In my first nightmare since my teens, I was trying to scream while being pinned to the ceiling by a dark shadow. My GF woke me because all that came out was a quiet but persistent "Urrrrrgh! Urrrrgh!"
Dreams getting details completely wrong is hilarious to me, one time i had a dream in which i saw some sort boat float in the river near my house and after like 10 seconds of looking straight at it i realize the river is going the exact opposite direction it normally goes, back up into the mountains and i go "wait that's not right" and immediately wake up lol
Once i was floating above a ruined village of some sort. You know floating in the air as it is just normal. I noticed that I could not see the horizon as it was cloaked in a synthetic mist. I complained that it was using a cheap rendering and that it could be done better. The dream paused and the horizon was rendered. I woke up laughing wildly.
One time I tried punching someone in a dream, but I woke up a split second before my fist hit the other person's face. However, for some reason my punch carried over from my dream into my waking state. So I woke up to my fist slamming into my bedroom wall lmao
I had an odd, mostly asleep thing a few times where I was dreaming I was using my phone, but I was just on the edge of consciousness and I noticed my hand involuntarily going through the motions in my dream.
Many times I've tried to throw punches in my dreams, often in situations I didn't recognize the actions, or why I was doing it, although I knew I was angry at the person I was trying to punch. I did not connect with any of them. But one time I threw the punch, started connect, and woke just like you to finish the punch. Then one time I threw a punch and did connect. The consequences weren't great; extra negative karma for me (but I did knock down my opponent). But you can connect your swings and punches in your dreams if you so desire. it's just not a good idea to me. You can prime yourself to do it by suggestion, and it takes practice and journaling your dreams. As far as dreams go, you can't generalize, because dreams are highly individual. Heck! I've even had someone on the floor unable to move, and when he tried to get up, I kicked his groin! After that, I had one chase dream where I was the chased one, but I turned around and became the chaser. After that, I had no more chase dreams. You _can_ fight in dreams. When you do, it has meaning for you, but you have to decide what it means to you. And if it is worth it to you. (It's not worth it to me.) I bid you good dreams and happy journeys.
I study martial arts, and I have always wondered why I couldn't punch in my dreams early in life. flying is good, I like flying. teleportation is difficult because of continuity.
A study done on basketball players had half of them think about throwing a ball instead of normal practice. They still improved on par with the control group, despite training only in their minds. A pro is able to improve the skill by conscious thought about practice, since practice is in fact an exercise in consciously doing a thing in order to improve.
I had this exact problem! I used to do martial arts for several years as-well, but what was really aggravating to me was that whenever i dreamed of being in a fight, I would feel really slow and weak
whenever i use a gun in a dream, its terrifyingly accurate and realistic. but most other things feel off and surreal. maybe its just a familiarity/memory thing like the vid said?
I don't punch in dreams, when I fight, I kick, and it feels very real. I suddenly wake up and find that I kicked in real life. Somehow my subconscious is able to override sleep paralysis.
That's a known thing that effects some people. It's like the opposite of sleep paralysis where the brain enters REM but doesn't fully shut down skeletal muscles. People either twitch, punch, kick talk or yell in their sleep.
@@venera13 I actually experience both at different times. Sometimes I'll sleep talk or I'll kick the wall next to my bed, other times like this morning I'll get sleep paralysis and feel like some creature is standing over me, starting at me, waiting on me to look at it, just to see the look in my eyes when it kills me. I could *feel* the thing's *hair* on my arm and side and I instinctively knew it was basically an embodiment of death itself. And it made this absolutely horrendous sound, like some unholy combination of the girl from Grudge or whatever, a dog barking, rusted metal creaking and bending, a dolphin, the witch enemy from left 4 dead, and TV static. I never want to hear that sound again. But I couldn't move. Or rather, only slightly, I could open my eyes, look around, move my head, and move my mouth, but nothing else. It was awful. The worst part? It was the 3rd time I had sleep paralysis, so I knew what was happening when I first woke up, but the first time wasn't actually scary, it was just this weird state of seeing the dream world overlaid onto the real world, it wasn't pleasant but yeah. And the second time, it was actually a good "dream", with me having dreamt that my gf at the time was sleeping on top of me and that's why I couldn't move (except she lived in another country). This time was so jarring.
@@venera13 Funny enough, I yelled at my Grand mother relatively recently (she slept nearby) and it carried over to RL, because in my dream she didn't close the door to the bathroom, where I was sitting on the WC xD
I can sometimes override my sleep paralysis too. I used to use it to physically tear myself out of a too scary dream by violently throwing my body to the left. Fortunately I remember which side of my bed that I sleep on so that I don't throw myself off the bed and hit my head on the night stand. But for the last few years, now that I know I can tear myself out if a dream gets too scary, I've been letting the dreams play out, to see where they take me. I can often change something in my dream as it's happening, to get a better outcome. And I can usually do the same things in my dreams as I can do in real-life. Dreaming is an adventure to me now. Sometimes I think it is too bad that we only remember the dreams we have right before we wake up.
My dreams are actually very realistic, and usually involve the events of the same day I fell asleep. It's like I'm reliving the day of work I just finished, only with events in the wrong order or certain things repeated. When I was a kid, my dreams had the surreal quality described in this video, but they became more "real" as I got older and stopped being random or made-up.
I feel so weak, so powerless during dreams when I have to defend myself, my arm feels like it's made of rubber and just kinda stops. it's amazing that so many people have similar experiences, this demonstrates many mechanisms of the brain and how most humans have almost the same brain functions. my biggest dream desire is having lucid dreams, that has happened only once and it was nice. also have you noticed that text is impossible to read most of the time?
I find that my body has no weight when I need to run from something, so my feet have no traction and I end up just stumbling in place. As for text, I seem to be able to read in dreams only when necessary.
I once saw myself in a mirror and I've been traumatised by that. I saw a morbidly twisted face with little to no resemblance to me but it had the same clothes on. I was so happy to see my face after waking up lol. Mirror only appear in my nightmares now
This just goes to show how individual dreams are, and their unique nature manifests. Each poster here has had spectacular dream experiences. And how much richer they are if you recorded them when you wake. What an amazing journey it is for each one of us!
