How your Brain Comes up with Dreams 

If you have the stomach for it! (Better be working in your "passion projects" on the side! 😂

It truly is a dream job

I’d take that as a side job anytime 😂

I just realized the reoccurring nakedness would not seem abnormal to a dog.

@@Robynhoodlum the dog’s just missing his collar

It's the little things that make for a great performance!

Paul's more casual clothes indicative of his more casual attitude to his job

@@sands7779 Exactly! They said something similar in their Patreon video that showed them deciding on costumes for this sketch.

I was wondering, did Hog just improvise the walrus on the spot or did he write that all down in the script and then act out like he was improvising? Brilliant either way. Lol

😂

That would be a great follow up

I mean if you want to maximise suspense, "You know how he accidentally saw that one horror movie as a child? let's just make a dream where he is just walking around but sees the main villain everywhere he looks." "What does the villain do?" "Nothing, he just stands there. Menacingly. Should keep things going for a while." "But what about the scenery?" "Just his commute on repeat. He does it so often he won't even question why he is just going back and forth from school for 4 hours straight."

The ten minutes of random chasing is super familiar for me 😅

"Jump scares are a classic, but it's played out. We have to innovate. Psychological horror is where it's at. Leave a lasting impact AFTER they wake up" "But how do we do that?" "We go Meta" "As in the Metaverse?" "No no, that's much too confusing a scary. I'm talking we break the fourth wall, tell them they should wake up soon" "Ohh, and something is chasing them, we don't know what but something. Yeah that'll get them good!"

@@foilarmsandhog in my head Paul and the other guy work together... so it's always extra weird for me when something absurd happens and I had actually dreamt it ... the feeling I get is profoundly unsettling. Like one time I dreamed my cat escaped from her leash into some brambles near a castle and Vlad the Impaler was there ( he looked like Luke Evans) and all my dead turkish ancestors and then my cat was rotting with maggots and I picked up her body and it fell apart... later that summer I had to bury a dead stray cat and my cat did get off her leash near a restored citadel (that looked exactly like the one from my dream, but I had never been there or seen it before) and I tried to stay calm and managed to find her in the brambles... did get some cuts from them though.... just like in the dream.

Raises the question - do dogs feel embarrassed in dreams in which they walk around naked?

@@slyasleep also do dogs run around to catch a bus

​​@@slyasleep I'm going to guess not as they are always naked, probably more embarssed to be wearing clothes

@@kaput_hodge Maybe the dog was dreaming that it was human? Or maybe it was trying to "catch" the bus as if the bus were an extra-large squirrel....

Spoiler 😅

He can make us love and hate his character in the same line, he's great that way

It’s almost an intentional warning. “Once you stay here this long, I’m what you’ll become” Noted! Have a good career but I’m good!

One could say that boss had let his dreams die! 😜😮😭. And stayed around to try to make sure the same thing happened to others.

hahahahahah that is absolutely hilarious

Haha amazing. The most interesting part is that your brain somehow connected a flying whale with powerlines.

@@roland9367 I guess we could say it was Paul's idea🤷

I have long been convinced this is exactly what my brain thinks it's job is overnight - just to make up the most no nonsense crap to mess with me so my head stays occupied. Doesn't matter WHAT it occupies itself with! 😮🤔😳😭

@@IngleseconAnna good dreams are from allah, do not be conned by this video of lies.

Thanks for watching and commenting Malin

Cheese?!? Scrooge calls Marley a nightmare brought on by a bit of undigested cheese at the beginning of their meeting in ‘A Christmas Carol’! Cribbing from the classics, boys?😉😂

Imagine thinking scientists can figure out where dreams actually come from

@@deusvult6920 Thanks for the constructive feedback keyboard commando.

@@malinakalando1987 stupidity doesn't deserve constructure feedback. It should be mocked and ridiculed

Not plausible, Hog would paint the giant frog pictures, promise them to the FAHns, and then they would never get sent. 😂

Big gerald vibes

​@@foilarmsandhog lol

@@foilarmsandhog definitely having that printed on a t-shirt 🤣🤣🤣

Excellent dream! 😂

Agree about the brilliantly acted. That was one hell of a feat to pull off - constant talking over each other.

Implying you would know. Anything you’d like to tell us? 🤔

I am also "working" here. Please. Send. Help. Argh!

Budget cuts maybe. 😜😁😭

Once a year for me easily

@@foilarmsandhog do you book a dental check up after, just to make sure it's unlikely to become a reality?

For us having the teeth fall out in a dream means something bad is gonna happen and usually it means death or the loss of someone. Like when my sister had that dream, oddly enough after a few days, my grandfather passed away 😬😅

OMG! Emma suggested ‘teeth falling out’ as part of a dream script on Patreon yesterday, and I thought, ‘Yikes! That would be a real nightmare!’ Had no idea that was a common dream!

