Why do we dream? We all do it, and they're always weird for some reason. Do dreams mean anything? Is there some deep rooted meaning in dreams? If you watch any of my videos, you know I constantly talk about them. Whether it's sleep paralysis or lucid dreaming, it's constantly affecting somebody. It's about time I made a video on them.

Dreams are fascinating. Dreams are crazy. Dreams are weird. But somehow, they feel *right* to exist.
Dreams are free trials and you'll get the real deal after you die

Shower Thought: Us studying the brain is the brain trying to learn more about itself.
He did something similar already fourth he would do it again :(
And studying the human body is like the brain studying it’s mech life support combo.
If we made our brain more capable and complex, it would be harder to study it. And if we made it simpler, we would be very dumb to even understand it.
David Konevky we will reach a certain point where we can understand our very complicated brains, but who knows when we reach that point.
I, I can not say your wrong but no. No. N- I have to small of a brain to take that in.
I once had a dream about a young beautiful girl and she talked about my future after we talked she told me "we will meet again in the near future" after three months I saw her again in my dream I was in a bad state in that period (I had depression and high stress) when I saw her again she said to me "do you remember me?" I was shocked to see that it was the same girl I met then.She asked me if I was sad.I told her yes and the reasons to why.After she asked me to sit next to her in a giant and old tree then she said "go to sleep and i will protect you from nightmares" so I did.when I closed my eyes she hugged me and said to me "goodnight" I felt something warming in my chest something relaxing I was feeling so happy I thought I could fly but then I woke up then I felt my face full of tears I didn't want to leave that dream I was sad but also happy.(sad because I woke up and happy because I met her)I never forgot her and she inspired me to be happy again till this day!
Bruh that sounds so unrealistic but Wow What an experience bro
She must be an angel
New sub
Same
I understand. However, the girl more than likely wasn’t a conscious person... it was you that created her then created her again when you needed it most... a lot of people do this without knowning. The girl could have been a talking tree, then after 3 months you recreated that tree to help and guide you. It’s purely emotional.
I hate those dreams where youre half conscious and youre doing something like walking or skateboarding and then you fall and right as you hit the ground you wake up
those make me so angry for no good reason
Those dreams are crazy
We never die in dreams because our brain doesn't know what happens afterwards
I hate them too, somehow I always fall from the stairs and wake up before hitting my head
Those dreams suck... I remember waking up because of a dream like this, when I was either walking or running (don't remember which one was it, but I think just walking) , and for no reason I just randomly tripped, like gravity literally flipped over 90 degrees and then back, and I was sent flying forward, way faster than I was moving before it, and landed right on my face
I hate to sometimes dream about having *_an exam next day_* and not having studied at all LOL
Well some of us haven’t just dreamt of that
Same
Is this what nerds dream about?
I dream these kind of dreams too often and it's kinda irritating for me.
Yeah, I had the same dream of several times of showing up on exam without studying
"if you throw a rock into the lake, you are the last person that touch the rock until the end of time."
Omfg🧐😳😨☝️
Nah anything can happen.
You’ve probably walked past your soulmate but you can’t remember
U might pull it out the lake?
I get what you're saying, but someone could swim in that same lake and touch it with their foot lol
I literally had a dream that my mom was driving a white truck, she drove it into a lake and my little brother died, the next day we past a scene where a person drove off the road into a river. I tried to look up to see if was a white truck but I couldn’t find it
Dreams are really real
That’s smth to remember

