I’d like to add The Cell (2000) to this list. It’s a very esthetic movie that checks a lot of boxes of the subjects you cover. It’s worth the watch and also could be inspiring for a new video subject. Love your content and I get some nice tips out of your selections. Thx!
The use of Minecraft music in this video is perfect, Minecraft gives such a creepy lonely vibe if you play depressed or something, really feels liminal
well Ive figured out what is going to be on my headstone when I die. "Life is the most beautiful movie we will ever get to see" is probably the single most impactful quote I've heard in a long time.
What if you could dream a dream where in you could do anything you want? Eventually the only exciting thing left is to dream a dream where you dont have control, thats the dream we are living now
I've always loved the idea that that people could "meet" within a dream, share the same dream at the same time and interact and actually both remember it the next day! Logically that's impossible but there's something so mysterious about dreaming that it never actually seems 100% impossible. As a kid, I actually had a "totem place" within my dreams - it was like the sandmans treehouse with a big blue slide with yellow stars. When I went down the slide, I woke up. Whenever I had a nightmare, I just had to find the slide. Alternatively, I could wake up when I just stopped running, folded my hands closed my eyes and prayed to god. I don't care whether people are religious or not - this helped me escape a damn load of zombies, murderers and robots!
It actually is possible and does happen. There's a lot more to dreams than what the "experts" think. The problem is that these people view the world from a certain, very limited, point of view. The whole "logic" thing is what prevents many people from opening their minds to a broader view of reality. Dreams are not just created in the mind. They are not just memories, or subconscious thoughts. There is so much more to dreams (and life itself). Meeting people there is definitely possible, and so are many other things.
@larissa313 True. I don't know too much on that topic in particular, but I do know that most altered states of consciousness (including those reached from meditation, and even dreaming) are very related, and they even trigger the same responses in the brain that occur during spiritual and/or psychic phenomena. Dreams, as well as many other things, are basically taking place in another "realm", or plane of existence. I wouldn't be surprised if all of this is the same stuff, and it just differs in how we reach that place.

Same i feel like this is romanticizing dreaming. Most dreams don’t make sense but are rooted in some reality. Also, i have found real life to be much more colorful than any dream I’ve ever had. My dreams are pretty much colorless.
The point isn't that these places are real or that we've been in them in our dreams. The reason people are intrigued by it is because of the feeling they get when seeing these videos and pictures that resemble the dream state they get when they're asleep.
Dreams have so so many manifestations. Each so unique and specific. It’s literally a dream, it’s like a psychedelic trip. We see things we can’t describe. It’s amazing
the utopian scenery in movies are always so eerie, so creepy. Our conception of utopia is certainly not the right one since it feels wrong and scary. As always a wonderful video essay, truly an underrated creator with beautifully constructed videos. Continue blessing us with these.
@@sanruss The thing is, that is impossible. Human nature is so varied that we never will ever agree on one utopia. We simply cannot because values and preferences differ so much even in small groups. All we will ever acive is the best compromise, but we never all will truly agree on anything.
Why is the word “ underrated” in all comments sections of every video on TH-cam? Do you copy everything other people say and think you are being original? My guess is you’re 15 years old.
The neighborhood in Edward scissorhands definitely gave me that dreamcore feeling. I live in Florida so it’s very common to see those types of houses but just that empty neighborhood with little to no vegetation just feels strange. Also I’ve seen many of these neighborhoods just in general when driving through neighborhoods.
Wow I was expecting a small essay about dreamlike scenes in movies and got hit with a real message. Really got me emotional with this one. Awesome work.
It’s only happened a few times but I’ve dreamed of regular places I’ve never been to and never seen before and then I see a photo or scene in a movie that same place years later and I’m like “wait that place is real? I’ve been there in my dreams”. It’s surreal.
I like how during the talk about dreams the background music is just minecraft nether music (seriously, i actually really enjoy just sitting down and listening to the nether music in it's ominous glory, which is why i recognized it enough to even make this comment)
Something incredible about doors: While lucid dreaming the best way to go to a specific place is to imagine that place behind a door. Opening that door has without a fault effectively taken me to wherever i wanted.
I often create a door to escape a hostile environment. I have suffered from recurring nightmares since been a young man. This taught me to Lucid Dream.
This happened to me semi-recently, I dreamt that I was leaving an apartment, but when I opened the door, it led me to seemingly infinite corridors (I went on a Liminal Spaces binge earlier, lol). Rather than frantically going through the maze and trying out every door, I imagined opening the door to my home. After three attempts, I was home, walked to my bed, and woke up. Very bizarre, but an example of lucid dreaming through "the backrooms" lol.
whenever a creature is after me, my brain somehow makes the roblox esc L enter page, and the dream switches to something peaceful and free. it’s happened many times.
The most accurate depiction of the feelings and surrealness of my dreams while being tied to familiarity and nostalgia in any piece of visual media I have seen has easily got to be the beach scene from Contact. It’s just matches everything so well. The twilight expansive landscape filled with things you might not typically expect to appear in the same scene together. The distant clouds, the serene quietness of everything that matches the silence of dreams, and the ethereal sky of stars that hangs over the scene as if there was no atmosphere and light pollution to cloud your view. The first time I saw it was with my parents and I literally said out loud “This is what my dreams look like” when that scene came on. It was euphoric, like seeing an old friend or being struck by some distant nostalgia you didn’t even remember you could feel
The first time I saw a video by cyriak (cows cows cows, and baaaa especially) I was flooded with a liminal and uncanny feeling, which I realized then was because the way his subjects move were the closest simile to the way things move in my dreams.
I find it interesting that often dreamlike scenes are bright and colourful. I don't know about anyone else, but I don't think I've ever had a dream that was bright and colourful. Even dreams that I don't consider nightmares are realistically coloured or even more dull/darker than real life. Perhaps that's just my depressive and anxious psyche. Would be interested to know if anyone's experience differs significantly.
Most of the times my dreams have realistic colors but sometimes i dream that I am in a game that i played before i went to sleep - for example minecraft. Since minecraft is really colorful i end up being in a colorful world
@@Lupaland11 That makes sense. I don't really play games, so perhaps it's just that the colour in one's dreams reflects the colour in one's real life. Might be an interesting experiment: put someone in a really colourful environment for a month or so and see what their dreams are like.
