The Chilluminati Podcast - Episode 87 - The House of Infinite Rooms

[@mastergeek2014]

The fact that Jesse didn't immediately agree that The Eagles are among the dad-est of Dad Bands is baffling to me. Their music is synonymous with Dad Rock to me.

[@Capt-Molo7]

It was probably Mothman flying around. “Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya! lol”

[@arempy5836]

That dream reminds me, at least at the end, of the Myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. Orpheus loses his lover, Eurydice, and ventures into the underworld to rescue her. He plays a song for Hades and Hades makes a deal that Orpheus can lead Eurydice out of the underworld but if he looks back at her before they've gotten out, Eurydice will be lost forever. They travel to the surface and Eurydice's voice grows fainter and fainter until Orpheus can hardly hear her. Orpheus exits the underworld and finally looks back at his love, but she's inside the cave. Eurydice is pulled back down into the underworld forever. The infinite rooms with people roaming them reminds me of the story "The Library of Babel" by Jorge Luis Borges. The universe is a giant Library of hexagons where every book that could ever and will ever be written sits on the shelves. People are born and live there entire life there, roaming the halls of gibberish books. That basement I think holds a secret or at least symbolizes a secret. It's something dangerous, which would be why those SWAT guys are going down there. Something important to the female that you want to learn but are afraid to find out. You tried to help her find herself but you lost her in the endless labyrinth. I don't know, just one interpretation.

[@ryanparker260]

I wish I knew what inspired it. It was wild.

[@5555petros]

Why am I not surprised that Widowmaker and yoga pants are a part of Jesse's dream?

[@ChristmasCrustacean1]

Jesse getting abducted by aliens occasionally and run through the same scenario every time. meanwhile Mathas is like "gee I wish an alien would abduct me"

[@benjaminrivers4121]

That first story about the moon immediately reminded of the Local 58 videos. Edit: Jesse's dream sounds amazing! I would love to experience it myself!

[@RufusOmega]

I had exactly the same reaction to Executive Decision as Jesse. I was there to watch Steven Seagal kick the shit out of people, and then he died right near the beginning and I was just "the fuck?"

[@augustvalek]

"anything outdoorsy and manly about me died when the boy scouts took me camping" Phrasing If you wake up and perceive some crazy shit is called hypnopompic hallucination, is like you are still dreaming while waking up I have had a lot of hypnagogic hallucinations (right before you fall asleep)

[@jameswarner5878]

Not quite bedtime but I've got about an hour of snow blowing to.

[@Scp716creativecommons]

With this show, I'd rather spend that hour blowing snow😤😂. Well ones too damn spensive, the other pays the bills.. actually, second thought, sposed to be getting some weather soon, I should save this show for the truck

[@xKinjax]

Any "viewer" related content is untrustworthy. Asa quick example, in another "viewer story" from about a year ago a viewer talked about a vanished woman from Australia that was supposedly kidnapped by aliens and pretended to had personally known the woman. In fact it was basically the viewer stealing the story of "The Watervale Runner", that was featured on a "paranormal activity" channel called Bedtime Stories a year before, and inserting themselves into it. A story that funnily enough had already been debunked in the comments of the original video.

[@xennariel4414]

My story was actually an article I wrote elsewhere and linked on the Chill Reddit and Discord because I didn't know where else to post it where the guys would see it.

[@shoutuckerdidnothingwrong]

Right? Especially the ones that read like a creative writing student's assignment. Those are a dead giveaway.

[@B6B]

These really help get me through the day, thanks.

[@dougalllen5456]

Life that bad??

[@Malaco_]

The dream about the house with the many rooms sounds like the book House of Leaves.

[@dullsmile0]

I was thinking Redemption of Althalus. Good call on the House of Leaves though.

[@ryanparker260]

I've heard of the book, but I never read it. I wish I knew what had inspired the dream.

[@an3582]

Isnt it just a Backrooms creepypasta?

[@JoshSweetvale]

22:50 The intro for _Reign of Fire_ is beat-for-beat the same as Misato's experience of Second Impact from Evangelion. Parent digs up antediluvian apocalyptic progenitor monster. Parent loads kid into escape machine; dies horribly. Firestorm. Then the world ends. Mostly.

[@FloofersFX]

If you wake up on your back, from a nightmare and there's a dark shadey character nearby and you can't do anything about it, that's textbook sleep paralysis, I've been there too many times.

[@mjfrancis1626]

Exactly what I was gonna say

[@Invalidationcoded]

Yeah the way they described feeling like they "woke up a second time" was a dead give-away lol.

