I live for your videos! I check every night! I’m so happy you’re still doing these!!! I’m hoping you’re well and things are ok in your world. Be happy Som.
Hey Somnium, you are doing amazing! Just felt the need to let you know. Listening to your creepypastas, I can function a little bit better in my daily life. Listening to these creepypastas make me feel destressed, and I hope your day goes better than mine, because you already made mine good.
I loved this story, I love it when you never truly know what's going on
Love the video and the meaning of your name! Thank you for all your hard work!
Perfect as always! You are always the one who helps me relax at bedtime! Thank you for what you do for us all! 💙❤👻🎃

You might say he took that shit to another level

I was expecting that the reason why they weren't dreaming was because they were all already in a connected dream together; and the thing that they feel around the room are actually the scientists observing them.
that would've been far more scientifically accurate
Yeah this kind of... Didn't go anywhere.
This is what I thought was happening too
I thought is that it was some kind of predator human can't perceive and sleeping keeps us safe from it, like a rabbits speed against a wolf
@@Piledriver2006 same
Ironic that so many of us would fall asleep while listening to stories like this
These are better than those SMRM (or whatever) videos! Except those have pretty girls in them. but I still fall asleep to these way easier!
swear that shit hits so nice
I thought i was the only one
you wife thinks I'm insane fell asleep halfway while she was still awake when I woke up
This is so true I was literally listening to one of his videos in bed last night to help me go to bed.
I remember the first time I heard this story. I was working at a mine in Arkansas on my night shift. Scary stories were one of the few things to help me stay awake. Hearing a story about Arkansas while being there and at night was such a neat experience. So glad you got to lend your great voice to it. Keep up the good work and hope everyone has a nice safe spooky month
I wanna hear more about the mines…
@@creepycassette well we basically were out in the middle of no where and had a lot of strange things happen out there. I think one of the strangest was a night we found a few animals that ran off of our high wall and into out pit. It was so creepy to find.
@@applesourz755 aaaa00600
@Eros Caerus Yep the company i used to work for had a few but most of them were strip mines that go down like stair steps rather than underground tunnels. Yup growing up in basically the boonies i saw plenty of weird stuff but i always loved nice walks in the woods.
were you security or actually down in the mines? what were they mining, im actually super curious :o?
I just recently went through a flap of insomnia after a mistake at the pharmacy. People weren't meant to be awake 24/7. Nothing weird happened but the sense of time while everyone else is sleeping is kind of disturbing to me. Takes me a bit to adjust back to normal life after a period of extended insomnia. Something feels wrong and time loses all meaning. My sleep doctor is like a Saint to me.
Theres something really peaceful about being awake when every one else is asleep for me but ive also been on a reversed sleep schedule for years not an insomniac so i cant speak for that
I'll actually issue a minor correction - Weird shit absoultley does happen if you're awake too long.
Nothing supernatural, but hallucinations begin to set in after somewhere around 48 hours.
Our body uses sleep to do a lot of really important stuff. From hormone production, to repairing injuries, to memory processing - Hell, just the fact that we can spend about eight hours burning a significantly lower level of calories than the rest of the day is an advantage.
The difference in human experience is fascinating. As someone who struggled with heavy drug use throughout my 20s it was completely normal for me to stay awake for up to nearly 100 hours at a time. Yes 4 days. And this would be frequently. It was so common to me that I didn't notice any difference. Day, night, everyone sleeping or awake. It was all the same. It actually got to the point where I didn't want to sleep so I'd stay high to prevent it. Not because I was scared of nightmares or whatever but just because sleep felt like time wasted. Those were not healthy years lol.

Doctors: "As humans we need sleep"
Prof. Richardson: "They are fools!"
Sleep is for the weak!! 😂😂😂
You can sleep when your dead lol

@@justchilling1506 evolving*
I really liked the story. One of my favorite parts of the reading, is the small clinking when they’re eating, and you can hear the tone shift, so you can tell that they were eating. It was a great experience
Listening from Arkansas. 🤘🖤
oh snappppp hah!