The thing that occured to me at a certain stage in my life around my early 20's was.. So I never remember my dreams. If I do, im usually a floating orb of observation that just freely explores Space, like a sort of exploration experience.~But~ I had this chapter in my life for about a couple years where I would have these really eerie experience's. In my dream I would fully wake up, but when I tried to move a muscle, that part of my body just started vibrating like I had immense magnetic fields pushing and vibrating harder and harder the more I tried to flex my muscles. Then, the really scary part was I would want to try and make a sound to get someone's attention. Then my voice wouldn't work, no matter how hard I tried. I'd be trying to scream and literally it just felt like a magnetic force that we've never experienced was making it impossible to make these things happen and the harder you try the harder the force would push back, which is the weirdest feelings. Like it would rev up, and you'd hit your point where you had to take a breath and un-clinch your muscle. It would rev down, then you give it your all at your attempt at full on screaming, and it would rev back up intensely. It was very very eerie. I totally understand why people who don't understand how sleep paralysis works would think a "negative force is over you and effecting you" but in reality we have to remember that it's just the illusion of the effects of the mixed signals between our brain and nervous system. Still, scary and unpleasant experience tho. Wouldn't recommend. Lol
All these sensations actaully help me realize im dreaming. Dreams are just a string of thoughts in my opinion. Thats how i control them when i lucid dream. If you break the thought train youll wake up early with sleep paralysis it happens all the time for me.
You should try not trying to wake up from sleep paralysis, and instead just go with it, you will go straight into the most incredibly vivid lucid dream you can imagine. At least that's how it was for me. It seemed like an impossible task at first because my sleep paralysis has always been so horrific, not sure if it's like this for everyone, but even if there's no demon or other horrors, my head always feels this crazy immense pressure, like it's caving in, and this is where I would get the sense of immediate doom from, like I'm dying. But eventually I managed to remind myself that I wasn't dying, plus wanting to lucid dream, and I just let go and stoped fighting the S.P. and it worked, after a short time it was like someome splashed a bucket of vivid multicolor paint directly into my field of vision, then I was in the most vivid lucid dream you could imagine, without it feeling fleeting, or hard to hang onto, where you just wake yourself up, it's in full color and you're good to go. I'm not exactly sure why, but something about entering the lucid dream this way, at least for me, seems to be the key to having the true lucid dreams you're after, where you can keep dreaming for long periods and experience time dilation. I really started to lose myself in one that felt like a long long amount of time had gone by, and it's impossible to even properly remember what the experience was like, only the profoundness of how crazy it felt, and that it started to feel like my new reality after awhile, and characters and things started to become a lot more permanent than the usual dream setting. Oh yeah, the first thing I did was punch holes in my wall, and wouldn't you know it, no punching issues!
@@brown3394 nah it was like that for me too, but I was always able to move a little bit. It didn't feel like I was numb it felt like the gravity on my limbs were stronger and it was hard to move them up. I just had sleep paralysis in class
The gravity example in this video is something that I experienced in a recent dream. I was dreaming that I was at my gyn and about to do a pull-up, but I missed grabbing the bars and was holding on to open air. This was fine though because I just used said air to pull myself up. The only gravity that was existing was a slight force that gelt like I was “sliding off” the air I was grabbing.
Just stumbled onto your channel, this is great, I predict another 100k subscribers by 2023. I'd have inserted something about the sensorimotor cortex just to include a picture of the cortical homunculus in the video, but that's just a nitpick.
I also find that water either isn’t wet or isn’t as wet as it should be, and when I’m underwater in a dream, my brain knows that I shouldn’t be able to breathe and so is surprised when I can. One of the earliest bits of weirdness that I noticed in my dreams’ physics is very closely related to the video topic: I can’t run. It feels like my body has no weight and so can’t get any traction, so I’m just stuck stumbling in place, usually with something chasing me.
I once had a dream where i was in a fight, and my limbs behaved like so weirdly, when i think about it, all i can really remember is my arms did not have a radius and i did not have elbows, but the strangest part was i was punching someone who i thought was my highschool bully, who i can remember the face of perfectly, but in the dream his face was _distorted_ but i still recognised it as his somehow even though i can't remember if it even had facial features.
@@venera13 Oh yea, I made this comment. It's funny, I've gotten so frustrated from that sluggish feeling within my dreams that I've started finding work arounds. I once had to run up a hill quickly, but it felt like the air was solidifying around me. I for some reason thought that log rolling would be faster, and it was! No sluggish feeling there!
I've had dreams with weak punches. They're usually terrifying since you feel so powerless. One time I experienced the fight scenario in bullet time though, and the punches sent my opponent flying. Something about the ability to slow down the movement and really have my brain come up with how it would impact the opponent made all the difference. I still haven't found a fix for the driving dreams where the brakes don't work...
Oh, fuck those, they’re terrifying! I’ve had a few car accidents and every time I have a “brakes don’t work” dream, I fear for my life! It doesn’t help that the car in said dreams is always a super-slidy version of my car, like the tires have next to no grip.
Ha! I knew it! I was right and I didn’t have to read a book. I just experienced it a lot. Don’t fear sleep paralysis. You can go directly into a lucid dream from that state very easily. Just close your eyes and attempt to roll onto your stomach and then climb out of your body.
Great video but I'd like to see some sources in the video description. Topics like sleep are often a bunch of speculation simply because our understanding of sleep is still so limited. I'd love to be able to dig deeper into the things you're saying
And a follow up, when lucid you can get very deep and everything becomes hyper real. You can separate your dream body from your paralyzed body with practice and move fast and do anything. Not everything is obvious. Dreams are an intuition based reality. Well, intuition is how you do things like fly, make a certain person appear. You can’t just will it into being usually unless you’re in another state entirely like an intense hypnogogic state or something. But yes, the lucid dreaming mind is incredibly powerful. With a little practice you can make things so vivid and real, in a flow state sort of , that when you wake up you feel like you’re in an 8bit console game for days. Dreams are absolutely limitless. There is nothing that you can’t experience with more clarity than waking reality. I am not exaggerating at all. If you want to do it, just write your dreams down. Just keep doing that and you’ll eventually see what I’ve seen. And it’s worth it.
That's so true ! my dreams often have no consistency in space and or time and are generally odd, like I'd be running from something in a beach during winter but then I'm next to my school during spring, I enter another room and I'm in one of rooms in my house Also whatever I try to jump, though I do it kinda rarely I jump very high and far as if the gravity was lower
My dreams tend to be pretty accurate with physics, maybe due to how much I interact with it, but the *feel* of certain things seem to be more intense. Like, if you pulled on a pully, and lifted a weight, the weight would feel like it flew up before falling to the height it should be, despite visually it didn't do that. Though usually the dreams I get tend to be vague, blurry approximations of an event that happens a few months later, like sitting at a lunch table with friends I haven't met yet.
