Lucid Dreams & Nightmares: Ever Dream This Man?
Added 2024-02-15 00:04:25 +0000 UTCFor thousands of years we’ve pondered the meaning of dreams. Dreams offer insight into our subconscious. Dreams help us process emotions and organize our memories.
Most of us live our waking lives giving a sort of performance. Whether through dishonesty, embarrassment, or simply by being polite, there are thoughts we do not share.**Dreams have intrigued us for thousands of years. They provide a peek into our subconscious. They aid in managing emotions and arranging our memories.
We often perform in our awake state. We might be dishonest, embarrassed, or just polite. Thus, we keep some thoughts to ourselves.** Dreams, on the other hand, offer a platform where these suppressed thoughts can freely roam. They are the uncensored version of our minds, a place where our deepest desires, fears, and secrets can come to light without the fear of judgement or consequences.
Dreams also serve as a mirror, reflecting our inner state of mind. They can hint at unresolved issues, unfulfilled desires, or even potential future scenarios. They can act as a guide, helping us navigate through the labyrinth of our thoughts and emotions.
Moreover, dreams can be a source of inspiration. Many artists, writers, and scientists have reported getting brilliant ideas from their dreams. They can stimulate our creativity, encourage problem-solving, and even help us prepare for future events.
In conclusion, dreams are not just random images that appear during sleep. They are a powerful tool that our mind uses to process information, manage emotions, and explore the infinite possibilities of our imagination. They are an essential part of our cognitive and emotional well-being.
While you sleep, your inhibitions disappear. And you’re left with the raw, unforgiving truth. The real you.
But dreams can be more than that.
Some claim dreams are the realm between ours and the spirit world. Some dreams can predict the future.
Studies have shown that dreams can be shared between people.
Lucid dreaming is when *you* – not your dreaming self, your conscious self - controls the dream. You are, literally, a God. The universe is your playground.
It’s exhilarating and powerful. But there is a dark side.
What if: while lucid dreaming, *you* weren’t in control of the dream? But, someone else was?
That’s no longer a dream, it’s a nightmare. And it’s no longer a playground – it’s a prison.
Every night, the lights go out, you close your eyes, and he’s waiting for you.

Who else thinks "this man" looks like Sheldon on big bang theory if you gave him huge brows?
Jo
2025-06-23 14:00:26 +0000 UTCI've found him! I've found "This Man" He is Donald Leroy Evans, a serial killer who unalived ~ 60 people.

2025-05-25 23:15:56 +0000 UTCWhy he looks like the guy from the big bang theory 🤔

2024-02-26 05:28:17 +0000 UTCExcellent episode! Have you seen this man? Not I but I definitely have had reoccurring dreams since I was a child with the same cast of characters. I wonder if they are out there in the universe somewhere?

2024-02-22 20:15:48 +0000 UTCHiya! I thought I was dreaming when I discovered that The Why Files "season 3" can we watched on Amazon Prime a few nights ago!
TheArchess
2024-02-21 17:48:16 +0000 UTCGood call! Might make for a good episode too, I don't think a lot of people ever heard of a tulpa.
Pickles on catz
2024-02-20 03:03:22 +0000 UTCisn't there something called a tulpa? i think it's the belief that if enough people believe some kind of imaginary or fake thing, it becomes real? would be pretty funny if this video helps some dream monster become "real"
evals
2024-02-19 22:48:31 +0000 UTCHow about an episode exploring connections with the ancient americans with ancient Egyptians, Sumerians, Butmirs, etc. I think it's interesting that different cultures worlds apart have artwork with people with elongated heads, same looking Gods, and similiar stories
Jerry Mitchell
2024-02-19 19:53:30 +0000 UTCI absolutely want to learn to lucid dream!
Dena Laura Shea
2024-02-19 08:01:34 +0000 UTCGreat episode.👍🏽👍🏽 It gives the hint of subliminal messaging has the ability to influence people. I remember back in the early 80s Coca Cola was doing that with their advertisements and they got caught.
Steve Wilcox
2024-02-19 01:32:01 +0000 UTCGreat job, Didnt feel bad when I never saw this guy.👍

