I loved the way you edited the video where Joe is talking about how he talked about this in a previous stream and then it cuts back to that stream and it happens like 2-3 more times. Really amazing work. I don't know if it was your intention or not but kind of gave it an inception/dream like feel. Thanks for all the hard work you do uploading these videos.
I'm sure when it's your reality you kinda just have to "deal with it" and make defense mechanisms and such, but the idea that I could just be going along with my day and think, "hmm, what if I'm dreaming right now? I'll try to wake up." AND THEN IT WORKS? That's reality-rending nightmare fuel to me.
Avarisi I've watched so many of your edits (thank you btw!) but this one really impacted me I don't think I've ever related more to Joe. I guess I probably have narcolepsy and should talk to my doctor about it Watching this, and realizing this, seriously right after walking up is surreal
I don't have a diagnosed sleep disorder or narcolepsy but a lot of what's being said is 100% relatable to me. In terms of forcing an awake state when I realise it's turning into a nightmare, the only reliable way I've found is shouting as loud as I can. Recognisable items/elements for nightmares are slow rising balloons, sudden shadows/darkness, and most reliably, everything in slow motion. Unfortunately waking myself up works through shouting in the dream so hard that my body physically shouts, waking myself with my own screaming. Worse, this comes with a by-product of waking up (and terrifying) my partner too. The dream/waking-up loops are really disturbing. I can never shake the feeling once I eventually escape the loop so even if I've only been asleep for an hour I just give up on any further sleep that night. It keeps happening for that whole night even with an awake gap. I can deal with most of this despite it being a big problem - smaller problems are stuff like having full conversations when "awake" where my partner tells me things and I reply in earnest. Then 5 hours later when I'm actually awake he'll mention something I agreed to or some information I needed to know and I have zero recollection. Unfortunately it's not easy for me to access any sleep-specific healthcare so I just deal with it. But it was reassuring to hear somebody else talk about these things - I feel less like a freak.
wonderful compilation as always. just wanted to piggyback on the discussion about my recent diagnosis with OSA. I, like that first chatter, have mild OSA diagnosed via sleep study. I finally realized i had a problem with always feeling tired no matter how much i slept (w/ some pretty significant snoring) in grad school and thankfully was able to get a sleep study referred and done. Its a common misconception that OSA is only for bigger guys, smokers, old people, etc. funny too, i only just got my cpap a few nights ago and already seeing significant improvement in my sleep; while not ideal, its not nearly as uncomfortable as i thought.
When I was a kid, I once had a dream where my dad was watching a zombie movie which then gave me a nightmare within my dream. I also used to have these weird dreamlike states right as i was in the process of falling asleep, where usually a person would be standing over me and saying something, and I would hear whatever they were saying in my ears, waking up frightened and confused, with the audio still ringing in my ears as though I had actually heard it, despite the fact that what was actually said disappeared from my memory quickly. I don't have those anymore, but I never knew there was anything weird about it. i also don't know what it's called, even to this day. (edit: it's apparently called Hypnagogic hallucination) Nowadays I have weird dreams, but they're a lot more typical of what you'd expect. The most vivid dream I ever had was the Bionicle dream a few months ago (finding discontinued bionicles in a shop and rejoicing but being unable to actually buy them for whatever reason. Me and my brothers were joking, in the dream, saying "this is the Bionicle dream isn't it?" We laughed, and then i woke up. There was a strange sensation of sadness as I woke up, too, which is weird since I've never felt anything like that before.
im ALAN by the by, I have that instant dream thing. its REALLY hard to wake up from a nap too, and I feel constantly sleepy while my mind doesnt feel exhausted (like it normally would after a long day)
Okay I watch your compilations and Joe's videos from time to time and I had no idea he has sleep disorders. This just came up in a playlist and as soon as he started describing what he experiences it felt like a punch to the face. I always knew something is wrong with my sleep but narcolepsy never sounded right before. I have tried to ask for a sleep study but doctors brushed me off. Maybe I should push some more...
I haven’t watched yet but I have narcolepsy and almost always lucid dream so I look forward to watching this later. Well I actually have simi lucid dreams most often, rarely a true lucid dream. Where a true lucid dream breaks the fabric of the dream like walking into a random house as I’m walking around only to see that my brain hasn’t processed what should be inside the houses so it’s like a soft crash/reset of the dream. Semi lucid being when I realize I’m in danger I can temporarily go intangible to go through walls, avoid being hit, and fly but the logic of the dream world is unbroken.
It’s interesting to me when I find other people with narcolepsy. Since everyone develops their own strategies for dealing with all the possible symptoms. Hallucinating sleep paralysis, vivid dreams every day, always sleepy until finally finding a medication that helps manage it (and then still always being a bit sleepy). Not to forget cataplexy lol Or other sleep weirdness like restless leg
I have gotten into one really intense dream loop. I took a nap during my lunch break and ended up in a loop about 5 levels deep. When I woke up, what felt like hours was just 20 minutes. While I love dreaming, even if it is weird/somewhat scary dreams, I could not imagine regularly entering those dream loops on any kind of regular basis. The feeling of “waking up” several times started to fuck with my head just the one time. I feel like experiencing that several times would break your grip on reality where you could never be certain when you are in the real world or not.

Thank you for this compilation. I get sleep paralysis occasionally and it's been really enlightening to listen to Joe's experiences

It’s nothing to worry about. Since if you don’t wake up it’s not a dream (: simple

Hey you, you're finally awake. Walked right into that Joseph Anderson stream recap, just like us.

Knew that thumbnail art was Chrome immediately! Did you commission her for that, or did she already draw that for something else?
These are commissioned images for a few recurring Joe topics.
Bro he seems to know what he’s talking about damn
Huh, turns out me and Joe have narcolepsy in common. Coool…
