Places you've seen in your Dreams Explained

After making the previous video about Liminal Spaces lots of people have commented that these spaces look a lot like their dreams. Similar to the concept of the Backrooms another internet aesthetic emerged on TikTok called Dreamcore, that uses images, videos and music to create the feeling of a dream. Movies like Inception, The Matrix, Alice in Wonderland, Cat in the Hat and many more also feature these so called "dreamscapes" to make you feel like you are dreaming. In this video essay we will be diving deeper into the rabbit hole to find out more about these places you have seen in your dreams.

The last step, is where you remove the people or other parts that don't make sense. [The 2nd Second had passed] The way I render my dreams have two main layers, with hundreds of variables. The main two, Are the background space, and the people. The dream feels sentient itself. And feels like the events of the people are pawns in a game of chess. That's because, my dreams were logic based. Almost like a computer getting rid of things and controlling it.

[@99xara99]

I've always loved the idea that that people could "meet" within a dream, share the same dream at the same time and interact and actually both remember it the next day! Logically that's impossible but there's something so mysterious about dreaming that it never actually seems 100% impossible. As a kid, I actually had a "totem place" within my dreams - it was like the sandmans treehouse with a big blue slide with yellow stars. When I went down the slide, I woke up. Whenever I had a nightmare, I just had to find the slide. Alternatively, I could wake up when I just stopped running, folded my hands closed my eyes and prayed to god. I don't care whether people are religious or not - this helped me escape a damn load of zombies, murderers and robots!

[@larissa313]

Its possible :)

[@ShizuruNakatsu]

It actually is possible and does happen. There's a lot more to dreams than what the "experts" think. The problem is that these people view the world from a certain, very limited, point of view. The whole "logic" thing is what prevents many people from opening their minds to a broader view of reality. Dreams are not just created in the mind. They are not just memories, or subconscious thoughts. There is so much more to dreams (and life itself). Meeting people there is definitely possible, and so are many other things.

[@larissa313]

[@ShizuruNakatsu]

@larissa313 True. I don't know too much on that topic in particular, but I do know that most altered states of consciousness (including those reached from meditation, and even dreaming) are very related, and they even trigger the same responses in the brain that occur during spiritual and/or psychic phenomena. Dreams, as well as many other things, are basically taking place in another "realm", or plane of existence. I wouldn't be surprised if all of this is the same stuff, and it just differs in how we reach that place.

[@GrapeFlavoredAntifreeze]

The most accurate depiction of the feelings and surrealness of my dreams while being tied to familiarity and nostalgia in any piece of visual media I have seen has easily got to be the beach scene from Contact. It’s just matches everything so well. The twilight expansive landscape filled with things you might not typically expect to appear in the same scene together. The distant clouds, the serene quietness of everything that matches the silence of dreams, and the ethereal sky of stars that hangs over the scene as if there was no atmosphere and light pollution to cloud your view. The first time I saw it was with my parents and I literally said out loud “This is what my dreams look like” when that scene came on. It was euphoric, like seeing an old friend or being struck by some distant nostalgia you didn’t even remember you could feel

[@Andres33AU]

This happened to me semi-recently, I dreamt that I was leaving an apartment, but when I opened the door, it led me to seemingly infinite corridors (I went on a Liminal Spaces binge earlier, lol). Rather than frantically going through the maze and trying out every door, I imagined opening the door to my home. After three attempts, I was home, walked to my bed, and woke up. Very bizarre, but an example of lucid dreaming through "the backrooms" lol.

[@Strawberrywoniy]

The neighborhood in Edward scissorhands definitely gave me that dreamcore feeling. I live in Florida so it’s very common to see those types of houses but just that empty neighborhood with little to no vegetation just feels strange. Also I’ve seen many of these neighborhoods just in general when driving through neighborhoods.