Once I had a dream that me and two other ppl travelled in a van and murdered ppl. I'm 14😂
When I was 13 years old I started keeping a dream journal and after about one year I started lucid dreaming; realizing I was dreaming I started to observe clues that would alert me of my dream state (usually people snapping their fingers) and I could pick up on this in other dreams. When I was 15 or so I started to experience delta sleep. I felt as if I was fully conscious and had completely control of my environment and people (some straight inception shit). I was able to travel to places I’ve never been before and even other planets. I always felt as if I was given this “delta sleep” ability for a specific reason by beings that I described as a “higher humanity”. I could create anything I wanted and meet whoever. I spoke with Tesla, Einstein, Hawking, Sagan, JFK etc. Everything I experienced or did in this dream state had this lingering feeling that the “version” of humanity I am a part of is doomed. Everything I would create or the places I visited on earth contained a humanity that lived in complete unity were everyone was working towards a common goal of human expansion whether it be through our solar system or on a galactic scale. I was “shown” visions of our earth’s future where humanity never united and our planet became uninhabitable due to a severe runaway greenhouse effect. This whole delta sleep experience didn’t last for more than 6 months and eventually just stopped. I didn’t even start remember my dreams again until I was 20. The things I saw and felt during this time actually led my decision to go to university for geography and environmental specializing my degree in climate change. I feel as if my dream experience was almost similar to what people on DMT feel; my dreams could feel like decades and I started to loose sense of reality vs dreaming because I was essentially living another life in a different reality. I had no idea “delta sleep” was a thing before watching this video but now I need to start researching what I experienced and maybe I could share my story with experts in the field.
Interesting. Thank you for sharing.
Damn man that's crazy that you had that experience in you're dreams. Speaking of inception everytime i've watched that film i would always have a dream within a dream it was so surreal
So interesting thanks for sharing let’s get u to number 1 comment!
It’s really interesting. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for sharing. This motivates me to keep trying to have a lucid dream
Shower thought: Where dose a thought go when we forget it?
It goes to the place where thoughts come from when you remember them.
Imagine a Lego house. It consists of many bricks that by themselves cannot be called a house, but collectively when assembled is a house. Now, what happens when you disassemble it and put the bricks back into the pile of Legos? Where is the house? Maybe you'll say it's there in the pile, but it's just the bricks and not the house. The bricks could be anything else, they could be a plane, they could be a ship. The house is just an idea and does not actually exist.
(Relevant xkcd # 659)
Now we can apply this analogy to the original argument. Your thought is just an interaction between several neuron cells, and the cells don't really go anywhere, at least in a short period of time. A thought only "exists" when you think about something.
TL;DR: Your thoughts don't go anywhere, they just get rearranged
@@dreska255 i... am... shocketh!
Thoughts arent some solid objects that appear and disappear , thoughts are arrangement of neurons , so when a thought "dies", that means that the neurons got rearranged to form a different thought , so its that arrangement that is lost , its similar to how computers store data , when the data is deleted , it doesnt go anywhere , its just labelled as empty and gets overwritten by new data.

