages got thicker as time gone. I remember one time as a teenager, me and my friends use to cause each other how to faint. We would breathe hard for 30 seconds then the last breath, we would hold it. Then someone would push into our chest until we fainted. I remember my friend Ted fainting. He remembers a dream where he was on an air balloon. And i was in his dream. A version of me told him that he, Ted, was dreaming. That it was time for him to wake up. As he was admiring the scenic view. Next was my turn. I don't remember what i dreamt. We did this due to a movie we saw: Flatliners. In the movies the characters purposely die then revitalizes themselves. They end up seeing ghosts later on
When I was around the age of 8 or 9 I used to tell I was dreaming, and would force myself to awake just by opening my eyes. To me it felt like I was entering another dimension, as if I lost control of my movement though was able to control it anyways. I could never remember the dream itself, but the whole experience I could never forget. It was as if the inside of my eyelids displayed images and opening my eyes cut it in half, though reality was complete darkness, until it phased back in. Crazy, I know. It happened to me a few times and then I just had regular dreams after that, some dreams even being that I knew I was in a dream, but wouldn't have the will to do anything. Oh yeah and once I had a dream I could control, but I fooled myself potentially and probably will never have the opportunity again. I can remember wanting to do something, but then thinking: "Wait a minute this doesn't feel right, how tf can I control my dreams?" Well anything I wanted to happen didn't after that, and just awoke kicking myself because I thought my thoughts prevented the thoughts I wanted to have!
I just become lucid and if I'm lucky I can try to reason with them like I was hiding from a guy with a knife in a dream once and I knew they were waiting for me to peek from under this bed mattress I was hiding under and I just got tired of waiting for him to get me so I got out from under the mattress and exclaimed "Okay I'm getting bored let's get this over with already." and then he stabbed me in my right side.
I hate when I'm dreaming and I had a really good dream about this girl I liked and we were talking on a ledge and it was really romantic and then I woke up I felt so depressed lol
I haven't had any lucid dreams before, but I've had a few 4th wall breaking ones. In one dream, I was at school and a dangerous dog was on the loose. A teacher asked me to take care of the problem, and I said something like, "Oh it's no big deal, this'll all be over when I wake up". I woke up shortly afterwards
I used to have 4th wall breaks in dreams every night during a time particularly filled with existential dread. It always felt like foreign entities, or "spirits", occupied the space, and I was a foreign outsider. Like "there's nothing here for you, return to where you came from, this world is empty". It was more disturbing than actual nightmares sometimes, and the feeling of derealization persisted beyond these ethereal dreams. I recall quite vividly one dream, of exclusively blue and violet hues, of a vapourwave plane/grid, set outside of time. I was sitting down with this otherworldly, physically unimposing being that told me it was time to go, that I didn't belong here, and I can't keep coming back. Those particular eerily 4th-wall-breaking dreams mostly ended after that, but they were like scopophobia for the soul. I'm not spiritual, and I believe it all occurred within my mind, but it sure didn't feel like it was set upon my own stage.
I always ♾ find dreams have inferable, hidden information 🕵🕵🕵 that is not directly perceived 🤐🤐🤐 about the dream world 🌍🌍🌍. E.g. Character 👤🪞 motivations ❓, modus/modi operandi 🛣🛣🛣, the validity ✅❌ of a statement 📑 within the dream, etc. Dreams 💤 are primarily logic 🤔 puzzles 🧩🧩🧩. I think the answer to this is that you in the dream are using a dream to communicate with someone else. Though one needs details to make a definite inference. That is why writing dreams down helps.
Last night I dreamed I had just remarried my husband in a small chapel in what seemed to be Italy, and at the Reception he was talking to his mother and siblings nonstop to the point I asked myself “what I am doing here”, so I go and start to wander around the area, with beautiful and detailed trees that I had no idea my brain could ever reproduce. By then, I re-enter the chapel and start to explore it more and more. That’s when I find out that the more I go upstairs towards the top of the highest tower, the more painted frames I find on my way (???) with all sorts of paintings from the Renaissance period, until suddenly I find out that the frames are actually small windows that lead me to alternate places. Mind you, I’m still wearing my wedding gown. One of these frames lead me to a kitchen with pre colonial decoration as well as old appliances, and in my mind all of that makes sense because I’m still in that small chapel in Italy so these rooms must be somewhat connected. At this point, I witness a man wearing an apron and a piece of cloth covering his whole face as he goes and kills the bride in front of me before killing me. And that’s when I wake up. I have vivid dreams, the craziest ones and believe it or not, I remember 90% of them with impressive accuracy! I wish I was the object of study to some scientists cause I have no idea what happens to my head… maybe sleeping 7-8h a night every night is doing the magic, maybe reporting to my loved ones all the dreams I have out of fun also helps me keep track of them. Maybe not. One way or another, I wish I knew it