I think that the way I dream has drastically shifted from before because of mental health issues. I have way more of an anxious feeling even when I’m not straight up having a nightmare, and the coloring of the images is almost from dark to gradient colors focused on the center. It happens mostly when I am elaborating traumatic experiences, but even if it’s not, I very rarely get brightly colored dreams like I remember having more often as a kid. Scary to think how the mind works on a subconscious level while asleep.
holy crap that ending sequence for this video was so well done, using the inception analogy for movie making was incredibly meta and wrapped it up so nicely
This video was shockingly inspirational and amazing, it felt like watching a full hour long documentary but it was only 19 minutes! Keep making videos, this is talent here!
Why was this so stylish, tasty and relevant to sink your teeth into? Dreams and time have always been huge concepts on my mind, and Nolan is definitely taking these thoughts and themes I've been grasping at almost as far as the visual medium will take them. Great stuff and subscribing immediately
I highly suggest you look into the world of mysticism (I really recommend the Seth books by Jane Roberts) The practices of these ideas themselves allow you to explore these things for yourself. It will only occur when the time is right for you, and when you're not insisting on them, but just allow. Meditate(if you don't know please look into it, there's lots of misconceptions) and observe time shift or feel it seem to stop, pay attention to the feeling of what your imagination feels like compared to your physical senses. Notice the different flavours of consciusness. Inner observation is the key. Become more conscious in your daily life to feel your dreams more. The more attention you pay to subtleties of your conscious experience, more things start to click. Not intellectually, but intuituvely. And of course do what you like, but I've felt that exact undying curiosity and this was like the method to deeper understanding of something bigger than imaginable!
Everyone's already talking about liminal spaces but I like to think that any project about dreams can always be unique because some dreams can are unique and personal. Consider one's experiences and influences etc, you can present something new.
Im so happy you talked about primer. That's one of my favorite movies OF ALL TIME. wonderfully explored concept of time. Probably the most realistic to say the least, the most accurate speculatively.
I think the parallels you manage to find between totally different topics and how you explain the obscure connections between those different fields, is a really special talent. These videos are so good that trying to describe the experience is another whole experience by itself, so thank you a lot for your phenomenal work and for sharing.
Row, Row, Row, your boat Gently down the stream Merrily, Merrily, Merrily Life is but a dream. We were taught this as children in a simple song. Many of us forgot. As Bill Hicks once said, "Its just a ride".
I remember a couple of times when I was a kid and I had realized I was in a dream and I wanted to leave so I would just lay down and fall asleep in the dream. It actually worked somehow. I've never been able to lucid dream but I had a dream recently that was like I was in a horror movie and I wanted so desperately to escape and eventually my dream shifted to something that I was comfortable with. Very strange stuff...
every time I see rolling grass hills or suburban neighborhoods with the yellow and peach, blue house with super green yards I always get a feeling of comfort like I wanna be there or been there it’s so nostalgic feeling I never can explain it
With that, for me it feels like freedom, people living in a colorful place, nobody controlling it, no grey and dark neighborhoods or signs of city life, bueatiful blue skies and clouds flowing as if they were alive
Right?? Happy fun colours, but calm, not too chaotic, and people just living, enjoying their lives and the simple pleasures like growing flowers, playing with pets, or watching the sun set with a favourite drink in hand. It seems like everyone there agrees on one thing: they all want peace. They're all willing to work together for it, and they take care of and look out for each other, but still respect privacy and mind their own business. It's an ideal little community. That word, community... Relationships, comraderie, and care. Care for things, care for people, care for life.
Same, except I get mixed feelings about it, like it all looks so lovely and homely, but at the same time it could be all "fake" and empty, and just a representation of home. It's hard to describe the feeling.
I’ve never had a dream like those dream core liminal vibes , mine are very …intense and detailed to the point I refuse to believe in a singular reality as this one we all experience . At times I physically feel and smell the circumstances, other times I’d have conversations and events that happen in this reality almost like a prophecy and I’m certainly not the only person who’ve experienced this. Really made me question lots of times reality and the potential of a multiverse , almost like a visit to our “other” selves through dream state. Whether it’s a fiction of our subconscious through the awake conscious or not , my dreams have been as well tools to creativity just as you mentioned in the video. Dreams are fascinating to me. I’ve also had dreams within a dream within a dream , where I’d wake up within the dream only to re wake up to re wake up until I actually wake up. My dreams are so important to my sanity Amazing video , anything that has to do with liminal spaces , back rooms and dream core for some reason simply gives me a lot of …. Peace
I have the exact same experiences with my dreams and feel the exact same way! the multiverse, seeing the future and experiencing a glimpse of another's life is so real and fascinating to experience. have a good day ♡
I've long experience this too. Either super realistic or so far out of existence but it still feels real. And it usually predicts something that actually happens. Or I speak with dead relatives. Of course no one believes me so whatever.

When I was younger, I had a recurring dream, I got it once every month or so. Eventually I began recognizing that it was a dream, and I began doing different things in the dream to see what would happen
It's actually pretty interesting to see what kind of places most people see in their dreams. I've actually never seen a 'places you've seen in your dreams' picture, that would depict something I'd ever dreamed off, maybe because my brain knows it'll trigger a lucid dreaming session, as soon as it presents me with something impossible/unreal and tries to avoid it?
I dream every single night. I always remember my dreams, 98% of the time. I can remember dreams I had when I was first learning consciousness at a very young age. I’ve had panic attacks in my sleep, sleep paralysis so many times, also I have lucid dreams where I can make my own visual decisions. I’ve also managed to remind myself I am sleeping and can talk for myself. Dreams are so weird but I wouldn’t give it up for any amount of money. I feel like I have a whole different life in my dreams. I am the same person but so different. 👁
Same here. I barely sleep, usually just a few hours a day. But I always remember several dreams after I wake up. And in my dreams, no matter what they're about, I have the ability to float in the air. It's not like flying, but hovering. I jump, and bend my legs, or lean back, and this prevents me from coming back down. I hover just a few feet above the ground. I can do this in any dream, even nightmares. And when I'm doing it, I'm always showing off, basically saying "hey everyone, look at me!". Yesterday I had a dream where a tidal wave of... Weird neon glowing liquid was coming. It was like running away from (fast) lava, but it looked like psychedelic radiant blue and pink stuff. I ran into my house to warn my parents and tell them to leave because the wave was about to wash over the house. When I left, it was already too close so I had to use my hover ability to escape. This was a serious and scary moment, but because I was hovering, my "look how far I can float!" attitude came back and I was so delighted with myself, timing how long I could go without touching the ground, and saying "why don't you all just float too?", knowing full well that nobody else could do it 😂 I also always know when I'm asleep, and am fully conscious. Even if I don't know how to control my dreams, I have full control of myself within them. I have thoughts, feelings, and everything I'd have in real life, so the experience feels just as real. I can also wake up whenever I want, just by thinking "I should wake up now" or "I think I heard something". I've never moved in my sleep, because I'm always fully aware when I wake up and turn over or adjust my position before going back to sleep. Even if i don't open my eyes, I'm fully conscious of it. So I've never woken up in a different position than I fell asleep. I've also never being confused about where I was when I woke up. Even before I open my eyes, I always know exactly what I'm going to see when I do, even when sleeping in a new and unfamiliar location. I remember where I fell asleep even before I wake up, so there is no surprise or confusion when I wake up.
