The Dream Episode | Trash Taste #88 

“Just in case I was fighting that dragon that could only be defeated by racism” 😂😂😂 that was a great one Connor

Joey: "I understand why you think that way, I just don't agree with it" *_that one line sums up this entire podcast_*

Even in his own dreams, Connor can't immerse himself in the story.

Garnt : Dreams in 4k with deep world building Connor : Dreams in 480p with oblivion npc

Imagine Garnt just living his entire life and dying of old age, just to wake up at the exact moment he had that inception dream.

Garnt: "I don't dream" Also Garnt: *procceds to tell all his dreams.

1:13:15 I love how mudan is also playing with the weird coincidences of Joey and garnt adjusting their seat

“I felt something coming” Josh and CDawg: *giggles*

My last Trash Taste episode before heading off to basic training. I've watched every episode since you guys first began this channel (and I've watched more than half the episodes twice). You guys have carried me through thick and thin and really helped motivate me these past few years, for that I just want to say thank you! Edit: Thank you everyone! I'm leaving for my flight right now but the encouragement/tips really help with the nervousness. Also, not that it really matters but I'm a girl haha, still thanks for all the kind words! I'm really gonna miss the weekly Monke, Grant, and Josh but I'll be happy to binge episodes when I get back!

Once I got sleep paralysis and instead of a demon or stuff I saw flames in my room.... the most pathetically fake, cgi generated, 480p like flames ever like even a mediocrely edited youtube video would have had more realistic looking fire so I wasnt even panicked, just dissapointed like damn even my sleep paralisys is low budget

1:09:34 Hi, therapist here. Dream analysis and interpretation is kinda in the "fun to discuss, may hit on some useful insight here" category of theories and techniques we use. I'd steer clear of "professionals" claiming that there is an exact meaning or symbolism to everything. What you'd sooner see in the mental health field is working on sleep hygiene (real-world habits and behaviors that can affect your sleep, potentially helping with nightmares/sleep paralysis/night terrors/etc.) or processing things like anxiety, trauma, etc. through sleep disturbances and dream content. Connor and I might have a conversation about how he always dies in his dreams, but we'd sooner collaboratively explore what his mind is telling him and what real-world thoughts and feelings may be expressed here, rather than me telling him straight forward what his dream means. However, I'd say it's probably because of jump king. On a separate note, there are reality checks and other exercises you can do to lucid dream more effectively and consistently. This is not a therapeutic approach, and I don't recommend it. The more you lucid dream, the more likely you are to wake up abruptly, which can cause sleep paralysis and then you might hallucinate and see Connor in his Beastars cosplay. 2:02:29 I'd be happy to "psychoanalyze" your dreams, though this isn't something that can be done in the comments section. It's a conversation with a shit-ton of follow up questions about your history, daily life, emotions, views of yourself and the world, etc. John, Grant, and Sebastian therapy episode?

Dentist here! The smell comes mostly from the wipes/disinfectant we are using in our offices (I am using hydrogen peroxide at mine). As for cleanings, you should go twice a year at least. Pro tip: you can always ask the dentist/hygienist to reduce the power of the ultrasonic scaler if the noise annoys you during a cleaning. Nightguards will prevent teeth wearing from clenching/grinding, but also from jaw articulation problems on the long term. (Connor, for your nightguard, you can ask your dentist to trim it a bit to make it more comfortable.) Btw, love your show and it makes my fridays more funner! Keep up the good work boys!

This episode made me realize that they either never had biology in A levels or they forgot about infectious and non-infectious disease

Connors such a gamer that he even respawns in his dreams

I agree with Connor. If someone asks me "when was the last time you got ill?", I'm thinking of the last time I had a virus, like a cold or flu, not the last time I got food poisoning.

"Poorly stored sausage" - An Autobiography by Connor. "I was living a dream: Jerk yourself awake" - An Autobiography by Garnt. "I'm in an ambulance!" - An Autobiography by Joey. "I shit myself" - The story of Trash Taste.