As someone who experienced lucid dreaming for a long time, my first time lucid dreaming was a bit of a scary experience to me. Not only can I physically move my body but it feels like it's actually happening. I caused this thing where I "become my dream" and it was very hard for me to focus and after a while I have gotten used to lucid dream and the thing about it is that I started doing it at day and night, but then the lucid dreaming got to a point where I started to feel like I am not in a dream but rather another world and then I started doing crazy stuff (I think you would know what I'm talking about) and The people I do it with are people I know in real life and it made me more confident but I changed. Like I said, I started "becoming my dream" and the me from my lucid dreams became me in real life and because of that, people have been avoiding me and my friends would always say I'm weird. That's when I started noticing myself and what I'm doing and what I'm saying. Then I have been getting very scared of just absolutely refuse to go outside and talk to people. I still lucid dream, which I am fine with, but I haven't regularly dreamed in a while. If you are planning on lucid dreaming, please don't make the same mistakes I have made.

I was a victim of some pretty sick child abuse and neglect for a nine year period, starting when I was 4, and had many many extremely vivid nightmares during those years, most of which I still remember all too well at the age of 63. They mainly dealt with themes of isolation and helplessness. I also had night terrors as a small child for awhile. They're sort of hallucinations that occur just as one is falling asleep. In the night terrors I was always being chased by white circles. Why white circles? Beats me.
When I was 8 I had a dream that was comprised of snippets of a bunch other dreams all glued together, all unrelated. These little snippets were mostly very mundane, not vivid like some other dreams I was having, and were separated by brief images of swirls of mist. It was pretty weird. About two weeks later I was in a house where I'd never been before (my cousin took me over to a friends house, someone I'd never met before.) He showed us his fish tank and I happened to mention something about one of the fishes' tails. The moment the words left my mouth I had the strongest feeling of deja vu I've ever had. And then I remembered I had said those exact same words about the fish's tail in one of those dream segments from two weeks earlier. I remembered the dream segment clearly. I know this sounds crazy, but I think I had a clairvoyant dream! I wonder if this is what deja vu actually is, partially remembering a dream that's somehow been replicated in real life. Food for thought I guess.
There was a period as a young man when my dreams were affected by my experimentation with hallucinogenics. Had some dreams where I was feeling the hallucinogenic effects in the dream. These were sometimes quite epic and fantastical. Sometimes these dreams had long plots I could remember afterwards that included an especially epic segment, sort of the highlight of the dream, that would repeat in other dreams with different plots, and at other times it was more like an uncontrolled subconscious swirl of emotions, colors, sounds and sights. I also had dreams during this period which were so realistic that I was convinced I was not dreaming, but awake. In one of those dreams my buddies and I were cruising around in a car as we often did back then. I happened to be sitting in the back seat when we hit a semi and my skull got crushed. I sat straight up in bed and experienced hallucinogenic effects for about 10 minutes.
Later when I was in my thirties I had repeated episodes of sleep paralysis accompanied by hallucinations like the strong feeling that someone was standing over me with a knife and a weird unsettling sound, sort of like a scream or squeal that gets progressively louder and induces more panic the louder it gets. I'd have to try to shake myself out of paralysis by *trying* to thrash about, and I'd try to scream for help, for my wife to shake me awake and could only mumble weakly. Eventually i was able to shake myself out of it but it sometimes took a long time and was quite exhausting.
Fortunately it's been at least 20 years since I've had problematic dreams. Nowadays I only remember the occasional dream, rarely have unpleasant dreams, and more often than not wake up with only a very vague impression or echo of a dream but can't remember details.

