[@Darksomnium]

Let me know what you think of Matt's stories!

[@Mandate_of_Heaven]

They’re fun to listen to! 😄

[@_neophyte]

Matt Dymerski is one of my favourite writers. Psychosis, the Portal in the forest series, a shattered life are nothing short of masterclass and among my all-time favourite narrations you did. Speaking of, will you ever continue the portal in the forest or narrate "The Asylum"?

[@tannerodell2057]

I needed this upload today, sick af and stayed home from work. This will help with the boredom. Thanks Ronnie 😅

yeah i plan to redo the portal in the forest and do the asylym :)

This story is amazing for ppl who deal with anxiety and social issues and your voice conveys the uncertainty we all feel within ourselves let alone interacting with the rest of the world

[@Darksomnium]

so glad you're enjoying it!

[@dylanwisdom3937]

I highly agree I had my wisdom teeth removed listening to him thank you so much for the amazing narrations and soothing vibes

[@shannontidwell9255]

Too well *shudder*

[@SpecialEDy]

Everyone has anxiety, uncertainty, and self-doubt. Some people are just better at hiding it from themselves and others, or controlling it. If you experience a lot of anxiety and lack of confidence, then you have the advantage of getting lots of opportunities to practice overcoming it. Everyone else is just as dumb and unsure of themselves as you or I, even the prettiest and most charming individuals have self-esteem issues and do embarrassing things. Nobody will ever be a fraction of a degree as critical or judgmental of you, as you are of yourself. You are human just like I am, just like your biggest crush, just like your greatest hero. It's the awkward and silly things you hate about yourself, that make you the most beautiful and interesting to others. I forgive you for being strange and unique in your own ways, just as I hope you can forgive me for being strange and unique in my own ways, and I hope that you can forgive yourself and learn to love the wild and crazy parts of yourself that make you beautiful and special. You only have to love your imperfections, to be perfect just the way you are.

[@vanessaashford9203]

yeah I've actually had experiences kind of like this, albeit less severe. Having chronic anxiety, bipolar disorder, and a sleep disorder that causes hallucinations all at once sure is fun EDIT: fuck, this story is actually even more relatable than I thought, like I've literally *had* these experiences where I was experiencing something really weird that I thought had to be in my head, but then other people acted like they could see it too?? It's messed up

I don't know what it is about moon stories that just scratch the brain itch, they have such a unique feeling and I love them so much

[@Darksomnium]

im so glad you enjoy them!

[@ghasterra8950]

Its cosmic horror, but personal. The moon is the closest other thing to earth, we can see it with our naked eyes, yet it is so incomprehensibly far away. Something happening to it is more personal than some far flung world or alternate dimension, but still too far to cause immediately noticable affects on earth itself.

[@christianzinser4032]

It’s safe for all to view. If you’re scared, we can look together…

[@AbyssalSoda]

Well the moon is quite odd, it's made out of a similar but uniform surface material that doesn't match with Earth and contradicts the leading theory it came from Earth, its sits at the perfect distance between the Earth and the Sun to create an eclipse, from scans of its surface we can tell for some reason all craters stop at a uniform depth, implying there's a harder shell like layer below, yet crash tests indicate the moon might be hollow or full of caves like a sponge, as the cherry on top there are also legends or "creation myths" if you will that discuss "day the moon arrived" which detail the Earth having calm seas and dark skies before the moon came and churned and heaved the Earth.

[@geraldsmith7240]

I’ve Always Had A Very Eerie Feeling When The Moon Is Out. I’m From Florida, And I Can’t Stand The Moon And Dark Ocean At Night.

[@AlmightyxTalks]

I have paranoid schizophrenia I deal with this memory and fantasy blending or dreams blending with memory so the way the author portrayed his mental turmoil was perfect this is a great story and it shines a bright light on how mental illness makes you second guess everything in your life the simplest things make you question your sanity.

[@speakevermore]

​@@MatthewMorgan3030 thats pretty normal. You can talk to someone about it if it bothers you, but if it doesnt, i would just leave it alone

[@speakevermore]

That sounds really difficult to deal with. Maybe you could incorporate some of your own experiences into a story if youre at all inclined toward writing

[@AlmightyxTalks]

@@MatthewMorgan3030 I am not a licensed physician but I can tell you that is how it started for me back when I was 14 years old I am on medication nowadays so It isn’t much of an issue but it’s more or less like your current situation, now that I'm medicated I have a lot of Deja Vu moments, but I can still separate my reality from my imagination or dreams. But it is normal for this to happen, it's only a problem when you come to believe that the amalgamation of dreams and fantasies, connects to your waking world.