Absolutely amazing ggz
"They can be seen standing in the corner of the room, on the ceiling, or closer..."
Guess who's not sleeping tonight
Most of my dreams that I remember are either reminding me to do something or me completing something in a game
Most of my dreams are different lives I have and they seem more interesting to me and I want to live there, same family but it's just different and interesting for some reason seems like the world is in the future there, there are different creatures and things
@@notme7851 odd I almost always have a story in my dreams. It's like a book or a movie except the plot often jumps around or makes little sense and I'm a major part in it.
A good example is when I had a dream of myself sneaking through a old medieval town with the skyrim sneak icon in my face. After I think a great friend or family member was moving through a crowd and someone was gunna bother them so I threw them off. We entered a study room that hung over the town from a building. (university?) I felt like it was tilted and I asked the person whether it was going to fall. They assured me that it was perfectly fine and I just chatted with them for a few minutes before I said that the room was very tilted.
I heard a massive bang and the whole room fell. I watched through the window and saw the ground come towards me. When we hit I was in darkness for a few moments and during that few seconds I felt sick or something and I had to forcefully pull myself from the depths of whatever that was. I felt like I was rising in the air before waking up in my room.
That was the first dream I would consider a nightmare that I had in a long long time. I also remember that dream the best out of almost all of my recent ones.
That sounds like a nightmare, thinking you have completing something in a game and waking up to realise it was just a dream, and you still have to complete all those damn GTA submarine mission.
yeah i dream about playing video games a lot lol
or about a sitcom
hey aperture, mind explaining whats behind "alternative universes"? i'd love a video on it.
Same, Id like to see what happens if one collides with another, or something like that
@@bottie7344 I agree. I would watch any video about universes if I could.
yas I absolutely love the theory of the multiverse and I believe it’s totally true
his videos are about more realistic subjects
watch his Mandela effect video he gave a little explanation about it in that vid about how its related to the graviton particle.
Once I had a dream that I woke up, but I didn't actually wake up, I just dreamed that I did. It was wild
sameee thats so weird u wake up in a dream but it was a dream in the dream
@@fritzsmith3296 damn i commented this a year ago, time really flies
I have the weirdest dreams and they're so vivid and memorable. I always wake up and try to review what happened as soon as I can so I don't forget what happened in it. I love my dreams. I've gotten ideas for books (that are turning out pretty good) and names and different perspectives on things. Dreams are really important, in my opinion. You can do so much! I've actually realized it's a dream and instead of waking myself up, I gained control for a little bit and stopped myself from having a falling dream before.
Dreams is how God speaks to us, we are all spiritual beings, always watch out for your dreams, there is also demonic dreams that come from the evil one, To see God's dreams and what he has planned for your life, what we do is we repent of our sins (Letting go of all our sins) and say Lord I am a sinner, I need to be forgiven so I don't perish in the eternal lake of fire, we pray in Jesus name, than we will be reborn with a new mind, heart and desires to thirst for righteousness, for we have all fallen to sin and the glory of God but we can all be forgiven when we come to The Lord Jesus, most importantly to have faith in Jesus and to have a relationship with him so we can be let in his kingdom (Heaven). May God bless you all
My brother says he has only ever had ONE dream when he was a kid. He was walking down stairs, his shoes untied. He got halfway down, he tied his shoe, and got to the bottom of the stairs and then woke up.
He swears on his life he has never dreamed since. I said thats impossible but he is very adamant otherwise. Tbh i believe him, he is so nonchalant about it and isnt bothered by it at all. He says he realizes he is falling asleep and then boom he is awake again.
Also he says sleep paralysis sounds like the most terrifying thing ever and couldnt imagine going through it.
Have you thought that might be the only dream he remembers?
@@Serenity_Grace_Music I remember only a few of my dreams.
That may be a reason or he hasn't gotten proper sleep since then.
I guess this or he hasn't reached the dreaming stage since then
I havent dreamed since last year tbh
But then again I have Dejavou (or however you spell) nomally three times a week.
I cant remember the last time i had a nightmare. Its been a while. I can only remember a few from my past
Did you ever feel that you've been in dream for a long time, like days or more.
Then suddenly you wake up and had to make your brain resume to real life problems. As if we are loading previous saved games.
Pretty much. Sometimes my dreams are so "real" that I have to spend some time adjusting to this world, when I wake up.
I accidentally discovered lucid dreaming as a kid. I'd set my alarm clock an hour before I had to get up because I loved the feeling of still being able to go back to sleep lol. But it was in this last hour that I'd start to have dream after dream, one after the other. Eventually beginning to lucid dream. It was something to look forward to every night. But as I got older, busier and more tired I stopped waking up an hour early and they faded away. I still get the random lucid dream a couple times a year at least.
hahaha omg i know this isn’t the point of the comment but i thought i was the only one who sets an early alarm just so i can have the satisfaction of turning off the alarm and falling back asleep 😆
I once lost my glasses at a friends house and a week or two later I dreamed I was looking for them again and found them behind a shelf in her room. A few days later I went back and looked behind the same shelf and there they were.
I feel like something like this is significant but then I dream I threw my TV off a cliff as some kid from like 6th grade screams at me to turn the music up.
Thats lucid dreaming write a list and it can answer questions usually I intend to remember my dreams tonight may take several attempts. Also might not work if sleep or mood bad. Very helpful to solve problems.
I had several episodes of a dream continued like a netflix series
same. sometimes i'll have dreams that are set in the same universe/storyline as other dreams, sometimes even years apart.
I can control my dreams
most of my dreams happen in the same fictional city
same, theres a very specific dream timline that i havent been able to return to for months and im sad about it, i miss my dream family
I do this on purpose. I have recurring characters, places, villains, storylines, ect. Even some of my dream memories connect the dreams together. It's like having a second life
I haven't dreamed a lot lately but when I dream, it's like I'm living a life that I never lived. These realities have properties that break the laws of physics but also carry a very real aspect of real life. Emotions. It's scary to think about because I can still be sad or mad or happy in dreams. What causes these emotions can be anything from a sentient planet or a beautiful woman stabbing me in my neck with a kitchen knife. Dreams are strange. But are they really? They are more than likely a doorway to your unconscious imagination.
You always dream, you just don’t remember it at all.
Well maybe you dream, but the dream is mainly blurry to remember? IDK-
sometimes I just wanna stay in my dream forever
Agree
@@mpred8606 Same
I think that we are living a video game and the dreams are just cut-scenes. Most of us have the same types of cut-scenes but the characters are different and altered towards you.
I don’t have nightmares but I had this weird nightmare as a kid where I woke up in the middle of the night and was going to the bathroom but every sound around me was loud. Like a pin drop would be so louder and every step was magnified. That freaked me out and even now I sometimes feel like that sometimes.
Yes! Me too! I also sometimes get a weird feeling, like the voice in my head is too loud. I need to move quick or I will freak out about something
I could literally fall asleep at how soothing your voice is
Imagine

We dream so the magical goblins that steal our socks don’t wake us up.