2024-02-18 21:58:18 +0000 UTCNever dreamed of this man... I work with him.
Shanon Freeman
2024-02-18 15:01:41 +0000 UTCI'd love to see a "how to" video on lucid dreaming
Heather Lamb
2024-02-18 06:07:00 +0000 UTCAt first the subject wasn't a thriller (never had any other guy in my head before). But then you talked about 'this man'. I've been called 'that man'. Then you asked hecklefish if he always had to have the last word. I've been asked that (My friends call me 'Last Word Timmy'). Finally, who doesn't know and love Lynyrd Skynyrd (I was singing along Hecklefish). :) You guys really do a great job putting this together. Thanks!
Tim Murphy
2024-02-17 23:58:42 +0000 UTCIn person? So they could film it and insert Hecklefish making fun of you sleeping? I found a new nightmare!
Bosco Lemonzit
2024-02-17 23:18:32 +0000 UTCI like dogs. Dogs lay there, looking at you, thinking “play with me, pet me, walk me”. Cats lay there looking at you thinking “if I were big enough, you’d be dinner”.
Bosco Lemonzit
2024-02-17 23:09:29 +0000 UTCConsider Lucid Dreaming Intro video on your main channel. A 4 to 8 session mini-course (online or in person) on Lucid Dreaming could be offered as a separate product. Enjoyed this episode.
InSyder
2024-02-17 14:46:21 +0000 UTCI know they have cats, I've seen them many times in the background, but those kinds of "jokes" need to go. There are too many bad people in this world who actually do horrible stuff like what "Hecklefish" suggested. I'm already not the biggest fan of the character, Hecklefish, and "drowning cat" jokes make me dislike him even more. Hecklefish could be really funny, but he often misses the mark.
Susan H
2024-02-17 14:06:58 +0000 UTCThanks Mike, it was exactly what I needed, along with an early night to destress.
Susi Su
2024-02-17 13:52:10 +0000 UTCAJ is also a cat lover, he often mentions his "boys", but obviously Hecklefish isn't. I have two cats and love them more than life itself, and certainly more than people, but it is just a joke.
Susi Su
2024-02-17 13:51:35 +0000 UTCI've been on trazedone for insomnia for about 10 years and it causes vivid dreams. Now over the years I've learned to lucid dream and it's amazing almost like a dream come true I can do whatever I want. Lately I lost the ability somehow. No idea why it just kinda stopped. Anyway, I have recurring dreams about my 2 things. My old job as a cop and being involved in high risk situations with suspects. The other one I have is going back in time and trying to warn everyone what's going to happen in the future including bad things. Especially my first wife who died in a car crash. I try to warn her. Sometimes I think I'm crossing into a multiverse where maybe I did change some outcome. Anyhow my dreams are so vivid every night I keep a journal next to my bed so if I have a good story for a plot for a movie or something I write it down and the date. I even started writing a fictional vampire Type book based off one of my vivid dreams. 2 years and I'm still off and on working on it. Who knows. Anyway love the episode
Steven Chell
2024-02-17 08:16:23 +0000 UTCYes, teach us lucid dreaming please!!!
T-Bone J
2024-02-17 02:51:43 +0000 UTCCondolences on the loss, Susi. Hopefully a dose of the Fish, AJ and TWF brought a peaceful distraction.
MikeD
2024-02-17 01:57:05 +0000 UTCI believe the military stopped using it without admitting any guilt, but the circumstantial evidence indicates it can be a nasty drug. It may be that it pushed those who were particularly vunerable to mental illness over the edge. Amazing it can still be purchased.
MikeD
2024-02-17 01:49:30 +0000 UTCI love it when i do get into the lucid dreaming state. I have full epic stories play over time. If the storie is not finished i return to it the next time i go to sleep. I usualy feel incomplete till the end. Other times leaving the TV on while i sleep effect the premis of the dream. Then i just go with it till it is. Great show and never disappointing. Keep it up
Xig
2024-02-17 00:11:59 +0000 UTCYes! Please do an episode on lucid dreaming.
Rebecca Metzger
2024-02-16 23:02:19 +0000 UTCOMG yes AJ! Pease walk us through lucid dreaming!!
Jason Goode-Domingues
2024-02-16 22:18:58 +0000 UTCYou know honestly, when I saw the picture, I was OMG I saw so much about this storey I was not interested. But once again AJ and team expanded on the topic and made it deep and interesting. Shame on me lol. As always you make me walk away from your episodes with so much to think about and consider. Thank you so much for everyone's effort!
Al Klaus
2024-02-16 19:34:15 +0000 UTCI woke up too stressed to go back to sleep and this was on LMAO not joking, so I got an early start no wonder old people can get so much done. You just have to start the day at 5am
Bryan Smithers
2024-02-16 18:39:44 +0000 UTCwould love a tutorial from you on how to lucid dream
Mama J

