The issue with talking about dreams is that you’re not Shakespeare, and you won’t be able to convey the emotion you were feeling accurately, so you either have to simplify which feels wrong or you will just be lost babbling about the colour of the ball
for me, every dream feels like a memory. not like an old memory with nostalgic tendencies, but rather just a random memory that popped into my head one day from years ago, it's all fuzzy, no understanding of what's going on, and trying to remember that dream makes it even fuzzier. since it was created in your head, and now your head is trying to reconstruct what it just created, it just starts making it even more messed up as it tries to remember a fake memory, so it makes it feel like a decade old memory, even if it's just a dream.
The most extraordinary part of dreaming is when you have the exact same dream again. I have had two repeating dreams, one I have seen three times and the other two times. Somehow in those dreams you are always aware that you are having the same dream again
one time i had a dream twice, but the second time i knew everything that happened and it was really boring so i basically just speedran the dream until i got to the good part then i woke up because my brain hates me like that

I like the feeling after a good dream, and those fading memories feel SO IMPORTANT. Like the dream was a message I have to decode. And the more I try to remember the dream, the more I forget.

Over the course of lockdown I've been having more and more dreams where the dream is quite literally a game of csgo, tf2, or gmod. Nothing ever interesting happens, but I find it surprising at just how well my brain remembers the layout of dust2, 2fort and construct. Especially when it could be using that space for better things.

I used to have a dream series that i would constantly dream. I dreamt it one night, the next episode the night after and it went on daily for a while. I was in high school at the time and everybody thought i was making it up but i wasn't. It was set in post apocalyptic future where i reject the society and live out of town, in some sort of a bat cave in the desert. I have a cool flying motorcycle that i use to run from the goofy looking robot police. I had a few companions but none of them stuck, some disappeared without warning, others died in tragic ways. It abruptly stopped a few years ago. A lot has happened and i've archived very few. Most episodes were pretty similar, i do some illegal but morally right stuff in the city and run from the police with my bike. Then defeat them in the desert and sometimes fight some worm monsters. It seems generic and boring but living through those moments was certainly an experience.

I always get knocked out of a dream when blinking. I once had a dream set in a 90’s looking house with a couple of very friendly old people. I’d jump around and fly, warp the very matter the room was made from, all while they watched on, amazed. At one point, I looked at my wristwatch, and told them it was time for me to go. I felt their presence disappear as I started to blink, and when I opened my eyes, I was in my bed, with only the memory of those friendly people.
I love this series so much Phil, thx for doing this :D for me, its awesome to hear/have these more intimate short videos and I apprecciate you for what you are. Good night everyone ^^
The earliest dream I remember is whe I was like 5, I was in a bath tub outside my house, then from behind the car darth maul appeared and was making chicken sounds, when I panicked I realised I was taped into the bath tub.
I've also met Neil and Chris quite often in my dreams, we will probably run into each other as well eventually Philip. :) P.S. I got all the song references, Yes.
One topic that I find similar to this idea of dreams is visualization, where you close your eyes and somehow see something, I always find dreams infrequent and unable to control so the idea of being able to just close my eyes and see something interests me.
I've these recurrent dreams where I'm suddenly back in high school, late for a exam I didn't know about or that already happened, and now I had to redo the whole year again. It makes me feel worse than any scary nightmare I might have. In fact, I haven't really had a scary nightmare since I was a child.
I've been a fan of this channel forever, because as a fellow youtuber it provided a lot of interesting information, unique insight, and never felt like it needed to be anything more than the most unique and interesting videos--a look into the stuff a full time youtuber wants to create. Now, it's spamming me daily.
Ever since I started mapping for counter-strike, I'd occasionally have dreams set in some alleyway or plaza or something, made up of jumbled elements from different places I've been to in real life or seen in pictures. Things like the setting of a climatic Star Wars battle scene, or a staircase at my college, or one of the Windows Spotlight images that's been my lockscreen or something like that. While I'm asleep, these places don't seem all that special, but when I wake up and remember them, I suddenly realize that I really really want to visit that place. I've found it incredibly relaxing to go into Minecraft and build these places to the best of my ability, or to try to think of a way to make into a Counter Strike bombsite or something. Every time I have a dream with one of these places in it, I get a warm and fuzzy feeling that can't really compare to anything else I've experienced.
