Until you lie in bed eating a cheesecake and keep almost falling asleep, then jerking awake as the cold cheesecake hits your arm. Kind of detracts from a bit of the "ooh maybe" element of hypnopompic▪︎ jerks being caused by dream-spiders. Its not like one of them is watching me with the cheesecake and going "now is the time for me to fold my brain cells away.." and then failing, only to try again 4 times in a row with the exact same result.

[@merikmalhads1676]

Hey, bachelors of biochemistry here. You know how proteins are made out of "amino acids?" The amine group is a nitrogen with 2-3 hydrogens (positively charged in acidic solutions) and the acid side is a carboxylic acid a carbon double bonded to one oxygen and singly bonded to one which has 1 or 0 hydrogen atoms (negatively charged in basic solutions). Normally amino acids attach their amino groups to the preceding amino acid's carboxylic side and it is convention to read amino acids starting at the amino or N terminus (N for nitrogen) and read them until the C terminus (for carbon). If this anomaly has no C terminus that means it could go on forever.... strange Edited Addendum: What it appears is going on here is that the SCP 3966-A and SCP 3966-B are web proteins with tertiary structures folded in 4 spacial dimensions. Normally, our proteins first fold into secondary structures largely consisting of alpha helixes and beta-pleated sheets (google has some good images if you are curious about the shapes) after which, through a process we do not fully understand these sections will be folded like origami into what we call tertiary structures [we understand the basic physics but the process is so advanced that our fold prediction programs are often horribly wrong about the final shape]. If the protein is designed to bind with another partner (like the hemoglobin protein which requires 2 alpha hemoglobins and 2 beta hemoglobins in a tetramer) then it will finally fold into a quaternary structure which is sometimes "glued" together with disulfide bonds. What this forth dimensional spiderweb appears to be made of is a 4D folded alpha protein (SCP 3966-A) and a 3D folded beta protein (SCP 3966-B) both connected to each other in a quaternary structure. Normally, I would call it a dimer as it appears to have 2 main proteins but since the protein appears to be 4 dimensional there may be more proteins we simply are unable to see. Ultimately, there is a 4D species of spider that likes to web up parts of our brain for some reason and we can't dodge them. I hope you like my over-explanation of this SCP, guess I'm just bored

I love when someone manages to take abstract sci-fi concepts that we have no idea how it would actually work and apply extreme science to it. And now it's a creepy story on the internet. "How would a 4th dimensional creature interact with 3d beings?" "Biology that can transfer material through 3d amino acids that fold into 4d space" Like it's brilliant. My brain, instead of 'hurting' like high-concepts can do sometimes, finds joy in this idea. Its so complex, yet in an abstract way so simple.

So then the reason the Doctor, the Assistant, and the D-Class were being so heavily affected wasn't an infection, but just physical proximity to the samples and expirements, since said samples and expirements were basically tugging on the webs, thus drawing the spiders' attention. So the good news is that physical distance and time are all it should take for them to get back to normal.

[@brandthacker8913]

I surprised nobody else has talked about the banana spiders anymore. I was confused initially why they were finally able to sleep in the Banna Spiders containment chamber but it’s cause they can catch 4th Dimensional beings and the 4D spiders were scared. Also I thought it was oddly and funnily wholesome that he brought the DClass in to enjoy the serenity finally.

[@danebartlett3466]

Physical Distance would be difficult to measure here, since our 3D world is a manifold in (at least) 4-dimensional space. So it would depend on the manifold's shape itself as to the proximity of the 4D spider. Think a 2D piece of paper crumpled into a 3D ball (it's manifold in 3 dimensional space), where 2 points of the paper that are "far away" when laid out flat can be close together in 3 dimensions.

i like the parallel to the dream spider in native folklore. to save humans from horrible dreams it weaved a web over their heads to catch the nightmares. natives emulate this by making dream catchers. so the banana spiders scp was doing the same thing, i think, but in a 4th dimension sense instead of dreams. also tesseracts

[@haphazardlark1502]

I was wondering what on earth the sleeping in the spider room thing was about.

