My first mental health nurse made me start a dream journal and after reading it for ONE session she said this is beyond her help and referred me onto a different nurse 😭
that's pretty insane
i need to know what the dream was LOL
What was in there?
MY JAW DROPPED WHEN I SAW ADAM IN THE THUMBNAIL the crossover is something I’ve been waiting for for SO LONG❤️
Me TOO!! Adam is the GOAT! I love him!!
the worst nightmare is when i was in a loop. everytime i wake up and leave my room i'd just wake up again in bed and it was going for like hours in my dream. but it was just a 20 mins nap
😂😂😂
I get this all the time it's literally the worst
i had a similar dream, i would keep waking up in my bed and going down the stairs, and when i reached the bottom i would get sent back to bed and every time i woke up again the stairs would like double in length and go really far down 😭not really scary just annoying tbh
@@holly6705 same but you know what, one way I figured to break the loop and wake up is by basically forcing myself to do it, by trying to move violently or scream to the top of my dreamy lungs and also, important, by closing my eyes in the dream, and somehow I do end up waking up legit most times, it's like tricking my brain to do what I want it to do...
literally just woke up from this happening it is horrible
Didn't know bach was chill like that...

Cheers lads, will definitely be seeing Betsy in my dreams tonight
You guys have scared me I can’t shower now without thinking Betsy or the seven dwarfs are gonna posses me naked
I have crazy vivid intense dreams that just retraumatise me almost every night I’ve had to learn to lucid dream so I can get myself out of these dreams
I’ve never thought about lucid dreaming but now you’ve said that I might because I have the wildest dreams that replay all my trauma🙃
sometimes my dreams make absolutely 0 sense, I have a reoccurring dream that I’m out getting groceries or shopping and I reach into my purse to grab my wallet to pay and my purse is just a giant taco and I pull my hand out and it’s covered in refried beans and that’s the whole dream
🤣
I respect your subconscious for this tbh
Bach’s tootsies were frightening at the beginning
NO WAY ADAM IS ON HERE
barthur- we all say in unison
I think the reason we don’t use our phones in our dreams is that our brains register everything we see as real. So if I’m on a call with my friend, my subconscious brain thinks I’m with her in real life. Then, in a dream, if I want to FaceTime that friend instead of pulling out my phone and calling her she just appears in front of me and we start chatting as if it was normal. Because it kind of is. It’s also why we put our selves in movies in dreams or hangout with famous people like it’s an average day.
Hi Arthur, I had the exact same in primary school when I was 6. The teacher wouldn't allow me to go to the toilet. It was just after morning break. I literally just pulled my trousers down and pissed in the sand box area. She dragged me out of the class, with my trousers around my ankles to the toilet to clean me up. That still in my memory 32 years later.
*I look forward to this podcast as much as I love getting notifications of Bachs videos up*
Flying in dreams feels so fulfilling and satisfying idk how to explain it
Adam is the best guest so far haha
My dreams always retraumatise me but I’ve slowly been recognising them as dreams and changing the outcomes
I have always been a VERY LUCID DREAMER in which I control and KNOW I am dreaming, during the dream I fly ALOTTT (ARTHUR) they are laughing but I have the same thinggggggggg I learned how to fly and I have a reoccurring dream flying around my childhood neighborhood. Same street, my house, the blocks like once a month.. LUCID dreams are awesome. I also tell myself within the dream to remember this when I wake up. It is crazy
LUCID dreaming pod #2.. This one was short. Love you guys from AZ
The last question to Bach yes lol and yes got back into the dream!
Loved the stories that Adam brought in, great guest!!❤
I don’t get them as much anymore, but I would have lucid dreams where I would mess up and so I’d rewind it back to correct it 😂 this is definitely a superpower I wish I had as someone who is socially awkward
WAIT I HAD THESE ONES TOO, it really does feel like you're reverting what happened in your dream only to make yourself feel better
Arthur looks jaundice af
WHY IS THERE A TRANSLATION 😭😭😭
He's mixed race you knob
I always look forward to these episodes
I used to be so scared of being awake at three am I used to panic trying to get to sleep before the clock hit three
I used to get sleep paralysis a lot. Waking up fully but not being able to move is horrible. Cannot imagine how terrifying it would be to then have to deal with a "Betsy" as well.