When we dream we access parallel universes

Those damn Goblins , they dont want my Motorcyclesocks for some Reason .
No way I had a dream about them yesterday
My most hated dreams : #1paralyzed with a demon sitting on my chest, #2my teeth falling out, #3running from some kind of threat but running extremely slow, #4fighting someone and my punches are in slow motion, and #5 sitting in a courtroom and the jury have no faces and are slowly shaking their head at me saying "this is bad". I have one of these dreams at least once a week. Sleep paralysis sucks
I feel like I can remember a lot of dreams it's wierd. Sometimes I think about nightmares i had weeks/months prior with chills.
Once , I had a dream where Bruno Mars was giving me a motivational speech lol, I don't even listen to his music.
lol ))))))))
😂
Hahahahaha
Maybe you should start listening to Bruno Mars. His music might motivate you in a very significant way.
An observation from personal experience: If I wake from a dream but don't move and fall asleep again soon after in the exact same position, I will usually rejoin the same dream, or a thread of the same dream. Turning over ALWAYS dispels the original dream and a new one starts. Useful to remember depending on whether the dream was a good one or a nightmare. Try it.
What does you mean by turning over?
Also whenever I slept back after momentarily waking up
I always had lucid dream continuation of the previous dream
@@SBImNotWritingMyNameHere By 'turning over' I mean turning your body into a different sleeping position before going back to sleep. I am a side sleeper, so turning onto my other side before going back to sleep changes my dream.
i wonder if this is why i never remember my dreams, im always tossing &
turning.
i'm going to start taking notes
Although, I do have visual dreams, my dreams don't always have visuals. For example, I don't always get a visual of a beach, but the concept or essence of a beach is still in my head. It very hard to describe. Also, I haven't had a single nightmare since I was very young.
I remember making incredibly complex lyrics for rap songs and poetry in my dreams even though I've never done it in my life. The only problem is I can hardly remember them.
Lol same
@@midnightgamer2158 one of my dreams I rhymed two really long words with each other in a cohesive sentence and it was incredible. I have no idea what the words were.
"lucky this goes away pretty quickly"

The only thing dreams can’t stop us from, is going to the bathroom
Lol
Oh wait
Several times in my dreams I’m going to the bathroom in the toilet but I’m actually peeing myself in my bed lmao
You've obviously never wet the bed before😅
When I was a kid I dreamt with a toilet fairly often, and sometimes I fell for it. It took me some time to distinguish between a real and fake toilet.
There’s always a dream for me that doesn’t last more than a minute - I am on the verge of falling asleep and instead of *seeing* myself fall, I feel it and then I wake up. It’s just a swoop but it’s so annoying it’s an everlasting nightmare.
Lucid dreams are real. I've been lucid dreaming since I was a kid. And being a introvert and an artist, it has really helped me with my work and mental health.
Nice. I've been trying MILD for 7 months now but no progress.
It's been a year-long saga for me- I had gotten questions, doubts, and answers about lucid dreaming, and any possibilities that come with it. Even with only minor success I can finally say with confidence that even the most insane stories are true.
we need more shower thoughts my dude. they make my brain hurt but i like them
Imagine every time we go to sleep we die on that reality and our mind wakes us up on another pararell universe
Then how come we see other people sleep then wake up
@@habib6806 lol true
What if dreams are our consciousness traveling to another dimension and Lucid Dreaming is when the consciousness is being aware of being in the other dimension?? 🤔🤔
Isekai lol
Habib Ogunbanwo is someone waking up from another dimension. You see there’s the chance that someone just doesn’t wake up.
The past few days, I've woke up and decided to sleep a little longer. I feel like I'm half conscious, so I'm half aware about dreams. It's usually 2 people standing around talking, and whenever they're talking about something I don't like, I'm able to either change the conversation, snap out of the dream, or walk out of frame in the dream.
It's interesting that in many dreams we are living a completely different life with different memories and past events. It really feels like your memories have been altered and your real life never even existed.
We dream to tease ourselves with impossibilities never to be realized in waking life. The same goes for our art. Our lives are microscopically short, our bodies are almost laughably small and limited in ability comparison to the rest of the universe. We create, and by extension dream, to, at least to a slight degree, experience that which we cannot experience within our lifespans or within the constraints of physical laws.
We're all masochists, to varying degrees. Whether that's for better or for worse is up to the individual to determine.
:^)
this is deep
Another Virtual Identity of Someone Who Isn't Me
The difference between the one who is God of this universe and you, the god who is of your head, is that the former's dominion encompasses the entire world of reality, always constant and real, whereas the latter is a meek power over an ephemeral kingdom of a single inhabitant. One is greater than than the other, I think most would agree.
On a side note, pretension and insults make for very poor argument. If my explanation is ignorant, explain how. If my explanation is lowly, explain how. You present claims, not arguments.
So basically wish fulfillment. That’s what Sigmund Freud argued too.
I have dreamed of conversations I have with people 2 weeks later word for word
Bro same it’s like deja vu
???
NaNi?
That was probably just de ja vu
Honestly...dreams are the best. I love dreams. My life is so boring that dreams are the ONLY thing that gives me fun or emotions. Getting sucked from the one dream to another is fascinating. It's sad that most of my friends don't remember them and i can't really discuss them or get them into huge discussion on: "why do we dream" "What does this or that means in our dreams"
The most uncomfortable dream I've ever had was when I was shot.
the bullet itself didn't hurt. The parts that was so uncomfortable was the loss of blood. And seeing it seep out of the bullet hole..
Ugh.
Anyone just never remember their dreams? Like I just remember the awfully weird parts.
@Nicholas Garcia Yeah same
Same here. Especially the parts that make no sense
I tend to remember them VERY well for the first few seconds after waking up, then minutes go by and I remember the big events and shortly after that I almost completely forget them and only remember a few tiny fragments.
I hate it when you try and remember what your dream was a few minutes after and you completely forget most of which what happened
I hardly ever remember mine for some reason which sucks because I love dreaming
I’ve had multiple dreams where somebody had tried to kill me 0.0