I’ve never had a dream like those dream core liminal vibes , mine are very …intense and detailed to the point I refuse to believe in a singular reality as this one we all experience . At times I physically feel and smell the circumstances, other times I’d have conversations and events that happen in this reality almost like a prophecy and I’m certainly not the only person who’ve experienced this. Really made me question lots of times reality and the potential of a multiverse , almost like a visit to our “other” selves through dream state. Whether it’s a fiction of our subconscious through the awake conscious or not , my dreams have been as well tools to creativity just as you mentioned in the video. Dreams are fascinating to me. I’ve also had dreams within a dream within a dream , where I’d wake up within the dream only to re wake up to re wake up until I actually wake up.

I find it interesting that often dreamlike scenes are bright and colourful. I don't know about anyone else, but I don't think I've ever had a dream that was bright and colourful. Even dreams that I don't consider nightmares are realistically coloured or even more dull/darker than real life. Perhaps that's just my depressive and anxious psyche. Would be interested to know if anyone's experience differs significantly.

[@Lupaland11]

@@Lupaland11 That makes sense. I don't really play games, so perhaps it's just that the colour in one's dreams reflects the colour in one's real life. Might be an interesting experiment: put someone in a really colourful environment for a month or so and see what their dreams are like.

I think that the way I dream has drastically shifted from before because of mental health issues. I have way more of an anxious feeling even when I’m not straight up having a nightmare, and the coloring of the images is almost from dark to gradient colors focused on the center. It happens mostly when I am elaborating traumatic experiences, but even if it’s not, I very rarely get brightly colored dreams like I remember having more often as a kid. Scary to think how the mind works on a subconscious level while asleep.

I highly suggest you look into the world of mysticism (I really recommend the Seth books by Jane Roberts) The practices of these ideas themselves allow you to explore these things for yourself. It will only occur when the time is right for you, and when you're not insisting on them, but just allow. Meditate(if you don't know please look into it, there's lots of misconceptions) and observe time shift or feel it seem to stop, pay attention to the feeling of what your imagination feels like compared to your physical senses. Notice the different flavours of consciusness. Inner observation is the key. Become more conscious in your daily life to feel your dreams more. The more attention you pay to subtleties of your conscious experience, more things start to click. Not intellectually, but intuituvely. And of course do what you like, but I've felt that exact undying curiosity and this was like the method to deeper understanding of something bigger than imaginable!

They're all willing to work together for it, and they take care of and look out for each other, but still respect privacy and mind their own business. It's an ideal little community.

I’ve also managed to remind myself I am sleeping and can talk for myself. Dreams are so weird but I wouldn’t give it up for any amount of money.

[@ShizuruNakatsu]

Same here. I barely sleep, usually just a few hours a day. But I always remember several dreams after I wake up. And in my dreams, no matter what they're about, I have the ability to float in the air. It's not like flying, but hovering. I jump, and bend my legs, or lean back, and this prevents me from coming back down. I hover just a few feet above the ground. I can do this in any dream, even nightmares. And when I'm doing it, I'm always showing off, basically saying "hey everyone, look at me!". Yesterday I had a dream where a tidal wave of... Weird neon glowing liquid was coming. It was like running away from (fast) lava, but it looked like psychedelic radiant blue and pink stuff. I ran into my house to warn my parents and tell them to leave because the wave was about to wash over the house. When I left, it was already too close so I had to use my hover ability to escape. This was a serious and scary moment, but because I was hovering, my "look how far I can float!" attitude came back and I was so delighted with myself, timing how long I could go without touching the ground, and saying "why don't you all just float too?", knowing full well that nobody else could do it 😂 I also always know when I'm asleep, and am fully conscious. Even if I don't know how to control my dreams, I have full control of myself within them. I have thoughts, feelings, and everything I'd have in real life, so the experience feels just as real. I can also wake up whenever I want, just by thinking "I should wake up now" or "I think I heard something". I've never moved in my sleep, because I'm always fully aware when I wake up and turn over or adjust my position before going back to sleep. Even if i don't open my eyes, I'm fully conscious of it. So I've never woken up in a different position than I fell asleep. I've also never being confused about where I was when I woke up. Even before I open my eyes, I always know exactly what I'm going to see when I do, even when sleeping in a new and unfamiliar location. I remember where I fell asleep even before I wake up, so there is no surprise or confusion when I wake up.