2024-02-16 17:39:03 +0000 UTCThis episode is scary tbh
Riley Brooks
2024-02-16 16:39:03 +0000 UTCCheck out the stories of the dreams people would get from the malaria prevention drug Mefloquine (also known as Lariam) that the US military gave to troops going overseas in the '90s and 2000s. It caused permanent psychosis and anxiety as a side effect in multiple people and caused almost everyone who took it to have bizarre and often horrible dreams and nightmares. Apparently, the dreams and nightmares were the early warning signs of potential psychosis. If the drug was stopped soon enough, permanent damage could be prevented, but a lot of veterans have been left with severe problems as a result of this medication. The stories of the nightmares have a hallucinatory quality (search for Mefloquine dreams) and are absolutely horrifying to read about. Despite knowing this, the military continued to used it for years. The drug was also implicated in the case of Robert Bales, who killed 16 Afghans while taking the drug and was sentenced to life in a military prison. There are at least five other murders documented to be attributed to the medication, four from folders who killed their wives at Fort Bragg in 2002 and one which was a case of a man who took the drug before a trip to Kenya and killed his wife. The bad dreams became literal nightmares in some cases.

2024-02-16 14:59:16 +0000 UTCJust home from the funeral of a beautiful lady taken by cancer at 53 years old. Left a partner of 36 years and three kids, the youngest just 12. I really need this week's dose of the Fish and AJ to pick me up again.

2024-02-16 13:31:17 +0000 UTCwhy did E jump to J on the name contributers list??? and i was looking for just a bit of validation

2024-02-16 12:28:38 +0000 UTCThank you! I said that before a no one agreed lol
None Yourbiz
2024-02-16 12:04:29 +0000 UTCAnother inspired show! Thanks AJ! I have tried and failed to master the lucid dreaming technique, but every so often when I realize I’m lucid I can extend those moments. I can’t get consistent with the experience and would love to learn more.
David “Kiwi” Keller
2024-02-16 05:59:09 +0000 UTCI have been waiting so long for you to cover lucid dreaming. It is such an amazing topic. You nailed it!! Thank you!!
Frank
2024-02-16 04:19:48 +0000 UTCExcellent show. Been Lucid dreaming since 11 and it's helped me enormously over life. I don't ever recommend if you are lucid in a dream to 'let go' as very bad things can happen. Always stay in control when lucid. I highly recommend everyone to learn it and AJ., please, please, please teach everyone. They will all thank you (you to Hecklefish) a thousand times over. OK, time for bed now. (did I see that man - guess I'll find out tonight!)
Chris and Cindy Neutson
2024-02-16 04:16:00 +0000 UTCYes Lucid Please.... Great show as always.
Corey Lambert
2024-02-16 03:27:21 +0000 UTCIn all sincerity, I’m unsure if I’ve ever had a lucid. TWO always point out in mine. Tornadoes and Plane crashes, in that order. Tornadoes don’t cause much, planes typically are passenger. Afterwords always snows.
Trent dummy what else would ya call me.
2024-02-16 02:48:24 +0000 UTCThat was really interesting. No AF?🙁
D.Shepherd
2024-02-16 02:42:32 +0000 UTCThanks AJ, I’m so looking forward to going to sleep tonight! Yet another great episode…and yes to an episode/video on Lucid Dreaming!
Valerie Brooks
2024-02-16 02:37:55 +0000 UTCYes! Tell us the theory and method of learning lucid dreaming. As usual, excellent show. Thank you so much. Appreciate all your hard work.

