Why We Dream - Science Documentary

I had a bunch of weird dreams, woke up, put this video on and fell asleep again, and I was hearing the video about dreams play inside of a dream throught my dream phone and I couldn't pause it no matter how hard I tried because it was playing to me irl 💀💀

I don't have sleep paralysis but I have had distressing false awakenings, and I find that there's a strangely small amount of literature on that. I had a horrendous false awakening dream back in 2019 where I woke up into 3-4 different dreams, and in the last one, I was chased by a demon named Calduze, and when I woke up FINALLY in reality, I was legit looking out my window and everything to make sure it was the real reality. I was legit in a weird psychotic break for like 2 minutes upon waking. And of course, throughout high school (i went from 2011-2015), I had dozens of dreams of getting ready for school, only to not actually be getting ready of course... Lately, as of March 2026, I've just been having a lot of cosmic dreams. Giant red moons, black holes made of Ophanim angels, Saturn being visible in the night sky (as the full planet, not just a "star" in the distance). Ezekiel ain't got SHIT on me.

my most recurrent dream is that i’m still in high school but the building is my middle school and im always trying to find my locker and i can’t remember the lock combination😭

Legendary YT pull to fall asleep to. Night boys

Fell asleep to this and woke up dreaming

17:41 Just did exactly this. A few minutes i only remember what i wrote and not the actual dream

My mum always used to say that eating cheese at bedtime causes nightmares 🧀

Sounds like something AI would say...

Last week, I was taking a nap on the couch and awoke to the bizarre realization that my vision was stuck on the same frame, not responding normally to the environment around me. I could still move my eyes and look around, but when I moved my hands or turned my head, the image I was seeing wouldn't update at all; it felt like a video game glitch. I even lifted my arms to do the YMCA dance, but my hands appeared exactly as they were when I woke up—clasped together and resting in my lap. Then, in an instant, I realized I was experiencing sleep paralysis: my vision was working just fine, but my body movements were being hallucinated. It wasn't scary at all; rather, it was one of the most fascinating experiences of my life.

3:14 already too spooky to fall asleep to.

Me watching a video about dreams at 3am as I refuse to sleep: fascinating

When I was suicidal, I dreamed that a deranged man was chasing me through a vacant, isolated parking lot with a noose, trying to kill me. I was the part of me who wanted to live, the man was the part of me that wanted me dead/out of pain, and the parking lot was my mind. I was screaming for help, but the man almost had me when I woke up.

If you knew this channel, you wouldn't need to question whether or not it was AI. Fire of learning is really a marvel of information transparency

30:07 bro 😭😭

I often dream that i am fluent in a foreign language, especially Russian of which I have no knowledge. I also awake with a song I have composed in my dream. Fascinating

This video is proof of time travel

thank you this video helped me to know more about dreams👍

I’ve always had extremely vivid dreams from childhood to today.I have recurring dreams so vivid and so often that I can actually navigate my way around these dream maps.Theres one were I’m in a shopping mall and I can navigate my way to shops that I want to visit.Some dreams I can fly but it’s so vivid and real that I’m careful not to fly too high incase I suddenly fall,or hit a power line.

Sorry to say, but I am using this video to help me fall asleep.

I fell asleep 15 minutes into the video and had a very vivid dream of a me and my cousin getting into a car crash twice, while je was driving me to the airport. My aunts dog and my grandparents cats were also in the car. And we crashed into the fence of a mental institution. I woke up, the video was over
