The use of Minecraft music in this video is perfect, Minecraft gives such a creepy lonely vibe if you play depressed or something, really feels liminal

Man, "Life is the most beautiful movie we will ever get to see" hits me so hard. The effort put in this video is amazing. Good job!

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!

Am I the only one who’s dreams don’t look like these types of places? I mean, the things that happen make no sense but they just don’t look like that

This was so well-made. Your channel is unacceptably underrated

the utopian scenery in movies are always so eerie, so creepy. Our conception of utopia is certainly not the right one since it feels wrong and scary. As always a wonderful video essay, truly an underrated creator with beautifully constructed videos. Continue blessing us with these.

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 don't think it would be wrong to say that this video is very very well researched and very well-made.

Wow I was expecting a small essay about dreamlike scenes in movies and got hit with a real message. Really got me emotional with this one. Awesome work.

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. My dreams are so important to my sanity Amazing video , anything that has to do with liminal spaces , back rooms and dream core for some reason simply gives me a lot of …. Peace

I think the parallels you manage to find between totally different topics and how you explain the obscure connections between those different fields, is a really special talent. These videos are so good that trying to describe the experience is another whole experience by itself, so thank you a lot for your phenomenal work and for sharing.

I personally have always found these topics super interesting, and I've never found any channel that covers them this well until now. please never stop posting! all of your videos are just brilliant to watch!!

Something incredible about doors: While lucid dreaming the best way to go to a specific place is to imagine that place behind a door. Opening that door has without a fault effectively taken me to wherever i wanted.

What a terrific video. Just speaking about these profound moments in the films you mentioned is moving. That and the score you used brought it all together. Well done!

This video explained it very very well. The feeling that you get was explained perfectly. I loved how you put it in a cinematic aspect too. Amazing job.

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

This video was shockingly inspirational and amazing, it felt like watching a full hour long documentary but it was only 19 minutes! Keep making videos, this is talent here!

This video was so good that it made my breathing like 2 seconds slower