[@AlmightyxTalks]

@@speakevermore I have written two short stories but I think they may be too morbid to share with the masses I don't want to create a space of negativity or depression because I let it out.

[@AIethos]

I bet you, there isnt another creator out here with this much community support. We really do love how you bring these stories alive for us. I hope you’re doing wonderful.

[@Darksomnium]

thank you very much :)

[@paytonbepopin]

probably the best story from this year. stories like this and “i know why we never went back to the moon” are masterpieces

[@sonofeyeabovealleffoff5462]

That creepypasta should have a spiritual successor, I recommend taking the Apollo 20 Hoax which can be found on the Why Files and given a solid ending.

[@Gus-n9u]

So True, I’ve been a fan since back when he was only on R/NoSleep…. Before they kicked him off…….. He is one of the lead lore writers for the game Path of Exile now. It is to Diablo what Pathfinder is to D&D… not my kind of game, and I’m sad to see he is writing horror a lot less. It the man seems happy, so that’s all that matters.

[@shellgun4636]

This is some absolutely wonderful lore im getting about one my new favorite authors. Thank you for this. I will be checking out that game lol.

[@Eldorrado452]

Matt Dymerski is well known for writing one of the most famous stories of all time “Psychosis.” You should check it out when you have a chance, DarkSomnium made a narration of it here on KZbin!

The intricate tie between rock/metalhead rebellion culture and the overarching concept of ultimate control & seeds of distrust is an absolutely brilliant use of themes. This writer does good work!

[@LilaBobina]

Wow I really like this one Somnium. The fact that I couldn’t tell if what was happening was really happening drew me in deeper! I hope to hear more from this universe.

[@wimsy69]

this story is by the same author as ‘someone has been standing outside my house for a year’? :0 honestly that one was my absolute favorite. no wonder this one also really intrigued me! these stories always help me to calm down and think of something else when having a rough day. honestly, this is my favorite channel on all of youtube.

This was heartbreaking for me to listen to, I have alot of anxiety and paranoia and this hit to close to home, the whole time I just wanted to give the main character a hug. Great story tho and excellent narration as always!

[@eyeruscat9439]

Same! I completely understood some of his social anxieties and paranoia, and I kept being like, “oh, honey, it’s OK, I understand,” even though I know he obviously can’t hear me.

[@dereks_island]

It's weird how social anxiety is something that gets worse the more experience interaction, it's weird how hearing how he sounds because it sounds oddly familiar. How you manage to find such high quality stories and deliver them like VERY few could hope to. Ty as always. It's more appreciated than u may know.

[@Just-Schizo]

I'm a paranoid schizophrenic. And these types of stories make me so... happy? Ig. It's just that we dont get much visibility that isnt "Crazy killer." It actually means a Lot to me that you do stories like these. One of my all time faves is "I spent [X hours] in complete isolation" We dont get representation often and I just... Feel a bit seen. Thank you for doing these types of stories.

Oh god, I miss math so badly 😭 I always loved it and the best part was to be able to do exercises whilst listening to music or scary stories. Can't do that while reading articles 🥲

[@stephenstevens6573]

This story was so different! Obviously an alien world, but with just enough familiarity tp to give us a point of reference. The story was so well written and yet never really answered any questions...so unusual... I'm going to have to give it another listen to see if I can glean any more clues. I never truly felt like i was totally immersed in the story. Never felt like i really was comfortable with my surroundings so that i could pay attention to the events of the story. Your little Insomniac

[@GoatOfTheWoods]

This was one of the best stories I've ever heard. The build up, the anticipation, the reveal ( that was actually impressive ) the resolve and the lingering mystery, all veeery well balanced. Good job Matt, please do more!

[@MelissaSchwartz143]

Holy. This story took a turn that I did not expect. Amazing. Just amazing. Matt D is an amazing author and you, Dark Somnium, are an incredible narrator, sound designer and music producer. I am just in awe. This story was pure gold. Thank you for being you 😭😭😭 I’ve been a fan since late 2019/early 2020, but it feels like forever.

[@cadynzursternsatz]

Crazy how many stories you've been able to get out lately! I'd love to hear you give narrating some H.P. Lovecraft stories a try, I know they're probably a bit slower paced than the typical stories on this channel but perhaps something like The Colour out of Space would be a good fit!