2024-02-16 02:16:39 +0000 UTCdamn! got played. lol.

2024-02-16 02:03:22 +0000 UTCYou forgot about the movie Dreamscape.
Eric E Erickson
2024-02-16 01:37:55 +0000 UTCThere’s nothing funny about animal cruelty, Hecklefish
Jared Rasmussen
2024-02-16 01:02:02 +0000 UTCI realized today AJ has less wrinkles than me and I’m 37. What’s the secret? Filter? Botox? CIA special sauce?!
Ashley Roberts
2024-02-16 00:58:22 +0000 UTCI rarely have bad dreams these days. I recognize that it’s a dream while still dreaming and start controlling it. Normally my dreams are really fun or peaceful. I’ve also had dreams that come true. Typically it happens within 48 hours. I’ve dreamt of seeing and having conversations with loved ones who have passed and I have also dreamt about different lives in different timelines. Pretty cool stuff.

2024-02-16 00:46:20 +0000 UTCI remember when this story started floating around. A few years ago, a journalist friend of mine sent me an "Ever Dream This Man?" coffee mug.
Hank Meyer
2024-02-16 00:32:26 +0000 UTCAs a cat lover, I really wish you would leave out the disturbing cat jokes. You would never make jokes about drowning dogs in your videos, but for some reason, it's okay to do that for cats. :(

2024-02-16 00:18:14 +0000 UTCWait, I just realized who This Guy reminds me of - Burt Young. Come on, he's a dead ringer!
Levi Wallach
2024-02-15 23:46:51 +0000 UTCYes this was a change of pace, and as always, put together in a excellent manner!
John Edgeworth
2024-02-15 23:43:45 +0000 UTCI had lucid dreams when I was much younger. Had one more recently but it was extremely short and very little happened. It was more like I "woke up" inside an already proceeding dream, and soon after I REALLY woke up. I've heard that is one of the big issues with lucid dreams - the more aware you are and the more you try to manipulate things, the more unstable things get and you wake up.
Levi Wallach
2024-02-15 23:43:03 +0000 UTCDoctors and Scientists say they have no idea what dreams mean or why we dream at all. I have a theory however. If you examine your last dream you will find it is just things you experienced the previous day. It is information the Brain doesn't need to remember. The brain, just like a computer is clearing out its Cache Memory. From what I can gather, and I'm no scientist, the brain works with Billions of Neurons, joined together by pathways, these pathways, get larger and strengthen over time for information we need to remember, like your phone number for example. New memories are made by creating new connections between neurons, so during the night, while we dream, if the brain needs to remember something, it strengthens these pathways, and if it doesn't need to remember something, like the red car that drove past in the background while you were talking to someone, it drops the corresponding pathway, and you forget that useless piece of information. Well that's my theory anyway. Think about it and see what you think.