sooo imagine being in a sleep paralysis and all of a sudden you see a dead rotten spongebob popping up next to the bed at near point blank range... yup that thankfully only happened once lol
@44:40 that happens to me! As soon as I acknowledge the fact I’m dreaming I wake up so I try to avoid thinking about that while I lucid dream
I used to have sleep paralysis where a few blk figures would stand over me and talk to me. I also you used to sleep walk and I woke up in the shower with the water on. I also sleep talk sometimes. When I was younger I used to have the same like 5 reoccurring nightmares. And my nightmares are always related to my stress like relationship/cheating, dental/teeth falling out
I’m in my last year of school, and keep falling asleep when I get home and I every single time have a dream about just a normal day at school- like it’s just a really normal school day and then u get home and sleep so then I wake up from that dream and then think it’s the next day so I start panicking thinking I’m going to be late for school but it’s literally 5 pm
i do have a recurring dream but i never remember it until i have it again
I could lucid dream but i like not knowing what happens next, but sometimes i do add italianbach in there just to make it more interesting 😂😂
Some adhd medications also help narcolepsy so that might explain the effects of the drug that arthur was talking about
I've never been interested this much in my life
I learned how to lucid dream at like 11 because when I was a kid I kept having a reoccuring nightmare every Christmas for at least 5 years where "Santa" knew I was awake and would come up the stairs to my room. I'd close my eyes pretending to be asleep and open them to what I can only describe as a demonic Santa staring into my face. When I was 11 and had my first computer with dial up broadband (90s kid), I started looking up different ways to stop nightmares because Christmas was coming up away and I was terrified it would happen again (despite not believing in Santa anymore). 🤣
Whenever I had nightmares as a child I used try to open my eyes with my fingers and shout for my mum until I’d end up shouting for her in real life while still sleeping so she could come wake me up
My dad passed away when I was 12, he was a fisherman and his boat sank one night when they were on their way into the basin.. my mom was out of town at the time so I was with my aunt, the night he passed away I had a nightmare about his boat sinking, the red distress signal flashing, waves crashing over the sides, my dad running around the deck frantically along with the other 3 crew members, the boat sank right from under me and I just stayed floating in air, the dream ended with my dads hand finally sinking under water. When I woke up that morning I instantly knew my dad was dead, and it only made that feeling stronger when my aunt came in and asked for my phone (my mom didn’t want me to hear it from anyone else so she asked my aunt to take it so she could be the one to tell me) and told me that my mom was coming home from her trip early… I had that reoccurring nightmare for 2 years after my dad died. It was awful and I still struggle sleeping still to this day, the only way I can go to sleep soundly and comfortably is if I smoke weed before bed because something in it makes you not remember your dreams… so I haven’t had that nightmare or any dream in years that I can recall in and I’m not complaining either. I also had a dream once about my grandma being in a hospital and she had a bunch of tubes coming out of her all over, a couple weeks later we found out she had brain, bone and lung cancer…
I can’t even open my eyes during sleep paralysis. As soon as I sense the evil presence, I try to scream myself to fully awake
I had an actual mental breakdown when i learned about sleep paralysis, like should have been sent on a grippy sock vacation meltdown and now i only sleep on my sides to avoid it but i have night terrors of snakes and i wake myself up thrashing to get them off. It’s jarring tbh
I have such intense vivid dreams I wake up exhausted no matter what my doctor started prescribing me sleeping tablets
one of my weirdest dreams might be when there was a "jesus apocalypse", where people randomly started getting turned into jesus and i had to toilet-paper bungee jump in a minecraft ravine to hide from a jesus that was also king kong
I also have sleep paralysis, but luckily I don’t have a demon. But whenever I do have sleep paralysis, I can’t move or even breathe. I just feel this heavy pressure on my chest and I just lay in my bed suffering.
I lucid dreamed by accident and I knew I was dreaming and I tried to wake up and I couldn’t and I checked my phone and the time was like half I don’t know how to explain it but it was the scariest thing ever😭
If I play a game or read a book before bed I usually dream all about that like the year subway surfer came out I didn’t dream of anything else 😂
YOU COULDN'T HAVE BROUGHT A BETTER GUEST
I vividly remember reading online a story about someone having a one night stand and ended up falling asleep without taking the pee pee out somehow. They claimed they both had exactly the same dream that night as if they were connected
Adam is ❤️❤️❤️
I always have nightmares where my teeth fall out. I hardly ever dream or get nightmares but every so often I have one where my teeth just fall out . I HATE IT
I get nightmares and have pretty bad sleep paralysis, its awful. I can literally have it happen repeatedly where it wakes me up every hour on the hour the whole night which can be pretty debilitating. Got a lot of trauma from when I was younger but its still pretty embarrassing to be a thirty year old man having night terrors. Sleep paralysis and the accompanying hallucinations is pretty awful but some of my regular night terrors are somehow even worse. Not much that can be done for it unfortunately but I do have some pretty fantastic lucid dreams too so you take the good and bad with disordered sleeping I guess
genuinely people dont understand how scary it is to just have something straight out of horror movie happen to you irl! sleep paralysis is very traumatic
This is a really interesting conversation, as a child I had sleep paralysis of a shadow figure with a long trench coat and fedora hat, he would always hide in a corner or be at the foot of my bed, I never witnessed a face, just a shadow but it felt like he was always looking intensely at me, it’s all he ever did.