Naming these sorts of episodes “The _____ Episode” is legitimately really useful for archival purposes, should this video ever need to be referenced again. Thanks, whoever does that.

The entire time they were arguing about the food poisoning it could've just been solved by stating he thinks it's a different kind of illness because it's not contagious

I once dreamt about a close friend who had died a couple of years back. Got to tell him how much I missed him and got to hug him one last time.

I like how this conversation started by them saying they don't remember their dreams ever and then proceed to talk for over an hour about the dreams they have

Conner realises he's dreaming, he literally skips the cutscenes

So, that's what we know about Garnt at this point: - in his sleep he dreams about pissing a lot of times in a row when he needs to do it irl - he once had a dream, which he still isn't sure he woke up from - he also goes on toilet breaks way too often ... We all are living in a Garn'ts dream confirmed.

1:00:19 It's called "false awakening". And the scariest part about this when you first-time experience this is you actually TRYING TO WAKE UP BUT YOU CANT!!. The wake-up part feels soo real like it you waking up from your bed and going about your day, you even feel conscious of what you're doing but then something weird happens and you actually want to wake up for real but again, you'll just go back to start and dreaming again. Scariest sht I've experienced in my life

The more I hear Connor talk about this, the more it just sounds like Connor's dreams basically work as if he's playing a video game. He has respawns. He's apparently the only one with any kind of emotional complexity and everyone else is just mindless npcs. He's eventually aware that everything he's experiencing is fake, but even if he has superpowers or impossible things happen, he's still stuck within the bounds of the dreams like how in a video game you're still stuck within the confines of the game's mechanics and level design. They say you can't experience death in a dream because nobody knows what death actually feels like. I think you're limited by whatever you can at least conceptualize, which is why people can dream about impossible stuff like flying. In Connor's case it's just that his brain conceptualizes everything via video game logic, which is why he can "die" even though that's still not technically what they mean when they say you can't die in your dreams. Basically, the shock of the dream doesn't immediately knock him out of the dream like it does most people because his brain has an equivalent experience from which to conceptualize the idea: death just means you reload the level.

Connor speedrunning dunking on Americans 😂

1:51:15 Joey and Garnt are like qunatum entangled 😂😂 the amount of times they are in sync, even if they are further apart from each other

Connor's takes on dreams are the most relatable to me. The fuzziness of the details, the nonsensical sequence of events, spawning over and over, etc.

Connor: You're the host Garnt. Garnt: I'm the host with my hosts connor and joey

Garnt's dream: Sydney: Murders Garnt's family Garnt: Why did you do it, Sydney! Sydney: To test the limits of my abilities

Thisvis my favorite episode. I find it so interesting how diffrent each person dreams. I found out that not everyone has color or sound in their dream and thats so weird. I love the human brain

Guys! Keep a dream journal, write down what you dreamt right after waking up while it’s still fresh. Then at the end of the year do another episode about dreams, should be interesting xD

I like the implication that Connor just pulls a Re:Zero in his dreams.

Connor’s dreams are just video games, full of npcs, respawning, and localized frame rendering

About 3 years ago I literally have the inception dream like garnt lmao. Somethings weird always happens and then I woke up into another dream. The last layer of dream before I woke up, my mom said something along the line of “Have you not realized it yet?” and then I woke up shaking and drenched in sweat.

The amount of medical takes in this episode are making me realise what it feels like to be a chef and watch this series

Nobody is immune to the Trash Taste "must be on camera" rule. Not even Garnt.

Having an hour long discussion about dreaming that culminates in "Sleep pissing & shitting" is the most on-brand thing for this podcast.

Stop the video an click on this timestamp 1:32:32 You could turn this wholesome moment into a painting.