2024-02-15 23:38:51 +0000 UTCWhoa I wonder how many people got busted lying about seeing that man? What a fun story! Please do a video about lucid dreaming. That would be awesome! Thank you!!
AnnaYaelD
2024-02-15 23:31:10 +0000 UTCSo far I count 27 Yes, do a video on lucid dreaming and let's see, carry the one, and Zero for No, don't do a video on lucid dreaming. I vote YES, but do it during an AfterFiles then everyone will go to sleep and the Scooby Gang can go home early
Bosco Lemonzit
2024-02-15 23:29:15 +0000 UTCI seriously dreamt about this man 2 Days ago tirsdag 13.02. He Was chasing me, but walking very slow. I had sticky slow legs and could't run. I woke up right as he was about to stab me with a knife. In the dream i was told his name is Micheal Pilger. When i woke up I had a feeling this man is real. Which has never happend before. Like he entered mye dream. His face and name was very distinct. I started googling to see if anyone else had experienced this. When I saw this post and see his face i get fucking ptsd. To be fair he had slighty less hair, but the face is scary similar.
Henrik Jensen
2024-02-15 22:52:12 +0000 UTCIf he had a mustache, This Man looks eerily like my ex-husband. Now that is disturbing! You’d better teach us how to lucid dream so if he shows up (This Man not my ex) we can get rid of him even if he is a hoax. That would be a confusing and unsettling nightmare!
Joan Robinson
2024-02-15 22:43:09 +0000 UTC“This man” was and is dumb. Do a whole episode on lucid dreaming (or DMT breathing)…because this was dumbbbb man!
Brandon Robinson
2024-02-15 22:40:17 +0000 UTCI've had lucid dreams before and it's definitely awesome. Id love for you to make a video on how to lucid dream!! 🙂

2024-02-15 20:14:39 +0000 UTCAnother grate episode! And a nice change of pace.
Bryan Scott Hardie
2024-02-15 20:09:12 +0000 UTCYes it does look like Teller a little bit. I saw both of them on stage a while ago. I like both of them.
John DeSantis
2024-02-15 20:06:25 +0000 UTCI've had a somewhat recurring dream about a location that I've never been to before.. it has Asian inspired architecture, like Chinese, Japanese or even Philippines or Tibetan perhaps? Something like that... anyway, I can usually see these beautiful structures from far away like I'm on a cliff looking down across a valley, but they are situated near a beach. Any time in my dream I attempt to get closer to see what these buildings are, something prevents me from getting closer: either something IN the dream itself or I wake up. It's definitely intriguing, idk what to make of it.
Russ M
2024-02-15 20:03:11 +0000 UTCWe need the Lucid dreams episode!

Rebecca
2024-02-15 18:31:27 +0000 UTCGreat episode as always! For several years, lucid dreaming played a prominent role in my spiritual practice, and I did find it very helpful. But like anything else, it can be a useful tool until you no longer need the tool, at least as I experienced it. Beyond I found it to be yet another distraction, sort of like watching 'interactive tele' and potentially just as vacuous. In contrast to that, I just can't seem to get enough of The Why Files. Cheers! :-)
thormusique
2024-02-15 18:29:58 +0000 UTCAwesome episode and what a door you have opened! Another one knocked out of the park. This "resonates" with me (I crack myself up). Thanks, Team. See you tonight!

2024-02-15 18:06:29 +0000 UTCI had a dream last week that Taylor Swift was a reptilian who came out with a flat earth documentary and Travis Kelce got in my face yelling at me and I wet the bed.
Bosco Lemonzit
2024-02-15 17:28:07 +0000 UTCIt looks a little bit like Teller from Penn and Teller.
Scott Shields
2024-02-15 16:22:27 +0000 UTCPlease do an episode on lucid dreaming!
Hunter Radcliff
2024-02-15 15:13:26 +0000 UTCI also support the notion of an episode on lucid dreaming.
Keri Holmes Rojas
2024-02-15 13:59:19 +0000 UTCPlease do cover the lucid dream topic. I was taught to do this by a counselor as a teen to deal with nightmares, but I have lost the ability as I have gotten older. I feel that I was mentally sharper when i could do this. I would love to be able to do this again.

2024-02-15 13:40:56 +0000 UTCYou just have to do reality checks 3-4 times a day (I look to my hands and count and inspect my fingers 1-2-3-4-5, are there more, is my hand/fingers bending? and try to start to fly like I do in dreams ("innerself jumps") to test if I'm dreaming). Do it for about 2 weeks and you start doing it also while your asleep. Then when you realize that you're in a dream your dream become lucid. Easy BUT also expect to getting aware of things like sleep paralysis (shadowman incoming) and it's exhausting in the long run

2024-02-15 12:54:07 +0000 UTCI hate not being able to wake up or getting trapped in "stacked" false awakenings :( And if a dream is good it's hard to not waking up even with hand rubbing or other dreamsense tricks 😒
Christian Hetzel 😽
2024-02-15 12:53:13 +0000 UTCDoes it also has negative sides for you? If I do my reality checks and dream more often lucid, dreams aren't as restful as if I don't dream lucid. Also now I'm often aware of my sleep paralysis and often get stuck in "stacked" false awakenings :( That's why I don't do/try it as much as I did.