I have a reoccurring theme in my dreams that I’m bursting on a pee and can’t go anywhere as all toilets are outside and in front of people 😂😂
I just had an absolute jumpscare when you said my name in the video. 😂
When I was younger and went to the toilet in my dream I’d always accidentally piss the bed irl too
I lucid dream quite often and without meaning to, I can tell you, I'm very tired because of it. I think I read because the brain is still active while lucid dreaming that it can result in you not getting normal/proper sleep. SO I wake up the next morning dead :)
I am a farmer and I can safely say Arthur can not win a fight against a 500kg cow
44:37 i’ve had dreams where ive pulled out my phone, gone on twitter & tweeted things😭
The worst nightmare here is Bach thinking cows don't have horns 😅
Omg I don’t even know his name but I love his reels on instagram
I’m soooo late to this but must have missed this episode! I have only ever had sleep paralysis once and weirdly I didn’t see anything but I was facing my wall, couldn’t move speak or blink and I just heard my Nans voice speaking to me (we don’t speak to her anymore so was defo not actually her) I then must’ve fallen back asleep as I woke up sweating and crying. Very very strange especially because at this point I hadn’t spoken to her in two years. Very strange but hasn’t happened since (this happened a year ago). Wonder why this was 🤷♀️ the only thing I can think is that I was dreaming about her and in my subconscious I could remember a conversation we’d had possibly on the phone since I didn’t see her only my white wall. Very weird but was nice to hear her voice I guess 😂
I had a series of recurring dreams about two men in trench coats driving a mondeo who kept kidnapping me and one week at my primary school they sent letters out to the parents warning them of two men in long coats in a mondeo asking kids to get into their car
I’ve had sleep paradises but there was no demon I just woke up felt rearly drowsy and couldn’t get up so I just closed my eyes and went back to sleep and woke up
I took adderall during finals in college (US) and i knocked out so many papers and did amazing but would not recommend using medication incorrectly for sure lol
I get sleep paralysis occasionally and used to have it really bad when I was a teen. I used to see all sorts of horrible shit, like my step dad killing my friends or whoever was in the room with me that night laughing at me struggling. Scary, scary shit 😅
I apparently laugh in my sleep though so I feel sorry for my partner too 😂
Never heard men talk about fighting animals for so long 😭
As someone who grew up with 2 brothers, it was all they’d talk about on long car journeys 😂😂
I'm not sure whether they are aware that cows naturally have horns as well
I thought lucid dreaming was just being conscious in dreams, I am never conscious I just remember it after, is that normal?
44:25 i have had my phone in a dream before. im pretty sure i was just sending an email but it seemed normal (i also had a dream where i was sending texts but i wasn’t using my phone so maybe dream world is more advanced and there’s no need for phones anymore)
also betsy sounds like The Old Hag to me
Iv never believed in spiritual stuff but my uncle went to a medium once and they spoke about how how he had a big black dog following him around and it freaked us all out because he had a black Labrador as a kid and it was obsessed with him and would follow him around everywhere but we have no photos or anything of her so there’s no way they could have googled that
I had sprt of a reoccurring dream. The first time I stumbled into this "scare house" and it lit up red and it had moss around the walls and like a vampire and zombie jumped out. The nest time i had this dream I took my friend there in a separate dream months after and we went in there, he got scared and i started laughing and then he ran out and I stood there laughing in the house. I had a dream series in separate dreams lol
My brother used to eat in his sleep and also whenever he is ill he will throw up in his sleep and not wake up
At least with the zombies, jersey is pretty easily defensible unless they can swim
Can you do a segment, every time someone has forced a laugh when george clark makes a joke
Why is it always some demon spawn with sleep paralysis? Why not a lovely fairy or something?
italian snatch is unreal
Once realised I was dreaming and told a boy in my dream that he was in my dream and non of it was real and he looked at me and whispered “do not tell that to anyone else here”💀😭
SUBMITTING MY RECURRING DREAM. In my dream I'm able to put my arms out and fly around or jump as high as I like. Would love a explanation lads 😅
I’m so worried Arthur is gonna be drunk one day and break his NDA’s from working on bio tech contracts hahha
Creating Our COMBINED Man Utd x Newcastle XI!