Listening from the sleep experiment.
Aw snap. I reckon we're in this mess together! I'm also in Arkansas
Fellow Arkansan as well!
@@johnrummel6154 I've always wondered what someone from Arkansas is considered lol now I know.
Love, a dumb marylander lol
I don't understand how some guys have over a million subs and this dude only has a few hundred thousand. Noone else holds a candle to this guy, spooky or otherwise.
what i’m saying!!
True artistic merit is never measured by popularity. Everyone like to think so but it's just not true.
English is my 2nd language and your fun fact at the end added my vocabulary. I have been wondering what somnium means. Thank you for that and thank you for the wonderful read. I love your channel.
It's not an English word
I've heard this one before, but never this well done. Your purely analytical demeanor suited the story well. As always, you never disappoint. Thank you
Your little insomniac
Thank you:)
Hi fellow insomniac
@@theurbangoose9962 tough thing, isn't it...and NOBODY gets it
@@stephenstevens6573 for me it's probably the stress from school but yeah, I sometimes don't fall asleep for 5 days
@@theurbangoose9962 i wish you luck..I suffer...but, I won't take sleeping pills, so.....lol
Grew up in Arkansas and the location of the story really caught me off guard because there used to be secret nuclear weapons silos just past Searcy
I live in searcy, where is this?
@@lizghent1412 about 11 miles north heading toward bald knob. There was an incident back in the 60s you should look it up
Bro, I’m just amazed he pronounced Searcy right. But honestly, there are some very creepy things around Searcy. There’s a abandoned church a little ways out of town that some people have said seems to be the hideout of a cult.
Just for clarity, I’ve grown up in Searcy.
I only live a couple hours from this place havnt been that way my self though. Theres also some abandonded site south of fayetteville not sure what it was used for tho
@@eightplusone7512 are you talking about rush? Because if you are that place is sick, and if you’re not I need to know what you’re talking about lol. Fayetteville is great but it can get kinda boring sometimes
I'm glad my boss allows me to listen to these during work 😃. Makes the 9 hours pass by so quickly
God, I hope my future boss does the same! Also, who's that in your pfp?
@@joyc.e.7511 my boss is amazing. She didn't hire me cause I was family, it was cause when I was in town during events I would help her out as much as I could during those times cause it was always herself and one other person trying to feed 200+ a day.
@@joyc.e.7511 I'm guessing PFP is profile picture. That's my character I made on some avatar site.
I hope asking this isn't invasive, but what do you do for work? I'm wondering cause I probably wouldn't be able to do any work and pay attention to the story at the same time. Even when the only thing I'm doing is listening i can get lost and have to go back lol
@@nigh_tosphere I work in a little country cafe in a small town that borders a national parks. It gives me something to keep my mind focused and ignore the two other employees who look down on everyone.
I enjoy these stories off sleep/dream related things. Always find them very interesting. Also, there is a gasshopper in my room. Just incase anyone wanted to know. It's not a pet. It just came in through my window and is hopping around as they do.
OMG NO WAY. TELL THE GRASSHOPPER I SAID HI.. if it’s still there-
I was always told it's good luck so don't kill it, that's need luck. At least it is for crickets so I'd imagine same goes to grasshoppers also
That was just great. The voice of the doctor was on point, perfectly eerie, friendly but still keeping you on edge. I honestly loved this.
You have become one of my favorite narrator's!
One if the first stories I ever heard you narrate was 'It has no Face!''
Absolutely blew me away!
You've gotten me through some ruff times.....Thank you!! 🙏❤👍
Thank you so much:)
This has always been one of if not my favorite experiment creepypasta, so happy to see one of my favorite readers do it justice.
Awesome! Hope you liked it :)
The whole sequence at 13:40 is fantastic!
The way the conversation goes with occasional bits of them eating their mouth full
I'm so excited! I LOVE the sleep experiments stories! They are what got me into creepypasta/scar stories!
Also I bought your full print hoodie and I am ECSTATIC to get it! Thanks for all your hard work you do for all who listen!

He won't have it elsewhere if I'm correct.