Haven’t a had a dream I remembered since very young. Good amount of sleep and on no meds or anything . However, meditating on psychedelics, I was able to lucid dream while fully awake! Mind blowing 🤯
Fascinating. My dreams are rather mundane and I really only remember random images or feelings they elicit. I wake remembering a pretty face or a sense of enjoyment. But I do have a recurrent dream that is specific and detailed that is very stressful and exhausting. I've had it for as long as I remember and it seems to have little to do with my waking life.
The purpose of Dreams is to steal Technoblade's clout.

@@sarahabubaker1917 thanks
@Andrew Spliffilin nuts what
To me dreams are like a montage of things that already happened and they are put together in a blender, sometimes you dream about what you need and desires and anxiety just creates nightmares, dreaming about falling or dying, or like when you haven't fully entered sleep and you get that feeling you're falling for a second i believe all that's due to anxiety and while you're asleep, you fight the anxiety with your dreams.
Lucid dreaming is totally a thing.
I can kinda control my dreaming/waking self by really focusing on a thing while trying to sleep.
But, in the morning, where I am half asleep, I can remember my dreams and genuinely enjoy the stories.
But I usually just let dreams play out and I'm excitedly waiting for the next part, so I go back to sleep. So I enjoy sleeping when I can do that.
In the video its normal to see people "sleeping", but imagine being there, faking or really sleeping, and someone filming you

Okay fuck that-
Last night I dreamed I was in some sort of dark-ish room (I think it was a movie theater but I'm not sure) and there were a bunch of people. It was super lucid, so I just attacked everything and nobody stopped me till I woke up.
I always had vibrant dreams, from my childhood up until now my dreams have always been super realistic and related to things I have either experienced or likely to experience in the future. For a brief period, about 2 weeks I guess, my dreams were terrifyingly accurate about the future. One day I had this dream on a Sunday night, went to school the very next day and told my friend about the dream; bare in mind that the classes haven't started yet. The very first lesson, ( when my dream took place) which started off as pretty normal suddenly turned really weird. Like goosebumps kinda weird. Not like horror movie type at all but rather there were details that perfectly aligned with the dream. The most vivid part of the dream was the ending, so by that time I was already freaked out because everything was happening out of the ordinary. In the dream I made some sort of proposal. So by the end of the lesson, up to that point everything went along with the dream, I freaked out big time and got out of class in a rush. My question Is that is it possible to experience the future with such precision of what I saw in my dream
I have felt the same thing
sometimes all i have to look forward to in a day is dreaming. i'm thankful for it!
*His videos always give me vibes of "Inception".*
So accurate
I've had a dream of falling but lmao, it was funny, I fell accidentally first and bounced on the floor and survived, so I started jumping for fun, some time later I realised something's wrong and woke up
When we dream we are seeing through the eyes of alternate versions of us
My dreams are always super vivid. I can usually describe them in intricate details (as long as I don't wait too long). It never feels like I'm making them up, especially since I've always cared about accuracy. Sometimes, I write them down & maybe share with a few others. I have bad dreams here & there, but they're not necessarily "nightmares." I often find myself flying in my dreams, usually with wings. Many fictional characters have appeared in... I'd say roughly half of my dreams.
In every dream, there's always this feeling in the back of my mind; I'm currently dreaming. I feel like if I could just get myself to fully acknowledge that feeling while dreaming, I could possibly take control of whatever dream I'm in. Maybe someday... or night, lol.
lmao i got lucid dream Advertisement xD should i trust this AD ?