I love trying to read in dreams and the writing is completely unintelligible. I used to write in a dream journal every day and one time I “woke up” and started writing. Then after like a paragraph I realised, I can’t read any of what I’ve just written, and it must still be a dream. It was so strange because it felt so real and vivid but it was like I had lost the ability to read
I recently kicked hard at an enemy - in a dream. The main thing saving me from serious harm was that my legs got entangled with my bed linen. I hit the wall quite hard. From a lying down position it was impressive.
Hmm, it used to be if you turned off annotations it would hide those. Don't know when that was changed. Yeah I'll re think music credits now. This song is "cool vibes" by Kevin McCloud. Thanks for pointing this out I'll fix it by just moving the cards down.
One time in a dream I became lucid and thought "I think Im in a dream" so I decided to test the world around me, I stomped my feet on the ground, looked a a stairway and walked up and down the steps I even put my hand on the wall and felt the texture of the wall, I then hit the wall and it was solid. For some reason my brain was able to simulate reality extremely well because even when I was lucid and trying to find flaws in the physics of the world it was able to be maintained. I concluded that I was not in a dream when I was. It was like my brain tried harder to make everything more realistic after I became lucid.
I can levitate in my dream, it is quite easy. Hard to control direction in-glide though. I have a hypothesis that dream happens when the sensory input prediction system get shortcut on its output. When awake, it's signal is subtracted from actual sensory input (to notice difference and get scared), but when you sleep it unfolds some meaningless chain of events from random noise it "saw" on the black "screen buffer", and said buffer is filled with that image (or maybe its inverse, in signal terms?), which then produces next "frame", etc.
That's I believe is some level of REM behavior disorder. I'm not 100% sure but I think it's like the opposite of sleep paralysis. Instead of waking up with your limbs still turnd off, you enter REM sleep with your limbs partially or fully still turnd on so activity in the brain does translate to physical action.
Happens to me sometimes, I have a lot of nightmares and it's resulted in me trying so hard that I've rolled out of bed, so much so I now have a railing installed on the side to prevent it happening
Well. I mostly get wild dreams, like on deferent worlds or video games and stuff, so reality doesn't need to make sense xD- It's almost like I have fever dreams most of the time
Interestingly, one thing that is always completely accurate in dreams for me is playing guitar. I did have one time where it didn't make sense and I got really confused, because the dream guitar wasn't like a normal one
Yeah I never even walk in my dreams I always float and the weirdest part is it feels like the floating is somehow 'tied' to my breath, like I can float as long as I can hold my breath.
*Another Strange Phenomenon:* You can't do a forward roll in your imagination (1st person. Not imagining yourself do it) You will always roll on one of your sides and not perfectly straight But try rolling the world around you while curled into a ball and it will work.
In my dreams,I try to stop this from happening but I just cant: think of a minecraft world and it's chunks. Now imagine every chunk infinitely going up or down and a black void in between the height gaps. That is what it looks like.
I often struggle to run and walk in dreams. It’s like I’m underwater or completely drunk or something and I don’t feel in control of my body. But it always happens when there’s people around who are having no trouble walking at all and it’s really embarrassing lmao
They say if you're not sure if you're dreaming, try to read something. The words either aren't there, or are just barely there, and they won't stay stable. In short, you'll know you're dreaming.
didnt know other people had this. i was frustrated punching those guys and it wouldn't hurt them as it should in real life. hands were moving fast but the impact was ridiculiously weak and it made no sense.
punching in dreams is easy, you just have to focus on the result of the punch, rather than the motion. the waking world has different rules than the dream, so you simply focus on something being punched instead of the windup, and the dream takes care of the rest for you.
I often struggle to even run in my dreams, and even in my mind. When I visualize the running animation, my legs will bend inwards and collide with each other, and even if I can correct it, the entire animation still runs VERY slowly. The bending is probably caused by my being born with bilateral clubbed feet. A birth defect that bends my feet and legs inward like golf clubs. The slow running is probably cause by my sedentary lifestyle lol.
All of these questions to me seem kind of ridiculous, my dream is so f****** weird that I would never even think to accept it as reality. All buildings are completely messed up and completely nonsensical like one dream an entire world was submerged in water halfway, humans don't really have a form at all, I can tell that they're human, but their body parts can move around or even separate from each other. Any object is completely absent of form. Like if I try to focus on it it will kind of turn into something recognizable but as soon as I stop it stops too. So it would never even occur to me to think of these as a little bit off or surreal or anything because it's just a complete mess
I just had the weirdest dream, I was being robbed and tried to punch the guy but I couldn’t but then I choked him and that worked. Then I woke up. Weird ass dream.
me: initially confused by the video's title because I'm able to punch hard in my dreams also me, but 30 seconds in: "oh it's because I have parasomnia"
Very curious since I just woke up from a dream that ended with me running away from a guy persecuting me wanting to stab me with a screw, and I ran away perfectly fine and kicked that guy in the guts perfectly fine, I mean, the sole thing that made me wake up was that I ended up also kicking in real life while I slept, and I hit the wall which made me wake up
I've never had an issue punching or kicking or any form of movement in a dream. I can't think of a single time I've experienced what you are talking about here. The only problem is that it will often translate to real movement and wake me up. I've kicked my poor kitty more than once because of this.
That's a phenomenon that's essentially the opposite of sleep paralysis. The brain doesn't fully shut down skeletal muscles resulting in actions translating to physical motion or verbal outbursts.
I thought this and not being able to walk/run properly is just a regular nightmarey thing. Like a "what if I was in this scary situation and couldn't run or fight back" kinda dream. Anyway I recently had a dream in which I finally was able to punch someone in the face repeatedly. Felt good. They deserved it.
I'm basically Saitama in my dreams until I realize that I'm dreaming. After that, the best way I can describe it is I am someone in physical therapy trying to recover from a spinal injury. What you are describing doesn't happen until I'm lucid dreaming.
That's interesting. So far most people who comment report not being able to punch. Some have said they have no issue punching but other activities feel strange. You're the first that is unable to punch after gaining awareness of the dream. Thank you for sharing that's legit fascinating to me. I wonder why that is.
I find in dreams physical harm to me hardly hurts…also physical harm to others often has little effect. A guy pinned me to a wall recently…I took out my pen and began stabbing him in the eyes…not a drop of blood, his eyes didn’t puncture and it didn’t hurt him much…sadly. Having never done that in real life I guess my sleeping brain didn’t know how to simulate it….even tho’ I could imagine it now…odd huh!
Since this is educational video you might want to change “safty first” to safety first. I know it’s petty but personally I take more stock in educational videos if words are spelled correctly and I really enjoyed your video and would hate for a silly typo to take away from the educational value.