Ever stumbled across a documentary that talks about the connect + nuanced detail of all the films' you personally rate..??! Loved this....thank you! X

[@jaimeandresmenesespico7572]

This is one of the best videos on KZbin, I'm almost crying wtf.

[@HauntedAbysss]

This video was so absolutely beautiful. I weapt deeply. It encompasses so much truth and passion. Perfect selection of music and understanding of composition. Thank you for your hard work and talent for making such a unique transitional piece. 👏

[@Generik_]

Man, great editing on this vid. Your close out about life was hard hitting.

[@jaymixo607]

on this topic i’d like to mention one of my favourite movies, Sucker Punch. it may not be the best movie objectively, but it’s my fav bc i had some great memories with it. it’s about a dream world within a dream world within a dream world. pretty interesting

[@NovaTheSinger]

Definitely this!!! I remember watching this for the first time questioning what was going on.

[@fishbones.666]

amaizing video! not only is the content thought through, but also really athmospheric set in scene. thank you! (sorry for my english)

[@tvytytanooki]

A beautifully haunting and memorizing message embedded in this video essay. Well done.

[@TherapistCheez]

This was an incredible experience to analize and unpack evey single meaning behind it , im basically astonished. Thank you.

[@leahdenardi]

This moved me to tears. Excellent video, thank you

[@liliamuseum196]

The best video ive seen in a long time! I really appreciate your music choices too. I always loved this subject

[@lance7556]

I remember a couple of times when I was a kid and I had realized I was in a dream and I wanted to leave so I would just lay down and fall asleep in the dream. It actually worked somehow. I've never been able to lucid dream but I had a dream recently that was like I was in a horror movie and I wanted so desperately to escape and eventually my dream shifted to something that I was comfortable with. Very strange stuff...

[@thebirdofhermesk5874]

this felt like a production of a channel with more than 1 million subscribers, keep up the good work

[@notmenani]

I saw that video and i knew it will be my forever favourite.. thanks so much for all the hard work you’ve done for it ❤❤

[@dream-sn5op]

I really liked the way this dreamcore video was discussed, it's just as good as the liminal space one. Very atmospheric, its so nice.

[@Cornbread2100]

This was an incredible video, one of the best I’ve ever watched. I love exploring the interesting experiences, nostalgia, and other unique emotions dreams can create

[@duzthissmellinfected]

This gave me a lot to think about without it being depressing I thought for a moment it might head that way. I found it somewhat uplifting. Thank you.

[@suedelacy]

This helps me understand myself in more ways than I thought it would! This is gonna help me make my visual album!

[@uncle_neb]

I literally got chills at the end having gained this knowledge and all of the complex thoughts and ideas. At the end when all of it is closed back up very neatly into a few easy-to-unpack sentiments, with the heavenly, yet slightly melancholic soundtrack playing in the background just made me feel like i was myself floating away into a white nothingness, yet i wasn't scared or apprehensive.. it's weird and the only thing i could imagine it being similar to is the sensation of dying :D. (TLDR: video made me feel like dying xD)

[@natasharobinson2886]

came to this video for some background entertainment while i worked, ended up teary-eyed. great video :)

[@BraxtonGaither]

This and you're previous video are... stellar. Thanks for making them! I nothing sort of some words, but I really did apricate the effort and time put into this and you're liminal video!

[@archivushka]

Sometimes before sleep I wish myself to enjoy my dream, even ifI won;t remember it after waking up. This feeling of dream evaporating from your memory as you wake up is so surreal, yet I experience it almost any time I think about it.

[@shadw4701]

You can remember dreams better by keeping a dream journal and not moving (not even a twitch) for around 5-15 minutes after waking while trying to recall the dream. There's some memory techniques you can use during this time to pull from different memories to see if anything matches with the dreams

[@KopopLolos]

Why does this only have 1k Views??? This deserves more

[@hellolifeanimation]

Made me emotional how this video is so well written. Might get a tattoo of that last quote you said.

