MY JAW DROPPED WHEN I SAW ADAM IN THE THUMBNAIL the crossover is something I’ve been waiting for for SO LONG❤️

[@phoebehampton9067]

Me TOO!! Adam is the GOAT! I love him!!

[@kleee711]

My first mental health nurse made me start a dream journal and after reading it for ONE session she said this is beyond her help and referred me onto a different nurse 😭

[@BethanyBachling]

You guys have scared me I can’t shower now without thinking Betsy or the seven dwarfs are gonna posses me naked

[@mutlaq755]

the worst nightmare is when i was in a loop. everytime i wake up and leave my room i'd just wake up again in bed and it was going for like hours in my dream. but it was just a 20 mins nap

[@alessiagatti590]

😂😂😂

[@gremlinblues]

sometimes my dreams make absolutely 0 sense, I have a reoccurring dream that I’m out getting groceries or shopping and I reach into my purse to grab my wallet to pay and my purse is just a giant taco and I pull my hand out and it’s covered in refried beans and that’s the whole dream

[@joanna4500]

🤣

[@Eisoj8]

Bach’s tootsies were frightening at the beginning

[@kleee711]

I have crazy vivid intense dreams that just retraumatise me almost every night I’ve had to learn to lucid dream so I can get myself out of these dreams

[@mellowfellow245]

I’ve never thought about lucid dreaming but now you’ve said that I might because I have the wildest dreams that replay all my trauma🙃

[@torackplays]

Cheers lads, will definitely be seeing Betsy in my dreams tonight

[@emmabuckland1246]

barthur- we all say in unison

[@kleee711]

I used to be so scared of being awake at three am I used to panic trying to get to sleep before the clock hit three

[@thirstaefortae5057]

I don’t get them as much anymore, but I would have lucid dreams where I would mess up and so I’d rewind it back to correct it 😂 this is definitely a superpower I wish I had as someone who is socially awkward

[@possiblyignore]

NO WAY ADAM IS ON HERE

[@j3ssls07]

Arthur looks jaundice af

[@leila_saturn_moon]

WHY IS THERE A TRANSLATION 😭😭😭

[@ASMRXanicx]

Adam is the best guest so far haha

[@jhall900]

I have always been a VERY LUCID DREAMER in which I control and KNOW I am dreaming, during the dream I fly ALOTTT (ARTHUR) they are laughing but I have the same thinggggggggg I learned how to fly and I have a reoccurring dream flying around my childhood neighborhood. Same street, my house, the blocks like once a month.. LUCID dreams are awesome. I also tell myself within the dream to remember this when I wake up. It is crazy

[@jhall900]

LUCID dreaming pod #2.. This one was short. Love you guys from AZ

[@jhall900]

The last question to Bach yes lol and yes got back into the dream!

[@AnIrishMan500]

I used to get sleep paralysis a lot. Waking up fully but not being able to move is horrible. Cannot imagine how terrifying it would be to then have to deal with a "Betsy" as well.

[@kleee711]

My dreams always retraumatise me but I’ve slowly been recognising them as dreams and changing the outcomes

[@NYCbabyJes]

*I look forward to this podcast as much as I love getting notifications of Bachs videos up*

[@kleee711]

Flying in dreams feels so fulfilling and satisfying idk how to explain it

[@gabsonmars]

I always look forward to these episodes

[@johnking5174]

Hi Arthur, I had the exact same in primary school when I was 6. The teacher wouldn't allow me to go to the toilet. It was just after morning break. I literally just pulled my trousers down and pissed in the sand box area. She dragged me out of the class, with my trousers around my ankles to the toilet to clean me up. That still in my memory 32 years later.

[@alessiagatti590]

Loved the stories that Adam brought in, great guest!!❤

[@alma178]

I've never been interested this much in my life

[@Akw4r6]

I’m in my last year of school, and keep falling asleep when I get home and I every single time have a dream about just a normal day at school- like it’s just a really normal school day and then u get home and sleep so then I wake up from that dream and then think it’s the next day so I start panicking thinking I’m going to be late for school but it’s literally 5 pm

[@joei2649]

I also have sleep paralysis, but luckily I don’t have a demon. But whenever I do have sleep paralysis, I can’t move or even breathe. I just feel this heavy pressure on my chest and I just lay in my bed suffering.