does anyone else sometimes have dreams where they're aware that they're dreaming but can't control what they're doing? and also dreams where you're aware and can force yourself to wake up?
Yes only when I had nightmares I was able to shut my eyes, then bam I wake up
Yeah, i used to do it more when I was younger. When I realized what it was I started using my lucid dreams more productively. Since your mind operates in a similar fashion to how you would be awake, i started practicing stuff like piano or just doing cool stuff, since your mind can contribute those skills to muscle memory i improved some skill in those areas. I also liked to focus and completely recreate a memory or story. The interesting thing about that is that lucid dreaming either ends with you waking up or fading back into a regular dream as you lose control. So the story can kinda run itself. I used to also yell "this is a dream" if i figured out I was just having a nightmare, then I would wake up
Sometimes, getting better with it tho

BananaGrabber ok i got somthing wierd i was dreaming that a was somewhere and one of the teachers was telling us something. next day on a place whre i never was and never had seen... exectly the same this as in the dream. exact same placd words teacher. whaaaaaaaat? can yo explane? it's confusing how this could happen.
I sometimes lucid dream, it happened a few days ago, but whenever I realize I'm dreaming, I'm like "hey wait i can do whatever..." and then have no idea what to do. In a dream, your senses are much more foggy, and thinking straight is hard, so it's hard to control your dream even if you know you can, and if you do, it's not really very fun due to the nature of dreams. You can tell no one is real. Also, most of my dreams are lucid, but you also forget a lot of stuff in your dreams, so even if I know it's a dream, I rarely remember I can control it. Whenever I realise i can control the dream, much of the dream has already passed, and since idk what to do in it, I kinda just let the dream play out until I forget I can control it. Although sometimes I make myself run really fast or fly around. Last dream I had, I was in a dangerous situation and then I remembered i could control it and made myself super fast and the gas gas gas meme was in my head at the time so I ran from the monster singing "gas gas gas" then tried to spawn in a radio playing it to make it funnier, but unfortunately, I couldn't manage to do it, it's often hard to do the thing because you don't really know how other than imagining it. One time, I was flying in my dream, then was like... how do I do this again? I basically forgot how to do it because to fly forwards I had to imagine it, not do it. And it was very confusing. Also, because most of my dreams are lucid, even nightmares don't scare me because I know it's a dream, and I can just tell whatever is tryna kill me "hey uhhh i dont really care because ill either just respawn or wake up since this is a dream" and the thing sometimes doesn't react to the information or goes oh I'm in a dream? One time I was in an intense fight with some sort of giant lizard then paused and said "wait why are we doing this again, this is all a dream" then he said idk and we both thought for a second. Then I came to the conclusion "lets just keep fighting its kinda fun" and the dream continued.

When I was 9, in 2004, a tsunami hit our hometown on the eve of Christmas and caused massive destruction. Since then, I've had nightmares about huge waves sweeping me into the sea. These dreams always drowned me in my sleep. But for some time now, these dreams have become lucid. I can now control the outcome of the dreams and make them positive ones where I am not swept away into the sea.

When I practiced lucid dreaming, I would keep a dream journal and write down everything I could immediately remember once I woke up. I did that everyday and eventually I was able to remember more of my dreams in more detail. Sometimes I even had fully lucid dreams, very fun.
Why writing down? I always go trough my dreams after I wake up and trough the day sometimes but I still don’t get why writing it down? What does it change
@@chuunibyu it can help you remember more details and dreams the more often you do it. Plus when you start to write your dreams down you can start to notice patterns sometimes or specific things that may have happened in the dream which can help keep your mind focused on those types of things next time you sleep. The more you can recognized these things while dreaming, then the better chance you have at becoming lucid. I started out by counting each finger on my hand while I was awake, while simultaneously touching the fingers. You can also try looking at a clock and reading the time aloud. This can become a muscle memory so when you do it in your dream you will notice that something is off from the norm. For example when you dream you might notice that you have an extra finger or are missing one during your count, or the clock could look strange and not make sense. This is sort of like a trigger for you to realize you are dreaming and to take control.
Has anyone had a dream where you pee in the toilet but you end up peeing in real life.
I had a dream once and woke up on my toilet when I was like 7-9 yrs old
@@envvy9214 When I was 7=10ish I woke up on the floor. Pillow, blankets, and all.
yeah,,,,,
I was seven :(
yep when i was younger it happened a lot
Me: Whoah, that dream felt so weird, what was it about?
My brain: Good question.
Imagine you're sleeping and suddenly wake up in the middle of the night to a figure watching you. And the figure says:
*Hey Vsauce, Michael here*
AG Pink Panda that would scare me for sec when I see him and then when he talks I’d calm down and get a beer with him
I'm thinking the only thing that could make it even scarier -- HE HAS NO CAMERA WITH HIM
AAAAH D:
Years ago I would have pretty unsettling dreams from time to time. Then I saw a tv show on dreams and one doctor talked about how we have way more power over our dreams than we think we do. If things are coming at you, dangers and frightening things, then just decide to fight back. Go after the bad in your dreams. It totally worked, and I realized I could then in turn make my dreams far more pleasant. I maybe have had one unpleasant dream in the past several years. I never worry about dreaming anymore. If you worry about it, it does become a self fulfilling prophecy so to speak.
I watch why we dream
As I stay awake on a school night
Same
Me too
It is 3 AM right now...