Ah, experiment Creepypastas. God I love them. One of the best type of stories. Thanks again Ronnie!

THIS! THIS STORY! I heard this story before the "Russian Sleep Experiment" story, so when I heard that one I thought I was going crazy because it was a different perspective than I remembered. This was it. I like this one a lot more. The parts about the octagonal angles and such? 👌
In case you're on the fence and think you heard them all, this was so much more enjoyable than other experiment stories, it's very different so don't get the titles mixed up!
I was looking for this comment. Cheers.
This story is really fucking with me now because I have almost all the mentioned symptoms except literally seeing elevators magically appearing. Paranoia, minor hallucinations, the occasional sound or voice and on top of that a obsession with the idea of someone watching me that I can’t see. So yeah I’m being kinda mind fucked right now
@@personman8734 That doesn't sound fun at all, I hope you can see a good doctor and get it sorted out. I think it's good to watch or listen to some things that make you feel happy and secure too. Please be ok.
@@personman8734 Hey man! That sounds like symptoms of schizophrenia or similar types of mental illness. If you truly are experiencing these listed above, i suggest you go see a professional such as a doctor who can help you. I mean this in the most non judgemental way possible, so sorry if i sounded in any way judgemental. My uncle has schizophrenia (that is under control now) and some of those symptoms sound very similar. I don't mean to scare you at all, it could just be tiredness or something very normal, but if not i hope you see a doctor! All the best to you dude!
@@bruhmoment49293 I’m not so sure it’s schizophrenic. I’ve considered the concept but it’s more just weird shit in my peripheral that fucks with me. The occasional person crouching in the bathroom till I look in its direction. A shadow of a large man lining up until I notice and it disappears. The sounds are very rare but always there when you hate them most like hearing the bark of your dead dog in the middle of the night while you’re trying to sleep.
"Dark dream" looks like Ronnies done his research well and as always great content and great sound effects keep up the good work!
Damn Ronnie, awesome work as always, but take a break or something for fucks sake lol you’ve been pumping out videos like I’ve never seen for the last little bit. Dont burn yourself out buddy, we’re not going anywhere.
@@GreatNewsVideo *shrug* what can I say? A little compassion can go a long way once in a while, though I’ve never heard the term “concern troll” before. After googling it i wouldn’t say I was trying to derail or undermine anything, let alone be disingenuous. I want our guy here to keep making badass creepypasta vids, and he can’t do that if he’s falling out against his will every two minutes... plus, he’s a good dude. I’m sure he’d do the same for any of us.
@@missluciddreams3472 imagine having some compassion for someone. Nothing about that was an order, Ronnies an adult and can make his own choices. It was a suggestion, because I (unlike, clearly, you) know how much effort he puts into every video he puts out, sound design included. You know, nobody asked you. I’ve been a subscriber to this channel for a long time now, and notice how my comment got even better than a like from the proprietor of the channel? Clearly he understood where I was coming from. Get back on your leash, or wherever you came from.
@@kadoj the dude clearly appreciated your statement idk why people are being such children about it. Was a nice thing to say. Mans been working hard
@@stripeslGFX thanks, friend. I’m glad someone sees it for what it was. =] makes me feel a little less unsure that what I said was coming off in the way I intended it to.
lol well that escalated quickly... sorry bro didn’t mean to bring drama to your space.
Oh God this is a classic! Thank you for giving it a voice on youtube!
I listened to it years ago so glad he's covered it
@@richardshiflett5181 it's a figure of speech jack ass
@@richardshiflett5181 okay edge lord no one asked the fact you felt the need to post this over a simple expression is both depressing and hilarious
I’ve never heard this story, but I’ve grown up in Arkansas, and I just want to congratulate you. You’ve done something very few people can do. You pronounced Searcy correctly! I grew up in Searcy and half the people who live there can’t even pronounce it right!
thank you! haha xD
Out of all the creepypasta narrators, you are my favorite. The music and timing is amazing. I work nights and listening to you makes them pleasant and tolerable. Keep it up man! Maybe do some more sci fi outer space stuff?? ;)
Thank you! :) I'll have more out soon!