My dream places feel homey and safe because it's basically my own world. It sometimes feels like I can visit the same spots. Once I dreamt about being a in a neighborhood, it was warm and sunset and people were out playing and laughing and the houses were beautiful and I remember my house was tall and brown and made of brick, it was pure bliss
This video is absolutely beautiful. The kind of video essays I love watching in my free time, thank you for not only showing the dreamscape and solidifying my understanding of the aesthetic but expanding my knowledge on the history and background of the subject. The video is so beautiful it had me in tears at the end by the sheer quality and effort put into it. Thank you for this masterpiece, I aspire to create educational art as beautiful as you have here.
I personally have always found these topics super interesting, and I've never found any channel that covers them this well until now. please never stop posting! all of your videos are just brilliant to watch!!
This video explained it very very well. The feeling that you get was explained perfectly. I loved how you put it in a cinematic aspect too. Amazing job.
I'm surprised you didn't mention any David Lynch movies, since a lot of his movies are inspired by dreams and have this very surreal atmosphere. Nevertheless, excellent video!
I had so many other movies that I would've loved to discuss but I couldn't find a way to integrate them without making it too tedious. Had to stick to the most famous ones. I did mention some of Lynch his work in the first video, but I would have loved to talk about it in the Surrealism stage of this video as well.
and just like that... this video became one of my favorite videos ever Extremely well done, well researched and overall perfectly organized... Relating all these themes of dreams, dementia, schyzophrenia and an scape from reality was just genius Thank you for this
I always had a hard time controlling my dreams until I was told to repeat to myself over and over to dream about a mirror and see my reflection. When I finally was able to, I no longer was afraid.
This video was so absolutely beautiful. I weapt deeply. It encompasses so much truth and passion. Perfect selection of music and understanding of composition. Thank you for your hard work and talent for making such a unique transitional piece. 👏
This video reminds me of one of those iconic videos that were made years ago with millions of views that everyone gets in their recommended at least once. Was schocked to realise it was only uploaded a few days ago with 60k views. I hope this becomes one of those iconic vids, it’s so well made!!
I agree with the other comments, this video is really really well done. The "strangely familiar places" aren't familiar to me at all.. but my dreams were strange since I can remember, often so strange I can't even tell what I dreamed.
Can't speak for my childhood, but my dreams nowadays are a culmination of familiar places I've seen or been, but it's not exactly it. I get how sometimes it can represent liminal spaces, as these places can be unerving, but it's never as grand or creative as these images. They do represent how childhood content looked and can bring up nostalgia and the emptiness of the unknown can scare us because we aren't familiar with it bit it looks like something we seen as a kid. That's why I probably wouldn't doubt if I had dreams similar to these images as a kid. Now I have dreams of being in a city being chased by nemesis from resident evil. Not scary but thrilling, and it reflects what content I absorb now. It's strange.
Here is another idea about dreams: What if dreams are actually previews of the afterlife world? Maybe dreams are our emotional, spiritual and mental states, memories and experiences manifested into a visible/physical world?
watching Inception in 2010 at an empty run down movie theater that peaked in the 80's was weird, how much of this is just gen z/millennial nostalgia combined with technology
on this topic i’d like to mention one of my favourite movies, Sucker Punch. it may not be the best movie objectively, but it’s my fav bc i had some great memories with it. it’s about a dream world within a dream world within a dream world. pretty interesting
What a terrific video. Just speaking about these profound moments in the films you mentioned is moving. That and the score you used brought it all together. Well done!
The cat in the hat neighbourhood is imprinted on my brain so strongly and I had never bothered to look it up because i just had a feeling thats where the neighbourhoods in my dreams were from, I’m glad to see I was right.
Sometimes before sleep I wish myself to enjoy my dream, even ifI won;t remember it after waking up. This feeling of dream evaporating from your memory as you wake up is so surreal, yet I experience it almost any time I think about it.
You can remember dreams better by keeping a dream journal and not moving (not even a twitch) for around 5-15 minutes after waking while trying to recall the dream. There's some memory techniques you can use during this time to pull from different memories to see if anything matches with the dreams
By far my fav new TH-camr. I always felt like I was alone when it came to loving or learning about these things. The fact that you put so much effort into this video just shows me how into it you are just as much as me. Even teaching me new things expanding my mind !!! New subscriber
Have been working on this for quite a few months, besides I was at a screening with director Gaspar Noe and he talked about how nobody really analyzes dreams in movies. So I had to do it 🙏🚪🖼🌈
I actully finished watching the video and it blew my mind how to found a connection between the liminal spaces and reality of life, maybe this life is actully a dream fed into our brains or generated by it but on this one its bound to certain rules
This video was so well made it honestly hurt a little, especially after mentions like Tchaikovsky, to not have mentioned Alejandro Jodorowski and especially his movie the Holy Mountain. I refuse to give spoilers but it ends with the same sentiment of this video only even more literally
Holy shit, this just made me remember the dream I had last night. It was kind of backroomsy, but it was instead that if something you were dying in a specific way, you would fall through the world into a small, spinning yellow box, maybe 20 feet across, with a door floating on one end. There were maybe 7 or 8 people, and all of the people there were huddled up in one corner, since the box being tilted but not spinning tilted meant trying to be on the other corner was more likely to throw you off, and someone occasionally came through to check on us through the door, some sort of ringleader. The door would never open for us, only him, and I remember me and one other pulling him down into the room and running across tons of creepy liminal spaces. Really fuckin weird dream. The weirdest part though, is that I remember having it before. Except I was one of the people already there this time.
Why doesn’t this have millions of views and likes?!? I am blown away from this video it touches on everything and contains such a good narrative and soundtrack to keep you engaged and lost at the same time. Well done my friend, I have done my part and I hope others do the same because this video shouldn’t go unnoticed.
My understanding of Mr. Nobody is that he could see and understand all of his likely futures. When he has to choose between his mother and father, he effectively experiences both lives regardless of what he actually chooses.