[@kleee711]

@44:40 that happens to me! As soon as I acknowledge the fact I’m dreaming I wake up so I try to avoid thinking about that while I lucid dream

[@Kayleigh789]

I learned how to lucid dream at like 11 because when I was a kid I kept having a reoccuring nightmare every Christmas for at least 5 years where "Santa" knew I was awake and would come up the stairs to my room. I'd close my eyes pretending to be asleep and open them to what I can only describe as a demonic Santa staring into my face. When I was 11 and had my first computer with dial up broadband (90s kid), I started looking up different ways to stop nightmares because Christmas was coming up away and I was terrified it would happen again (despite not believing in Santa anymore). 🤣

[@Laila.musso29]

I lucid dreamed by accident and I knew I was dreaming and I tried to wake up and I couldn’t and I checked my phone and the time was like half I don’t know how to explain it but it was the scariest thing ever😭

[@kleee711]

I have such intense vivid dreams I wake up exhausted no matter what my doctor started prescribing me sleeping tablets

[@melissaparry7169]

This is a really interesting conversation, as a child I had sleep paralysis of a shadow figure with a long trench coat and fedora hat, he would always hide in a corner or be at the foot of my bed, I never witnessed a face, just a shadow but it felt like he was always looking intensely at me, it’s all he ever did.

[@kleee711]

Whenever I had nightmares as a child I used try to open my eyes with my fingers and shout for my mum until I’d end up shouting for her in real life while still sleeping so she could come wake me up

[@leahhamo19083]

I always have nightmares where my teeth fall out. I hardly ever dream or get nightmares but every so often I have one where my teeth just fall out . I HATE IT

[@faithb23]

I had an actual mental breakdown when i learned about sleep paralysis, like should have been sent on a grippy sock vacation meltdown and now i only sleep on my sides to avoid it but i have night terrors of snakes and i wake myself up thrashing to get them off. It’s jarring tbh

[@JDZVideos]

Adam is ❤️❤️❤️

[@Triggrrr]

I can’t even open my eyes during sleep paralysis. As soon as I sense the evil presence, I try to scream myself to fully awake

[@alex31721able]

I vividly remember reading online a story about someone having a one night stand and ended up falling asleep without taking the pee pee out somehow. They claimed they both had exactly the same dream that night as if they were connected

[@hehe-mm4uz]

YOU COULDN'T HAVE BROUGHT A BETTER GUEST

[@Someone11i]

Omg I don’t even know his name but I love his reels on instagram

[@cerysmorgan5810]

Some adhd medications also help narcolepsy so that might explain the effects of the drug that arthur was talking about

[@kleee711]

When I was younger and went to the toilet in my dream I’d always accidentally piss the bed irl too

[@dafonz3666]

I like Arthur’s shirt

[@faithb23]

I took adderall during finals in college (US) and i knocked out so many papers and did amazing but would not recommend using medication incorrectly for sure lol

[@chrismarieenslin344]

I just had an absolute jumpscare when you said my name in the video. 😂

[@friendywend]

44:25 i have had my phone in a dream before. im pretty sure i was just sending an email but it seemed normal (i also had a dream where i was sending texts but i wasn’t using my phone so maybe dream world is more advanced and there’s no need for phones anymore) also betsy sounds like The Old Hag to me

[@kleee711]

I had a series of recurring dreams about two men in trench coats driving a mondeo who kept kidnapping me and one week at my primary school they sent letters out to the parents warning them of two men in long coats in a mondeo asking kids to get into their car

[@xXxalliexXx]

At least with the zombies, jersey is pretty easily defensible unless they can swim

[@kleee711]

My dreams are often so horrific my partner has asked me to stop telling him about them because they’re traumatising him hahah

[@tovethecat]

I thought lucid dreaming was just being conscious in dreams, I am never conscious I just remember it after, is that normal?

[@Theredleafx]

I get sleep paralysis occasionally and used to have it really bad when I was a teen. I used to see all sorts of horrible shit, like my step dad killing my friends or whoever was in the room with me that night laughing at me struggling. Scary, scary shit 😅 I apparently laugh in my sleep though so I feel sorry for my partner too 😂

[@robbiehughes4244]

Can you do a segment, every time someone has forced a laugh when george clark makes a joke

[@jmae3263]

Why is it always some demon spawn with sleep paralysis? Why not a lovely fairy or something?

[@kleee711]

If I play a game or read a book before bed I usually dream all about that like the year subway surfer came out I didn’t dream of anything else 😂

[@Alex-tc6gs]

Love a studious king

[@kleee711]

My brother used to eat in his sleep and also whenever he is ill he will throw up in his sleep and not wake up

[@xxeczxx9034]

I'm not sure whether they are aware that cows naturally have horns as well

[@aimeewhite06]

I have dreams almost every night and can remember mostly all of them, not many of them are scary or nightmares. But if they are scary I am conscious that I’m in a dream but I never wake myself up which is so weird? Like I’m scared and know it’s awful and it feels real, I know it’s not but still put myself through it anyway? odd

[@saintsaremassive]

I had sprt of a reoccurring dream. The first time I stumbled into this "scare house" and it lit up red and it had moss around the walls and like a vampire and zombie jumped out. The nest time i had this dream I took my friend there in a separate dream months after and we went in there, he got scared and i started laughing and then he ran out and I stood there laughing in the house. I had a dream series in separate dreams lol

[@daintonould]