I was listening on Spotify when I heard to talk about dying and dreams and had to come to RU-vid to share my own experiences. One dream in particular I had a couple years ago in which I was a Mafia member guarding our bosses mansion when another Crime Gang showed up and started blasting. They had way more people and I was one of the first to engage so I got shot many times and went to ground. Dead. Only I remained conscious the entire time. I couldn’t move. I couldn’t speak. I couldn’t do anything, but I was aware of everything happening in my surroundings. I heard the gunfight continuing. I heard the rival gang boss give an evil monologue to our boss before killing him. I felt my body being dragged into a pile of other bodies. I remember just lying there amongst the pile of dead bodies for what felt like hours before someone set fire to the pile and we all starting burning which is when I woke up. One of the craziest and vivid dreams I’ve ever had and the first time I’d ever heard of dreams where you die but remain conscious.

Food Poisoning is for sure human error in a way that can be controlled. Serving food that is off or cooking it and thinking it will be fine is poor judgement. We took food poisoning/food bourne illness very seriously in all aspects of food production.

Connor: If they give me undercooked food it is their fault. Also Connor: Sees a pink Sausage and decides to still eat it.

Garnt on JRE: *I am the Messiah* 🔥 Joe: You ever done DMT?

Re:Zero also corrupted Connor more than I thought

While Connor was speaking about being stuck playing a game on his nightmare, I couldn't help but imagine a dystopian future where we are forced to watch advertisements inside our dreams in order to continue sleeping.

Connors food poisoning take actually makes sense to me. Food poisoning isn’t transmissible between two people. You can’t “catch” food poisoning in the air. It has to be gotten from something you ate.

The way I dream is like a combination of Connor and Garnt. Also, I've had the Inception-type dream two times in my life and both have been absolutely terrifying. At the begining you're like "oh so I was still dreaming haha", but when it's been like the 10th time you've tried to wake up, you just start panicking about the possibility of it never ending.

1:00:12 WTH, I've had this dream recently. Every repeat had scarily accurate details about my morning routine, but everytime I went further in the dream there was stuff that didn't fit into reality. reseting the day to my alarm clock going off, and starting the dream again as if I really woke up. I got stuck in that cycle for at least 10 times, and when I finally woke up I was exhausted.

“Cancer is the dark souls of illnesses” that is my favourite quote of all time

While the boys clowned on Garnt for saying jerk, he's actually correct. The term is 'hypnic jerk' and happens as your body is adjusting itself into stage 2 of Non-REM sleep.

Listening to the dream talk made me realise, the only times I can recall I’ve dreamed is often when I’m conscious yet I have a distinct sense of puppetry to my movements, often resulting in a death scenario. Outside of remembering I just time skip to me waking up. I feel as though I’m conscious about having dreamed, wether I can recall it is a different story.

I lucid dream basically every night. I'm pretty sure I soul travel to another world every night (not seriously). Sometimes in the day a part of the dream will come to me and I'll just remember it like a memory. It's so vivid. I have talked to my friends about dreams and they always say that they don't know they're in a dream until they wake up but to me it's so clear. Everything in my dream looks like the real world its just that things will change if I turn away for a second. Fonts will change if I'm watching a store sign, whole streets will become different streets or scenes entirely like it will be a beach, then a park, then a lake. Stairs will just stop being stairs. Don't even thing about going into an elevator cause that does not know how to work. Instead of going up and down it spins on its head lol (like somersaults) Sometimes in dreams I will just stand in a street and blink just to see how many different scenes will change and marvel at how my brain can change it so instantly. Imagine blinking and every time you open your eyes the world in front of you changes. I can fly at will (most times), Also in my dreams I'm immortal basically nothing will hurt me no matter what crazy thing is happening it will miss me. Plane falling from the sky, won't get me, bomb dropped on the city, im fine, middle of the ocean, I can breathe under water. I've been on some crazy adventures. I make it sound easy but I don't always have full control in every dream. I'm always aware that I am dreaming but sometimes it's like I'm just there for the ride. Most times to fly I'll just jump off a tall building but sometimes that tall building seems impossibly tall and i get vertigo and can't do it. Other times I'll have a task to do in the dream but because every thing keeps changing I'll be lost cause I don't know the way and nothing feels worse than not knowing the way to where you're trying to go. I'll tell myself don't turn around don't blink but you can't. One time I lost my brothers because one was behind me and one was in front of me. I turned around to call the one behind me and when I turned back the scene in front changed and he was gone. When I turned back to get the other one the scene then had also changed and the other one was gone and I didn't know where to start looking to find them cause both scenes were from two different countries. Anyway dreams are weird

Sydney learning about Garnt's dream about her murdering his parents. Sydney: Going buy more UB bodpillows and place them in the bedroom.