This video was amazing. I used to have so many lucid dreams that I felt I had a double life and that became a big part of how I became a creative person. I felt this video was so well written that I wish I could have seen this sooner. Instant subscription to you, sir.
As a child I was able to have lucid dreams but I lost that ability when I got older. As a child I often had re-occurring dreams; the same dream over and over again many nights but not necessary consecutive nights. Yet as they were re-occurring , I would sometimes find myself in a situation in the dream where I realized "Hey, wait a sec. I've been here before and I've done that before. But why? Yeah, right, that was in a dream. Hold on... so, is this a dream right now?" and that was the moment I realized I'm dreaming and from that moment on, I was able to actively manipulate the dream; which meant a pretty tough time for the witch who way hunting me as all of a sudden I had super powers. There was only one important rule: Don't overuse your abilities. If you concentrate too hard to make something happen in your lucid dream, you will somehow fall out of your own dream and wake up yourself. So it's not like you can force anything to happen, it's more like you wish something to happen and in most cases your wish is granted, albeit not always exactly as you wished for, which you must accept and just go with flow.
I don’t think time exists as much as consciousness of aging and events exist . Without consciousness time does not exist. Just an idea! Lovely video love getting to come a share and see ideas 🫶
I have felt this so much in my life in childhood. I remember I got lost in this really strange toy store in this weird park kinda thing. The store was actually really cool but the store had the main area then it would have these offshoot rooms far away from the main room and you’d have to explore around and when you’d get to the back of those rooms there was no one in there but cool toys I liked and it felt surreal. I can’t remember the name of the store or if it exists but it was at a place called thanksgiving point in utah. Which is a park which in and of itself is very liminal I mean look up pictures of it. Look up thanksgiving point gardens it’s legit like a dreamworld.
My dreams are almost always comprised of words, shapes, colors, and abstract concepts, not dreamscapes in the traditional sense. That's why I've always felt aloof from movies in which dreams are depicted as having cities, or landscapes, or otherwise realistic or recognizable locations.
@@Moonkin444 I had to look up what that is, but, no, I don't have it. I actually have quite vivid mental imagery. I think the reason I dream in words and abstract concepts is because I spend most of my waking life reading, writing, typing, and pondering, which spills over into my dreams.
@@Moonkin444 what does it mean when I don't dream often but when I do dream it is always in a car, me running and facing something before my dream ends or something odd like clipping through a floor, or falling
Great video! They're getting better every time. Love the subject as well. Vivarium is another one in that direction I'd recommend to anyone who hasn't seen it.
A couple of good dream movies you missed are 1) Dreamscape 1984 staring Dennis Quaid. 2) The Prince of Darkness 1987 it has a great dream sequence where people from the future project information through dreams.
I literally got chills at the end having gained this knowledge and all of the complex thoughts and ideas. At the end when all of it is closed back up very neatly into a few easy-to-unpack sentiments, with the heavenly, yet slightly melancholic soundtrack playing in the background just made me feel like i was myself floating away into a white nothingness, yet i wasn't scared or apprehensive.. it's weird and the only thing i could imagine it being similar to is the sensation of dying :D. (TLDR: video made me feel like dying xD)
The amazing Anime film 'Paprika' by Satoshi Kon inspired Inception. I very much suggest it to everyone who's also found their way to this video. It's about independent films, dreams & conquering your fears. All of his works are pieces of art worth watching with friends.

I render dreams, by layers.
.1
.....................................................................................
Render texture
Render 3d objects.
.2
.....................................................................................
3d space, that expands in 3d and 2d perspectives.
.3
.....................................................................................
Also in a few milliseconds, I render "population" so that when I do render a group of people my dream can handle all of the.
.4
[Do This Step Multiple Times]
.....................................................................................
Then, repeat step .1 and .2, to render background and render shades and reflections to reflect people.
After this you should render people.
.....................................................................................
[Do This Step Multiple Times]
.5
.....................................................................................
The last step, is where you remove the people or other parts that don't make sense.
[The 2nd Second had passed]
The way I render my dreams have two main layers, with hundreds of variables.
The main two,
Are the background space, and the people.
The dream feels sentient itself.
And feels like the events of the people are pawns in a game of chess.
That's because, my dreams were logic based.
Almost like a computer getting rid of things and controlling it.
I’d like to add The Cell (2000) to this list. It’s a very esthetic movie that checks a lot of boxes of the subjects you cover. It’s worth the watch and also could be inspiring for a new video subject. Love your content and I get some nice tips out of your selections. Thx!
The use of Minecraft music in this video is perfect, Minecraft gives such a creepy lonely vibe if you play depressed or something, really feels liminal
Sadly for me, if I’m depressed I can’t bring myself to play 😢
Could you please put timestamps or the name of the musics at least?
What’s the song at the end
Playing minecraft by yourself feels like being on a planet by yourself thats why I usually play with music on😭😭😭
Indeed!
well Ive figured out what is going to be on my headstone when I die. "Life is the most beautiful movie we will ever get to see" is probably the single most impactful quote I've heard in a long time.
Man, "Life is the most beautiful movie we will ever get to see" hits me so hard.
The effort put in this video is amazing. Good job!
yeah hits real hard for depressed people too, totally accurate
Yeah almost unexpectedly teared up at that part
yeah im depressed and these words made me believe that im in a dream
What if you could dream a dream where in you could do anything you want? Eventually the only exciting thing left is to dream a dream where you dont have control, thats the dream we are living now
I've always loved the idea that that people could "meet" within a dream, share the same dream at the same time and interact and actually both remember it the next day! Logically that's impossible but there's something so mysterious about dreaming that it never actually seems 100% impossible.
As a kid, I actually had a "totem place" within my dreams - it was like the sandmans treehouse with a big blue slide with yellow stars. When I went down the slide, I woke up. Whenever I had a nightmare, I just had to find the slide. Alternatively, I could wake up when I just stopped running, folded my hands closed my eyes and prayed to god. I don't care whether people are religious or not - this helped me escape a damn load of zombies, murderers and robots!
Its possible :)
It actually is possible and does happen. There's a lot more to dreams than what the "experts" think. The problem is that these people view the world from a certain, very limited, point of view. The whole "logic" thing is what prevents many people from opening their minds to a broader view of reality.
Dreams are not just created in the mind. They are not just memories, or subconscious thoughts. There is so much more to dreams (and life itself). Meeting people there is definitely possible, and so are many other things.