I have dreams almost every night and can remember mostly all of them, not many of them are scary or nightmares. But if they are scary I am conscious that I’m in a dream but I never wake myself up which is so weird? Like I’m scared and know it’s awful and it feels real, I know it’s not but still put myself through it anyway? odd
Arthur is accidentally buying drugs from Silk Road to study
My dreams are often so horrific my partner has asked me to stop telling him about them because they’re traumatising him hahah
Why have you left like 80% of the comments on this video 😭🙏
@@hildachurl hahaha I have no friends who watch this to give my commentary to idk I comment like they’re in a conversation with me😭
@@kleee711 haha fairs I love it I think it’s funny ur everywhere 😂🫶
Every night I have really vivid dreams and I lucid dream so often 😭😭I remember most of my dreams and everything that happened but their allways hard to explain because their so random sometimes and just don’t make sense saying it out loud. 🤣I used to get sleep paralysis quite often too mostly when I was sleep deprived. I used to wiggle my finger to snap out of it. It was the only thing I could move, mine never had demons though, it was allways a dream and it was scary bcuz it didn’t feel like a dream it felt like it was real life, one of them was me getting dragged down the side of my bed and it felt real I could feel it 😭😭😭then I woke up and couldn’t move. The first time I ever had it I tried to sleep again after and it happened another 4 times that night. I gave up in the end and stayed up all night 😭
Im fuckin over it i swear how is it every video u say something that relates to my day man. Just had sleep paralysis for the first time in sooo long & it was so scary i actually felt like i was being choked... and I told my friend and she was like " u should have tried to get it to smash." & i was like "girl.... that was my first thought." I probably sound so crazy w these comments but understand i know this and I would have stopped by now. im actually shook. Plus i screenshotted our messages so I'm standing on this that im suppose to be watching this. Could honestly just be cuz i needed a pick me up i been depressed all week and been so productive today/ yesterday
I like Arthur’s shirt
Branded medicine does work better. Eg Anadin works really well but non-branded paracetamol does nothing for me
You should make like a rock and Morty style animation intro with ur characters
Love a studious king
Cows also have horns and you wouldn't stand a chance 😂😂
Would you rather fight a kangaroo or an ostrich
Do you dream in black and white or colour?
You dream in black and white??I didn’t know that was possible
Guys…cows have horns 😂
u guys are my age cody and noel🫶🏻
‘A candy-colored clown they call the sandman
Tiptoes to my room every night
Just to sprinkle stardust and to whisper
Go to sleep, everything is alright
I close my eyes then I drift away
Into the magic night, I softly say
A silent prayer like dreamers do
Then I fall asleep to dream my dreams of you
In dreams I walk with you
In dreams I talk to you
In dreams you're mine all of the time
We're together in dreams, in dreams
But just before the dawn
I awake and find you gone
I can't help it
I can't help it
If I cry
I remember that you said goodbye
It's too bad that all these things
Can only happen in my dreams
Only in dreams
In beautiful dreams’
40:50 Yeah that’s caused by the phone screen being slightly raised, likely due to heat. Because of this, all of the sub-pixels (tiny lights) aren’t connected to the circuit board, which explains why half of the screen flashes white. You may have to send it out to repairs, but there’s also a potential solution that you can do instantly. Basically all you have to do is take the phone and place it in a cool place and press down on that specific side of the screen so that the sub-pixels can potentially reconnect. This may fix it permanently so you may as well try it. But hey, another solution is to not listen to an online stranger’s advice, since I made this all up.
I read this whole thing hahah
🤡
🤡
Adam sounds just like bale haha
Would be funny if you’re discussing dreams, wet dreams are always funny to hear about. Next time
Kangaroos can disembowel you!!
I had five bananas once
**oke**
Its so weird i have looked it up wnd everything ur not suppose to be able to read, or see a phone in ur dreams and then u say u cant count now too??? Idk why but i can. I found out about all this from telling someone i read a note in a dream and it led to the convo. Apparently the part of ur brain is asleep that allows u to read. Also as im typing it u say the phone thing. I literally have had facebook arguments in my dreams. Ive tried to look up other ppl who can do this or any studies. When i looked there was nothing... the people I told would not believe me and im like idk why a 27 year old would start a conversation about seeing a phone in a dream or reading just to flex that i can do something that cant be proven??? Like yes lemme flex my fucking slumber rn. Lmao. I wish I could study on it though. If anyone in the comments can plzzz hmu.
Arthur- same w the zombie dreams but not aliens. I have zombie dreams CONSTANTLY. Ive heard a few other people say the same too. Zombie dogs are always present
AAAAHHHHHH
You need Joe Weller on lads
44:23 people always say this but i’ve had my phone in my dream so many times
me too ive 100% had a dream where im texting somebody or watching a video that isnt even real
@@dogdog7883 i’ve snapchatted in my dream aswell 😭