I can't edit text in videos without deleting and re-uploading. And I do not have the video file for this anymore. Once they are uploaded that's that. However this is explained on my video on Dyslexia. Despite my best efforts I have a very hard time catching all typos.
Theres got to be more to this. As a person who lucidly dreams oftenly, I've gotten past the "barrier" a few times and got to pulverize a few individuals, but, somewhere deep in my subconscious, they were still untouchable or something because they'd never take damage. I could be punching as hard as like fucking Goku or someone capable of breaking the ground when hitting someones skull off it. Legit broken concrete in my dreams beating someone, but they kept looking back at me like "did you just tickle me?" And I'd get more confused and pissed an lose my lucidity.
Have you ever tried entering a lucid dream by not fighting to wake up during sleep paralysis and going straight into a lucid dream? This was the key for me, to have the most wild lucid dreams, with no issues "hanging on" to the dream or anything like losing the lucidity, able to have really long and the most vivid detailed lucid dreams, and experience extreme time dilation where you experience very very long periods of time in the dream world, things and characters start to gain more permanence, making it start to feel even more real, and you can really start to lose yourself in what feels like your new reality.
@@brown3394 I only achieved that once, and I don't know how to reproduce that process, I just can't with my sleeping patterns, but I tend to realize I'm in a dream when it's like way past that "half way" point. I can usually fight waking up to a degree, controlling my excitement was paramount for me to stay lucid though
@@brown3394 And on the topic of time dialation... I keep having approx 45 minute dreams, but man, they go on for *days* at a time sometimes. Those ones are so surreal to that I barely notice things being off. I can read, write, and drive correctly now in my dreams too. Took me years to be able to drive in a dream without shit going extremely haywire
You can't do simple arithmetic in dreams, either. It's one way I test myself when I'm trying to lucid dream. On a related note, I keep waking up in the early hours, going back to "sleep" and when I think I may have woken up, I check my watch. Except I'm checking it in my shallow dream without so much as opening my eyes, so I can't possibly know what the actual time is.
Bro my brain fr got me killed in my dream, it was like a nightmare with Pennywise the clown and I was opting to solve it by standing on business BUT AS I THREW THE PUNCH IT MISSES AND HAD ZERO WEIGHT TO IT 💀
I had a dream where someone broke into my apartment. I woke up, still half-asleep, thinking there was someone near the bed. I swung hard enough to throw myself out of bed, and onto the floor, LOL.
I don't get into fights much. Last I had was a few years ago and I assure you I go into fucking mortal combat mode every night with demonic strength and anime level speed
So in my dreams, no place looks right. I'll be in a different house but I'll understand it as my house. People look completely different but I'll understand them to be someone.
My dreams are usually extremely unimaginative, sometimes important details even tend to be missing entirely, like the sea at a beach. The beach was there, but there was nothing beyond. No water, no beach, no void, just null. Then again, this dream also included invisible pink elephants.
ive straight up brutaly murder monsters or possessed people in my dreams soooooooo uhhhh idk what you mean the only thing i can relate to here is that i had like 2 dreams where i was crippled and couldnt walk as fast because of how much my legs most literally hurt like i feel pain as if its real not sure if thats common or if my brain is just an asshole
also my dreams do not have weird shit goin on not even with the lighting or anything it all seems very real sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo maybe its all just speculative and we dont know yet why dreams are the way they are i mean for all you know the people just remembered their dreams wrong as is common to not remember every detail of the dream and yet i have not that its common and i can state that my dreams do not relate to this video at all
In my dreams, i don't punch, i see Heinrich Himmler in a pink jacket with Hitler's dog in the street in front of my grandma's home while walking like a drunk man, and an evil version of my dad running after me and non-euclidean stuff
I think they are just sorted differently; some categories just can't reach your consciousness anymore while others reach you longer and can even notify your consciousness aka waking you up. But that is just my own theory.
2:54 you mean to tell me that no sense of inadequacy comes into play? to me it sounds like someone who does throw punches all the time would do it better come dream time.
This is why I've opted to exploding people or objects with my mind instead of punching.
Modern problems require modern solutions.

Dreams getting details completely wrong is hilarious to me, one time i had a dream in which i saw some sort boat float in the river near my house and after like 10 seconds of looking straight at it i realize the river is going the exact opposite direction it normally goes, back up into the mountains and i go "wait that's not right" and immediately wake up lol
I offten find water isn't wet in my dreams and it's so strange.
Once i was floating above a ruined village of some sort. You know floating in the air as it is just normal. I noticed that I could not see the horizon as it was cloaked in a synthetic mist. I complained that it was using a cheap rendering and that it could be done better. The dream paused and the horizon was rendered. I woke up laughing wildly.

One time I tried punching someone in a dream, but I woke up a split second before my fist hit the other person's face. However, for some reason my punch carried over from my dream into my waking state. So I woke up to my fist slamming into my bedroom wall lmao
reminds me of how one time i screamed at someone during a dream. but i woke up to myself screaming at my wall for no reason
I had an odd, mostly asleep thing a few times where I was dreaming I was using my phone, but I was just on the edge of consciousness and I noticed my hand involuntarily going through the motions in my dream.
I did the same thing with a roundhouse kick, and dented my wall and woke up everyone else in the house.
Many times I've tried to throw punches in my dreams, often in situations I didn't recognize the actions, or why I was doing it, although I knew I was angry at the person I was trying to punch. I did not connect with any of them. But one time I threw the punch, started connect, and woke just like you to finish the punch.
Then one time I threw a punch and did connect. The consequences weren't great; extra negative karma for me (but I did knock down my opponent).
But you can connect your swings and punches in your dreams if you so desire. it's just not a good idea to me. You can prime yourself to do it by suggestion, and it takes practice and journaling your dreams.
As far as dreams go, you can't generalize, because dreams are highly individual.
Heck! I've even had someone on the floor unable to move, and when he tried to get up, I kicked his groin! After that, I had one chase dream where I was the chased one, but I turned around and became the chaser. After that, I had no more chase dreams.
You _can_ fight in dreams. When you do, it has meaning for you, but you have to decide what it means to you. And if it is worth it to you. (It's not worth it to me.)

I study martial arts, and I have always wondered why I couldn't punch in my dreams early in life.
flying is good, I like flying. teleportation is difficult because of continuity.
I was ptacticing martial arts for several years. When I tried fighting in a dream, I was still able to use correct technique, but with little power.
A study done on basketball players had half of them think about throwing a ball instead of normal practice. They still improved on par with the control group, despite training only in their minds.