With the classic kliks music, this feels like a normal kliksphilip video with less editing and not a 'phil video' anymore. Nothing wrong with that of course we love hearing you talk. You're right, music does have a lot of association
Wow I've never heard of someone experiencing dreams the exact same way I do. Especially the part where you think you're back at an old workplace or back at school with an exam you forgot about. When I was young I had nightmares so often I was scared of going to sleep
this is like the essay the talented kid wrote in school, where the teacher thought it was coppied from a sucessfull author xD i like that you talk about the feeling of a dream, as that is precisely what i think aout the most after i wake up. Its always the feeling and not the content that matters in the dream. also: very kind of you to use the same music as in your "sleep-gambling" videos. xD
I am sad about the Fuzz distortion part, I mean that was a really cool idea, but it's probably for the best :) EDIT: Want to do something fun? Try to fade into Fuzz distortion in a future 5 minutes with Phil too see if retention is lower there or if people notice at all.
I visit some of these places in my dream that I wish I could experience in real life. There's this particular beachside resort I see so often, it's made of white marble but it's abandoned so it's all pale yellow and dusty, there's a swimming pool accompanied by tables but it's all dried out. Everytime I see it, it feels so calm and peaceful. Whenever I tell about that place to someone I always wonder if they see it the same way as I see/describe it, like those perfect details like curve of that pool, trees in distance, etc.
I've had one dream that's stuck with me for a while. I can remember the colors, scenery, and the architecture there. Whenever I see something similar irl, like the colors, I get this nostalgia feeling. I don't think nostalgia is the word for it but it's the closest feeling I could get.
i have a lot of dreams where I'm playing a videogame my game created. when I wake up, I realize how fucking cool the genre I created or mimicked in my head was, and wish for more dreams and games like it. i know EXACTLY what you meant by the "feeling" people get from their dreams, the surreal dreams I have have such an amazing atmosphere.
I find myself dreaming about returning from lockdown and returning to school. Its the only recurring dream I've gotten in the past year. I don't believe there is a hidden meaning or some cosmic sign about it. I want the lockdown to end and I want normalcy to return, who doesn't? I don't think I'm the only person having similar dreams, its like the going to school naked dreams.
Philip has said he has terrible sleep schedule. I noticed that when I sleep tired and groggy I'm more likely to dream and even get more vivid images. In some cases it can overcome my aphantasia (I can't imagine visually in my mind) when I'm sufficiently exhausted and trying to fall asleep. I think being tired plays a big part, like it somehow inhibits the parts of our brains that make sense of it all and lets the imagination run wild
Do you have places, which as far as you know, don't exist in reality or fiction, but keep dreaming about? I do, and I find it super interesting, like a world all its own inside my head. The usual place for me is a smallish shack under a concrete girder bridge, surrounded by murky woodland and next to a river. I often don't even remember what the dream was about, but I do remember that it's in the same place again. Yeah, that's the bit I wanted to share. Dreams are often weird to bring up in regular conversation, most people think you're weird if you bring them up too much.
hearing u talk about sleep stuff is honestly really interesting ive always been like vaguely interested in sleep but have difficulty finding stuff, but between this n ur sleep lottery stuff it is definitely refreshing to see i think at least
Edit: wait this is interesting haha. I was obsessed with lucid dreaming for years. Dreams are fascinating and a cool overlooked part of life, and much more controlable than they are given credit for. I've been in a ton of lucid dreams, flown, transformed into animals, went through walls and a million things, some hard to describe. Whatever they mean is jumbled and would really only make sense to you anyway. I remember a line by a writer I like "In a dream, you're not scared because there's a tiger. There's a tiger because you are scared"
@@Toad_Hugger yeah, they're great :D thanks. It makes me happy to find other people interested in dreams this way, not trying to interpret them with psychology or superstition but the actual experience of them.
