are you a dreamer?

waking life are you a dreamer?

[@carsonkent]

Roy Orbison - In Dreams - in case you're wondering. Great song, great movie, Epic Scene!!!

[@NobleNemesis]

Not too sure why people feel the urge to put sound over all these Waking Life clips, they're already good enough.

[@darling_danke_schoen]

Sometimes because of legal issues, they have to. The only way it can stay up sometimes is to alter it somehow

[@NobleNemesis]

Hm, now that's something I was not aware of, learn something everyday! :P

[@brocowsci]

I thinks its a ln actual grand addition to this clip

[@pinkyluv310]

GAH! I looove this film. I discovered it in the most peculiar way. Public Television. I was channel surfing and this jem caught my eye and kept it. I've loved it ever since. xx

[@apricotsandpeonies]

Best movie I ever saw. You can't understand life if you haven't seen Waking Life.

[@vmonroe1741]

This is absolutely the most exiting time we could possibly be alive.

[@vmonroe1741]

If we all teach it then we'll all remember it exists

[@danieluzoma899]

What a difference 4 years makes...I feel like now is the most exciting time to be alive

[@thebossman80s]

Daniel Uzoma it certainly is

[@amberf3044]

what a 6 year difference makes

[@Terra101]

Surely

[@dave2daresqu]

definetly a good lesson to learn from this...."so whatever you do ....dont be bored"

[@nattadub]

This scene brought me to joyous tears~keep dreaming my people~change will happen~WE ARE THE 99%!!!

[@darthjoe94]

I just wanna go and change the world after watching that clip... but then realize I'm only dreaming and go back to bed.

[@Wuxos31]

Last night I watched full movie, went to sleep, now going to work in morning I randomly watched this episode from movie. Exactly what I needed :) BE PRESENT :)

[@glypheye]

I'm a dreamer :) Was lucid last night....and flying :D

[@dakotabaeta4304]

porbably the most under rated scene in the movie. its great

[@cloud0123]

@koryan waking life...so true.....this is the most excitin time we could be living in people. Remember, as souls we descend into worlds like this to learn, to experience, to forget...and right now, is the time where all of this comes to a culmination.

[@KidOnTheRiot]

well I think the song gives the scene a groovy feeling, typical from dreams, that fits really well... also it is a very good song with amazing references, like when they sing it in Blue Velvet... I think it's been chosen for a reason and I do like it. You guys should try to open your mind a bit

[@CharlieTooHuman]

Agreed! It goes really well with the scene. Also, it was used in Blue Velvet which is one of my favorite movies of all time.

[@jklvx4033]

Is is Roy Orbison?

[@arzyTUBE]

nice touch with the background music

[@mscalco1]

this is the most exciting time to live considering things are just starting to get real. -interesting.

[@vicolinah]

welcome! I checked your channel... it's unbelievable, you're so gifted, and yet so young.

[@Kommaseir]

I thought the music was right on...Roy Orbison's song Dreams (I think that's the name of the song) is one of his best and it adds to this clip...it doesn't take away from it, IMO.

[@81pipe]

So lovely and so true.

[@Raptik666]

Agreed. I was really confused when I started hearing it until I realized that somebody put music to this scene for some reason. It was rather distracting, but oh well.

[@MyFrostii]

This is my favourite scene from the whole movie, mostly because of the line he says at the end.

[@sugarfreelemonade]

Great, now I have to watch this movie again.

[@sunz600]

I guess cos the song is called "In Dreams". I think it ties in really well with this scene.

[@theQuestion626]

i agree that the feeling of the brunt of injustice or personal pain can be felt across every sociological and economic spectrum. And I agree that the action taken to negate and overcome such hardships is the most important aspect. looking back on my comment, I realize (shamefully) how ignorant and narrow-minded it was. Everyone, in some way shape and form, has the potential to fix their position in life. The true tragedy is that I fear few will realize their potential.