2024-02-15 12:24:45 +0000 UTCI was had a dream about Gillian Anderson (not like that ) and when i woke all i can say it was the feeling of lose like a break up with someone you held so close

2024-02-15 11:15:55 +0000 UTC🧡 loved this... the alien stories are good, but yall are so much more than that. Thank you giving me a reason to get excited for Thursdays and a community my guppy and I adore. - Avery's Mom
Avery's Mom
2024-02-15 11:05:36 +0000 UTCHey Aj, I am a lucid dreamer. Have been for around 40 years... I can control around 90-95% of all my dreams. You have to train your brain to notice out of place details, once you know your dreaming... Then it is all yours... Most of the time I am myself in dreams, sometimes I am a character in another body. Sometimes dreams are so good that you just want them to keep going. I would love to see more on this topic myself.

Julia Fox
2024-02-15 08:50:14 +0000 UTCBtw, I wouldn’t exactly call them “the media”. Hahaha. They are a pay for tv cable channel! Hahaha But let’s also hear about lucid dreams AJ! I usually wake up about the time I get Sofia Viagra down to … the point where I’m a couple of hooks & a side from being able to sing her the happy birthday song…(Hecklefish — that means just before getting her nekkid!) GREAT JOB THIS WEEK! Got my (2) t shirt this week & the autographed photos of some great looking guy…. And a human was with him. Try the veal, not the fish.

Shirley Connellan
2024-02-15 08:25:47 +0000 UTCMan, this is unsettlingly scary. I sure hope I don't dream about him. LOL.
Steven Shi
2024-02-15 08:24:00 +0000 UTCLove the dream episodes keep up the good work! I found it easiest to lucid dream by doing a dream diary to help remember my dreams and checking a clock or my watch periodically throughout the day, (clocks never run properly in dreams, either too fast or too slow).

None Yourbiz
2024-02-15 04:10:56 +0000 UTCYes to the lucid dreaming video! Great episode. Now “this man’s” face is going to haunt me. At least I have my Hecklefish plush to protect me. Ha! Or maybe he’ll just wake me from that nightmare with his heckling. 😜
RoLo
2024-02-15 03:56:17 +0000 UTCdoes anyone know the origin of the hand gestures a.j. does at the end of the episodes? and absolutely yes to a lucid dreaming episode. it sounds like fun.

Deirdre a greene
2024-02-15 03:45:35 +0000 UTCI haven't even watched yet and I know I'm gonna LOOOOOOVE this one! I've been lucid dreaming since I was a kid and got tired of having nightmares so i figured out how to take control and I'm still learning how to navigate that world. Also I do remember 1 guy who had his wife schedule a doctors appt for him the morning of 9/11 does that count? And YES do the video on lucid dreaming please!! Are there any tips to access the willpower required to to be able to change your dreams with specific people or events as you described?
Daniel James
2024-02-15 03:29:33 +0000 UTCI would love an episode on lucid dreaming. This was another great episode and I particularly enjoyed that there was a lot more Hecklefish interaction. He really brought his A game.

Humane Dragon
2024-02-15 03:07:07 +0000 UTCYes to an episode or special episode on lucid dreaming. I’m lucky enough to remember quite a few of my dreams. I wake up wondering what in the world is going on in my head, concerning lol. The looks I get when I repeat them to people 🤣 Dude totally looked like a creepy version of Sheldon from Big Bang Theory.

Quanderhorn
2024-02-15 02:12:58 +0000 UTCProbably not. mom didn't like her very much but left going to her house at our own judgement. "Damn Hippy". She was a strange lady with "magic" crystals and incense laying around but fun to talk to. Very dramatic.