A pro is able to improve the skill by conscious thought about practice, since practice is in fact an exercise in consciously doing a thing in order to improve.
I had this exact problem! I used to do martial arts for several years as-well, but what was really aggravating to me was that whenever i dreamed of being in a fight, I would feel really slow and weak
God, Whenever Im using a gun while Im dreaming I literally yell "BANG BANG"
whenever i use a gun in a dream, its terrifyingly accurate and realistic. but most other things feel off and surreal. maybe its just a familiarity/memory thing like the vid said?
HI I'M DEREK BAUM HERE WITH NEW KITCHEN GUN
I don't punch in dreams, when I fight, I kick, and it feels very real.
I suddenly wake up and find that I kicked in real life. Somehow my subconscious is able to override sleep paralysis.
That's a known thing that effects some people. It's like the opposite of sleep paralysis where the brain enters REM but doesn't fully shut down skeletal muscles. People either twitch, punch, kick talk or yell in their sleep.
@@venera13 I actually experience both at different times. Sometimes I'll sleep talk or I'll kick the wall next to my bed, other times like this morning I'll get sleep paralysis and feel like some creature is standing over me, starting at me, waiting on me to look at it, just to see the look in my eyes when it kills me. I could *feel* the thing's *hair* on my arm and side and I instinctively knew it was basically an embodiment of death itself. And it made this absolutely horrendous sound, like some unholy combination of the girl from Grudge or whatever, a dog barking, rusted metal creaking and bending, a dolphin, the witch enemy from left 4 dead, and TV static. I never want to hear that sound again. But I couldn't move. Or rather, only slightly, I could open my eyes, look around, move my head, and move my mouth, but nothing else. It was awful. The worst part? It was the 3rd time I had sleep paralysis, so I knew what was happening when I first woke up, but the first time wasn't actually scary, it was just this weird state of seeing the dream world overlaid onto the real world, it wasn't pleasant but yeah. And the second time, it was actually a good "dream", with me having dreamt that my gf at the time was sleeping on top of me and that's why I couldn't move (except she lived in another country). This time was so jarring.
@@venera13 Funny enough, I yelled at my Grand mother relatively recently (she slept nearby) and it carried over to RL, because in my dream she didn't close the door to the bathroom, where I was sitting on the WC xD
I can sometimes override my sleep paralysis too.
I used to use it to physically tear myself out of a too scary dream by violently throwing my body to the left. Fortunately I remember which side of my bed that I sleep on so that I don't throw myself off the bed and hit my head on the night stand.
But for the last few years, now that I know I can tear myself out if a dream gets too scary, I've been letting the dreams play out, to see where they take me.
I can often change something in my dream as it's happening, to get a better outcome. And I can usually do the same things in my dreams as I can do in real-life.
Dreaming is an adventure to me now.
Sometimes I think it is too bad that we only remember the dreams we have right before we wake up.
Watch youtube boxing tutorials in your dreams to fix this
I been boxing for 1 year and in my dreams my combos still weak and slow asl
My dreams are actually very realistic, and usually involve the events of the same day I fell asleep. It's like I'm reliving the day of work I just finished, only with events in the wrong order or certain things repeated. When I was a kid, my dreams had the surreal quality described in this video, but they became more "real" as I got older and stopped being random or made-up.
I feel so weak, so powerless during dreams when I have to defend myself, my arm feels like it's made of rubber and just kinda stops.
it's amazing that so many people have similar experiences, this demonstrates many mechanisms of the brain and how most humans have almost the same brain functions.
my biggest dream desire is having lucid dreams, that has happened only once and it was nice.
also have you noticed that text is impossible to read most of the time?
with text is like our brain can recognize the basic patterns that conform it, but the detailed information is lost
I find that my body has no weight when I need to run from something, so my feet have no traction and I end up just stumbling in place. As for text, I seem to be able to read in dreams only when necessary.
I once saw myself in a mirror and I've been traumatised by that. I saw a morbidly twisted face with little to no resemblance to me but it had the same clothes on. I was so happy to see my face after waking up lol. Mirror only appear in my nightmares now
The most readable thing in my dreams is probably "SCHOOL"
Damn
This just goes to show how individual dreams are, and their unique nature manifests. Each poster here has had spectacular dream experiences. And how much richer they are if you recorded them when you wake. What an amazing journey it is for each one of us!
The thing that occured to me at a certain stage in my life around my early 20's was.. So I never remember my dreams. If I do, im usually a floating orb of observation that just freely explores Space, like a sort of exploration experience.~But~ I had this chapter in my life for about a couple years where I would have these really eerie experience's. In my dream I would fully wake up, but when I tried to move a muscle, that part of my body just started vibrating like I had immense magnetic fields pushing and vibrating harder and harder the more I tried to flex my muscles. Then, the really scary part was I would want to try and make a sound to get someone's attention. Then my voice wouldn't work, no matter how hard I tried. I'd be trying to scream and literally it just felt like a magnetic force that we've never experienced was making it impossible to make these things happen and the harder you try the harder the force would push back, which is the weirdest feelings. Like it would rev up, and you'd hit your point where you had to take a breath and un-clinch your muscle. It would rev down, then you give it your all at your attempt at full on screaming, and it would rev back up intensely. It was very very eerie. I totally understand why people who don't understand how sleep paralysis works would think a "negative force is over you and effecting you" but in reality we have to remember that it's just the illusion of the effects of the mixed signals between our brain and nervous system. Still, scary and unpleasant experience tho. Wouldn't recommend. Lol
All these sensations actaully help me realize im dreaming. Dreams are just a string of thoughts in my opinion. Thats how i control them when i lucid dream. If you break the thought train youll wake up early with sleep paralysis it happens all the time for me.
You should try not trying to wake up from sleep paralysis, and instead just go with it, you will go straight into the most incredibly vivid lucid dream you can imagine. At least that's how it was for me. It seemed like an impossible task at first because my sleep paralysis has always been so horrific, not sure if it's like this for everyone, but even if there's no demon or other horrors, my head always feels this crazy immense pressure, like it's caving in, and this is where I would get the sense of immediate doom from, like I'm dying.
But eventually I managed to remind myself that I wasn't dying, plus wanting to lucid dream, and I just let go and stoped fighting the S.P. and it worked, after a short time it was like someome splashed a bucket of vivid multicolor paint directly into my field of vision, then I was in the most vivid lucid dream you could imagine, without it feeling fleeting, or hard to hang onto, where you just wake yourself up, it's in full color and you're good to go. I'm not exactly sure why, but something about entering the lucid dream this way, at least for me, seems to be the key to having the true lucid dreams you're after, where you can keep dreaming for long periods and experience time dilation. I really started to lose myself in one that felt like a long long amount of time had gone by, and it's impossible to even properly remember what the experience was like, only the profoundness of how crazy it felt, and that it started to feel like my new reality after awhile, and characters and things started to become a lot more permanent than the usual dream setting.