[@ShepherdInTheFlock]

@muzik313 hallucination is a tricky word just because it happens in your mind and other people around you cant see it, doesnt mean your not there or that it is not real. Your brain is a very powerfull thing, but the universe or consiousness if you will which created it is even more powerfull and bizzare to our concepts. You cant see the 4th dimention but it doesnt mean it doesnt exist or that we dont exist within it or that other things may not exist in a wakeing state there even.

[@GusCraigengower]

to me, this is the most substantial scene in waking life. It's the film's most blatant *possible* nod to the idea of 'shared dreaming' or of a (or more) commonly shared dream plane(s). theoretically, the character who asks 'are you a dreamer' can either be: 1) a 'dream character' manifestation of the main character's conscience; or 2) a dreamer who crossed main char's dreampath. the fading of the main char's dream body offers a rather subtle suggestion- who's the 'character' in whose dream?

[@801BOI]

[@JudyFightsBack]

I watched this for an hour and had an our of body experience.

[@forerunner06]

on of my fav scenes

[@DoubleBassAlejo]

@Llythe wow, do you have any of your notes from that class? can you upload them with a scanner somewhere? I'd love to read your teacher's ideas on the film

[@vladdrac88]

I'll agree with this notion as part of a sense of security. It happened in a few cultures previous...if you were hurt and could not hunt or bring in your own harvest your 'people' would pitch in until. you were well enough. But I don't think anyone should have the right to live off the labour of others......

[@ShepherdInTheFlock]

@muzik313 Just like quite alot of people say, it may be that the human brain works just like a radio which is tuned in to a certain station....even though other stations are flowing all around it.....while tuned to a certain frequency it can only pick up that frequency. So the reality we see therough our senses is just the reality we are tuned into.

[@Wib0]

Wtf.. Why the song? Completely fucks up the monologue..

[@RoboSlickProductions]

blue velvet crossover

[@aalexajeann]

I think that a lot of times, people forget that he is dreaming. And when you're dreaming, things like this are just acceptable.

[@jdogsful]

I'm a dreamer.. But my dream keeps becoming my nightmare.

[@heatherrachelle9358]

If your in 2020 watching this what's poppin

[@vladdrac88]

I believe that 'intelligent technological species' have a great and specific "ecological purpose" and that "ecological purpose" is the preservation of the biosphere and its habitat, when the native planet and star are no longer able to do so. I believe that this function will come to be viewed as our work. I believe that most humans will quite willingly contribute some small portions of their time to maintain the system with the rest of their time dedicated to anything they might choose to do.

[@noahgrossmangrossman4082]

This song may not be in the movie, but its perfect for this scene.

[@inventwizkid]

Im certain you mean Never Ending Journeys, You can be interconnected, but to achieve singularity you must endveaor 'experience', eons of past times. A dreamer has to understand the human condition, 'ITS' own condition, To recoginze that this 'shell' is a 'interface', capacity to no restriction only limited by miscomphrension and fear of growth. What is 'unknown' is first 'cause' to 'disattachment' from maintaining 'balance'= peace. Namaste.

[@adsasfd]

I suppose, but when you're down in the dumps a little bit of sarcasm can get you through the day.

[@misterysylver]

Culture in Decline with Peter Joseph is pretty good too.

[@ShepherdInTheFlock]

@JudyFightsBack sounds intresting i get the concept....ive had times when ive instantly follen from a wake state into a dream state but i havent had a out of body exsperience in these but i can understand the concept

[@aleisha3]

It makes me want to cry kind of

[@S_UC60]

Roy Orbison - in dreams

[@misterysylver]

Right on, brother.

[@sociallogie]

A candy colored clown? WOWOWWW Blue Velvet came into my mind

[@ShepherdInTheFlock]

@muzik313 why do you not believe a out of body exsperience is possible if you have never had one?

[@MyFrostii]

Also, the film could have been portraying the dreamer character as how we perceive him, when in his dream reality he could be something completely different, with different experiences than what we see. What would make an AMAZING sequel to this is if they had it be something like a totally different movie, but we then find out that it's this exact same sequence just from a different perception of the main character's. Talk about mind-screw!

