Podcast is Called : ASN Humans Are Space Orcs , HFY and other stories
--------------
This Story is Classified as HFY or Humanity Feck, Yea , but what does the Mean?
-------------
HFY is a story/series that takes a “human element” in either humanity or an “other” (race/species or object) that exists in a “setting” (future or other world/universe) with varying levels of culture, technology, society and history that help show in some shape or form the potential good or bad for humanity’s race/culture. In These stories Humans are often referred to as Human, Humanity, Deathworlder, Hellwolder in reference to the human planet of origin , Earth. This planet is seen by most of the universe as a place where only death and chaos can survive.
-------------
Taken from the FAQ of the r/HFY subreddit.
Humans Are Space Orcs (HASO) or Humans Are (Fantasy Race) Are used as a guide when writing.
In these Stories we normally View humans like the other races view orcs in a Fantasy Novel. We (Humans) share the same characteristics and personalities as orcs. Humans are normally treated as the outsiders and barbarians. Humans tend to be underestimated as well in these stories. Unlike Humanity Feck Yea , these don't always put a positive spin on humans\humanity sometimes looking at the darker side of human and humanity from the perspective of aliens.

"Life is but a dream" is supposed to just be a song.

[@jaytonobrien6325]

Damn. I really didn't need to ponder an imaginative universe where the sand man is the curator of dreams

[@nexusdrop7863]

......the sandman does not exist. The dreamer just heard of such and imagined it, which then took life based on the dreamer's ideas on how sandman works. Like everything in the story it is just a kid dreaming. Sandman seemed to be the only one aware, which would keep in step with our myths being imagined. Somewhere some other human is sleeping and they are dealing with the monster under their bed.

[@DonPatrono]

Technical specialist Ennish woke up stretching his back and coughing when the NPA in his nose tickled his esophagus. Exiting his pod, he found Chief Engineer Dorenkova leaning on the wall, a cup of warm coffee in her hand "Rise and shine sleepyhead, was getting a little worried when your cryopod took an additional day before waking you up. Had a good sleep?" Mumbling and grabbing the coffee mug, Ennish said "I hate cryosleep....you know I always get the weirdest of all dreams, like this time there was this sandman and..." "Yah yah, you'll tell me later kiddo, c'mon time to get back to work"

Don't wake the Red King, we are all characters in his dream. Lewis Carrol

[@shadowwatcher5042]

I like this one because it makes one think about the nature of dreams. Are they just thoughts? Do the creatures that live in your head exist in the same sense we do? Is our world a dream? Seems rather boring if it was. Do the souls that live in the depths of the subconscious hate us for the nightmares we have? Are superheroes just lucid dreamer?

[@sirfenixxumbra6626]

the dreams are storys told by one side of our brain while the other side listen, they are very sociable and turn themself to tell storys

[@kiritotheabridgedgod4178]

If our universe is a dream, it probably only seems boring from our perspective, rather than the perspective of the dreamer.

[@DellikkilleD]

@@sirfenixxumbra6626 you should see what they do when in sensory deprivation. it can make you live your dreams while awake.

[@kyriss12]

@@DellikkilleD Same with extreme sleep deprivation. After a few weeks of insomnia you start seeing some crazy shit, and loosing track of what’s real.

[@kyriss12]

You think this is a mindfuck look up the comic sandman. Also according to lovecraft the entire universe is an unconscious dream of Azathoth the blind idiot god, and will end when he wakes up.

[@_Muzolf]

Okay, this one was actually good, and it made sense that the names of the creatures would just be the names of the animals. Not stupid aliens that make no sense to have ever emerged as a civilization, but an universe made of dreams.

[@crazypedia1717]

Ok now that's a better way to do "it's all a dream"

[@LegendStormcrow]

When I heard about the biped with a mask and melee weapon, I went "Jason?" From there, more and more monsters. Is this a Gary Gygax game?

[@rogerrabbit80]

The xenomorph from "Alien", "The Blob", mechanical killers I think from "Runaway", dinosaurs from "Jurassic Park". The giant snakes from "Anaconda", giant spiders from "Arachnophobia". That's the ones I got. I'm sure someone can identify others.

[@johnnycovenant2286]

What a grand and intoxicating delusion

[@electricfan1085]

Guy wakes up. Says to the person next to him, "You wont believe the dream I just had."

[@taitano12]

So... The Sandman was snatching away the nightmares. And those nightmares were populating this universe of imagination, inside the head of a child in stasis. There's no real clues about it, but I suspect he's on an interplanetary ark fleeing a broken Earth and Mars. A war occurred, with the last parts - the final battles - taking place on Mars as the ship passed by. Heading for a new world. They must have entered suspension shortly after Mars.

[@peekakuchu6878]

It's a kid who saw too much Netflix, HBO, KZbin and pirated content from old movies and tv series🤭

[@Lorkanthal]

Possibly or it could be that the image of Mars is based upon its namesake, being the God of War. Much like how Jupiter was home to the God of thunder and you had Neptune having a trident shaped palace on it. The image of a devastated earth might be the only true event and is why he was in a cryosleep for along journey.

[@nexusdrop7863]

The planets are listed as the Greek gods (think is them). Jupiter is Zeus, same god but named different. As far as what happened in reality... most likely a standard trip. When was the last time you had a normal day and a crazy dream?