Oh yeah, the first thing I did was punch holes in my wall, and wouldn't you know it, no punching issues!
@@brown3394 nah it was like that for me too, but I was always able to move a little bit. It didn't feel like I was numb it felt like the gravity on my limbs were stronger and it was hard to move them up. I just had sleep paralysis in class
The gravity example in this video is something that I experienced in a recent dream.
I was dreaming that I was at my gyn and about to do a pull-up, but I missed grabbing the bars and was holding on to open air. This was fine though because I just used said air to pull myself up. The only gravity that was existing was a slight force that gelt like I was “sliding off” the air I was grabbing.
I'm an absolute tank in my dreams fighting in the dream world just comes naturally for me
Just stumbled onto your channel, this is great, I predict another 100k subscribers by 2023. I'd have inserted something about the sensorimotor cortex just to include a picture of the cortical homunculus in the video, but that's just a nitpick.
I love your editing style! You're like a more sciencey version of scaretheater
Thanks, I try doing 3D graphics where I can, and when the topic dosen't really allow for that I just do stuff like this more.
I also find that water either isn’t wet or isn’t as wet as it should be, and when I’m underwater in a dream, my brain knows that I shouldn’t be able to breathe and so is surprised when I can.
One of the earliest bits of weirdness that I noticed in my dreams’ physics is very closely related to the video topic: I can’t run. It feels like my body has no weight and so can’t get any traction, so I’m just stuck stumbling in place, usually with something chasing me.
Whenever I jump in a dream I fall really slowly. Sometimes I fall so slowly that I somehow end up higher than I started.
I once had a dream where i was in a fight, and my limbs behaved like so weirdly, when i think about it, all i can really remember is my arms did not have a radius and i did not have elbows, but the strangest part was i was punching someone who i thought was my highschool bully, who i can remember the face of perfectly, but in the dream his face was _distorted_ but i still recognised it as his somehow even though i can't remember if it even had facial features.
I've had loads of fights in dreams. Although I often lose the ability to drive or ride a bike.
I once woke up running into a wall next to my bed it was kinda terrifying
Could this apply to the many instances where I try to scream or yell and all that comes out is a feeble whisper?
Yes
@@venera13 Oh yea, I made this comment. It's funny, I've gotten so frustrated from that sluggish feeling within my dreams that I've started finding work arounds.
I once had to run up a hill quickly, but it felt like the air was solidifying around me. I for some reason thought that log rolling would be faster, and it was! No sluggish feeling there!
In a lot of my dreams, I try to read something but it’s all gibberish.
The other is that I’m driving and it’s black or foggy; I can not see.
I've had dreams with weak punches. They're usually terrifying since you feel so powerless. One time I experienced the fight scenario in bullet time though, and the punches sent my opponent flying. Something about the ability to slow down the movement and really have my brain come up with how it would impact the opponent made all the difference. I still haven't found a fix for the driving dreams where the brakes don't work...
Oh, fuck those, they’re terrifying! I’ve had a few car accidents and every time I have a “brakes don’t work” dream, I fear for my life! It doesn’t help that the car in said dreams is always a super-slidy version of my car, like the tires have next to no grip.
I have punched many times in dreams. Could be being a natural lucid dreamer, but I have no restrictions in my dreams.
one time i had a dream where i tried punching someone i didnt like and the next thing i knew i actually threw hands at my desk next to my bed
Ha! I knew it! I was right and I didn’t have to read a book. I just experienced it a lot. Don’t fear sleep paralysis. You can go directly into a lucid dream from that state very easily. Just close your eyes and attempt to roll onto your stomach and then climb out of your body.
Great video but I'd like to see some sources in the video description. Topics like sleep are often a bunch of speculation simply because our understanding of sleep is still so limited. I'd love to be able to dig deeper into the things you're saying
And yeah, nothing feels off in my dreams but sometimes I can’t throw a punch. But like I said it’s always when I’m close to waking up.
When i want to punch it makes in a semi conscious state of dream where i think "hold on, rewind and try again"
And a follow up, when lucid you can get very deep and everything becomes hyper real. You can separate your dream body from your paralyzed body with practice and move fast and do anything. Not everything is obvious. Dreams are an intuition based reality. Well, intuition is how you do things like fly, make a certain person appear. You can’t just will it into being usually unless you’re in another state entirely like an intense hypnogogic state or something. But yes, the lucid dreaming mind is incredibly powerful. With a little practice you can make things so vivid and real, in a flow state sort of , that when you wake up you feel like you’re in an 8bit console game for days. Dreams are absolutely limitless. There is nothing that you can’t experience with more clarity than waking reality. I am not exaggerating at all. If you want to do it, just write your dreams down. Just keep doing that and you’ll eventually see what I’ve seen. And it’s worth it.
That's so true ! my dreams often have no consistency in space and or time and are generally odd,
like I'd be running from something in a beach during winter but then I'm next to my school during spring, I enter another room and I'm in one of rooms in my house
Also whatever I try to jump, though I do it kinda rarely I jump very high and far as if the gravity was lower
My dreams tend to be pretty accurate with physics, maybe due to how much I interact with it, but the *feel* of certain things seem to be more intense. Like, if you pulled on a pully, and lifted a weight, the weight would feel like it flew up before falling to the height it should be, despite visually it didn't do that. Though usually the dreams I get tend to be vague, blurry approximations of an event that happens a few months later, like sitting at a lunch table with friends I haven't met yet.
I love trying to read in dreams and the writing is completely unintelligible. I used to write in a dream journal every day and one time I “woke up” and started writing. Then after like a paragraph I realised, I can’t read any of what I’ve just written, and it must still be a dream. It was so strange because it felt so real and vivid but it was like I had lost the ability to read
Ah yes reading! That's another I notice as well. Books always seem to be nonsensical in my dreams.
I never had that problem in my dreams, moreover the are highly realistic.
I recently kicked hard at an enemy - in a dream. The main thing saving me from serious harm was that my legs got entangled with my bed linen. I hit the wall quite hard. From a lying down position it was impressive.
could you put the music credits in the description
the suggested videos in the end block the name of the music
Hmm, it used to be if you turned off annotations it would hide those. Don't know when that was changed. Yeah I'll re think music credits now. This song is "cool vibes" by Kevin McCloud.