Even more intriguing, why do some never remember dreams while others do? Is it significant to forget your dreams?
My dreams are almost always super weird. First of all, they very rarely include any people I know. I'm rarely myself in them, or even human.
One of the weirdest was where I was a photon traveling through the lattice structure of some sort of crystal. Interacting with the electrons in the atoms that made up the crystal.
Another super weird one is where I was on a huge starship. I was a member of the crew, consisting of some odd looking but humanoid aliens. We discovered and made contact with a civilization of beings living inside a star. They gave us a design for some sort of machine that would alter our subatomic makeup so that we could enter the star and visit their civilization, without being vaporized by the heat or killed by the radiation. Some of the crew, including myself went through this process and visited one of their "cities", inside the star. There were structures made from some sort of exotic type of matter, and so were the inhabitants. They were non-humanoid, shape-shifter like life forms that looked like blobs of dense, glowing plasma. They said they came from another universe, and that the inside of stars was the only place in our universe that wasn't harmful to them. My alarm clock woke me up, and I spent the rest of the day thinking about that dream feeling like I, and the world around me, wasn't real.
Waking from dreams like these is agony...
Has anyone else felt pain in their dreams? I don't know how but I've felt punches and could feel my muscles tense. One specific dream I remember was when the ghost like thing was floating above me and kept punching me while I was on the ground. It didn't necessarily hurt but it felt like my back was "asleep" and was cramping at the same time.
i once felt a cat bite in a dream
I felt my legs break in a dream of falling off a 30ft building
Felt getting stabbed in the stomach by Freddy Krueger.
Is it weird that I lucid dream on the daily like I can control my dream every time I dream
Same
Lucky
Yo same! I thought everyone could but I asked all my friends and family member but they said that they cant control their dreams.
Same xD
For me I usually have semi control of my dream I can control things but I don’t fully understand I’m in a dream
Imagine a caveman having a dream about inventing fire, and then he decided to do so.
In my theory, dreams are our other selves in other universes living their other lives.
So you telling me it's a zombie apocalypse happening in another universe 😭
wait so i died
Back in middle school I had incredible experiences with lucid dreams. I vividly remember having lucid dreams at least a few times each week- often more- and I would do anything and everything during them. I kept a dream journal back then too, and I would record all of my lucid adventures in it. Unfortunately, I lost the journal on vacation, and I never started a new one. It’s been years since I had lucid dreams so frequently, but even now I experience them fairly often. I’ve gone on adventures, studied for tests, played with my favorite pokemon, and all sorts of cool things... Dreams really are incredible things!!
Just one thing to look out for though... Lucid nightmares are NOT fun. I had a bunch of those in my high school years, especially during junior/senior year when I was highly stressed. They were often followed by sleep paralysis too, and it was a killer combo... Just as lucid dreams let me play out ideal scenarios as I saw fit, lucid nightmares strapped me in for rollercoaster through my deepest fears.
The closest thing I had to a lucid dream was when I had a dream where I did something really embarrassing and in my shame I realized, "wait, none of this is real. I'm asleep right now" but instead of doing a bunch of cool stuff I literally just woke myself up irl so I wouldn't have to deal with the humiliation.
For mild entertainment, I like to imagine that our dreams are sort of fragmented portals into our other selves in different universes. Nothing linear, Past, present, future all commingling. Any and every experience is game.
Wow, this means that in another universe I'm eating soup with stalin and shrek. NiCe
@@bryanfongo327 Hey, you never know :)
I actually kinda buy that concept.
Dude, I wrote the same comment I didn't see yours. lol XD 🤣🤣🤣
My mum climbed, jumped from a tree and then bellyflopped onto a car, in a lake. Alternate realities are very cool.
That thing about precognitive dreams literally happens to me all the time. But it's only specific to me. For example take any scene from a movie, literally. Like John Wick's dog dying. For me that scene plays in my head while I'm asleep. When I wake up, I have a decent chance of remembering it. Then, atleast 3 days to months later that EXACT scene plays over again, except in real life with full attention to detail. And the funny part is, I know im both my dream and the moment it happens that I know its happening because I get light headed and do weird things to try and "break" the mirror as it were.
So basicially I've been able to predict the future but not fully since I barely remember the moment until it happens. But if I could focus on it somehow I'm sure whenever I have those dreams I could remember it and call it up moments before it actually starts to happen.
I`ve never been so happy to be subscribed to a channel, Thank you very much Aperture, keep it up, you matter.
A year ago I did an experiment. I started sleeping with music playing to see if I could hear the music in my dreams. After about 2 weeks it actually worked. I dreamt I was in a cafeteria and it had music playing, music I has in my playlist. I had kept an alarm everyday at 6 so if I heard it I could backtrack and find out when I heard it. I did and I was actually listening to the song at 5:54
I've also played music while sleeping for long periods, I never consciously tried to see if the music was interpreted in the dreams though, however I have no memory of the music being parts of any dreams and I remember dreams quite well
I did this once. My mum and my aunt were fighting so I put some piano music on really loud. I don’t remember what the dream was though
Bro I sleep every night with music
Tooth falling out? I've never experienced that.
i have discovered you 3 months ago through shower thoughts but now i have learned that you're channel is much more facinating.
a few months ago I dreamt of me playing animal crossing new horizons and enjoying it.
When I woke up I got pissed because I didn't have the game so I bought it lmao
omg 😂
Better hope you aren’t in a shared island
step 1: make game
step 2: wait for people to dream about it
step 3: profit