Jamie Johnson
2024-02-15 01:52:54 +0000 UTCthey must be turning in their graves hearing Hecklefish cover Freebird. by the way, if you've never seen it, search Youtube for Oakland Freebird live 1977. They used AI to clear up the filming and it's amazing.

2024-02-15 01:44:35 +0000 UTCROFL, a hoax, that was a super twist. I was thinking the distance between the bottom of his nose and the top of his upper lips seems a bit off. He has small ears . One last thing, since I am a Jazz musician I notice the corners of his embouchure go back too far for someone that isn’t playing a horn. Just my 2 cents.
Matthew Hyland

Sam Zpen
2024-02-15 01:39:32 +0000 UTCI would love to see the video on lucid dreaming! I used to have some really twisted dreams, even dreamt Peter Seller's death about a month before he actually died (I was a huge fan, even as a child). Years ago, a former girlfriend told me about a recurring dream she had where she met aliens on an alien planet. Good stuff. Keep it up my friends, I look forward to every episode!
Pete Mitchell
2024-02-15 01:39:19 +0000 UTCLucid dreaming is amazing. Whenever I have one I can always see amazing detail. The texture of bricks on buildings, dirt on windows and even dust. I can fly and feel the wind blowing over my body.

2024-02-15 01:11:12 +0000 UTCHey if y'all want to learn to lucid dream, there's this channel called Explore Lucid Dreaming. It's the best one out there and it's all free on YouTube Edit: For the time being, this is the best channel, for now, until The Why Files makes an episode on lucid dreaming. Mark my words...
Sam Zpen
2024-02-15 01:08:30 +0000 UTCGreat episode! I'm not gonna be happy if I dream of this fella tonight. 🤣 I am very thankful my dreams are not predictive... we should all be thankful. 😉 And hell yes to the lucid dream tutorial!!

Brennen lindgren
2024-02-15 00:50:04 +0000 UTCWhen I was a kid a family member said she kept having dreams she was going to die. I told my mom about it and she said let it go. It come true. She died in her 90's, over 50 years later. People put too much thought in this predictive garbage. Freud was a freak current shrinks should only as a reference of what not to do.
Mustangman
2024-02-15 00:47:27 +0000 UTCI love dreaming. I had a strange recurring dream when I was a kid. Every night I'd be running out of a cave and get burned by a fire-breathing dragon... until I made it out one night. That went on for weeks and then it has never returned. Please teach us your Lucid ways, Master. Oh, aside from the unfortunate joke about the cats (I understand it is a joke), Heckle was on point. Great work, as always.

2024-02-15 00:37:11 +0000 UTCAj I absolutely love how you tell the story and the myth then you tell the truth about the story. You are one of if not the best. I cant wait to every episode. I have noticed that you tube is not only hiding some of your shows but I have also noticed. I have watched every episode I can find but I like to watch your shows 1 or 2 times and I always give a thumbs up but when I go back to one I watch and they take thumbs get taken off. Keep up the great work. Best on you tube!!

Bad-Haggis
2024-02-15 00:30:26 +0000 UTCI never really recall faces, but the actions they perform. For instance, I’ve had a nightmare of seeing nukes coming down on me and my family, so much emotion that my last moments were of comforting my wife and kids as best I could in those last final moments. The next thing I recall is my own consciousness being awake, then seeing the remnants of the world I used to know, being rebuilt, piece by piece, until the entire civilization is created by a creator, I can only describe as God. It’s chaotic as I’m desperately trying to find my family, as I start asking around to anyone willing to listen. There is this kind woman who seems to know everything, where to direct people, she sends me away to where to look, and I see my a few of my kids, I’m so over joyed but more grateful than ever at having this kind woman give herself to my aid, I can only describe a feeling of wanting to worship her and thank God there is a true angel in our midst. I’m not angry or sad, as I come to realize I’ve been vaporized and most likely in a world created for us, until things get sorted out. I’ve no fear as I know I’ll find the rest of my family soon…