@@ShizuruNakatsu just as that you can have “trips” together and see the same things/eachother :) I experienced that with my brother
@larissa313 True. I don't know too much on that topic in particular, but I do know that most altered states of consciousness (including those reached from meditation, and even dreaming) are very related, and they even trigger the same responses in the brain that occur during spiritual and/or psychic phenomena. Dreams, as well as many other things, are basically taking place in another "realm", or plane of existence. I wouldn't be surprised if all of this is the same stuff, and it just differs in how we reach that place.

Am I the only one who’s dreams don’t look like these types of places? I mean, the things that happen make no sense but they just don’t look like that
Same i feel like this is romanticizing dreaming. Most dreams don’t make sense but are rooted in some reality. Also, i have found real life to be much more colorful than any dream I’ve ever had. My dreams are pretty much colorless.
The point isn't that these places are real or that we've been in them in our dreams. The reason people are intrigued by it is because of the feeling they get when seeing these videos and pictures that resemble the dream state they get when they're asleep.
Dreams have so so many manifestations. Each so unique and specific. It’s literally a dream, it’s like a psychedelic trip. We see things we can’t describe. It’s amazing
It feels like I’ve been there in real life more
most of my dreams are in my house. either current or childhood house sometimes
the utopian scenery in movies are always so eerie, so creepy. Our conception of utopia is certainly not the right one since it feels wrong and scary. As always a wonderful video essay, truly an underrated creator with beautifully constructed videos. Continue blessing us with these.
I think part of the issue is that one person's version of utopia is another person's version of hell.
@@amusingautomatons2692 shouldn't a true utopia be universal? A stop where evryone converge to and agree on.
@@sanruss The thing is, that is impossible. Human nature is so varied that we never will ever agree on one utopia. We simply cannot because values and preferences differ so much even in small groups. All we will ever acive is the best compromise, but we never all will truly agree on anything.

Why is the word “ underrated” in all comments sections of every video on TH-cam? Do you copy everything other people say and think you are being original? My guess is you’re 15 years old.
@@DuCinema1 Hey man! Awesome video!
Underrated? He's got 200k subscribers... He's doing good.

The neighborhood in Edward scissorhands definitely gave me that dreamcore feeling. I live in Florida so it’s very common to see those types of houses but just that empty neighborhood with little to no vegetation just feels strange. Also I’ve seen many of these neighborhoods just in general when driving through neighborhoods.
I don't think it would be wrong to say that this video is very very well researched and very well-made.

i love how the minecraft nether music is in the chapter of surrealism. such a nice detail
Wow I was expecting a small essay about dreamlike scenes in movies and got hit with a real message. Really got me emotional with this one. Awesome work.
It’s only happened a few times but I’ve dreamed of regular places I’ve never been to and never seen before and then I see a photo or scene in a movie that same place years later and I’m like “wait that place is real? I’ve been there in my dreams”. It’s surreal.
I like how during the talk about dreams the background music is just minecraft nether music (seriously, i actually really enjoy just sitting down and listening to the nether music in it's ominous glory, which is why i recognized it enough to even make this comment)
Something incredible about doors:
While lucid dreaming the best way to go to a specific place is to imagine that place behind a door. Opening that door has without a fault effectively taken me to wherever i wanted.
I often create a door to escape a hostile environment. I have suffered from recurring nightmares since been a young man. This taught me to Lucid Dream.
youre so lucky. i dream thr most absurd stuff and still cannot notice that i dream. impossible to me😮
Pro tips on lucid dreaming 😉
This happened to me semi-recently, I dreamt that I was leaving an apartment, but when I opened the door, it led me to seemingly infinite corridors (I went on a Liminal Spaces binge earlier, lol). Rather than frantically going through the maze and trying out every door, I imagined opening the door to my home. After three attempts, I was home, walked to my bed, and woke up. Very bizarre, but an example of lucid dreaming through "the backrooms" lol.
whenever a creature is after me, my brain somehow makes the roblox esc L enter page, and the dream switches to something peaceful and free. it’s happened many times.
I didn't expect this 20 minutes video to be so beautifully made and hold such powerful meanings
The most accurate depiction of the feelings and surrealness of my dreams while being tied to familiarity and nostalgia in any piece of visual media I have seen has easily got to be the beach scene from Contact. It’s just matches everything so well. The twilight expansive landscape filled with things you might not typically expect to appear in the same scene together. The distant clouds, the serene quietness of everything that matches the silence of dreams, and the ethereal sky of stars that hangs over the scene as if there was no atmosphere and light pollution to cloud your view. The first time I saw it was with my parents and I literally said out loud “This is what my dreams look like” when that scene came on. It was euphoric, like seeing an old friend or being struck by some distant nostalgia you didn’t even remember you could feel
The first time I saw a video by cyriak (cows cows cows, and baaaa especially) I was flooded with a liminal and uncanny feeling, which I realized then was because the way his subjects move were the closest simile to the way things move in my dreams.
I shared your channel to all my cinephile friends, and we're obsessed with you now, it just frustrates me to see how underrated this channel is.
🙏 Thank you soo much! Cinephiles recognize cinephiles 🤝
1:02 i love the music combination with this clip of Coraline, and how it builds!
I find it interesting that often dreamlike scenes are bright and colourful. I don't know about anyone else, but I don't think I've ever had a dream that was bright and colourful. Even dreams that I don't consider nightmares are realistically coloured or even more dull/darker than real life. Perhaps that's just my depressive and anxious psyche. Would be interested to know if anyone's experience differs significantly.
Most of the times my dreams have realistic colors but sometimes i dream that I am in a game that i played before i went to sleep - for example minecraft. Since minecraft is really colorful i end up being in a colorful world
@@Lupaland11 That makes sense. I don't really play games, so perhaps it's just that the colour in one's dreams reflects the colour in one's real life. Might be an interesting experiment: put someone in a really colourful environment for a month or so and see what their dreams are like.
A dream is always intense so everything you see will feel like different compared to reality. Dont worry about it.
Sometimes my dreams are dark, quite bleak. Sometimes they are incredibly colorful, like a Ghibli studios movie.
I think that the way I dream has drastically shifted from before because of mental health issues. I have way more of an anxious feeling even when I’m not straight up having a nightmare, and the coloring of the images is almost from dark to gradient colors focused on the center. It happens mostly when I am elaborating traumatic experiences, but even if it’s not, I very rarely get brightly colored dreams like I remember having more often as a kid. Scary to think how the mind works on a subconscious level while asleep.
holy crap that ending sequence for this video was so well done, using the inception analogy for movie making was incredibly meta and wrapped it up so nicely
ghost, spiders, open sea, underwater, demons, serial killers do not scare me as much as the backrooms phenomenon, something so simple yet so unnerving
This video was shockingly inspirational and amazing, it felt like watching a full hour long documentary but it was only 19 minutes! Keep making videos, this is talent here!
