This video was acquired by the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and it's permanently displayed there as a piece of video art. The song talks about leaving the conscious world and entering the unconsciousness into an altered state of mind, the video recreates several painting by surreal artists Remedios Varo and Dorothea Tanning, and it deals with the theme of the song. The spinning box for example was taken from the movie Hellraiser, that is about a puzzle box that opens the doors to another state of perception beyond the human limits of experience. The spinning dancers are called dervishes. In sufism (the mystical side of Islam) they say that when the dervishes twirl they get unconscious and they become one with God. The video also contains elements from Jungian psychology such as the representation of the collective unconscious and archetypes. So the whole thing is a journey into the unconscious world, the world of dreams and visions.
Madonna: My "Bedtime Story" video was completely inspired by all the female surrealist painters like Leonora Carrington and Remedios Varo. There's that one shot where my hands are up in the air and stars are spinning around me. And me flying through the hallway with my hair trailing behind me, the birds flying out of my open robe - all of those images were an homage to female surrealist painters; there's a little bit of Frida Kahlo in there, too.
The music video is an homage to several iconic paintings from Remedios Varo to Frida Kahlo, it also had several scenes inspired from Andrei Tarkovsky's 1979 philosophical sci-fi thriller film Stalker. This video is also the 4th most expensive music videos of all time. This video is now at display of The Museum of Modern Arts in New York City. This is also on my "Top 500 Greatest Music Videos" list. The music video is also a direct influence of the films The Cell (2000) and Inception (2010).

Occultism in Bedtime Story video by Madonna 1º At the beginning of clip, we can see 'The All Seeing Eye", the highest symbol of the Illuminattis. This eye welcomes Madonna, by displaying a 'welcome' notice as we see a Madonna going through a sort of trance and heading for a state of 'unconsciousness'. This video refers to a 'cosmic journey' or 'astral travel' which Madonna experiences, in which 'words are useless' and this journey can only be done by means of the mind. 2º Below this notice, we can see the legend "Ciconne, M.", which may mean Ciconne is masonic or "Ciconne, Madonna". 3º The blue liquid running down a crystal tube represents the 'blue blood' or 'cold blood' from the Masons, which finally makes her wake or become 'lucid'. This situation reveals that Madonna is mentally controlled by her Mason Masters, who decide when she must be lucid and when she must not. 4º Madonna is seen singing with a sunflower behind her. This represents the symbol of the Sun, which is usually cult object in Secret Societies and old pagan religions. It is well known that The Sun has been worshiped for thousand years as a pagan god by numerous old civilizations e.g. The Celts, The Egyptians etc. 5º The levitating cube, in another scene, with black and white faces of Madonna is related to the cult to Saturn and Adoration to Satan, then. 6º The animals' skulls floating on a water tank beside a naked Madonna are the highest symbols of the dark elites. This scene may describe the destruction of animals and the ecosystem, since the images suggest that the animales are dead. 7º The doves which come out from a pregnant Madonna are related to 'peace' so this scene may suggest that Madonna will give birth to a Messiah who will bring 'peace' to humanity. Besides, this situation may make fun of 'The Holy Spirit'. 8º The two mirror-headed Madonnas , seated one in front of the other, try to unveil Madonna's multiple personalities, after being exposed to an MK-ultra mental control. 9º Madonna, levitating along a corridor, displays the fact that she has been lifted to a higher level of a Dark Priestess, where she lies above the rest of the Illuminati puppets, represented by the 3 boys who look at her in admiration as she passes flying by. 10º In the minute 3:22, we can see Baphomet represented by a sort of brown glasses with the form of goat which a woman uses to cover her face. This odd glasses seems to represent Baphomet's head. 11º The woman looking up to the sky represents a 'fallen angel' since she is showed with scars on her back where evidently there were wings as well as 'goat legs' instead of human legs. 12º The foot treading on a bunch of grapes on an Arabic scripture may suggest the way wine is made but it may also mean "stepping on 'Jesus Christ's Blood'". 13º In the minute 3:33, which constitutes the masonic number by excellence, Madonna sticks out her tongue at the time when a flashing light comes out from her forehead, showing the opening of her third eye. This means that she receives secrets and gifts from 'the dark magic' as a result of her worshiping her reptilians entities. She opens her mind to the 'Dark Magic'. 14º Madonna falling to an empty space full of stars gives us the idea that 'once she signs the pact with the dark elite, there is no turning back': She has given away her soul to the Devil. 15º Madonna sleeping on a human skeleton, which is watching over her very attentively, means that now Madonna is embraced by The Death itself and that Madonna becomes a living dead: she has no longer a soul so as to become a puppet, losing her consciousness and becoming 'unconscious'. 16º In the minute 4:03, Madonna's face displays lips where normally the eyes should be and an eye where normally a mouth should be. This scene unveils the fact that The Illuminatis will control what she might sing and say as an artist. That is why she sings 'Today is the last day that I'm using words...They are gone now....Lost their meaning....Don't function anymore...." 17º At the end of this video, the 'thank you' notice gives thanks to Madonna for having signed the pact and given away her soul to the Devil. This means that Madonna will give service to 'it' until the end of her living days. 18º 'Bedtime Story' seems to be the last song that Madonna has sung before giving her soul and agreeing to be lifted to the grade of Dark Priestess.

@@christopherdaniel1371 as a fan is my duty to educate people 😂
Yet another example of Madonna's genius
One of the most expensive videos ever made. A beautiful work from Mark Romanek.
It's much older than 10 years it's from the mid 90s.....
Love this song and video!

QUEEN
I love how dangerous the early 90's was for pushing music and music videos. This music video is like watching a moving art painting.
This video of Madonna and MJ's 'Scream' where the most expensive Music videos ever made at that time. Both came out in 1995.
Yay you did my request! It's my favorite music video, not only of hers, but ever!
Thanks for the idea!

the words were written for Madonna by Bjork...which may, in part, explain B.S.'s unique lyrical style.
Amazing👑😍👏
Let's get unconscious on E
“Avatar much?” Oh, you’re sweet, but this was WAY before Avatar.
If the video was in the 90s it might be before even James Cameron came up with it.
Rob Simmons 1995. Avatar was 2009.