Mine don't fall out, they kinda crumble so I have to spit them out then get back to whatever I'm doing. It stopped when my relationship ended.

Well done you!

But then again, the idea of dog dreaming about being 'naked' is a bit far-fetched.

@@aliya_punkenglish Shaved?

Clearly you've not met Cooper!

@@foilarmsandhog Are you aware that Bunny, the talking dog, is sometimes sharing the content of her dreams? It's fascinating!

I loved the shirt

WAHOO!!

Cheers Gemma!

I love this! 😍 Thanks for sharing Gemma! 💙

I'm intrigued by the massive book shop. 😁🖖

@@rainydaylady6596 I dream quite frequently that I'm in a massive bookshop. With every book I could ever want and they're all reasonable priced! I always wake up feeling sad that it's only a dream! I've yet to find this mystical bookshop!

The back in University but not knowing where to go is a regular one for me

"Trying to merge in traffic on the highway while riding a robotic Llama" was one of my more unexplained ones - these guys are at fault, i know it.

Always wanted to keep a dream journal. How is it? Worth it? Any insights? :)

@@forfunwee Sometimes I know where the things in my dreams are coming from, like I can connect them to things I’m specifically anxious about. Other times, I just sit there thinking, why was I shirtless in a library, why did the dance studio have airport-style vending machines, and what was up with the green shampoo and President Joe Biden? Lol

Hello 👋 how are you doing??

Yes!

good call!!

Haha nice one, that's a great take 😂

Good remember!

@@SamFHntha I went back and rewatched the supermarket brands video, they never named Arms' character so it could be the same guy!

That really is the worst, when you are having an immensely engaging and well-connected dream that seems like it was an award-winning novel...then you wake up and realize you only got halfway into the book and you have no idea how to start it back up again.

Oh heck yes!! I have had those sprawling epic storyline dreams with the plot twists and foreshadowing (and in exceptional cases, continuity callbacks to prior dreams), that have made me really regret waking up because I wanted to see how the story ended, please tell Derek that his creative integrity and commitment are appreciated! Even though I always completely forget every detail the second I wake up.

Hello 👋 how are you doing??

And then you woke up, right?

@@LostSpringBand haha no it’s true, I didn’t say anything to him though because it felt disrespectful when he was just out to enjoy himself 😂

He's got it down to an art form!

I did 'acting baffled', a six week course with Kelvin Dawson. Cost 18k

@Foil Arms and Hog was this before or after Expressions College?

Arms has that character perfected! It was also great to see Foil do the manager character in a sketch. And Hog, of course, turns in another sterling performance. Esp loved Paul’s expressions as Derek was trying to explain himself early in the sketch, culminating in the side eyeroll at :52 😂 Also, the lighting was great on this, lads! You glowed!

@@foilarmsandhog I thought you were an expression genius according to Expression College 😂

We know!

Yeah!

AND a tie that's turned on its' back 😆

That can spoil the illusion, but we wouldn't want him any other way

The real fun would be if he was wearing the German swimming suit from the previous sketch.

Thanks for that very sweet message Sophie, really glad you had a good time too!

Yeah. What Sophie said. You guys should be on prescription.

He absolutely is

Absolutely. I love the livestreams too, but they have a new show to write, and while I miss seeing the lads messing in a stream for an hour, I'd sooner they get the new show right

Hey Bernadine, lovely to meet you indeed, thanks so much for coming along to the show!

Wow, a bit late don't you think???

Always 🙂

@@SamFHntha I'M SOORRY!😭

@@anjalovse He had to wait like what, 20 minutes for your comment??? 20 WHOLE MINUTES??? TUT TUT TUT! 😂