Thinking about after life makes me cry, but not in a sad way. That feeling is dreamy. It is an unknown bliss to me
This is, hands down, the most rewarding TH-cam video I've ever watched. Thank you.
So awesome to hear, thank you for that 🙏
Why was this so stylish, tasty and relevant to sink your teeth into? Dreams and time have always been huge concepts on my mind, and Nolan is definitely taking these thoughts and themes I've been grasping at almost as far as the visual medium will take them. Great stuff and subscribing immediately
I highly suggest you look into the world of mysticism (I really recommend the Seth books by Jane Roberts) The practices of these ideas themselves allow you to explore these things for yourself.
It will only occur when the time is right for you, and when you're not insisting on them, but just allow. Meditate(if you don't know please look into it, there's lots of misconceptions) and observe time shift or feel it seem to stop, pay attention to the feeling of what your imagination feels like compared to your physical senses. Notice the different flavours of consciusness. Inner observation is the key. Become more conscious in your daily life to feel your dreams more. The more attention you pay to subtleties of your conscious experience, more things start to click. Not intellectually, but intuituvely.
And of course do what you like, but I've felt that exact undying curiosity and this was like the method to deeper understanding of something bigger than imaginable!
Everyone's already talking about liminal spaces but I like to think that any project about dreams can always be unique because some dreams can are unique and personal.
Consider one's experiences and influences etc, you can present something new.
Im so happy you talked about primer. That's one of my favorite movies OF ALL TIME. wonderfully explored concept of time. Probably the most realistic to say the least, the most accurate speculatively.
I think the parallels you manage to find between totally different topics and how you explain the obscure connections between those different fields, is a really special talent.
These videos are so good that trying to describe the experience is another whole experience by itself, so thank you a lot for your phenomenal work and for sharing.

Life is but a dream.
We were taught this as children in a simple song. Many of us forgot. As Bill Hicks once said, "Its just a ride".
I remember a couple of times when I was a kid and I had realized I was in a dream and I wanted to leave so I would just lay down and fall asleep in the dream. It actually worked somehow. I've never been able to lucid dream but I had a dream recently that was like I was in a horror movie and I wanted so desperately to escape and eventually my dream shifted to something that I was comfortable with. Very strange stuff...
every time I see rolling grass hills or suburban neighborhoods with the yellow and peach, blue house with super green yards I always get a feeling of comfort like I wanna be there or been there it’s so nostalgic feeling I never can explain it
With that, for me it feels like freedom, people living in a colorful place, nobody controlling it, no grey and dark neighborhoods or signs of city life, bueatiful blue skies and clouds flowing as if they were alive
To contrast whenever i see stuff like that I feel a sense of eeryness or dread.
@@bullettime1116me too it reminds me of a wrinkle in time
Right?? Happy fun colours, but calm, not too chaotic, and people just living, enjoying their lives and the simple pleasures like growing flowers, playing with pets, or watching the sun set with a favourite drink in hand. It seems like everyone there agrees on one thing: they all want peace. They're all willing to work together for it, and they take care of and look out for each other, but still respect privacy and mind their own business. It's an ideal little community. That word, community... Relationships, comraderie, and care. Care for things, care for people, care for life.
Same, except I get mixed feelings about it, like it all looks so lovely and homely, but at the same time it could be all "fake" and empty, and just a representation of home. It's hard to describe the feeling.

From here to the end gave me absolute shivers
I’ve never had a dream like those dream core liminal vibes , mine are very …intense and detailed to the point I refuse to believe in a singular reality as this one we all experience . At times I physically feel and smell the circumstances, other times I’d have conversations and events that happen in this reality almost like a prophecy and I’m certainly not the only person who’ve experienced this. Really made me question lots of times reality and the potential of a multiverse , almost like a visit to our “other” selves through dream state.
Whether it’s a fiction of our subconscious through the awake conscious or not , my dreams have been as well tools to creativity just as you mentioned in the video. Dreams are fascinating to me.
I’ve also had dreams within a dream within a dream , where I’d wake up within the dream only to re wake up to re wake up until I actually wake up. My dreams are so important to my sanity
Amazing video , anything that has to do with liminal spaces , back rooms and dream core for some reason simply gives me a lot of …. Peace
I have the exact same experiences with my dreams and feel the exact same way! the multiverse, seeing the future and experiencing a glimpse of another's life is so real and fascinating to experience. have a good day ♡
Same it’s weird
I've long experience this too. Either super realistic or so far out of existence but it still feels real. And it usually predicts something that actually happens. Or I speak with dead relatives.
Of course no one believes me so whatever.

@@juanmccoy3066 All I have to say to people who exp it too, make a movie about it . The light , Color , vibe , sensation , perspective and occurrence
When I was younger, I had a recurring dream, I got it once every month or so. Eventually I began recognizing that it was a dream, and I began doing different things in the dream to see what would happen
can never get over how familiar some of those places feel..
It's actually pretty interesting to see what kind of places most people see in their dreams.
I've actually never seen a 'places you've seen in your dreams' picture, that would depict something I'd ever dreamed off, maybe because my brain knows it'll trigger a lucid dreaming session, as soon as it presents me with something impossible/unreal and tries to avoid it?