I've gotten into the habit of writing down my dreams as soon as I wake up from them. Sometimes I'm so sleepy when I write notes in the middle of the night, I wake up to check them in the morning and I can't understand what I wrote 😂
Same
Picking up on this habit👌
same exactly. it’s so entertaining to remember what i dreamt
You're cute asf not gunna lie @morrison_1031
I’ve been doing this for 2 years
But the entries are rare,bcuz i only remember dreams,like 2 times in a week,and like u,I’ll fall asleep while memorizing a dream I just had lol

I had a dream last night that a friend and I were late for school. I told my friend “don’t worry I got this” then proceeded to get on and ride a motorized suitcase I called an Audi.

You think that's strange, I dreamed that I was flying a teardrop shaped helicopter where the teardrop was a seat
Lucid dreaming is the best thing to experience ever. It’s just you and your own world and you control it
@Ronan Smith yea but, you have thousands upon thousands of tries. and plus i believe you can make it seem longer (although not be longer)
@Ronan Smith half hour at max.
but it’s also dangerous because the people in your dream think their real and if you say they aren’t.. we’ll don’t
@@edt5498 Nah, that's a myth that has become more popular since "Inception". I've told dream characters in my lucid dreams that it was all just a dream and they were characters in it, and they either looked at me with an "Uhoh, she's gone crazy!" expression, politely changed the subject or just told me gently that I was mistaken and this was not a dream. None of them reacted with aggression. You need to keep in mind that they are just projections of your subconscious and have no thoughts, wishes, beliefs or fears of their own, so they will only become hostile if a part if you believes and expects that is going to happen. It can be difficult to remind yourself of that, because they seem so real, but they are not sentient beings.

I remember a couple dreams.
1. One time I went into the sewers with a group of strangers, but there was a gigantic room with a bottomless pit and only a blue and red roller coaster without the carts going different ways over the abyss. We split up and climbed them endlessly. I was 12.
2. I was in a school bus with 2 of my friends and 1 of them was driving. We were going to a mountain, but my friend drove off the road into the water. She opened the bus door and I swam out and grabbed the side of the bus, but it flipped over and flung me into the air. Even though I was flying, I felt like I was falling and I woke up. I was 13.
3. On a mountain, there was a talking statue, and I caught fish from a pond that cost $5 a fish. I was 13.
4. I had a dream where I was walking and there was a giant hole with evil Princess Bubblegum trying to kill me. I woke myself up immediately and I was scared and under my blanket. I was 6.
5. I was sitting on the toilet peeing and then I woke up peeing. I was 5.
U spent a whole lot of time writing this comment and not much people liked it😂
I know sad :((
Lol, interesting stuff there. My brother had a sleepwalk dream he was peeing. We had a bunk bed and he peed on me! 😂
Dream is reality, reality is a dream. You are real and real is fake. Real and fake cancel out to give nothingness. So, this all is nothing, just nothing. Universe is fooling us.
Ive had the dream well felt so real woke up to pissed in my bed when i was young i was walking to toilet and woke up bed wet
Wtf brain thanks
You know that feeling where you are in a dream and it was a really good one and was heading towards a really good direction when suddenly something wakes you up, and you're like oh sh**, need to close my eyes rn and keep the cinema playing! Before it's over and destroyed... But in the end, opening your eyes suddenly changes your state of consciousness and the ticket guy kicks you outta the cinema... And your awake
Yea that always sucks
Yeah it sucks I was back in high school and In a soccer game it felt so good and everyone was happy jjst miss that shit made me realize I gotta get back to that
Be not afeard; the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight, and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears; and sometime voices,
That, if I then had waked after long sleep,
Will make me sleep again: and then, in dreaming,
The clouds methought would open, and show riches
Ready to drop upon me; that, *when I waked,
I cried to dream again.*
I actually managed to get back into the dream once
Hi
I love how he explores the different theories behind why we dream. From Freud's wild ideas to more scientific explanations, he covers it all. And it's not just boring facts - he keeps it engaging with cool visuals and examples that make you go, "Whoa, I never thought of it like that!" Plus, the video gets you thinking about your own dreams and what they might mean. Like, have you ever had a dream that felt so real you woke up questioning if it actually happened? Overall, "Why Do We Dream" is one of those videos that makes you go down a rabbit hole of thought. It's entertaining, educational, and leaves you pondering the mysteries of the human brain. Definitely worth a watch if you're into mind-bending stuff!
One time I was dreaming and my alarm went off. In my dream I was a DJ remixing it. 😂