[@jessikat_17]

I use to keep a dream journal because I use to have these elaborate dreams that I thought would make fun stories or movies, especially the nightmares. Since I now take sleep meds to regulate my sleep, narcolepsy man, I don't really dream or at least remember them. The only recurring dreams I would have were when I was little but that's because of childhood trauma more or less, not something wild like what Jesse has. Love that what woke him up was this dream woman's fine ass XD

[@scribeofhorrors1269]

Perfect early morning gift

[@james13sylar]

Jesse's dream could work as an virtual game once we advance a bit on them, you go to sleep and connect to a mechanism that will stimulate your brain so you can explore that "park". You just have to be aware and agree voluntarily to the fact that you'll never again will know what is reality and what is a dream.

[@kyllistin]

At 30min I was not expecting Orson Wells to come read us a story.

[@CaleTheNail]

Every time my dad and I would work on stuf in the garage he'd have his western compilation album going. Like big iron and el paso and the like. Years befor fallout new vagas popularized western music to kids my age i had heard these songs a million times.

We can't stop here. This is pterosaur country.

[@customercareskeleton]

did Jessie tell his story before on Cox and Crendor? I feel like I heard it before

[@joaogomes9405]

He did on last week's episode. In fact I think the episode is called something like Jesse's Weird Dream

[@viking8796]

I think he's been telling this story for awhile, since it's a recurring dream.

[@WoWForgiveme]

am i the only one who notices the noise that sounds like a fly buzzing or electrical current am not sure how to describe it but this is the third episode i notice this noise and its driving me crazy

I'm listening the show on headphones and at first I thought my gear broke. But now I believe one of the guys recording equipment started to broke down.

When I make my millions on GME, I want to tag Jesse to make his story to his complete creative control for a short film.

[@jcallz]

Does Tom Petty count as a dad rock musician? Because he's my favorite ever and I saw him in concert twice. The first time - get this - ZZ Top was the opener (also Regina Spektor).

[@alexolson9317]

Yes yes !! Perfect timing. I LOVE U GUYS 😜

[@Xgckl]

Copying my interpretation of Jesse's dream from when he mentioned it during Cox & Crendor, because I'm lazy: I think the judgement about Jesse's dreams being about his problems with women is spot on. He dreams about his "wife" operating on him because he's afraid a woman in his life would want to change him and not accept him how he is. Then there is a clearly perceived barrier between him and women both with the secrets she keeps from him that he can never quite reach and her outrage over something Jesse can't clearly understand. It makes perfect sense for him to shoot monsters with a gun but there's a clear misunderstanding between the two, which is something he clearly fears. But the fact this all happened in a scenario he realizes, even in his dreams, is entirely constructed means he doesn't quite believe this is reality. This might be the reason behind the Widowmaker figure, which is a fictional portrayal of a woman (with a nice ass).

[@bagrym]

i think the shooting the monster part is a bit different. i think it has to do with a gaming component as a part of his job with which jesse thinks women might have a problem

[@Xgckl]

@@bagrym Can be both. Either way it's about his relationship issues.

[@ChristmasCrustacean1]

haha, yes meanwhile Mathas is like "gee I wish an alien would abduct me"

[@Kabissz]

If they get enough good quality feedback episode 101 could (should) be the deep dive into Jesse's dream.

[@Mifoe.]

It's confirmed, Jesse is getting abducted by aliens quite frequently, and is implanted with similat dream scenario every time.

Probably did in Cox n Crendor, Jesse has talked about his dreams there a few times before, if I remember correctly

[@jmlindsey90]

As the son of a psychologist, I'd love to have a little QA session with Jesse to talk about some themes in that dream. It would be informed speculation at best - fascinating informed speculation.

[@Brodolf_Gainzdeer]

Hey, I LOVE listening to creepypastas. No robots though and most of them have voices that just annoy me. Mr. Creepypasta and Dr. Creepen are my main 2. I do also listen to a lot of SCP readings though. They're like audiobooks but I get too involved in my audiobboks so I can't listen to them and sleep.

If no one has listened to Tales from the Gas Station, I cannot recommend it enough. It is amazing

[@DrSpikeSpiegel]

The "House of Many Rooms" story sounds like he was thinking of the bible verse: "My Father's house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?" (John 14:2). Particularly relevant since he said his father had died. Jesse's dream sounds like he just wants to play video games with his catgirl girlfriend.

[@williammccallum4760]

Spoiler: ALRIGHT, so listen Mathas continually talks about how aliens will replace the trauma of being abducted, and experimented on, with a false memory or vision that makes the truth more bearable for a mind. Jessie has had this dream "A hundred times". Its always a variation of the same thing. I posit, that the beginning of dream, when he is being operated on; he may actually be, being operated on. His guts/his legs/ his eyes. Presumably alien medical technology should be able to detach and reattach his legs without his knowledge. Maybe that's why he doesn't remember the entirety of the dream. Because the beginning is the only part that actually happened. The rest is merely a buffer to protect his mind. Just a fun theory. TL;DR: In spite of being a non believer in abduction; Jessie is the only one who has actually been abducted, or something like that. Again, just a theory/interpretation of his dream.