Thanks for pointing this out I'll fix it by just moving the cards down.
One time in a dream I became lucid and thought "I think Im in a dream" so I decided to test the world around me, I stomped my feet on the ground, looked a a stairway and walked up and down the steps I even put my hand on the wall and felt the texture of the wall, I then hit the wall and it was solid. For some reason my brain was able to simulate reality extremely well because even when I was lucid and trying to find flaws in the physics of the world it was able to be maintained. I concluded that I was not in a dream when I was. It was like my brain tried harder to make everything more realistic after I became lucid.
I can levitate in my dream, it is quite easy. Hard to control direction in-glide though.
I have a hypothesis that dream happens when the sensory input prediction system get shortcut on its output. When awake, it's signal is subtracted from actual sensory input (to notice difference and get scared), but when you sleep it unfolds some meaningless chain of events from random noise it "saw" on the black "screen buffer", and said buffer is filled with that image (or maybe its inverse, in signal terms?), which then produces next "frame", etc.
Fascinating video thanks, the algorithm has brought me to your intriguing channel. Would you be interested in making a video about falling dreams?
Glad you like my videos. It's a possibility, what aspect of falling dreams?
or run away. running feels like my legs don't work.. wobbly.. a kind of fear, idk.
Whenever people talk about this I automatically think about the Raiden punching Armstrong meme.
Thank you for not saying the stupidly false "it's because you don't feel wind on your hands".
I've never heard that before. One could day that's a bad way of saying sensory feedback.
this exact type of content is why you get my sub lmao
I don't think I've ever punched anyone in a dream. I can't walk or run, though, which is very frustrating, and which you've described well.
My (now) ex did a pretty good job when she woke me up with a kind of soft punch to the jaw. Still not something either of us wanted to wake up to!
That's I believe is some level of REM behavior disorder. I'm not 100% sure but I think it's like the opposite of sleep paralysis. Instead of waking up with your limbs still turnd off, you enter REM sleep with your limbs partially or fully still turnd on so activity in the brain does translate to physical action.
Happens to me sometimes, I have a lot of nightmares and it's resulted in me trying so hard that I've rolled out of bed, so much so I now have a railing installed on the side to prevent it happening
that dog picture really cracked me up
Well. I mostly get wild dreams, like on deferent worlds or video games and stuff, so reality doesn't need to make sense xD-
It's almost like I have fever dreams most of the time
The use of Garry's mod and Unity Ui was a nice touch haha
I was thinking about how to show questionable and uncanny physics. Gmod was the obvious choice.
When lucid dreaming I like to search for clocks and look at them for a while. It's so tippy.
Awesome dude great video
What the fuck I never see buy skyrim memes and suddenly saw two in the span of one minute in unrelated sites
Todd Howard is always watching and waiting.
Interestingly, one thing that is always completely accurate in dreams for me is playing guitar. I did have one time where it didn't make sense and I got really confused, because the dream guitar wasn't like a normal one
In my dreams, water (and even air) viscosity are usually higher.
But I guess it's just a side effect of setting my own density to a lower one.
Yeah I never even walk in my dreams I always float and the weirdest part is it feels like the floating is somehow 'tied' to my breath, like I can float as long as I can hold my breath.
*Another Strange Phenomenon:*
You can't do a forward roll in your imagination (1st person. Not imagining yourself do it)
You will always roll on one of your sides and not perfectly straight
But try rolling the world around you while curled into a ball and it will work.
Yea cars do all kinds of crazy stuff in my dreams sometimes i will even pick it up amd move it
In my dreams,I try to stop this from happening but I just cant: think of a minecraft world and it's chunks. Now imagine every chunk infinitely going up or down and a black void in between the height gaps. That is what it looks like.
I often struggle to run and walk in dreams. It’s like I’m underwater or completely drunk or something and I don’t feel in control of my body. But it always happens when there’s people around who are having no trouble walking at all and it’s really embarrassing lmao
my brain always generates surreal and impossible dreams. like in last time when a woman talked to me in my dream
They say if you're not sure if you're dreaming, try to read something. The words either aren't there, or are just barely there, and they won't stay stable. In short, you'll know you're dreaming.
didnt know other people had this. i was frustrated punching those guys and it wouldn't hurt them as it should in real life.
hands were moving fast but the impact was ridiculiously weak and it made no sense.
punching in dreams is easy, you just have to focus on the result of the punch, rather than the motion. the waking world has different rules than the dream, so you simply focus on something being punched instead of the windup, and the dream takes care of the rest for you.
I often struggle to even run in my dreams, and even in my mind. When I visualize the running animation, my legs will bend inwards and collide with each other, and even if I can correct it, the entire animation still runs VERY slowly.
The bending is probably caused by my being born with bilateral clubbed feet. A birth defect that bends my feet and legs inward like golf clubs.
The slow running is probably cause by my sedentary lifestyle lol.
I can’t put any weight behind my steps, so I have no traction and end up just stumbling in place.
All of these questions to me seem kind of ridiculous, my dream is so f****** weird that I would never even think to accept it as reality. All buildings are completely messed up and completely nonsensical like one dream an entire world was submerged in water halfway, humans don't really have a form at all, I can tell that they're human, but their body parts can move around or even separate from each other. Any object is completely absent of form. Like if I try to focus on it it will kind of turn into something recognizable but as soon as I stop it stops too. So it would never even occur to me to think of these as a little bit off or surreal or anything because it's just a complete mess
I just had the weirdest dream, I was being robbed and tried to punch the guy but I couldn’t but then I choked him and that worked. Then I woke up. Weird ass dream.
Dream problems require dream solutions.
me: initially confused by the video's title because I'm able to punch hard in my dreams
also me, but 30 seconds in: "oh it's because I have parasomnia"
Very curious since I just woke up from a dream that ended with me running away from a guy persecuting me wanting to stab me with a screw, and I ran away perfectly fine and kicked that guy in the guts perfectly fine, I mean, the sole thing that made me wake up was that I ended up also kicking in real life while I slept, and I hit the wall which made me wake up
I had no idea this happened to other people!!!!
I was fighting in my dream but felt like my lunches weak asf
I've never had an issue punching or kicking or any form of movement in a dream. I can't think of a single time I've experienced what you are talking about here.
The only problem is that it will often translate to real movement and wake me up. I've kicked my poor kitty more than once because of this.
That's a phenomenon that's essentially the opposite of sleep paralysis. The brain doesn't fully shut down skeletal muscles resulting in actions translating to physical motion or verbal outbursts.