@@thegreatnihil7854 you don’t sleep enough
I've become aware that I'm dreaming many times in dreams, but I can't ever seem to gain control over my dreams. I mean, I can control MYSELF, but I can't control any of the rest of it. I've even had dreams where I was speaking other languages, playing my piano flawlessly, even a few times attending Hogwarts, and once I become aware in my dream I can no longer understand that language, my perfect playing crumbles and even becomes worse than my waking playing, I am no longer able to perform magic. Becoming aware in my dreams brings all real world physics and abilities back into play for me, and it is kind of frustrating. A couple of times upon becoming aware I just end up waking up mere moments later and end up forgetting what I was dreaming about, other than that I had become aware right at the end of it.
true to wake up from a dream that your stuck in kill yourself in that dream or jump of of lets say a bridge it works for me if i get stuck in a dream and that i am aware that i’m it
Dream control is a separate skill from getting lucid. Dreams are based off of expectations, and we are so used to real-world physics. How often do you snap your fingers in waking life and make something magical happen? It can take some practice before getting skilled at dream control and programming your mind to understand that rules are different in dreams : )
it’s all about expectations, it’s not a matter of asking for something to happen, it’s a matter of EXPECTING it because then you know it will happen
I have vivid dreams where it’s almost like I’m awake but I’m totally unaware I’m dreaming.
Omfg, I once had this dream where I was swimming underwater. In my dream was swimming for about 2 minutes and then my dream stopped and I woke up. I then realized I was holding my breath the whole time, my lungs and heart were pounding, and i almost passed out
Remember kids! Do not trust your dreams.
They might kill you.
I have something similar. I would sleep face down in my pillow and when I would have nightmares I would try to open my eyes but would not be able to.
TheBossOf YT maybe you have sleep apnea
That sounds like it shouldn't happen again if not its a problem
You had lucid dream gotta be careful they can be dandous
Anyone had a dream that was so scary, u couldn’t talk or scream
I lucid dream every single night. During highschool I was especially stressed out just because. There were times where I'd have a lucid nightmare and I'd wake up only to be awake in the same nightmare, and I mean fully awake and able to move.
At one point I had to go fetal position in the corner of my room until the nightmare was gone, usually lasted about 10 seconds after waking up. I've had everything from waking up to a bat flying above my head, to some form of this just black demon/unworldly creature just watching me
Nismo Gaming omg yes one time i had a dream that someone was crawling through the window the one i slept in my moms bed and i tried screaming and i couldn’t so instead i scream in real life and wake everyone in the house up? has this happened to anyone else??
yeah happened to me too that shit was the scariest I experienced in my whole life fucking shit I can't expressed in words how terrifying it was
Nick Z that’s terrifying!
Ya, this was when I was younger. So apparently there was this stuff alligator that’s on the stairs slowly turning it’s head to me each step I take. I tried telling “mom!” But I couldn’t say it. I felt like I was going to throw up each time I tried to talk

So sleeping is like saving your progress
+Hyena yes, but sometimes you can't manually save. AutoSaves occur when you achieve something, like staying awake for 56 hours.
+eastervan1 or by taking crazy amounts of sleep pills
bob I stayed up for 40 hours this past weekend because I tripped my balls off for 14 of those hours
eastervan1 it's always nice to trip balls and have a big weekend. Mescaline for the win!! But being sleep deprived and tripping is like asking for a bad trip. Always stay well rested when experimenting!! Safety first :)