Nice quote! I like that. I only think I've had 2 lucid dreams where I noticed I was in a dream and started changing my surroundings at will.. but not long after I woke up. The best I've had has been when falling asleep, almost half asleep half awake, I can choose where I'm going (visually it's usually like being on a rollercoaster that goes where ever you want, from abstract geometry spinning past to somewhat made up fantasy like landscapes or rooms). The dreams like when waking up and falling asleep again are usually some scenario with people and an objective that is always changing, it feels like I'm back in the dream I was having during rem but only now I can be there and remember (also change things if I notice it's a dream) But yeah that shit crey cray
@@xDRAGONSHAGGERx cool! In my experience the biggest chance of a lucid or intense dream is in those moments as you describe, half asleep half awake. That's also when good ol sleep paralysis might strike haha. In general I found that the best moment for a lucid dream is when you wake up a couple hours before your usual time and try to sleep again. You're well rested so you have energy to keep your awareness, but you're also relaxed and right at the gates of sleep 😁
@@Ogaitnas900 ahh cool so I'm half way there I suppose aha its good to know! Sleep paralysis and the shadow figure... That's one creepy dude 😬 it would be interesting to know what causes the shadow figure to show up, like the fear tiger.
I really enjoyed your Sleep Disruption series, so this video is quite of a welcome sight for me (Though I'm still wondering why they're on 2kliksphilip). For some reason, it's really calming and satisfying to listen to You talking about the abstract world of dreams, and things associated with it
I went through a phase of dreaming in my minecraft worlds. That was pretty cool. I never have vivid enough dreams to get fine details, so the blockiness wasn't really discernible that I can recall.
The timing is kind of crazy because I just had a really long and kind of strange dream last night that I haven’t stopped thinking about since I woke up. Kind of funny to hear phillip talking about dreams now as well ahaha
I have always felt like this but was never able to express this in words and never found someone who felt it in a similar way, you described it perfectly that the feeling that accompanies the dreams is extremely unique, it feels more real and immersive even though your brain knows it's not. I have had some really wierd dreams that makes absolutely no sense. I have written down some of these just to read them later. What I have found out is that the dreams are kinda like stored in your brain's ram (temp storage) and as soon as you wake up you need to transfer this to your brain's HDD/SSD (permanent storage) by immediately going through the whole dream in your head or better by just writing them down somewhere (best way). If you don't do this you forget most of the details and sometimes even the order of events. You can try this, it's really fun to read these after a few months/years. Also there is a technique called Lucid Dreaming, you can also try going that rabbit hole but I personally have never tried it. Just like you I have had this exam dream multiple times that I am going to fail in a school exam as I am not prepared, I have this type of dream in like every 3-6 months. Maybe this is because I was scared of failing a school exam even though I was good at academics or maybe this is due to the fact that I feel I am never prepared enough for anything. I feel like I am not scared of failing at anything now but maybe deep down I am still scared of failing, who knows?
i listened to you talking about dreams for 5 minutes, so i'll spend a few to give you my own thoughts on the matter. I dont remember all my dreams, i dont know what i dreamt about this night, though i mostlikely did. I only remember 1 dream from the past week, and i just vaguely remember what a small section (10 seconds maybe?) of what it was about. I know that nice feeling from a good dream every morning, like that i had experienced something i'd never forget if it actually happened, but within moments i start to forget everything about the dream. i might vaguely remember what happened, i may remember an important part, but very soon i pretty much forget everything that i had just dreamed about. Unless it's a really, really good dream, i never remember it for more than 3 minutes after i wake up. And i get a little sad every morning when i forget a good dream. I find it kind of terrifying that i can forget something i thought was real in just moments. that my own brain deletes something i would want to remember. something that it had just experienced is being wiped away. (let's get sidetracked) And speaking of forgetting, I find dementia horrifying. The thought of your real, true memories getting wiped out of your mind. And you likely wouldn't even know it was happening, because you couldnt remember anything. Your past as you experienced it being lost forever. and not just dementia, i really wish i could remember more things i experienced as a child. (back to dreams) I have 2 dreams that have stuck with me. Not that i dream them often, just that i do remember them. And it isn't really dreams themselves, it's the feeling that i get from them. I barely even remember anything about those 2 dreams, they're really abstract. They're the only dreams i remember having more than once. And it's so exciting when i have one of those dreams. I know what dream i had just had and try my best every time to try to remember anything from them i can, but apart from a small vague detail, i forget everything. But the feeling that comes with them, It's one of the best feelings i've felt. And i coudln't describe it. I remember having them when i was a young. I remember having one of those dreams once and i dont remember the dream itself, i remember the feeling it brought up and trying my best to rebember and re live it. The kind of sad thing is that i havent had any of these dreams in a long while. I had one a year or two ago and really wish it would happen again. If anyone read this, spent a few minutes of your time to listen to me blabbling on about my dreams, thank you
I've got to say, I get the exact same type of dream about failing a course at the university, despite having graduated over a year ago. I also can't tell that it was a dream for a few minutes after waking up.. it's a strange feeling.