[@peekakuchu6878]

@@nexusdrop7863 I've never had a normal dream ... What is that? To me having a normal dream is crazy

[@peekakuchu6878]

Never let humans sleep too long lol that universes god is called the dreamer lol

[@lordzoom2441]

😮 one of the pods had replicators that pod was probably a containment unit made by the Asgard or the ancient

[@allenmorgan1007]

For the Algorithm, for the Author(s), for the Disembodied Voice!

[@Chrisspru]

the experiences of dreams do not get deleted, they move into the subconcious. dreams can be continued and formed through lucid dreaming or even randomly. so the dreamed together conciousnesses simply become a part of the dreamer again, ae to act through them.

[@christopherrhodes3228]

So, we had a story of *The First Battle,* and now we see the last.

[@tabith1012]

Elder Scrolls lore in a nutshell.

[@__jonbud______________________]

Now I can't stop imagining the pods being made of Dwemer metal and gears

[@Elmithian]

We are the foolish god that sleeps.

[@wolfgangkranek376]

This excellent story has a universe of references.

[@Navy89SEALs]

Melee weapon and a mask? Jason?

[@anarchyandempires5452]

Wow this is some classic science fiction, seriously doesn't even feel like it would have been written in this era If you had told me this was a short story written by some famous sci-fi author at the turn of the century or in the 1910s I I would have 100% believe you

[@peterwall8191]

As it is with us too. We are but creatures of a dream. Eventually the dreamer will awaken and all will be lost! Not even the void will remain. Even death can die it seems! I sometimes wonder, about the kind of mind that can dream of an end to it all. An end to strife, an end to struggle, an end to pain and suffering, an end to affection an end to love, and end to consciousness itself. Behold the end of your struggles oh mighty! Behold the fate of all flesh! Of what use your wealth then? Of what use your power? It cannot prolong your lives even a second. Others will follow, to take what you built and consume it. To spend all you have amassed, until nothing remains. Balance canot be denied. No thing can stop the end of the dream.

[@Monster_Ink]

That was awesome! Thanks for the tale & narration! For the algorithm!

[@zachelkins1229]

And the child's name was Azathoth.

[@nexusdrop7863]

His name was Bob. What kind of parent names their child Azathoth?

[@Jesus_Offical]

@@nexusdrop7863 Shit his name shudnt be comprehansible to you. Afraid i will have to zero sum you

[@ap_trial666]

​@@nexusdrop7863Lovecraft's fan? I literally have a friend with Hastur as middle name (a schemer god who likes to meddle with human from behind the scene) so I don't see why no one would name their child Azatoth which personally sounds cooler than Hastur.

[@notajalapeno4442]

just like azathoth in the cathlo mythos

[@nexusdrop7863]

No. Just me. You are a figment of my imagination.

[@michaelagin7076]

wow that was one of the better stories

[@lornbaker1083]

A creature that infected one of the aliens with its eggs. And then resulted in Is a black chitin covered Warrior That appeared to be so skilled and stealthy at ambush predation that it was able to annihilate almost the entire crew of a single starship without any backup or any technology. The yep we created xenomorphs. I thought the reference too The bipedal individual wearing the mask with the maylie weapon was a bit on the nose as its jasonX. But that is the aliens from ridely Scott's aliens in the second encounter of note. So somehow we decided that it would be just be fun to Create the offspring of a gimpsuit and a velociraptor That was capable of existing in no atmosphere 0G space and also possessed hydrophloric acid For blood.. You know somehow I'm not surprised in the slightest at this considering that seems like some of the other species that got out to the stars before and were just furries. Like the lupus and the spidar

[@merlinathrawes746]

Intriguing to say the least. So everything is just the creation of the human's sleeping/dreaming mind which will fade away as he awakens? Interesting concept.

[@TheMonkey747]

Wow. What a twist at the end of the vid...

[@c7iC--s7ick]

A literal eldritch god

[@lanceknowlton1871]

Realy deep, very good story

[@coolet9132]

This story is similar to the thing where we would create a computer simulation with sentient Ai's as the inhabitants, just that this was probably unintentionally by the human.

Young Vishnu is awaking.

I'd like to think they all pop back into existence again for 8 hours or so per day. A guy's gotta sleep sooner or later.

[@nexusdrop7863]

You ever dream the same dream twice? Nightmares maybe but the same normal dream? Best I have done is wake up during the night then restart the dream, knowing what happened before I woke up and trying to correct what happened in the dream. Timetravel like plot of preventing bad things from the previous dream.

@@nexusdrop7863 happens to me a few times. Thing is, the gap between them are years. I don't know how my brain remember multiple dreams that I have no recollections of until I dream of the sequel of it.

[@nexusdrop7863]

@@arent2295 Dreaming the sequel is not the same as being the same dream. It is like someone else's save game. I've had dreams restart and they were each different (took different actions). Of course... this is just theoretical assumptions being passed on a fictional mechanic. If our dreams do spawn universes the question would be if we owe them anything or if we are monsters. Logical argument is we owe them nothing as we would perish keeping them alive.

[@arent2295]

@@nexusdrop7863 I've had some of those as well. Everything happens the same until it shifts into something else. Whenever it happens I'd be in a half conscious half sleep state though. I could hear everything that happens around me and it would be incorporated into my dreams in a twisted way. Just like that time I dreamt of goofy getting an anime gf.