@@venera13 I have verbalized too. I once told my father to get f****** in my dream and I blurted it out irl. lol.
Weirdly, I can't imagine clenching my fist hard or throwing a hard punch even when I'm awake.
my favorite is when I jump and then just float about a foot in the air for a while
I thought this and not being able to walk/run properly is just a regular nightmarey thing. Like a "what if I was in this scary situation and couldn't run or fight back" kinda dream.
Anyway I recently had a dream in which I finally was able to punch someone in the face repeatedly. Felt good. They deserved it.
I'm basically Saitama in my dreams until I realize that I'm dreaming. After that, the best way I can describe it is I am someone in physical therapy trying to recover from a spinal injury. What you are describing doesn't happen until I'm lucid dreaming.
That's interesting. So far most people who comment report not being able to punch. Some have said they have no issue punching but other activities feel strange. You're the first that is unable to punch after gaining awareness of the dream.
Thank you for sharing that's legit fascinating to me. I wonder why that is.
*summary, not summery
That typo is a part of the dream and does not exist.
I find in dreams physical harm to me hardly hurts…also physical harm to others often has little effect. A guy pinned me to a wall recently…I took out my pen and began stabbing him in the eyes…not a drop of blood, his eyes didn’t puncture and it didn’t hurt him much…sadly. Having never done that in real life I guess my sleeping brain didn’t know how to simulate it….even tho’ I could imagine it now…odd huh!
Can’t punch but they’ll beat you over the head in a game of Star Trek trivia 😂 I’m weak
Since this is educational video you might want to change “safty first” to safety first. I know it’s petty but personally I take more stock in educational videos if words are spelled correctly and I really enjoyed your video and would hate for a silly typo to take away from the educational value.
I can't edit text in videos without deleting and re-uploading. And I do not have the video file for this anymore. Once they are uploaded that's that. However this is explained on my video on Dyslexia. Despite my best efforts I have a very hard time catching all typos.

Theres got to be more to this. As a person who lucidly dreams oftenly, I've gotten past the "barrier" a few times and got to pulverize a few individuals, but, somewhere deep in my subconscious, they were still untouchable or something because they'd never take damage. I could be punching as hard as like fucking Goku or someone capable of breaking the ground when hitting someones skull off it. Legit broken concrete in my dreams beating someone, but they kept looking back at me like "did you just tickle me?" And I'd get more confused and pissed an lose my lucidity.
Have you ever tried entering a lucid dream by not fighting to wake up during sleep paralysis and going straight into a lucid dream? This was the key for me, to have the most wild lucid dreams, with no issues "hanging on" to the dream or anything like losing the lucidity, able to have really long and the most vivid detailed lucid dreams, and experience extreme time dilation where you experience very very long periods of time in the dream world, things and characters start to gain more permanence, making it start to feel even more real, and you can really start to lose yourself in what feels like your new reality.
@@brown3394 I only achieved that once, and I don't know how to reproduce that process, I just can't with my sleeping patterns, but I tend to realize I'm in a dream when it's like way past that "half way" point. I can usually fight waking up to a degree, controlling my excitement was paramount for me to stay lucid though
@@brown3394 And on the topic of time dialation... I keep having approx 45 minute dreams, but man, they go on for *days* at a time sometimes. Those ones are so surreal to that I barely notice things being off. I can read, write, and drive correctly now in my dreams too. Took me years to be able to drive in a dream without shit going extremely haywire
You can't do simple arithmetic in dreams, either. It's one way I test myself when I'm trying to lucid dream. On a related note, I keep waking up in the early hours, going back to "sleep" and when I think I may have woken up, I check my watch. Except I'm checking it in my shallow dream without so much as opening my eyes, so I can't possibly know what the actual time is.
Math and reading are usually nonsense in dreams it's spooky.
Can't run fast either. But can fly sometimes.
Bro my brain fr got me killed in my dream, it was like a nightmare with Pennywise the clown and I was opting to solve it by standing on business BUT AS I THREW THE PUNCH IT MISSES AND HAD ZERO WEIGHT TO IT 💀
I thought it just happened to me 😅!!...
Once I punched in my dream and ended up punching a wall in real life. It's not fun and it feels like you punched a wall
I had a dream where someone broke into my apartment. I woke up, still half-asleep, thinking there was someone near the bed. I swung hard enough to throw myself out of bed, and onto the floor, LOL.
I don't get into fights much. Last I had was a few years ago and I assure you I go into fucking mortal combat mode every night with demonic strength and anime level speed
I was brushing my teeth in a dream. Woke up spitting onto my pillow :^)
So in my dreams, no place looks right. I'll be in a different house but I'll understand it as my house. People look completely different but I'll understand them to be someone.
Same. I'll be in places that are familiar, but distorted. Sizes, distences, locations. All feel wrong and strange.
@@venera13 I've even had dreams where I'm in my dad's house, but to dream me it's my house with my bedroom and my family.
My dreams are usually extremely unimaginative, sometimes important details even tend to be missing entirely, like the sea at a beach. The beach was there, but there was nothing beyond. No water, no beach, no void, just null.
Then again, this dream also included invisible pink elephants.
If they where invisible...how did you know they where pink?
@@venera13 I DON'T KNOW! I guess my brain just kind of gave me that information.
The brain truly is an odd thing.
Definitely
ive straight up brutaly murder monsters or possessed people in my dreams soooooooo uhhhh idk what you mean the only thing i can relate to here is that i had like 2 dreams where i was crippled and couldnt walk as fast because of how much my legs most literally hurt like i feel pain as if its real not sure if thats common or if my brain is just an asshole
also my dreams do not have weird shit goin on not even with the lighting or anything it all seems very real sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo maybe its all just speculative and we dont know yet why dreams are the way they are i mean for all you know the people just remembered their dreams wrong as is common to not remember every detail of the dream and yet i have not that its common and i can state that my dreams do not relate to this video at all
In my dreams, i don't punch, i see Heinrich Himmler in a pink jacket with Hitler's dog in the street in front of my grandma's home while walking like a drunk man, and an evil version of my dad running after me and non-euclidean stuff
Apparently I'm not the only one.
Any thoughts on why when falling asleep some sounds your brain makes mute the outside world while some do not?
I think they are just sorted differently; some categories just can't reach your consciousness anymore while others reach you longer and can even notify your consciousness aka waking you up. But that is just my own theory.
2:54 you mean to tell me that no sense of inadequacy comes into play? to me it sounds like someone who does throw punches all the time would do it better come dream time.
Bro... do you also live near that floating hot dog in the forest ?! Small world.