@@SamFHntha 20 seconds more like it😂

Yeah, I had one where i was eating my teeth

@@foilarmsandhog that’s absolutely terrifying

@@foilarmsandhog FAH - don't know if you'll see this. Here it is in case you do / if helpful. Serious brain science dream hacking techniques here: 1) for anxiety, do a brain dump in the evening - writing down all the stuff you need to do and make an action plan and to do list especially for the next day. This gets out of your head all the things you're worried you might forget. 2) in the evening, write down and do a self review of how the day went and what and how you can improve the next day, etc. Overnight your subconscious brain will work on how to improve those things and the next day. 3) for problems you're having trouble finding solutions for, write them down and what outcomes you want. Overnight your subconscious brain will work on figuring out a solution. (I literally have found things I've misplaced this way). 4) for unpleasant disturbing recurring dreams / nightmares, before bed, focus on your dreams, goals, to do list for the next day and what outcomes you want. Also, confront the meaning and or content of the recurring dream and figure out what you need to do to prevent it from actually happening and decide to and picture yourself doing that. Decide and vividly visualize what you want instead. Picture yourself saying no to and erasing the landscape of the bad dream and creating the one you want instead. Even meditate on the images and reality you want to bring to life instead. Reali life goals and dreams work for this too. This is a brain re-programming technique that many people have been successful with in getting rid of defeating, depressing and bad recurring dreams. Some other things that help - excercise and excercise that includes some cardio and stretching but also weight lifting / resistance training. This can increase the neurotransmitter Gaba in the brain. A healthy happy chemical. Also, following a consistent bedtime routine, taking a hot bath before bed, drinking a hot cup of decaf herbal tea, chamomile or just hot water. Some supplements that can help with sleep: taking 3-5mg melatonin, 3-400mg magnesium glycinate or other form (research the forms they do different things and absorb differently), HTP, and or 150-400mg ashwaghanda herbal supplement adaptogen.

@@foilarmsandhog I should not have read this right before going to sleep... Guess what I'm going to accidentally dream about 😬😶

@@foilarmsandhog Damn that's dark!!!

SOLD!

Ooh, I was already thinking Giant Cuttlefish, cos that's what we've got here. And I'd be on Team Leafy Seadragon if I could choose

Thanks Emma, new style we're trying out

I'd love to see more of this dynamic (Arms pitted against a Foil & Hog team) in Hogwash, Swines had a lot of Foil Vs Arms & Hog! So much so that Foil even commented on it once on stage, after A&H were messing with a sketch a little too much ...

@@Heleendje I thought about that too. But I guess performing is a different cup of tea as opposed to writing.))

We tend to switch roles pretty regularly in instances like this, which is good for everyone!

In the accents sketch its like that

@@foilarmsandhog true but I don't count that as a Swines sketch 😄

The Snob offered to share his copious amount of smelly fancy cheese, but nobody ate any of it so he had to eat it all..... and now he's in a cheese fueled weird dreamscape.

You're "trying to hard!" 😁😂☹️😭

Sleep well, and enjoy the lie in

Haha, neither toucans nor snakes are in Ireland so I think you're good... Outside of your brain anyways 😂

Fantastic, thanks for coming!

Hello 👋 how are you doing??

Thanks!!

Delighted for you both!

Hello 👋 how are you doing??

She was a great conductor! 👍

there, I knew it, I recognised you straight away from this photo!

Ah! So you’re the favored child!😇😂 Your mom was wonderful!

@@foilarmsandhog 😅 Thank you? I guess, I can't change this profile picture now 😬 In all seriousness...I was always going to return your props 😂

@@andrea8764 Thank you. I just asked her to make me a cup of tea and she said yes! I must be coming up in the world 😂

"With zero accountability!"

actually, sums up human life

My dreams are definitely better off for NOT having the 2am & 4am alarms to watch said live streams though! 😆

Live streams? Yes! Yes! YES! YEEEEEEEESSS!!!! please 🥺

We'll see, up the walls with Hogwash now!

@@foilarmsandhog ahh mate that’s understandable. We’ll happily enjoy them whenever you can

I love the streams too, I'd quite happily see them sit and read through a phone book!

Spoiler!!!

@@FrankSerpico29 bruh. Just don't read the comments before the video?

Hold on, I'm coming over to test you by throwing a stick and telling you to get it.

I've been planning my Edinburgh Fringe yesterday evening. There's so much to do! You can use a full couple of days to draw up your agenda!

Get well soon Emily.

yikes, get well soon!

@@foilarmsandhog Thanks :D A good laugh works wonders, that's for sure. Have a wonderful day!

Get well! We need you at the Fringe! (That's not the only reason to get well of course but a pretty good one!) 😜

It's quality over quantity

If the obsession ever gets too much, just make a new account 😁 Uhh, I mean, be a normal person.. Or whatever 👀😂

@@SamFHntha We don't do normal here 🤪

Thanks Annika!

Alas, I too regret that each of us have but one subscription to give for our country, I mean FAH. Unless of course, we make the multiple accounts! 🤔😂

I'm fairly sure the early Hogwash table reads were the inspiration for this and I'd loooooooove to be a fly on the wall :p

This last sentence makes me so incredibly happy! 😍🥰😘❤️‍🔥

@@_Miri_ I was thinking about you and some others typing it 😘

@@gimmethatplease2224 ❤️

It'll take a while for it to get to Swines level... just an early warning

I want holiday pay

@@foilarmsandhog your reputation precedes you so..I'll agree 😁👍