[@Darksomnium]

I think it would be fun to do his work!

[@zama422]

In the meantime, I’d like to recommend horror babble. They do a ton of lovecraft and other classics. Very different vibe, but disgustingly underrated channel.

[@anastasia408]

That piece you play with the male choir in the background is something I've picked up on in a handful of your videos and i just wanted to say I absolutely adore it!! Whenever you pair it in sections of your narrations, it just feels like it encapsulates the emotions you want to portray....I feel this overwhelming sense of hopelessness, a power thats bigger than I and that no one can comprehend but its happening in front of our eyes.....I just wanted to say how much I love your music, specifically THAT one that you incorporate in your work

[@FriedPotatoFarmer]

This reminds me so much of the "psychosis" creepypasta. They're both so good the way you don't really know what is real throughout the story. I love the "unreliable narrator" story concept.

[@kaos2405]

I LOVE mental health stories. Stories that make you question reality, or if it is all in the character's head really helps me maintain perspective with my own vast mental health issues. They also help me stay aware of my wife's schizophrenia issues as well.

2 years later, alive and well. Whatever happened in those two years, you pulled through and made it to today. You will make it to tomorrow, and you will make it to two years from now. I am not worried that you will succeed and thrive, I have confidence in you, and I hope that we can share our confidence together in your well-being. Take a deep breath, tell yourself that everything is fine. Take another deep breathe, and look at all of the success and survival that you have built around yourself. You cannot always predict the struggles of tomorrow, but you will find a way just as you always have. Finding your way is joy and happiness, not the destination, and you have your whole life ahead of you to forge new paths.

[@Masked_Deviant]

The part where the girl hollers to the three guys that she's being attacked. The Alarm noises you put in. Fucking well done. The Alarm sound was so quiet at first, and as the scene progresses gets louder. It was just so fitting. The noise fit everything going on in that scene. The panic, and alarm, of the protags mind as he's hit with a situation that should put alarm bells up. The Alarms fit the woman, who's clearly in on something, raising the alarm to her unseen master, and the alarm of the three men closing in for an attack. It just struck me as a very well placed "little thing" that added far more than you may have thought to the scene. Just one more of those "little things" that put your narrations into a very well deserved category. Very well done Boss.

Real question. Has anyone noticed a huge, super bright, triangle shaped star in the morning? I noticed during the last super moon, and it's been bugging the crap out of me. Anyways, thanks Somn i'am sure this is going to be another great story.

[@FayeHunter]

Like, defined triangle, 3 points? Large? If not a star it is most likely a planet (most are only seen at dawn) however do not flicker like a star, since it is just a nearby planet like Mars. Recently there have been some 'perspective' based super -... whatever you wanna call when you see a planet behind another planet making it look like one really large light in the morning.. I've always seen Venus thinking it was a star, it's so very bright in the evening. I could probably answer this for real with a lil' more detail, honestly. Also location matters, ya know, hemispheres and all.

[@Infinite.Worldz]

​@FayeHunter Now that you mention it, it doesn't seem like it twinkles, and I just see a triangle shape when i look at it, lol. I see it at or around dawn on my way to work. it's in the eastern part of the sky and the eastern part of the country. Sounds like it's a planet. if it is, I wonder which one..... thanks!

[@FayeHunter]

@@Infinite.Worldz You may be looking at Venus after all, if it is just before sun rise. Since orbits are not synced and Venus is closer to the sun, it is always very bright. So good chance you're looking at Venus, since you stated it does not twinkle. Stars do. Planets don't unless they need the WiFi password. Heeeey i think i helped someone again just by knowing 'space lore' lol. SCIENCE! Additionally: "Venus reaches greatest brilliancy on September 19. And Mercury - near its September 22 greatest elongation - will be nearby." So you're probably looking at both, or at least just Venus, horray for space! Venus has low render distance lmao.

[@barrelofmonkeys5099]

I once convinced myself that the venus I saw every morning at 4 am had to be a meteor coming our way lol... I know, Shut up lol.

Sky View by Epic Apps Studio. If you let it have your region and oriented right, it will label all the stars, planets, et ctr and the phone will reflect your own perspective if you're holding in front of you. Anyway I'm sure you'll figure it out but it has the option to show the planetary plane and where it is in the sky and you'll be able to figure out if it's a planet if it's on that line with bare eyes.@@Infinite.Worldz

I was thinking the whole time how much this story reminded me of psychosis so I guess learning they were by the same author explains that, and it having a connection to this one also puts that story in a new light

This is a great story that I really enjoyed listening to. I hope you do more stories by him he is a great writer.