[@DrakeOola]

@@haphazardlark1502 Nothing to do with dreamcatchers. The room of spiders he slept in is another scp. Those spiders can make webs that can interact with other dimensions so they're able to catch otherworldly beings. The spiders that are interrupting our dreams are doing so because they're feeding on our brains and our body wakes us up to prevent it. We can't do anything about it because they aren't physically in our 3 dimensional space but the webs from the other spiders can tho I'm not really sure how waking up prevents them from eating us. It's not really stated if those webs capture the other spiders and they starve to death or if it just scares them away as some territorial thing. It's a cool interaction between two different scps that are both spiders, one is otherworldly and eats your brains and the other eats the otherworldly spiders that we otherwise cant touch. Ironic that the solution to spiders is more spiders...

Then you just let your brain relax, get some morning coffee, all of that info swirling in your head, tired from the hard work and countless failures.

Do you guys work-out? I remember having the exact same thing back when I ate alot of bread/pasta/potatoes(heavy carbs) and I didnt work-out. After I stopped eating that, and started working out, it immediately ceased.

[@kagehikari4281]

@@Jack-yq6ui Im just getting over a cold and got a cough that I get about every time at this year. I have a sensitive gag reflex or stumic? (not related to swallowing food, idk, its wierd) so coughing easily triggers it. x_x Im not a heavy carb eater so I dont think thats it, but thanks, will have to keep that in mind

[@lastofthe4horsemen279]

hey me too

[@finallyimginger3223]

I’m more terrified of “the head” guy than the 4th dimensional spiders

[@NoNumbersAfterName]

Here's where The Head comes from: dc.fandom.com/wiki/Roger_Cliff_(Enigma)

[@undeadprinceofchaos3731]

Eight legged horrors above are world. Feeding on our minds, preying on us while we dream. A horror that we can only escape from when we’re outside of our nocturnal haven.

[@gorblin70]

“Nocturnal haven” really bruh

[@coleozaeta6344]

You should’ve used “our” every time, no “are”. One lame prince of chaos. And yeah, nocturnal haven is cringe

[@HogW1ld385]

I jerk awake usually 2-3 times a night. Doctors can’t explain why and pills don’t help me fall asleep only make me sleep longer in the morning. So thank you so much for this one.

[@swine13]

Why? Did it fix the problem?

[@franknbeans1176]

Damn, Exploring did some extra hours

[@britishcig5462]

This one really freaks me out cuz i get these hypnic jerks ALL THE TIME irl, especially ever since i got sober 3 years ago, and i also have really bad nightmares a lot so the more i listen to this entry the more im like "nope nope nope fuck that shit"

[@UCmDBecUtbSafffpMEN3iscA]

Same, I commonly encounter hypnic jerks whenever I feel asleep, then suddenly waking up, I was surprised this kind of thing turned into SCP, which was amazing lmao

[@jaytea4390]

listening to this after finishing a Macbeth audiodrama: "Methought I heard a voice cry, “Sleep no more! Macbeth does murder sleep”-the innocent sleep, Sleep that knits up the raveled sleave of care, The death of each day’s life, sore labor’s bath, Balm of hurt minds, great nature’s second course, Chief nourisher in life’s feast."

[@cesarvictoriano8072]

There are two videos I look forward to you eventually covering. One covering the Department of Abnormalities, and the one covering the SCP I’m writing.

[@graygeno6308]

This is the only KZbinr where I'm lime "Thank you for uploading late at night"

[@matthewlong7547]

"SPIDER! SPIDER! SPIDER!' Was Patrick having a hypnic jerk?

[@coleozaeta6344]

They were trying to take his box

[@Styrelse]

Yeah a TYPICAL person sleeps for hours... Like Really imagine sleeping lmao

[@rollochairbreaker230]

What is this "sleep" you speak of?

[@seangoolsby3898]

Dude! I read this one years ago and it's been a favorite ever since, but nobody ever talks about it. Thanks for covering this one.

[@Riel_Rami]

Now time for my nightly SCP bedtime story. 😴 And it's about sleep too.