I loved it. Fun theory, our brains are constantly tapping into supernatural energy even if we don't realize. Every night when we dream our brain releases the built-up energy. If we don't dream or sleep the energy overloads and drives us insane or provides a strong enough anchor for fourth dimensional beings so seep into our mind
As someone who struggles with sleep and dreams are kind of the highlight of the day, I really enjoyed this one. Thanks bud.
Would you like to butter my biscuit?
I’m freaking terrified awesome story and narration and I was gonna fall asleep to this but now I can’t this story was absolutely terrifying and awesome at the same time
Haha as someone who studied Latin for six years, I loved that you added that fact at the end! Also you are my favorite narrator on here, the quality and effort you put into these videos is something most just lack. So thank you 🙏
Thank you so much:)
Love how deep the scientific discussions got in this one! I actually studied a bit of this so I could follow some of it, however the fact that it was highly theoretical was awesome!
Your compositions man… the one at 16 minutes in the piano you truly make the best horror music I have ever heard. So much existential dread and horror yet slight comfort in this song. It is perfect. That’s another reason why your narrations are the best.
You are one of my favorite story tellers on this app. Thanks for existing. Truly amazing.
For an insomniac, this is so scary 😭
I still get chills every time I listen. Your sounds and music are outstanding too:) thank you
I’ve lived in Arkansas my whole life and I got to say I like this story. I wish there were more Arkansas related Creepypastas.
This was great to listen to at like 2am when you're trying to sleep and your place creaks a lot at night... Great work as always somnium
Dude you are so amazing at this! This has honestly sent shivers down my spine with how good ad detailed it was, the first ever story I heard from you was 'my hometown is missing' and it was so good that I honestly had a hard time sleeping and ended up watching a ton of funny and happy videos to get my mind off of it. Please keep up the absolutely stunning work!
Oh, I absolutely love this story. So glad you decided to narrate it. I recently found your channel and I love your content. You have a great voice for these stories! Thanks for doing what you do.
Omg so…I just so happen to live about 30 minutes from Searcy Arkansas!!! My daughter and one of my sons were born there as well as my big brother. This story quite frankly scared the shit out of me. I’m also an insomniac. Bravo 👏 this story is psychologically terrifying!!!!!😮. I will always love this channel!!!! You have made my life better in a weird way! Thank you Dark Somnium!!!
God I absolutely love this channel. So happy I found it two years ago, superb narrations, amazing quality, please do not stop making content
Wow, thank you! :)
I've heard this story before from another narrator a long time ago. Your telling added something that made it more immersive. You're a great story teller. Sweet dreams.
11:43 actually gave me a bit of fright! Love the story and fantastic narration and sound design as always!
This needs a part 2!!! Or different perspectives. THIS IS SO GOOD
Yoooo this sounds interesting. Thanks, DS! I hope you had a great weekend!
i did thank you! i hope you did also :)
Thank you Somnium this is perfect timing, work is awful tonight manager quit and everything lol you’re my saving grace ! 🤣❤️
By far one of the best horror stories I’ve heard on youtube and the best narration too. Well done!
I’ve literally been trying to finish this story for a week but I keep falling asleep. You’re too good at what you do, but thank you for helping me sleep.
Expertly performed and delivered as usual. I just recently found your channel and I am looking forward to hearing your future work.
This is actually pretty good! It's sort of like the Russian Sleep Experiment but from the POV of the patients and more character building
Man you came back with a vengeance after that (very needed) break. Love to see it and I hope you're feeling better
This is the first video of yours I've seen, and I gotta say WOW! The way you change your voice to fit the characters made me feel so immersed. And the sound effects?!?! Man, bravo!! You've gained a new fan 💚
As always Ronnie, you deliver like a champ!
Thank you! :)
Having always had night terrors & one awful episode of sleep paralysis, It was oddly comforting Dark Somnium means dark dreams! 🖤 From Australia
loved this one! my favorite parts were the group meetings and when the guy went on the elevator
Your sci-fi genre narrations are just the best of the best! This completes my life:')
Good evening!! Hope you’re having a good Monday Ronnie. Looking forward to tonight’s story
good evening! i am! thank you charles. i hope you have a good night!