Oooo this was very interesting I’m def relistening. Knowing that the author wrote Psychosis and the Standing outside one was so cool and that it’s in the same universe. I love how each story has such in depth explanations/descriptions of a mental health issue, it doesn’t just paint the protagonist out to be just a “crazy “ person but instead paints everyone else being odd. I think it was such a cool take that the ones unaffected in this story by the moon were people with mental health issues , like some cool superhero type thing. And the fact that the main character mental health was made “whole” after looking at the moon. I’ve always wondered what was wrong with myself or why I couldn’t be like everyone else, so having turned it to “what the fuck is wrong with everyone else??” Was so clever and cool. I always wondered what the deal was with the 2 moons with the Standing Outside story and this would make sense. He did say here only like 18% were affected so maybe this mass paranoia happened some time before or after those events. Lastly I found alot of parallels and relatability with the way the author wrote about mental health. There’s such stigma and stereotype, especially those who suffer from hallucinations, with people who have mental health issues. It was refreshing to see a creative way to showcase these everyday issues in a psych/thriller type story. Hope you do more by them I enjoyed this one a lot!!

Okay Ive listened to a lot of creepypasta type stories, but this one, this is by far the best. It convinced me to subscribe and like. This is a great piece of art. It gives me cosmic horror vibes and I mean that as a compliment about most others. Love it, love the channel. Im Here for a longtime now :)

Suuuch a deep, traumatic, journey of a story. I just listened to the guy standing across the street for a year story and that really fucked my mind. I clearly remember that last little bit about the second moon, and how hard it was to figure out what was actually happening, what was real. The best.

I listened to this on Spotify yesterday on my commute home. Loved every second; absolutely incredible work

[@evanlahera9086]

Love listening to these while doing homework ❤

[@lukeskywanker7839]

Thank you for being such an artist in voice acting and storytelling. I subscribed and it lets me get through work!

[@captainngoose]

I love these stories- where you can't tell if the narrator is actually going crazy or if things are genuinely that messed up. It reminds me of the "The thing in the basement is getting better at mimicking people" story. It was such a good audio, I couldn't tell if the author was going crazy or not!

[@DeBaars]

i loved that one to it was absolutely amazing

[@NolenGYT]

I love you mentioned this-I WAS ALSO THINKING THIS COULD BE CONNECTED TO THE STORY ABOUT THE NEIGHBOR STANDING OUTSIDE… When the story mentioned two moons, everything clicked.

[@AbyssalSoda]

*Spoiler Warning* I honestly like it how the story left the Dreamer's motives completely up in the air, he might have been a force of evil, or a potential savior; likewise the unknown civilization that fired those photoids might have been evil, neutral, or a savior as well.

[@winterknight5923]

I say it is a force of evil. It shifted people's perception of reality and making them believe that it, The Dreamer, was a saviour. This is basically the Anti Christ. A being who decieves us into believing he is a prophet and makes us swear alligance to their darker father.

[@mansikkapoika]

I really loved this one!! :) I'm in the process of getting a diagnosis for bipolar and this perfectly describes the paranoia and delusions that can come from mania. Honestly I can't listen to these types of stories unless I'm in a good place mentally because they make me feel the paranoia too much haha. I also love when the delusions end up being true. Yeah the character had mental issues but it actually played into the story and it wasn't just a "unreliable narrator, guess what's actually real? Whoops he was just going through psychosis. That's it.". I mean you can still see it like that, these types of stories that deal with mental health are kind of open ended since you can look at it from different perspectives, but I like the one's where something actually *is* going on so I'm taking it at face value. :,) Great narration as always!! You're keeping me company as I'm working on tattoo flashsheets again ((I'm doing some spooky Halloween inspired pieces you can see in my pfp haha)). I'm gonna go listen to another one now! Take care ♡♡

[@Hedron-Design]

Loved the several twists and the uncertainty of reality for half the story. It is unsettling to wonder if anything in the story is real or if even the real isn't real lol. Also I am glad you mentioned the story of the man standing outside the house. That is one of my favorites.

[@Revenant0714]

My favorite thing to see on my phone is a notification from an amazing youtuber!!! Thanks Dark Somnium!!!

[@Darksomnium]

You're the best! :D