what an incredible video, super well made and researched, cried at the end at "Life is the most beautiful movie we will ever get to see" 10/10
I dream every single night. I always remember my dreams, 98% of the time. I can remember dreams I had when I was first learning consciousness at a very young age. I’ve had panic attacks in my sleep, sleep paralysis so many times, also I have lucid dreams where I can make my own visual decisions. I’ve also managed to remind myself I am sleeping and can talk for myself. Dreams are so weird but I wouldn’t give it up for any amount of money. I feel like I have a whole different life in my dreams. I am the same person but so different. 👁
A single dream is more powerful than a thousand realities
- J.R.R Tolkien
Same here. I barely sleep, usually just a few hours a day. But I always remember several dreams after I wake up. And in my dreams, no matter what they're about, I have the ability to float in the air. It's not like flying, but hovering. I jump, and bend my legs, or lean back, and this prevents me from coming back down. I hover just a few feet above the ground. I can do this in any dream, even nightmares. And when I'm doing it, I'm always showing off, basically saying "hey everyone, look at me!". Yesterday I had a dream where a tidal wave of... Weird neon glowing liquid was coming. It was like running away from (fast) lava, but it looked like psychedelic radiant blue and pink stuff. I ran into my house to warn my parents and tell them to leave because the wave was about to wash over the house. When I left, it was already too close so I had to use my hover ability to escape. This was a serious and scary moment, but because I was hovering, my "look how far I can float!" attitude came back and I was so delighted with myself, timing how long I could go without touching the ground, and saying "why don't you all just float too?", knowing full well that nobody else could do it 😂
I also always know when I'm asleep, and am fully conscious. Even if I don't know how to control my dreams, I have full control of myself within them. I have thoughts, feelings, and everything I'd have in real life, so the experience feels just as real. I can also wake up whenever I want, just by thinking "I should wake up now" or "I think I heard something". I've never moved in my sleep, because I'm always fully aware when I wake up and turn over or adjust my position before going back to sleep. Even if i don't open my eyes, I'm fully conscious of it. So I've never woken up in a different position than I fell asleep. I've also never being confused about where I was when I woke up. Even before I open my eyes, I always know exactly what I'm going to see when I do, even when sleeping in a new and unfamiliar location. I remember where I fell asleep even before I wake up, so there is no surprise or confusion when I wake up.
This is exactly how I dream, you described it perfectly
Most people can only remember dreams if they’ve been highly emotional. For example nightmares.
You guys should try different drugs to get a bit more rest.
My dream places feel homey and safe because it's basically my own world. It sometimes feels like I can visit the same spots. Once I dreamt about being a in a neighborhood, it was warm and sunset and people were out playing and laughing and the houses were beautiful and I remember my house was tall and brown and made of brick, it was pure bliss
There's no better feeling than a good dream
That was a deep statement,life is the best movie we will ever see. Brought me thoughts of my baby opening her eyes.
This video is absolutely beautiful. The kind of video essays I love watching in my free time, thank you for not only showing the dreamscape and solidifying my understanding of the aesthetic but expanding my knowledge on the history and background of the subject.

I'm surprised you didn't mention any David Lynch movies, since a lot of his movies are inspired by dreams and have this very surreal atmosphere. Nevertheless, excellent video!
I had so many other movies that I would've loved to discuss but I couldn't find a way to integrate them without making it too tedious. Had to stick to the most famous ones. I did mention some of Lynch his work in the first video, but I would have loved to talk about it in the Surrealism stage of this video as well.
and just like that... this video became one of my favorite videos ever
Extremely well done, well researched and overall perfectly organized...
Relating all these themes of dreams, dementia, schyzophrenia and an scape from reality was just genius
Thank you for this
I always had a hard time controlling my dreams until I was told to repeat to myself over and over to dream about a mirror and see my reflection. When I finally was able to, I no longer was afraid.
This video was so absolutely beautiful. I weapt deeply. It encompasses so much truth and passion. Perfect selection of music and understanding of composition. Thank you for your hard work and talent for making such a unique transitional piece. 👏
The sound tracks you had in this film was crazy, i am so glad i watched this, definitely left me inspired!!!
This video reminds me of one of those iconic videos that were made years ago with millions of views that everyone gets in their recommended at least once. Was schocked to realise it was only uploaded a few days ago with 60k views. I hope this becomes one of those iconic vids, it’s so well made!!
❤️
Made me emotional how this video is so well written. Might get a tattoo of that last quote you said.
I agree with the other comments, this video is really really well done.
The "strangely familiar places" aren't familiar to me at all.. but my dreams were strange since I can remember, often so strange I can't even tell what I dreamed.
Can't speak for my childhood, but my dreams nowadays are a culmination of familiar places I've seen or been, but it's not exactly it. I get how sometimes it can represent liminal spaces, as these places can be unerving, but it's never as grand or creative as these images. They do represent how childhood content looked and can bring up nostalgia and the emptiness of the unknown can scare us because we aren't familiar with it bit it looks like something we seen as a kid. That's why I probably wouldn't doubt if I had dreams similar to these images as a kid. Now I have dreams of being in a city being chased by nemesis from resident evil. Not scary but thrilling, and it reflects what content I absorb now. It's strange.
Vivarium is a good example of the dystopian world and the cell reminds me of the surrealism movement.
Yes you're right, I mentioned it in the first video!
@@DuCinema1 oooo!!
Here is another idea about dreams: What if dreams are actually previews of the afterlife world? Maybe dreams are our emotional, spiritual and mental states, memories and experiences manifested into a visible/physical world?
I love the topic around liminal spaces or in General strangely familiar places. Thank you for uploading such a great content ❤
watching Inception in 2010 at an empty run down movie theater that peaked in the 80's was weird, how much of this is just gen z/millennial nostalgia combined with technology
on this topic i’d like to mention one of my favourite movies, Sucker Punch. it may not be the best movie objectively, but it’s my fav bc i had some great memories with it. it’s about a dream world within a dream world within a dream world. pretty interesting
Definitely this!!! I remember watching this for the first time questioning what was going on.
This video was so good that it made my breathing like 2 seconds slower
When I first stumbled on this Channel I said to myself “finally a good quality movie channel” love you man keep up the good work
❤️ Thank you so much!
omfg outro got me tearing up this is just so beautifully crafted
What a terrific video. Just speaking about these profound moments in the films you mentioned is moving. That and the score you used brought it all together. Well done!
The cat in the hat neighbourhood is imprinted on my brain so strongly and I had never bothered to look it up because i just had a feeling thats where the neighbourhoods in my dreams were from, I’m glad to see I was right.
Sometimes before sleep I wish myself to enjoy my dream, even ifI won;t remember it after waking up.
This feeling of dream evaporating from your memory as you wake up is so surreal, yet I experience it almost any time I think about it.
You can remember dreams better by keeping a dream journal and not moving (not even a twitch) for around 5-15 minutes after waking while trying to recall the dream. There's some memory techniques you can use during this time to pull from different memories to see if anything matches with the dreams
By far my fav new TH-camr. I always felt like I was alone when it came to loving or learning about these things. The fact that you put so much effort into this video just shows me how into it you are just as much as me. Even teaching me new things expanding my mind !!! New subscriber
🙏❤️
the only thing i wasn't expecting was another version of this video!!!!!! thank you again
Have been working on this for quite a few months, besides I was at a screening with director Gaspar Noe and he talked about how nobody really analyzes dreams in movies. So I had to do it 🙏🚪🖼🌈
I actully finished watching the video and it blew my mind how to found a connection between the liminal spaces and reality of life, maybe this life is actully a dream fed into our brains or generated by it but on this one its bound to certain rules
I don’t see these and see my dreams. I see moments that feel like they may or may not have been in my childhood.