The only dreams that i seem to remember long term are the nightmares. The good ones are gone within an hour or two. The story, tone, plot and characters changing every couple of minutes to not get too boring.
I often remember a dream I had were I was watching a family. A mother and daughter going about their life. Eating toast and having coffee at a shop on a street I’ve never been on. They were quiet and seemed unhappy until the ghost of the father came and I could see them smile and talk to him. I remember the feeling of intense sadness I got from this dream. Something about it though is the same feeling a good story give.
This is a great video! I feel like this is an incredibly interesting conversational piece, especially with your thoughts, so much so that I instinctively switched to discord and started looking for someone to talk to about this lol
I'm nearing the end of my second year of Uni and since I started, I've been getting recurring dreams of being back in high school. Last night it was a double of being on a school trip with a bunch of people from my year, to then trying to infiltrate a parents evening event so I could find one of my old physics teachers to explain some maths that my tutor wasn't doing a good job of teaching me (which isn't even true, all of my tutors are great). I've had multiple dreams where we all re-join as a year group to go on another South Africa trip (my high school had an almost two week long trip to there in February for 6th years), and I always remember boarding the plane and then getting to the hotel and it being a different establishment each time. The best one I had was a couple weeks ago where, for some strange reason, everyone in my year group returned to high school for a month, with normal classes and everything. It was great being back in a room of people I knew and walking the halls of the building recognising the face of everyone that walked past me. I really don't need to do any searching for a deeper meaning, because I clearly know how much I miss those 6 years of my life. I've made 2 friends at Uni, one of them in first year who then moved to a different uni at the start of second year. And the other I made at the same time as the first one left, as a result of befriending them during lockdown, I've seen them exactly once, all of our socialising has been done through Discord. I know it's my own fault for not making more friends, I've never been willing to talk to people unless it's absolutely necessary. But what I didn't realise at the time, is that high school allowed me to communicate with anyone regardless of whether or not I wanted to be friends with them, spending 7 hours a day in classes you eventually get know everyone no matter how self conscious you are. I recognise the faces of my fellow students at uni but I am still yet to put any names to them, and I know it's my fault that I can't do that. I just miss the 6 years worth of acquaintances I developed back then.
i remember having a bad relationship with my dad a few years back (kinda still have) and i dreamt of him just suddenly dying one day, and i felt so bad cuz i never took the time to improve our relationship, i woke up crying. its the dream i remember the most, seeing this video made me reconsider about having a dream journal because there are some many interesting dreams i have already forgot. thanks philip.

Whenever there's a computer in a dream, it's the computers from the Minecraft mod open computers, don't know why
I love this series so much Phil, thx for doing this :D for me, its awesome to hear/have these more intimate short videos and I apprecciate you for what you are. Good night everyone ^^
This video background is helping me make eye contact with people
I like this new form, it's like the random old videos talking about interesting things, except we get it every day
This is the most relatable video I have ever watched on TH-cam, thank you very much Philip.
Suddenly I get social experiment vibes from this series...
Absolutely love it!