@@Darksomnium Damn, all these subs and you still put in the effort to interact with your audience. That's why you're the best!

This was the best story I've heard in awhile, good shit brotha much love
I've listened to this about 10 times and I love it more every time !! Sooo creepy, I love the stories where you cant tell if the characters are losign their minds or if something unexplainable is happening.
Perfect to listen to as I’m about to fall asleep 😆
Arkansas bros where you at
woop x)
You are definitely my favorite story channel. Great for getting work done and/or slacking off
I've heard this one before. Great job! You made listening to it again a pleasure.
I wonder if there are going to be more sleep experiment stories from around the world. So far I listened to the Russian, Texas and Arkansas ones.
It's hard to tell if the 'experiment ' caused the supernatural stuff or if it was caused by their location, which seems eldritch or haunted.
I can confirm that Searcy, Arkansas is, in fact, eldritch and haunted.
Edit: Jk, the post underneath is BS obviously lol. Loved the story, thank you for another great narration and thanks to the author as well!
Funnily enough though, it does sound like a crazy meth psychosis story but then again most of the bad side effects from meth use come from sleep deprivation and in this story there definitely was sleep deprivation sooo.. yeah.
-------------------
They were getting hopped up on meth.
The “uneasy” feeling is the fact their fight or flight is at 100% like most tweakers, that feeling ends up becoming severe paranoia and in worst cases psychosis.
The “debates” they felt like having is just the dopamine making them feel euphoric and wanting to express their ideas more than ever before.
They now believe their thoughts are some of the best ideas anybody has ever had. That’s why you see tweakers do crazy shit and not give a damn, it all sounded good in their heads.

I can confirm Arkansas is a scary place
I know right inbreds running everywhere
Always listen to you on the drive to and from work. Favorite story teller.
This is such an awesome story, well done Ronnie!
I listen to a lot of your stories and this one really gets me for some reason. Had me looking over my shoulder
11:47 The part with the piano really elevated the atmosphere.
Wow, what an absolutely amazing story and performed by a brilliant narrator no less.
Love these videos your the one that got me into watching these narration videos keep up the great work!!💯
*You are the absolute best Creepypasta related channel on the entire internet in my opinion..!* 🧘
Amazing story as always brother, keep up the good work your one of my favorites!
Great job as usual my friend and another cool unique story, you are second to none as far as Creepypasta Narrator's, you are like a few others, ROM, And Spirit voices being on the same level as well as Giggles and Lighthouse I see you all as Voice actor's you all act out the stories with great emotions, we feel what the characters feel thanks to you and Your original music and sound effects make you the BEST period at this.
Also thanks for explaining your name at the end I always wondered what it meant, I don't why I didn't google the meaning but I didn't and now I know. :)
Love the narration, sound design, story itself is all baller. Best channel out there
This is my favorite experiment creepypasta I'm so glad you covered it
Another awesome story and thanks for the extra at the end about the origin of the name!
Nice! This was a good one. Also I've been wondering what Somnium meant so thanks for sharing, I just assumed it had something to do with music 😆
You are my peace in a world of chaos. Amazing work as always! 💕
Definitely getting “the dark somnium” tattooed now. Loved this, and love all your videos.
haha
Love this story, so glad you read it :)
Love your narration and the stories you choose great job
Dude your videos are so fantastic!
Great story and incredible narration as always man
DS does so good with these stories. I would never be able to narrate theses creepy pastas.
He has an amazing skill with narration and the sound effects. The brain (my brain anyways) turns them all into little shows. You can tell the effort he puts in.
That actually sent chills up my spine! Well done. 👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
YES. THIS is one of the greats. Truly unique and interesting horror that is paced well. Can't wait to hear your take on it!
Agreed. And “The Left Right Game”.
Thanks for these amazing readings! Your voice sounds so calming but creepy, it’s perfect!