An interesting thing I’ve noticed is when I’m light sleeping say in the living room, and A loud noise gets made all of the sudden it wakes me up but in my dream something happens to where I knew the loud noise was coming a sec before I heard it. It’s like while unconscious I was still aware of my body’s surroundings if not actually knowing what was about to happen before it did...

sometimes it doesn't resume but it is in the same place with the same people but it's a different ""plot"
What about dreams where you know you're dreaming but can't control it?
Sophia Zhao
Me too
Ye like I couldn't do what I wanted to but I didn't know I was asleep
You can't control it because ld is not enough. You need to also convince yourself that the reality surrounding you is not real :)
It's still lucid dreaming, you just need to practice.
Sophia Zhao maybe a vivid dream
Quick correction of Michael at 1:31 . Ever wondered why “REM atopia” isn’t present on the internet? That’s because he misread the word “atonia”….

Some times before I wake up I realize I'm dreaming but I can't control all the things around me and I normally just do what the dream wants me too
Legendententertainment that happens to me all the time :D
+Legendententertainment There are two types of lucid dreaming: general lucid dreaming, and crystallized lucid dreaming. General lucid dreaming is the mainstream definition: being aware that you're dreaming while you're dreaming. This phenomenon can come and go. Crystallized lucid dreaming is much more rare, and is permanent and essentially is the "control" that you seek. This is the part of lucid dreaming that takes time and practice to master, and once attained it is irreversible.
There are 6 levels to crystallized lucid dreaming:
1. Live conscious long term memory encoding while dreaming
2. Metaconsciousness while dreaming
3. Wakelike control of thinking while dreaming
4. Wakelike motor control of self while dreaming
5. Wakelike situational awareness while dreaming
6. Wakelike environmental (setting) awareness while dreaming
Each level corresponds to more lucidity and more control while dreaming. It is similar to being Neo in the Matrix.
Thats because your brain takes time to realize what is happening around you
+Diwas Upadhyay I'm not sure what you're talking about. It sounds like you're having a wake -induced vivid dream. Sometimes, if you wake up from a deeper sleep and then go back to sleep again and dream, you would have "injected wakfulness" into that dream so you're partially asleep having a micro-awakening. This can cause dreams to be very vivid.
The other aspect of the dream repeating seems just like a reoccurring dream, which is very common, and usually means there is something stress and bothersome on your mind.
+Mounir Baroudi i once had a crystalized lucid dream and after jumping from my 10th floor balcony and killing everyone in my way to my school i kissed my crush... Is that normal or do i have to visit a shrink, psychopath or sth? Lol.
At 1:40 I lost it. The way that guy thrashed around in his bed was too funny.

I told my friends long ago that i would be the person to solve the riddle to as to why people dream. I use to have dream journal as a teen. I would write it down everytime i had a Lucid Dream. The pages got thicker as time gone.
I remember one time as a teenager, me and my friends use to cause each other how to faint. We would breathe hard for 30 seconds then the last breath, we would hold it. Then someone would push into our chest until we fainted. I remember my friend Ted fainting. He remembers a dream where he was on an air balloon. And i was in his dream. A version of me told him that he, Ted, was dreaming. That it was time for him to wake up. As he was admiring the scenic view. Next was my turn. I don't remember what i dreamt. We did this due to a movie we saw: Flatliners. In the movies the characters purposely die then revitalizes themselves. They end up seeing ghosts later on
"You should try it when looking at people sleep... like I do."
XD lmao
I've had Lucid dreams. I know I'm in a dream and I suddenly can control time and space...
But only for a short period. Then I awake
Start to spin in your dreams, it works to keep you asleep
I've heard and read that getting too exited about whatever you're doing might wake you up, and take Scayds advice, that helps
You can also rub your hands together really fast and it helps you stay asleep.
in your dream you think it's quick but it's actually hours in real life. weird thing about dreams. there's no time
When I was around the age of 8 or 9 I used to tell I was dreaming, and would force myself to awake just by opening my eyes. To me it felt like I was entering another dimension, as if I lost control of my movement though was able to control it anyways.
I could never remember the dream itself, but the whole experience I could never forget. It was as if the inside of my eyelids displayed images and opening my eyes cut it in half, though reality was complete darkness, until it phased back in.
Crazy, I know. It happened to me a few times and then I just had regular dreams after that, some dreams even being that I knew I was in a dream, but wouldn't have the will to do anything.
Oh yeah and once I had a dream I could control, but I fooled myself potentially and probably will never have the opportunity again. I can remember wanting to do something, but then thinking: "Wait a minute this doesn't feel right, how tf can I control my dreams?" Well anything I wanted to happen didn't after that, and just awoke kicking myself because I thought my thoughts prevented the thoughts I wanted to have!
When I'm dreaming something scary I just close my eyes hard and I'm not in the dream
I just keep telling myself that I’m not awake and that I’m dreaming usually wakes me up
Will idk , for me its easy to leave my dreams
Bumble Bee same for but sometimes it doesn't have to be scary
I used to be able to do the exact same thing as kid, squeezing my eyes together would always make me wake up
I just become lucid and if I'm lucky I can try to reason with them like I was hiding from a guy with a knife in a dream once and I knew they were waiting for me to peek from under this bed mattress I was hiding under and I just got tired of waiting for him to get me so I got out from under the mattress and exclaimed "Okay I'm getting bored let's get this over with already." and then he stabbed me in my right side.