The earliest dream I remember is whe I was like 5, I was in a bath tub outside my house, then from behind the car darth maul appeared and was making chicken sounds, when I panicked I realised I was taped into the bath tub.
The next video should be called "Phil-ing up your feed", only joking keep up the quality content Kliksphilip!
I've also met Neil and Chris quite often in my dreams, we will probably run into each other as well eventually Philip. :)
P.S. I got all the song references, Yes.
I realised last video that there must be more but clearly my music taste doesn't overlap with Phil's sufficiently to get most of them.
You're so intimidating when you are talking to Neil. Also that cutoff was the best.
Also I seem to stumble upon youtube just at times when you have released this series.
I love these types of videos. Dreams are cool, thanks for sharing yours. I love your background song, MS20, shit is a banger. Thank you for this.
This is the first time I've seen someone else tak about how they'd rather do stuff in dreams, it feels a lot less embarrassing to experience that now
Love the choice of your dad’s classic music, thank you Phil
This video series is the highlight of most of my days. Thank you for making them
Woah Phil, I didn't think our relationship would be moving this quickly...
The best in the series so far! (Not just because we didn't have to listen to that dying keyboard)
One topic that I find similar to this idea of dreams is visualization, where you close your eyes and somehow see something, I always find dreams infrequent and unable to control so the idea of being able to just close my eyes and see something interests me.
I know this is a hard sell, but the feeling you're describing is literally that of a psychedelic drug trip.
i feel like derealization feels kind of similar. for me personally at least.
I've these recurrent dreams where I'm suddenly back in high school, late for a exam I didn't know about or that already happened, and now I had to redo the whole year again. It makes me feel worse than any scary nightmare I might have. In fact, I haven't really had a scary nightmare since I was a child.
my life is better because of this vids
I love the sleep and dream videos. The sleep disruption series is my favorite thing you have made across all your channels
Perfect timing, just last night I rewatched the sleep disruption series!
I've been a fan of this channel forever, because as a fellow youtuber it provided a lot of interesting information, unique insight, and never felt like it needed to be anything more than the most unique and interesting videos--a look into the stuff a full time youtuber wants to create. Now, it's spamming me daily.
Ever since I started mapping for counter-strike, I'd occasionally have dreams set in some alleyway or plaza or something, made up of jumbled elements from different places I've been to in real life or seen in pictures. Things like the setting of a climatic Star Wars battle scene, or a staircase at my college, or one of the Windows Spotlight images that's been my lockscreen or something like that. While I'm asleep, these places don't seem all that special, but when I wake up and remember them, I suddenly realize that I really really want to visit that place. I've found it incredibly relaxing to go into Minecraft and build these places to the best of my ability, or to try to think of a way to make into a Counter Strike bombsite or something. Every time I have a dream with one of these places in it, I get a warm and fuzzy feeling that can't really compare to anything else I've experienced.
With the classic kliks music, this feels like a normal kliksphilip video with less editing and not a 'phil video' anymore. Nothing wrong with that of course we love hearing you talk. You're right, music does have a lot of association
The Sleep Disruption series spin-off episode i've been waiting for :D
Wow I've never heard of someone experiencing dreams the exact same way I do. Especially the part where you think you're back at an old workplace or back at school with an exam you forgot about. When I was young I had nightmares so often I was scared of going to sleep
this is like the essay the talented kid wrote in school, where the teacher thought it was coppied from a sucessfull author xD
i like that you talk about the feeling of a dream, as that is precisely what i think aout the most after i wake up. Its always the feeling and not the content that matters in the dream.
also: very kind of you to use the same music as in your "sleep-gambling" videos. xD
Hey Philip, I really love this series, it is great for listening to when I am doing something else. Thanks.
I am sad about the Fuzz distortion part, I mean that was a really cool idea, but it's probably for the best :)
EDIT: Want to do something fun? Try to fade into Fuzz distortion in a future 5 minutes with Phil too see if retention is lower there or if people notice at all.
I wish you made more videos about sleep with THE music, but also love this series.