SUBMITTING MY RECURRING DREAM. In my dream I'm able to put my arms out and fly around or jump as high as I like. Would love a explanation lads 😅

[@bugdrawsportraits]

The worst nightmare here is Bach thinking cows don't have horns 😅

[@DystortdSacrifice]

Im fuckin over it i swear how is it every video u say something that relates to my day man. Just had sleep paralysis for the first time in sooo long & it was so scary i actually felt like i was being choked... and I told my friend and she was like " u should have tried to get it to smash." & i was like "girl.... that was my first thought." I probably sound so crazy w these comments but understand i know this and I would have stopped by now. im actually shook. Plus i screenshotted our messages so I'm standing on this that im suppose to be watching this. Could honestly just be cuz i needed a pick me up i been depressed all week and been so productive today/ yesterday

[@Anonymous15296]

You should make like a rock and Morty style animation intro with ur characters

[@lilyoliver174]

Every night I have really vivid dreams and I lucid dream so often 😭😭I remember most of my dreams and everything that happened but their allways hard to explain because their so random sometimes and just don’t make sense saying it out loud. 🤣I used to get sleep paralysis quite often too mostly when I was sleep deprived. I used to wiggle my finger to snap out of it. It was the only thing I could move, mine never had demons though, it was allways a dream and it was scary bcuz it didn’t feel like a dream it felt like it was real life, one of them was me getting dragged down the side of my bed and it felt real I could feel it 😭😭😭then I woke up and couldn’t move. The first time I ever had it I tried to sleep again after and it happened another 4 times that night. I gave up in the end and stayed up all night 😭

[@samclark9384]

italian snatch is unreal

[@Aqua_splash]

I am a farmer and I can safely say Arthur can not win a fight against a 500kg cow

[@kleee711]

I’m so worried Arthur is gonna be drunk one day and break his NDA’s from working on bio tech contracts hahha

[@Darylsfluffyhair]

Never heard men talk about fighting animals for so long 😭

[@kleee711]

Arthur is accidentally buying drugs from Silk Road to study

[@MyCheeseheads]

Once realised I was dreaming and told a boy in my dream that he was in my dream and non of it was real and he looked at me and whispered “do not tell that to anyone else here”💀😭

[@kleee711]

Would you rather fight a kangaroo or an ostrich

[@chapsjohn7435]

Cows also have horns and you wouldn't stand a chance 😂😂

[@kleee711]

Do you dream in black and white or colour?

[@tovethecat]

You dream in black and white??I didn’t know that was possible

[@gracegitari]

AAAAHHHHHH

[@kleee711]

Guys…cows have horns 😂

[@oliviapaige22]

u guys are my age cody and noel🫶🏻

[@kleee711]

Kangaroos can disembowel you!!

[@Djm8520]

‘A candy-colored clown they call the sandman Tiptoes to my room every night Just to sprinkle stardust and to whisper Go to sleep, everything is alright I close my eyes then I drift away Into the magic night, I softly say A silent prayer like dreamers do Then I fall asleep to dream my dreams of you In dreams I walk with you In dreams I talk to you In dreams you're mine all of the time We're together in dreams, in dreams But just before the dawn I awake and find you gone I can't help it I can't help it If I cry I remember that you said goodbye It's too bad that all these things Can only happen in my dreams Only in dreams In beautiful dreams’

[@DystortdSacrifice]

Its so weird i have looked it up wnd everything ur not suppose to be able to read, or see a phone in ur dreams and then u say u cant count now too??? Idk why but i can. I found out about all this from telling someone i read a note in a dream and it led to the convo. Apparently the part of ur brain is asleep that allows u to read. Also as im typing it u say the phone thing. I literally have had facebook arguments in my dreams. Ive tried to look up other ppl who can do this or any studies. When i looked there was nothing... the people I told would not believe me and im like idk why a 27 year old would start a conversation about seeing a phone in a dream or reading just to flex that i can do something that cant be proven??? Like yes lemme flex my fucking slumber rn. Lmao. I wish I could study on it though. If anyone in the comments can plzzz hmu. Arthur- same w the zombie dreams but not aliens. I have zombie dreams CONSTANTLY. Ive heard a few other people say the same too. Zombie dogs are always present

[@Willmurphy1997]

Would be funny if you’re discussing dreams, wet dreams are always funny to hear about. Next time

[@thebestpiratedaily6908]

40:50 Yeah that’s caused by the phone screen being slightly raised, likely due to heat. Because of this, all of the sub-pixels (tiny lights) aren’t connected to the circuit board, which explains why half of the screen flashes white. You may have to send it out to repairs, but there’s also a potential solution that you can do instantly. Basically all you have to do is take the phone and place it in a cool place and press down on that specific side of the screen so that the sub-pixels can potentially reconnect. This may fix it permanently so you may as well try it. But hey, another solution is to not listen to an online stranger’s advice, since I made this all up.

[@kleee711]