I’ve had sleep paralysis my whole life. But it doesn’t end after I gain muscle control again. It’s always the same thing. I feel weird for 20 to 30 min and I see what looks like hieroglyphics streaming down the wall, or wherever my vision is pointed, that eventually fades away. This happens even though I am able to move again, and only after I am able to move. Before that I just see dark shapes and a feeling of general uneasiness. It always happens this way though and I’ve always been curious if this happens to anyone else or if this is just my own personal hallucination as part of this phenomena.
It only happend once when i was kid and it was terefeing. I hope it will end soon for you. I wish you best of luck
I'm big into psychedelics and do alot of self research. After doing DMT multiple times I realized my ability to imagine/picture things has went up and I fall into this state before I fall asleep that's pretty similar. Look into fractals and see if its similar to what you're seeing. Your pineal gland is believed to be what let's us dream and imagine in our heads. ""Third eye"" I'm no scientist of biologist I just do alot of research. Maybe your mind is just more active than the average person, you're probably just more conscious in this state then normal. Like lucid dreaming you are just aware and awake consciously in a state you would normally be asleep in.
sipJo2000 asdf thanks for that. My first nightmare I can remember at around age 2 or 3 was a sleep paralysis dream and tbis continued most of my life. It’s been about 2 years since I’ve had an incident so it has become less frequent. It is definitely terrifying though. And when it happens I have to make sure not to go back to sleep too quickly or it can happen again multiple times in a row. Glad you have not had many experiences since the one mentioned.
Sigmodus • 8 years ago this is really interesting and I will definitely check it out. Thanks for the advice, this is a helpful response. I do actually have lucid dreams as well very frequently. Like more than half the week, every week, I will have lucid dreams those nights. They are usually apocalyptic in nature on a massive scale. But I do have some that are lower on the terror meter but involve complicated scenarios and always leave me waking up and feeling, weird, would be the best way to describe it, for a few hours after. I’ll take a look at the things you mentioned here as that is not something I would have considered.
Hope you find the answer (pls update us if you do)
anyone else have really abstract dreams? For example:
Last night I had a dream I was in a hotel and found out my sister had been killed by a man hired by her step siblings (her bio dad's children) and I had to go back in time to stop it. When I went back I ended up in my old middle school where the man was waiting for me and tried to kill me. I ran to the principals office and asked for a peace order to keep him away from my sister but that doesn't work and I end up killing him out of self defense. After that I ended up in a alternate timeline where the dude isn't out to kill us and a monster roams the hallways of the school. I found a dude in the hallway trying to hide from the monster and brought him back to a classroom where all the students had superpowers including myself for some reason and we all started preparing to fight the monster. Thats a little more complex than falling or teeth falling out so i wonder what the significance of that is. I have dreams like that all the time
I do as well!! sometimes I have dreams that are just one continuous storyline, sometimes it's just random events happening like you've written, sometimes I'm continuing a past dream and sometimes there are dreams that are repeating! i've had this dream where my family and I go on vacation, stay a little house and the owner chases me through the woods? I've had it like 3 times but it's equally as creepy each time
YES lmao, super complex dreams for what it feels like no reason lol, my dreams are like fantasy adventures.
Something like this has happened to me. I had a lucid dream that i was sleeping.then i woke up( i was still in the dream) went to the bathroom and washed my face(basically my morning routine). Then i looked in the mirror and my face started turning red. (I have a caramel type skin color)between here ✋🏼and here✋🏽) so it was weird. It then started to get bumpy and i have really smooth skin so i started screeming (again thinking i was awake) i then remembered i was tired so i went back fo bed. Then i woke up(still in the dream) then walked around my house. I then remembered a video about lucid dreams i watched and the guy said dont think about where your body is because it will wake u up. I then thought about my body once i found out i was asleep. Then i ACTUALLY woke up.
When i tell u i had never been so confused in my entire life
The times I’ve experienced sleep paralysis I just close my eyes till it passes because it terrifies me that my braian could make me see things that are not there 😬
I once had a dream where I got swallowed by a whale, lived inside it, got out and interviewed the whale about why it ate me. What does this mean?
You should read the bible passage about Jonah and the whale.
Hahahahahahaha
how does this man manage to outdo himself every video
he must be a jedi or something
good question
He's a dreamer
When the titanic was set to sail my great grandma and her then boyfriend were set to ride it however her mom got scared and told her boyfriend she'd get a plane and meet him in New York... The night it sank she had a very vivid dream that it sank and that her boyfriend died... Everyone called her crazy until they read the paper that morning and it had indeed sank with her boyfriend in it.... If she had got on the titanic then I wouldn't be here today and I often think about that....
Edit: I also had the only lusid dream I ever remember happening last night where I held someone's hand and I could feel it... It was honestly quite weird because I had butterflies and everything....
Dreams within dreams are absolutely insane!
anyone else listen to his videos while trying to fall asleep
No because of the ads