Been waiting for this since the sleep disruption trilogy
you should do a podcast, these videos are strangely calming
I visit some of these places in my dream that I wish I could experience in real life. There's this particular beachside resort I see so often, it's made of white marble but it's abandoned so it's all pale yellow and dusty, there's a swimming pool accompanied by tables but it's all dried out. Everytime I see it, it feels so calm and peaceful. Whenever I tell about that place to someone I always wonder if they see it the same way as I see/describe it, like those perfect details like curve of that pool, trees in distance, etc.
Don't stop making this series, it's great
I've had one dream that's stuck with me for a while. I can remember the colors, scenery, and the architecture there. Whenever I see something similar irl, like the colors, I get this nostalgia feeling. I don't think nostalgia is the word for it but it's the closest feeling I could get.
Sleep Disruption Forever
i have a lot of dreams where I'm playing a videogame my game created. when I wake up, I realize how fucking cool the genre I created or mimicked in my head was, and wish for more dreams and games like it. i know EXACTLY what you meant by the "feeling" people get from their dreams, the surreal dreams I have have such an amazing atmosphere.
Having been on a weird Kliksphilipp marathon this video feels a bit like a repeat of those videos you already did on dreams
I find myself dreaming about returning from lockdown and returning to school. Its the only recurring dream I've gotten in the past year. I don't believe there is a hidden meaning or some cosmic sign about it. I want the lockdown to end and I want normalcy to return, who doesn't? I don't think I'm the only person having similar dreams, its like the going to school naked dreams.
My dreams never seemed so detailed, creative or intense as others describe theirs. :/
Philip has said he has terrible sleep schedule. I noticed that when I sleep tired and groggy I'm more likely to dream and even get more vivid images. In some cases it can overcome my aphantasia (I can't imagine visually in my mind) when I'm sufficiently exhausted and trying to fall asleep. I think being tired plays a big part, like it somehow inhibits the parts of our brains that make sense of it all and lets the imagination run wild
Super accurate explanation of dreams
Do you have places, which as far as you know, don't exist in reality or fiction, but keep dreaming about? I do, and I find it super interesting, like a world all its own inside my head. The usual place for me is a smallish shack under a concrete girder bridge, surrounded by murky woodland and next to a river. I often don't even remember what the dream was about, but I do remember that it's in the same place again. Yeah, that's the bit I wanted to share. Dreams are often weird to bring up in regular conversation, most people think you're weird if you bring them up too much.
I also have reccuring dream locations but I never remeber much about them, I couldn't describe them to you in the slightest
Sleep distruption case openings is the name i will call this episode, may the title be what ever
i really enjoyed the many cheeky references to psb song. good video
These videos are great to listen to while cooking. Thanks for the daily rambles Phillip (not Phil)
hearing u talk about sleep stuff is honestly really interesting
ive always been like vaguely interested in sleep but have difficulty finding stuff, but between this n ur sleep lottery stuff it is definitely refreshing to see i think at least
Edit: wait this is interesting haha. I was obsessed with lucid dreaming for years. Dreams are fascinating and a cool overlooked part of life, and much more controlable than they are given credit for. I've been in a ton of lucid dreams, flown, transformed into animals, went through walls and a million things, some hard to describe. Whatever they mean is jumbled and would really only make sense to you anyway.
I remember a line by a writer I like "In a dream, you're not scared because there's a tiger. There's a tiger because you are scared"
Have you seen his other videos on dreaming and sleep?
Just search Kliksphilip sleep or kliksphilip dreams and you should get most of them.
@@Toad_Hugger yeah, they're great :D thanks. It makes me happy to find other people interested in dreams this way, not trying to interpret them with psychology or superstition but the actual experience of them.
Nice quote! I like that. I only think I've had 2 lucid dreams where I noticed I was in a dream and started changing my surroundings at will.. but not long after I woke up.
The best I've had has been when falling asleep, almost half asleep half awake, I can choose where I'm going (visually it's usually like being on a rollercoaster that goes where ever you want, from abstract geometry spinning past to somewhat made up fantasy like landscapes or rooms).