[@Zisaar]

dreamin is the fantasy, explore everything! dont avoid dreamin!!

[@comino3]

gran film,grandes dialogos, grande waking life!

[@believers2012]

i'm trying to learn how to dream. i only was concious for about 5 times but i could do whatever i wanted.iit was really cool.can you help me get better?

[@ShepherdInTheFlock]

@muzik313 In a real out of body exsperience your mind i believe is no longer completly restricted to that of the body and which is why while haveing exsperiences with DMT i have "felt" and "known" things that i never knew possible.....the only problem being that as soon as you return to the body....the brain and 5 senses can not process or relate to these things so most stuff is forgoten or wade away.....only being left with the knowledge of there being such knowledge

[@Searcher691]

@Lyosabizarre en blokbuster mexico se puede encargar o compara en linea. lo dificil es encontrarla doblada al español, aunque ha recibido críticas, se explican muchas cuestiones filosóficas y algo se perderá en la taducción para q se tenga esa opinion en los foros sobre el doblaje de esa película, yo la vi en español porque la bajé de internet y si así me gustó muchísimo pues habría que verla subtitulada ¿porque no? y comparar. toda la peli un 10, EXCELENTE.

[@vladdrac88]

@MrSebastianVoda One problem for the ruling elite: A half century of war has created all these veterans whose fear of death does not work very well. It is way better to dream than worry about dying, which in any case is unavoidable. Call it 'The Wild Bunch Syndrome' :) I for one intend to keep dreaming. :) Thank you for the encouragement. :)

[@AmparoVeraGrijalba]

Si, soy una soñadora, sueño con la realidad, algún día espero despertarme en ella...

[@c.trauffler5789]

comentario precioso

[@vladdrac88]

Destruction of religion as is, I agree entirely. I have no problem with religion as long as it is not used to foment war or the abuse of 'others' which is, unfortunately, the case with most today, including "Christianity".

[@JudyFightsBack]

@ShepherdInTheFlock wiki says "WILD occurs when the dreamer goes from a normal waking state directly into a dream state, with no apparent lapse in consciousness" while it's true that is what happened, I was still exactly where i was when it happened-I didn't go into a dream, I was where I was, its too long to explain in this post!

[@apricotsandpeonies]

Ma partie préférée du film!

[@aladinthemonkey]

This scene is very true. Society just keeps getting faster and faster. Why can't people take the time to just slow down, seriously, everybody's losing sleep. And as everybody's losing sleep their dreams at night are becoming bland and less vivid. As that happens people are losing their ability to even remember what they dreamed about. What's the point of even dreaming if you're not gonna remember it? What's the point of sleeping if you're not gonna dream? People are too stressed these days.

[@Lyosabizarre]

Muchisimas gracias por subirla..Donde puedo conseguir la pelicula entera??subtitulada

[@aubekin]

I think I'm awake at a dream

[@vicolinah]

The song is In Dreams, by Roy Orbison. =)

[@aleisha3]

It makes me want to cry kinda

[@jbswcacmbc]

Thank you very much, I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

[@krliiitoos]

I think that every intelligent and sensible guy suffer too, in a certain way. I agree with you when you say that people have less chance than other people (you meant that don't you?) But don't forget that certain people, even if they are wealthier, or luckier or whatever, can feel injustice and try to make, with their own possibilities, the world a better place. In fact the important thing is ACTION, I don't know if you got me! Carlos from Belgium

[@krliiitoos]

Glad you changed your point of view in a positive way! That's what I call intelligence! See you!

[@picklepirate89]

Why add music to the background of this?

[@OuroborosChoked]

Because the possibility of just _one_ copyright strike wasn't enough for Mr. Daredevil here...

[@CharlieTooHuman]

I actually like the song, it goes surprisingly well with what is being said... Also, Blue Velvet anyone?