I haven't had any lucid dreams before, but I've had a few 4th wall breaking ones. In one dream, I was at school and a dangerous dog was on the loose. A teacher asked me to take care of the problem, and I said something like, "Oh it's no big deal, this'll all be over when I wake up". I woke up shortly afterwards
lol
Gaining consciousness inside of a dream - happened to me a lot of times. It's such a The Matrix type of shit.
@@dead.inside.585that’s how it starts. You keep doing that and eventually you’ll be able to lucid dream.
I used to have 4th wall breaks in dreams every night during a time particularly filled with existential dread. It always felt like foreign entities, or "spirits", occupied the space, and I was a foreign outsider. Like "there's nothing here for you, return to where you came from, this world is empty". It was more disturbing than actual nightmares sometimes, and the feeling of derealization persisted beyond these ethereal dreams. I recall quite vividly one dream, of exclusively blue and violet hues, of a vapourwave plane/grid, set outside of time. I was sitting down with this otherworldly, physically unimposing being that told me it was time to go, that I didn't belong here, and I can't keep coming back. Those particular eerily 4th-wall-breaking dreams mostly ended after that, but they were like scopophobia for the soul. I'm not spiritual, and I believe it all occurred within my mind, but it sure didn't feel like it was set upon my own stage.
I always ♾ find dreams have inferable, hidden information 🕵🕵🕵 that is not directly perceived 🤐🤐🤐 about the dream world 🌍🌍🌍. E.g. Character 👤🪞 motivations ❓, modus/modi operandi 🛣🛣🛣, the validity ✅❌ of a statement 📑 within the dream, etc.
Dreams 💤 are primarily logic 🤔 puzzles 🧩🧩🧩.
I think the answer to this is that you in the dream are using a dream to communicate with someone else. Though one needs details to make a definite inference. That is why writing dreams down helps.

¨Alright michael, just walk out of frame for a second so we can do this shot.¨
Last night I dreamed I had just remarried my husband in a small chapel in what seemed to be Italy, and at the Reception he was talking to his mother and siblings nonstop to the point I asked myself “what I am doing here”, so I go and start to wander around the area, with beautiful and detailed trees that I had no idea my brain could ever reproduce. By then, I re-enter the chapel and start to explore it more and more. That’s when I find out that the more I go upstairs towards the top of the highest tower, the more painted frames I find on my way (???) with all sorts of paintings from the Renaissance period, until suddenly I find out that the frames are actually small windows that lead me to alternate places. Mind you, I’m still wearing my wedding gown. One of these frames lead me to a kitchen with pre colonial decoration as well as old appliances, and in my mind all of that makes sense because I’m still in that small chapel in Italy so these rooms must be somewhat connected. At this point, I witness a man wearing an apron and a piece of cloth covering his whole face as he goes and kills the bride in front of me before killing me. And that’s when I wake up. I have vivid dreams, the craziest ones and believe it or not, I remember 90% of them with impressive accuracy! I wish I was the object of study to some scientists cause I have no idea what happens to my head… maybe sleeping 7-8h a night every night is doing the magic, maybe reporting to my loved ones all the dreams I have out of fun also helps me keep track of them. Maybe not. One way or another, I wish I knew it
1:04 you can actually see this happening if you watch people sleep
(Like I Usually Do)
And what's wrong with that?
yeah that's what he says