The dreams like when waking up and falling asleep again are usually some scenario with people and an objective that is always changing, it feels like I'm back in the dream I was having during rem but only now I can be there and remember (also change things if I notice it's a dream)
But yeah that shit crey cray
@@xDRAGONSHAGGERx cool! In my experience the biggest chance of a lucid or intense dream is in those moments as you describe, half asleep half awake. That's also when good ol sleep paralysis might strike haha. In general I found that the best moment for a lucid dream is when you wake up a couple hours before your usual time and try to sleep again. You're well rested so you have energy to keep your awareness, but you're also relaxed and right at the gates of sleep 😁
@@Ogaitnas900 ahh cool so I'm half way there I suppose aha its good to know!
Sleep paralysis and the shadow figure... That's one creepy dude 😬 it would be interesting to know what causes the shadow figure to show up, like the fear tiger.
I really enjoyed your Sleep Disruption series, so this video is quite of a welcome sight for me (Though I'm still wondering why they're on 2kliksphilip).
For some reason, it's really calming and satisfying to listen to You talking about the abstract world of dreams, and things associated with it
I went through a phase of dreaming in my minecraft worlds. That was pretty cool. I never have vivid enough dreams to get fine details, so the blockiness wasn't really discernible that I can recall.
The timing is kind of crazy because I just had a really long and kind of strange dream last night that I haven’t stopped thinking about since I woke up. Kind of funny to hear phillip talking about dreams now as well ahaha
watched this while cooking, great video for it because it really doesn't matter if you need to divert your attention for a bit
this is why i love this series
I have always felt like this but was never able to express this in words and never found someone who felt it in a similar way, you described it perfectly that the feeling that accompanies the dreams is extremely unique, it feels more real and immersive even though your brain knows it's not.
I have had some really wierd dreams that makes absolutely no sense. I have written down some of these just to read them later. What I have found out is that the dreams are kinda like stored in your brain's ram (temp storage) and as soon as you wake up you need to transfer this to your brain's HDD/SSD (permanent storage) by immediately going through the whole dream in your head or better by just writing them down somewhere (best way).
If you don't do this you forget most of the details and sometimes even the order of events. You can try this, it's really fun to read these after a few months/years.
Also there is a technique called Lucid Dreaming, you can also try going that rabbit hole but I personally have never tried it.
Just like you I have had this exam dream multiple times that I am going to fail in a school exam as I am not prepared, I have this type of dream in like every 3-6 months. Maybe this is because I was scared of failing a school exam even though I was good at academics or maybe this is due to the fact that I feel I am never prepared enough for anything. I feel like I am not scared of failing at anything now but maybe deep down I am still scared of failing, who knows?
i listened to you talking about dreams for 5 minutes, so i'll spend a few to give you my own thoughts on the matter.
I dont remember all my dreams, i dont know what i dreamt about this night, though i mostlikely did. I only remember 1 dream from the past week, and i just vaguely remember what a small section (10 seconds maybe?) of what it was about.
I know that nice feeling from a good dream every morning, like that i had experienced something i'd never forget if it actually happened, but within moments i start to forget everything about the dream. i might vaguely remember what happened, i may remember an important part, but very soon i pretty much forget everything that i had just dreamed about. Unless it's a really, really good dream, i never remember it for more than 3 minutes after i wake up. And i get a little sad every morning when i forget a good dream.
I find it kind of terrifying that i can forget something i thought was real in just moments. that my own brain deletes something i would want to remember. something that it had just experienced is being wiped away.
(let's get sidetracked) And speaking of forgetting, I find dementia horrifying. The thought of your real, true memories getting wiped out of your mind. And you likely wouldn't even know it was happening, because you couldnt remember anything. Your past as you experienced it being lost forever. and not just dementia, i really wish i could remember more things i experienced as a child.
(back to dreams) I have 2 dreams that have stuck with me. Not that i dream them often, just that i do remember them. And it isn't really dreams themselves, it's the feeling that i get from them. I barely even remember anything about those 2 dreams, they're really abstract. They're the only dreams i remember having more than once. And it's so exciting when i have one of those dreams. I know what dream i had just had and try my best every time to try to remember anything from them i can, but apart from a small vague detail, i forget everything. But the feeling that comes with them, It's one of the best feelings i've felt. And i coudln't describe it.