[@bambarby]

I fucking love creative SCPs like this

[@nobodyyouknow1065]

A small but crucial bit of praise: thank you for not having the last word in this video (or any other I can think of) be something like “right?” I can’t imagine something more trite and hacky than that. All I ask is that you just keep it up.

[@LaylaVaughan]

[nervous laughter] I experience the symptoms of this SCP... bad dreams, or just bizarre ones. Often start to fall asleep, and jerk awake sometimes hearing a thud or a clash or a pop as I startle awake

[@ElEscolta]

"Fantasy landscape to take your mind off the creepy SCP" But what else would we be here to listen you talk about the horrors of the foundation at 3am in the morning!?

[@EnderCorePL]

If I'll ever have a kid and they'd ask me about why they sometimes feel like they're tripping when falling asleep, I'll just casually reply "Oh, it's just 4-dimentional spiders trying to suck out your brain"

[@comradecameron3726]

Me at 2 AM: I really need to sleep. Me at time of upload: Nevermind, twenty more minutes won't hurt. Me at end of video: You know what? I don't need sleep.

[@snorgonofborkkad]

Never: Comment Like: This

[@comradecameron3726]

SnorgonOfBorkkad would it be so difficult to just leave me alone. Would it be so difficult to just write nothing. You write words but change nothing. So keep doing just that.

[@sirgideonofnir6840]

Its cool that our bodies formed a natural response to it, usually anomalies are so out of touch that we have no hope. But our bodies have a passive defense against it.

[@uhh5905]

0:10 what sleep you assume I sleep

[@Butterzzzz]

These are the best SCPs taking something easily relatable and making it strange

[@RAMZAVFX]

Watching an scp video when I SHOULD be sleeping lol (3:19 am)

[@gasmonkey1000]

You don't need sleep now. Thank the 4th dimensional spiders for that.

[@ethanlucier2544]

I like how I watched this video right after I had a nightmare about spiders. Thanks exploring series.

[@austinbate5107]

For a second I thought this was a real scp because I sometimes feel like I am falling when sleeping

[@lochie2804]

The majority of SCPs are based off of real life things, some SCPs, though, are created to give an explanation for some things that we don't know much about

[@Imaproshaman7]

Whoa, now that is a creative concept. I love SCPs that exist as a sort of real world explanation for something misunderstood. Really fascinating.

[@badcatsgetdissolved4506]

We sleepin’ good tonight boys

[@gabrielsmith2913]

This guys voice and these scp stories help me sleep

[@purplehaze2358]

Polly: “Am I in trouble?” The foundation: “Nah, man. You’re just gonna be a D-boi now. Nothing personal lol”

[@kingcobra2858]

Its disturbing because it might as well be the explanation for people dying in thier sleep. I like it.

[@docdoge7111]

Posted 1 minute ago Me: Dang, Im late. : ( Btw Great Video as Always :) these always make my day

[@soulhunter6438]

They make a lot of people's day.

[@DaneGilly]

I've had sleep anxiety and frequent hypnic jerks all my life. This article actually scared the fucking shit out of me.

[@RoyalRetrograde]

2 O'clock central? Come on man, you slacking. 4:05 am on a Thursday is the only acceptable time to upload late.

[@claytondavidson6308]

The person who made this SCP really did a good job

[@a.9913]

Last time I was this early I caught my boyfriend cheating.

[@doomguy6797]

Hey welcome in the gang

[@swine13]

Sorry about that btw

[@lastofthe4horsemen279]

good one.

[@benjaminehren7965]

i like how at the end it explains that 848 are our friends

[@darkninjacorporation]

This is another one of those awesome SCPs that you can tell this is either a field that the author works in, or is otherwise very interested in.

[@seikeshklerns]

I love these scientific and clinical SCPs. I much prefer stuff like this than the normal fare we get in the Kaktusverse.

[@badgerbane]

I listen to youtube as I sleep. This one came on due to autoplay. Gave me one hell of a fucked up dream. 10/10 would dream again.

[@daltooinewestwood6380]

I find it interesting that the researcher was able to get some decent sleep by sleeping in the containment chamber of another anomalous species of spider, essentially protecting his brain from the 4d spiders by introducing a natural predator to his sleeping pattern.