[@matiali9269]

Amazing that i can get this amount of information , see and hear a lot of beautifull things. Thank you

[@pedromigueldemagalhaes2185]

and just like that... this video became one of my favorite videos ever Extremely well done, well researched and overall perfectly organized... Relating all these themes of dreams, dementia, schyzophrenia and an scape from reality was just genius Thank you for this

[@jaymcclure8901]

This video was so well made it honestly hurt a little, especially after mentions like Tchaikovsky, to not have mentioned Alejandro Jodorowski and especially his movie the Holy Mountain. I refuse to give spoilers but it ends with the same sentiment of this video only even more literally

[@DanielaGandra]

thank you thank you! wow. this is so incridible, this video is a film. so well created! you just mentioned many of my favorite movies and i realized i have a type! thank u 💓

[@pasnouop]

That ending quote was very well deserved. Cheers mate glad i found this channel

[@unuseddash3564]

Having pretty good editing quality aside this guy is really great at picking background musics. Really fits in with the rest of the video.

[@esculenttechnology]

There's a caretaker track about a third of the way through. Absolutely perfect thinking about dreamscapes

[@esculenttechnology]

Then he brings up a different caretaker track. I should've finished the video before commenting😅

[@Hanna_Stefanowska]

Insanely good video. You deserve a lot more subscribers

[@PsychoJetJunkie]

well Ive figured out what is going to be on my headstone when I die. "Life is the most beautiful movie we will ever get to see" is probably the single most impactful quote I've heard in a long time.

[@lieuwevanderlugt9333]

When I first stumbled on this Channel I said to myself “finally a good quality movie channel” love you man keep up the good work

[@DuCinema1]

❤️ Thank you so much!

[@henryhorniman8578]

Absolutely incredible this is video made me question dreams as I know them. Please continue to made these masterpieces

[@mai-ff7tm]

JUST CRIED MY EYES OUT BCS OF THIS VIDEO. tysm for all the work you put into your content, this is mind blowing!!😭

[@kykas4506]

One of the best videos I've seen in KZbin ❤️ thank you for this experience

[@moo8578]

This video is truly so well made, researched, informative and realy interesting. Keep up the good work!

[@theashkone1530]

the only thing i wasn't expecting was another version of this video!!!!!! thank you again

[@DuCinema1]

Have been working on this for quite a few months, besides I was at a screening with director Gaspar Noe and he talked about how nobody really analyzes dreams in movies. So I had to do it 🙏🚪🖼🌈

[@theashkone1530]

I actully finished watching the video and it blew my mind how to found a connection between the liminal spaces and reality of life, maybe this life is actully a dream fed into our brains or generated by it but on this one its bound to certain rules

[@nut_salad]

This video found me at the right time in my life. Pretty much all the media I’ve been consuming for the past 2 weeks is featured in this.

[@TheKnifeRaven]

Liminality and Dreamscapes are so interesting to me, I quite enjoy exploring them! Thanks for the video! Cheers!

[@unbearifiedbear1885]

Toys is one of the most visually interesting films of all time.. always made me feel weird as a kid; but I loved it.. The first viewing has *always* stayed with me

[@etekplays4057]

Why doesn’t this have millions of views and likes?!? I am blown away from this video it touches on everything and contains such a good narrative and soundtrack to keep you engaged and lost at the same time. Well done my friend, I have done my part and I hope others do the same because this video shouldn’t go unnoticed.

[@DuCinema1]

Thank you so much for the awesome words!

[@tylero8595]

This was amazing. You have an amazing perspective.

[@lutho7693]

This reminds me of the great movie "The Imaginarium of Doctor Panassus", really underrated Movie.

[@labeba6008]

By far my fav new KZbinr. I always felt like I was alone when it came to loving or learning about these things. The fact that you put so much effort into this video just shows me how into it you are just as much as me. Even teaching me new things expanding my mind !!! New subscriber

[@DuCinema1]

🙏❤️

[@neveritoprint]

You just made a video with the golden list of movies, all of the movies you cited are AMAZING

[@ryujin9727]