I remember having them when i was a young. I remember having one of those dreams once and i dont remember the dream itself, i remember the feeling it brought up and trying my best to rebember and re live it. The kind of sad thing is that i havent had any of these dreams in a long while. I had one a year or two ago and really wish it would happen again.
If anyone read this, spent a few minutes of your time to listen to me blabbling on about my dreams, thank you
been ages since ive had a dream. sadge.
I like this stuff more than most of your past stuff, Keep at it please.
I've got to say, I get the exact same type of dream about failing a course at the university, despite having graduated over a year ago. I also can't tell that it was a dream for a few minutes after waking up.. it's a strange feeling.
I had a dream once where i was in a rpg, with menus, loading, saving, different dialogue choices and events.
The only dreams that i seem to remember long term are the nightmares. The good ones are gone within an hour or two. The story, tone, plot and characters changing every couple of minutes to not get too boring.
I often remember a dream I had were I was watching a family. A mother and daughter going about their life. Eating toast and having coffee at a shop on a street I’ve never been on. They were quiet and seemed unhappy until the ghost of the father came and I could see them smile and talk to him. I remember the feeling of intense sadness I got from this dream. Something about it though is the same feeling a good story give.
i really love your videos about dreams, they're so interesting!!
I really enjoyed the 5 minute staring contest we had. Thank you.
this video is so acuurate, I have the same anxious dreams about school exams and stuff like that and I often dream about old classmates
I still get exam nightmares 8 years after finishing the Australian equivalent of A-Levels. There's always still one more to go...
I wish I remembered more of my dreams, I always remember waking up and remembering the dream, but not the dream itself.
Genuinely really love your videos
This is a great video! I feel like this is an incredibly interesting conversational piece, especially with your thoughts, so much so that I instinctively switched to discord and started looking for someone to talk to about this lol
I'm nearing the end of my second year of Uni and since I started, I've been getting recurring dreams of being back in high school.
Last night it was a double of being on a school trip with a bunch of people from my year, to then trying to infiltrate a parents evening event so I could find one of my old physics teachers to explain some maths that my tutor wasn't doing a good job of teaching me (which isn't even true, all of my tutors are great).
I've had multiple dreams where we all re-join as a year group to go on another South Africa trip (my high school had an almost two week long trip to there in February for 6th years), and I always remember boarding the plane and then getting to the hotel and it being a different establishment each time.
The best one I had was a couple weeks ago where, for some strange reason, everyone in my year group returned to high school for a month, with normal classes and everything. It was great being back in a room of people I knew and walking the halls of the building recognising the face of everyone that walked past me.
I really don't need to do any searching for a deeper meaning, because I clearly know how much I miss those 6 years of my life. I've made 2 friends at Uni, one of them in first year who then moved to a different uni at the start of second year. And the other I made at the same time as the first one left, as a result of befriending them during lockdown, I've seen them exactly once, all of our socialising has been done through Discord. I know it's my own fault for not making more friends, I've never been willing to talk to people unless it's absolutely necessary. But what I didn't realise at the time, is that high school allowed me to communicate with anyone regardless of whether or not I wanted to be friends with them, spending 7 hours a day in classes you eventually get know everyone no matter how self conscious you are.
I recognise the faces of my fellow students at uni but I am still yet to put any names to them, and I know it's my fault that I can't do that.
I just miss the 6 years worth of acquaintances I developed back then.
Having the same bed sheets as you makes the "In Bed With Phil" mood even more immersive
I *_LOVE_* dream videos!
It would be amazing if you would consider making a video about each of the interesting dreams that you have maybe?
i remember having a bad relationship with my dad a few years back (kinda still have) and i dreamt of him just suddenly dying one day, and i felt so bad cuz i never took the time to improve our relationship, i woke up crying. its the dream i remember the most, seeing this video made me reconsider about having a dream journal because there are some many interesting dreams i have already forgot. thanks philip.