[@Unconfirmed_rumor]

Why would you go out of your way to replace the original score with this?

[@9TayldFox]

a very good clip. that also opens up a question for everyone. Is dreaming dying? -greg

[@vladdrac88]

:) I have really crazy dream: A world without war where everybody has a secure job and domicile. Worse yet I'm certain it could be if the ones with the money had the talent and the "work ethic" rather than the ethics of cannibals.

[@IrerishIsh]

All day dreamer

[@Necumambo]

unfortunately there is no place for us dreamers in this world.

[@meissnerflux]

This was so true in 2001

[@TFrills]

How about a future where no one ever again has to live trapped inside a body? Where we can exist collaboratively as one unity of self sustaining consciousness. Even if everyone has a stable job and money and no war we will still be plagued by evil and misery, it is inevitable as long as we are trapped here.

[@Bastianbeast]

hello, this movie is fantastic. talks about lucid dreams. speaks about the field of state and system of laws and private corporations. everything is an illusion, we are just levels of consciousness looking to evolution! there, and I do not use drugs!!

[@jaggerrichards7722]

Actually, money is the problem not who owns it. Wars, Drugs, Child abuse, Human Traffick, Pollution out of control and many other situations that affects our planet and our civilization are caused by money. The answer of the rich and powerful people is "Because I can purchase it" Howerver, great mvie.

[@jbswcacmbc]

Thanks :)

[@MyFrostii]

"What is so different between the 'intelligent' self-conscious dreamer and the monotonous dead 'manifestation' of conscious?" There is no difference, the intelligent self-conscious dreamer is manifested and for the monotonous manifestation to exist, it must not be 'dead' in that sense because it would cease to exist and be nothing rather than a monotonous manifestation. Intelligent is also only one of many types of dreamer, so in a sense a dreamer who is only intelligent is also monotonous.

[@ertzuiop123]

Someone has been reading his Castaneda.

[@gumdrops27]

Where can I find the whole movie if there is one

[@mimbs]

Why does Roy Orbison need to be in this clip? An explanation would be great thanks.

[@GusCraigengower]

but the bigger question that this scene in this film (and the whole film in general) invokes is.... what's the difference between a 'dream character' and us? if our dream feet in our dream shoes & our dream body is but a caricature of ourselves, then what is so different between the 'intelligent' self-conscious dreamer & the monotonous dead 'manifestation of [whose?] conscience'?

[@vladdrac88]

Agreed :)

[@willwisdom1942]

RoccoSturm, could you repost this without the song in the background? that'd be cool. thanks

[@OriginalSliz]

its every man for himself. but thats ok. we have to learn to love ourselfs to give love... but this is the tricky part. we dont even know who we are and what we really want to be like. what makes me really happy ? ... think about it

[@jbswcacmbc]

What's the song playing in this?

[@JudyFightsBack]

@muzik313 Im taking it that you've never had one then?

[@learnhappynow]

someone knows the title of the song ??? LOT OF TIMES i searched "i close my eyes and i'm with you" on search engines and web but nevere found out nothing :( thank :)

[@wademurphy1713]

In Dreams by Roy Orbison

[@DomSezXL]

Does anyone have the clip where the film tells you how to check if you're dreaming (look at your watch), please?

[@vladdrac88]

Things might get very strange in this conversation: I believe that "consciousness" did not always exist in the universe but, at some point in infinite time, 'happened' quite by chance and commenced its own 'evolution'...learning over time what IT liked or did not like, what was 'good' and what was 'evil'. Once it experienced "Love", there was no stopping IT. Perhaps IT feels some guilt for not being able to stop all the misery and suffering sooner. Is a brutalised child "bad"?

Destruction of religion would also really help in removing war and making everybody equal. People would start to actually give a shit about other people for good reasons. We could have communities of people who do good shit for an hour a couple times a week instead of communities of people who sing to God for an hour a couple times a week. Without religion, people would understand an importance of continuing the humans instead of hoping for Armageddon.