Yup ... it is
Priest Aguilar I have fallen asleep to it.
this must be the best compliment he would ever get in life
You are the best UA-cam channel out there you never cease to make any subject super interesting
If you get sleep paralysis, move your fingers, acknowledge the fact that you're awake and you're dreaming, when your finger starts to move, force yourself to roll to one side.
There's always something on the shadows when I feel it, but accepting the fact that I'm dreaming helps with waking myself up and moving once again.
I have a question: recently i had a dream, where in which, i had a lucid dream, but woke up still in a dream. is that a lucid dream, or a dream of a lucid dream? Edit: I have also had a precognitive dream about a break up, 3 days before it happened.
i think the precognitive dream was just a coincidence; anyone can break up with their partner
@@nick-st7jx i dont agree with you. I have had it all my life and i know i am not exeption. That kind of dreams last for a few seconds and may ocure mounths or in some cases years after i dremth. And i dont think it is coincidance
I also had a dream as a kid where I woke up in the dream, fell off my bed a couldn’t move then I saw a doll crawling towards me.
I woke as I fell off my bed irl.
@@qarinah8586 are you talking about Deja Vu?
This happened to me, I was dreaming I was dreaming, and in the latter dream I realised I was dreaming, so I tried to lucid dream in that dream, not realising I was dreaming about lucid dreaming in a dream.
such a high quality channel, love the content..
pretty educational, too
Sometimes my dreams predict the future. So yes they probably do mean something
plot twist: dreaming lets you get out of the simulation of the universe and dreams are real life and real life is a simulation

@@tsiboukiatoliontari7017 yea
You are literally so underrated. Keep it up my dude
your voice is really calming and the topics are really cool :D
From someone who dreams a lot, other than subconscious metaphoric messages that may indicate my thought/belief patterns or deepest desires, processing or healing emotional/mental wounds that results to an "aha!" realizations in the waking life, sometimes they are completely random wtf dreams, sometimes there are dreams that are like "mini spoilers" for the future that can get me like "ok wtf I saw this before". Yeahhhh... dreams are weiiirrdd
I mostly dream being in school and talking to friends and normal stuff Anyone have an explanation
You're in school and that's the main thing in your life