This video was so well made it honestly hurt a little, especially after mentions like Tchaikovsky, to not have mentioned Alejandro Jodorowski and especially his movie the Holy Mountain. I refuse to give spoilers but it ends with the same sentiment of this video only even more literally
You just made a video with the golden list of movies, all of the movies you cited are AMAZING
this felt like a production of a channel with more than 1 million subscribers, keep up the good work
Holy shit, this just made me remember the dream I had last night. It was kind of backroomsy, but it was instead that if something you were dying in a specific way, you would fall through the world into a small, spinning yellow box, maybe 20 feet across, with a door floating on one end. There were maybe 7 or 8 people, and all of the people there were huddled up in one corner, since the box being tilted but not spinning tilted meant trying to be on the other corner was more likely to throw you off, and someone occasionally came through to check on us through the door, some sort of ringleader. The door would never open for us, only him, and I remember me and one other pulling him down into the room and running across tons of creepy liminal spaces. Really fuckin weird dream.
The weirdest part though, is that I remember having it before. Except I was one of the people already there this time.
Why doesn’t this have millions of views and likes?!? I am blown away from this video it touches on everything and contains such a good narrative and soundtrack to keep you engaged and lost at the same time. Well done my friend, I have done my part and I hope others do the same because this video shouldn’t go unnoticed.
Thank you so much for the awesome words!
My understanding of Mr. Nobody is that he could see and understand all of his likely futures. When he has to choose between his mother and father, he effectively experiences both lives regardless of what he actually chooses.
Having pretty good editing quality aside this guy is really great at picking background musics. Really fits in with the rest of the video.
There's a caretaker track about a third of the way through. Absolutely perfect thinking about dreamscapes
Then he brings up a different caretaker track. I should've finished the video before commenting😅
This video was amazing. I used to have so many lucid dreams that I felt I had a double life and that became a big part of how I became a creative person. I felt this video was so well written that I wish I could have seen this sooner. Instant subscription to you, sir.
Why does this only have 1k Views??? This deserves more
As a child I was able to have lucid dreams but I lost that ability when I got older. As a child I often had re-occurring dreams; the same dream over and over again many nights but not necessary consecutive nights. Yet as they were re-occurring , I would sometimes find myself in a situation in the dream where I realized "Hey, wait a sec. I've been here before and I've done that before. But why? Yeah, right, that was in a dream. Hold on... so, is this a dream right now?" and that was the moment I realized I'm dreaming and from that moment on, I was able to actively manipulate the dream; which meant a pretty tough time for the witch who way hunting me as all of a sudden I had super powers. There was only one important rule: Don't overuse your abilities. If you concentrate too hard to make something happen in your lucid dream, you will somehow fall out of your own dream and wake up yourself. So it's not like you can force anything to happen, it's more like you wish something to happen and in most cases your wish is granted, albeit not always exactly as you wished for, which you must accept and just go with flow.
I don’t think time exists as much as consciousness of aging and events exist . Without consciousness time does not exist. Just an idea! Lovely video love getting to come a share and see ideas 🫶
Just realized how trippy my favorite movies are. Thanks for shouting out Primer thats such a great movie.
This video was beautifully crafted. I hope you never stop producing these art pieces of film analysis.
I have felt this so much in my life in childhood.
I remember I got lost in this really strange toy store in this weird park kinda thing. The store was actually really cool but the store had the main area then it would have these offshoot rooms far away from the main room and you’d have to explore around and when you’d get to the back of those rooms there was no one in there but cool toys I liked and it felt surreal.
I can’t remember the name of the store or if it exists but it was at a place called thanksgiving point in utah. Which is a park which in and of itself is very liminal I mean look up pictures of it.
Look up thanksgiving point gardens it’s legit like a dreamworld.
My dreams are almost always comprised of words, shapes, colors, and abstract concepts, not dreamscapes in the traditional sense. That's why I've always felt aloof from movies in which dreams are depicted as having cities, or landscapes, or otherwise realistic or recognizable locations.
interesting
Do you have aphantasia? Just curious, I never heard of someone dreaming like that
@@Moonkin444 I had to look up what that is, but, no, I don't have it. I actually have quite vivid mental imagery. I think the reason I dream in words and abstract concepts is because I spend most of my waking life reading, writing, typing, and pondering, which spills over into my dreams.
@@AidenRKrone interesting, I guess that makes sense. Thanks for your reply 😊
@@Moonkin444 what does it mean when I don't dream often but when I do dream it is always in a car, me running and facing something before my dream ends or something odd like clipping through a floor, or falling
Movies, TV, books, music, paintings, sculpture, gardens, nature. All beautiful, terrifying, illuminating dreams. This was really cool.
Great video! They're getting better every time. Love the subject as well. Vivarium is another one in that direction I'd recommend to anyone who hasn't seen it.
Thank you so much! I actually talked about vivarium in the previous video. Such an eerie movie
I had to ctrl+F to get here, because that movie to me was deeply unsettling. I'm surprised that there were no snippets of it in this video
This is seriously one the most beautiful videos I've ever watched. Truly a masterpiece ❤
That is so amazing to hear!! Thank you so much.
A couple of good dream movies you missed are 1) Dreamscape 1984 staring Dennis Quaid. 2) The Prince of Darkness 1987 it has a great dream sequence where people from the future project information through dreams.
I literally got chills at the end having gained this knowledge and all of the complex thoughts and ideas. At the end when all of it is closed back up very neatly into a few easy-to-unpack sentiments, with the heavenly, yet slightly melancholic soundtrack playing in the background just made me feel like i was myself floating away into a white nothingness, yet i wasn't scared or apprehensive.. it's weird and the only thing i could imagine it being similar to is the sensation of dying :D. (TLDR: video made me feel like dying xD)
You did everything right, even mentioning the therm Limbo with Nostalgia and Dementia. Very well researched content you make here. Bravo
The amazing Anime film 'Paprika' by Satoshi Kon inspired Inception. I very much suggest it to everyone who's also found their way to this video. It's about independent films, dreams & conquering your fears. All of his works are pieces of art worth watching with friends.
This is one of the most high quality TH-cam videos I've ever watched. Honestly amazing 👏. Well done.
this is the best video i've watched in a while. amazingly complied and so well-made. gave me goosebumps
I really liked the way this dreamcore video was discussed, it's just as good as the liminal space one. Very atmospheric, its so nice.
