What the Hell is SOMNIUM DREAMVIEWER? - Series Analysis

[@SomniumDreamViewer]

Hi there! Thanks for taking the time to analyze my work. I always love watching videos like this, it's awesome to see people engaging with and theorizing about the stuff I write. Even more thanks for reading my short stories, I don't have any kind of analytics or tracking on my website so it's always nice to hear that people are actually finding and reading those. Also, I see people are ragging on your pronunciation of "labyrinth", but I will say you managed to pronounce Neznavca correctly, which a lot of other people making analysis videos apparently had a lot of issues with!

[@PaganValley]

It was an absolute pleasure to watch and read your work! I can’t wait to see what comes next!

Did you ever edit your videos to remove the real phone numbers?

[@croc-plunderenthusiast1396]

I had to call that health hotline myself after hearing you say "labrnyth" so many times

[@WobblesandBean]

It's a real phone number that has nothing to do with Somnium Dream Viewer. I think it's kinda messed up of this guy to use a real medical clinic and just allows people to call them again and again. But yes, the way he pronounced "labyrinth" makes me wanna Self Crit 🤦🏻‍♀️

My Grandmother has something like Sundowning or something and the idea is that during the day when she's around people she's fine. But at night, when she's alone, she has terrible hallucinations. She has told me stories of how her home was surrounded by zombies and all sorts of wild shit.

[@phrastro7075]

It would be a crazy plot twist that the grandmother had sundown instead of the dream disease thing. Sorry for your grandma though, I'm sure shes nice

[@jakestrider3565]

Oh! I know a bit about that, it usually goes along with dementia/altizimers (not always though its just most commonly comorbid with those, which is how i know about it). Sundowning is really something and I always feel bad for my residents who have it/have delusions already that get worse at night. I'm a CNA who used to do overnights and used to work in a memory care unit, so i've seen it in all kinds of people. I work evenings in long term care now so different residents but some of them do have sundowners.

[@Uncle-Jay]

@@phrastro7075 not really, which is what makes her care even harder.

[@samsalamander8147]

My Nana was partially blind on top of having dementia so her hallucinations would be extremely real to her. She had degenerated retinas so she only had her peripheral vision so like the opposite of tunnel vision. Her brain would fill in the blanks for her and it was terrifying to watch. She had Alzheimer’s and Vascular dementia, it was so hard watching her essentially die twice and the second death was a mercy. At first it would frustrate me and I would correct her but eventually I just gave in and pretended whatever she was saying was true because if I didn’t it was more destressing for everyone.

I think that the fifth scientist is the old man Cole encountered in his dream. If one of the people who created the Dream Viewer was trapped within in it, that would also be a parallel to Daedalus.

[@PaganValley]

That’s a really cool theory! Like what if Fowler and Somnium trapped the 5th scientist in the black prison? And ur right that would be similar to Daedalus’s story

I read about and trained myself how to lucid dream in middle school. I often look for tells in my dreams to be able to decide I am dreaming. Light switches don't work, doors don't open, text cannot be read and cell phones don't work. After awhile you don't even need to look for those tells, you just know.

[@Astrolovescrypto]

I havnt read much or trained myself. But when I need out of a bad dream I will tell myself to yell for my husband and when he hears me struggling he know to wake me up. I have also woke up and put myself back into the same dream. I have had layered dreams and had to wake my self up 3 times one of the times. No one I know personally has this issue.

[@ElementBouncer]

During the Nightmare Related Disorders section, when it shows the Work section of interpreting your dreams, you missed that the text at the bottom "Just remember - in a dream, you can always quit!" For a brief moment turns into "Just remember - in a dream, you're here forever!" before moving onto the labyrinth section.

[@RingoRoad]

you're telling me you've never even heard the word labyrinth spoken before?

[@deijix]

Forreal. Labyrinth is used almost synonymously with the word maze (“his house was a chaotic labyrinth of books and files”) and there’s multiple pieces of super popular media and literature with it in the title like the movie Labyrinth, Percy Jackson: Battle of The Labyrinth, and the og Greek tale of the Minotaur who guards the Labyrinth.

[@nibnubby]

Lmaoooo labrynith 😂

[@dunnkids7263]

personally i really dont think carol ever called the police, i think she dreamt / hallucinated it, and the voice on the voice on the otehr end was prodding at her to find out waht she was afraid of. it would explain why the operator was acting so strangely, and why her "husband" only ever broke the window after she had vocalized that she would be more scared if he broke in

[@lucks_zh5959]

,,Nesnavca" = "Not knowers" probably refers to the facility as being an institution for giving memories (probably false ones) to its inhabitants. Or something like that 😂.....

[@giveth]

Labyrinth is pronounced LA-BR-INTH

[@xxbabayagaxx1425]

32:57 - I don't think Beth was in the building itself in the chat exchange. The descriptions of Neznavca and the description of the Somnium offices are similar enough to me that I think comparing them is reasonable. maybe they didn't cover up the huge building -- maybe it was converted into the Somnium headquarters or research labs? EDIT: 37:54 - research labs for somnium are located in New Faribault, the same location that Neznacva. definitely built on top of the ruins/pulled from the same design philosophy. Maybe the black iron prison is located 'around' that area, physically or metaphysically. It might be the reason the architect was moved to create the building in that location, and why the building itself was a prison.

[@friendlyneighborhoodskinwalker]

A recent study using an MRI and machine learning was able to rudimentarily reconstruct the visual stimuli (videos) being shown to those undergoing the study. While many details were missing, the machine learning algorithm was able to get the subjects right and the resemblance was a bit uncanny. Not sure where to find more information but I’m sure it’s a quick Google. Shits wild

[@ricardojanate]

To be honest, i dont fully agree with your theory, i feel there is a mystical aspect going in the story. You completely ignored in the latest video about Carol they said that the door from ger house was actually broken down, so it means that her hallucinations where in some way real and/or affecting reality or there was a real person in the dead husband place while she was hallucinating. I generally feel like Somnium abilities are beyond natural, their weird dangeorus office, the don't get scared or be alone in their tapes, and giving the fbmi board nighmares (whiel they are obviously not using the dreamviewer). There is also the disappearances related to the black door, the lucid dreaming guy and the robber. And maybe its just me but the company and this type of technology gives me the feeling of 'messing with things beyond our understanding'. Here i have a small theory that they somehow "left" reality or were forcefully erased, with the robber being completely forgotten by everyone but the other robbers( he apparently doesnt appear in security, etc) or the 5th founder appears to be forcefully be forgotten, "the 5Fiives, based on their 4 founders" and their name apparently erase as well, there is also that scene that appears their names and if you look closely , it's like Name Name - Name Name With a space in the middle like it was forcefully erased. A hole in this theory was that the lucid dreaming guy wasnt erased, so maybe it's not only about the black door but something else as well. Maybe I'm wrong and I've misunderstood something, but i have a feeling that the potential in the story that its purely technological and Somnium is in full control of everything is less than something Lovecraftian and mystical (with the labyrinth and the origin of the subconscious.[?