I'm a med student and I kinda agree with Connor lmao. I think food poisoning (foodbourne gastroenteritis) is definitely an illness, clearly, but what I think Connor's trying to say is that he doesn't count that as being "ill" in a typical year. When you picture being "ill" you typically think of respiratory illnesses so that's why he counts the flu or a cold as being "ill." I think there are many who have a similar perspective! Also, food poisoning is it's own category of gastroenteritis - foodbourne gastroenteritis.

I’m never conscious in my dreams but a lot of the times when I wake up (only when I can remember the dream) the dreams come in sometimes explicit stories with details that I write down. Sometimes I feel very strong emotions in my dreams. for example, I was in a situation of a worldwide sickness that kills people in 7 days or less(spreads to person to person very easily, can also spread through the electric waves that come from items like microwaves, idk, that was a fact in my dream/so we got rid of the microwave we had), and I was living with this girl that I was in love with(she looked like gaeul from viral hit), I traveled miles with her to her school and traveled back every day(no clue why she was still going to school) and the streets were deserted and the skies were always grey and dark. The “character” I was playing (my pov I guess) was a young guy with brown hair and he kinda looked like baam from tower of god, and I realized I had the sickness when I was at home and the girl was still at school, I fainted and then I woke up to the girl holding me in her arms, even though she knew she would get infected and die too. It was weird, because the love that the guy i was playing had for the girl was way more than what I’ve ever felt for something I did love irl, like it was overwhelming(cringy I know) to add on, the girl in my dream was really dumb and nice and an airhead and I wouldn’t like her if I knew her irl. A long time after my dream I still felt the feeling the guy had for the girl but I can’t recall it anymore. This was the first half of my long dream. the second part i was myself in my own body, in the same universe, and i had the very same disease. I can go on and on about my feelings and specific thoughts then too. btw, me, the girl and the guy were co existing (until they died ofc). (This was a very bad summary and I wrote way more specific details of what happened in my notes, ask questions about anything if you want)

I'm actually impressed at how those three didn't spoke about sleeping with their Wifu's In Lucid Dreams.

"How long does this food poisoning argument go?" *checks timestamps* "... Oh."

50:42 Joey's "thumbs up" joke did not get enough attention, that was great lol

These are only my readings that need to be taken with a grain of salt. Recurring dreams are often the ones pushed by your subconscious although some dreams are influenced by external stressors. Garnt's dream about Syd killing his family: There is an internal conflict in him that Sydney may be breaking his family. It may be because he is unsure if they fully approve of her or what she does. The metaphor of death could be attributed to pain or disappointment of a family growing apart. This may not be true irl, but it is a fear. Joey's: - since he was young, a dream of his had to constantly be out on the side. Unreachable to him due to certain circumstances. He feels like he was able to grasp it before but it is now a fleeting moment or something he has to give up because he found success in other things. Connor - Getting stuck anywhere in his endeavors be it in life or work is a pain. He has to keep up with the Jones' or else he'll fail. Getting in line or ahead is a priority. He does not like being at the tail end of things. Sleep paralysis and time sensitivity is actually connected to this. He likes being in control.

Really enjoyed the energy that you guys had when talking about your dreams!

"Have you ever had a superpower in a dream ?" "Yes all the time, but then I often die" Law of the equivalent exchange right there

20:23 I think Connor's thought process on illness is "If he can sue someone for getting him sick and win, then it is not an illness. If not, it is an illness.

"when I feel i'm getting ill I just say "stop body"" the only other person i've heard say this is Gavin Free on an RT podcast like 8 years ago so it might just be an british thing

Most people think to fight fire with fire, but Connor fights food poisoning with food poisoning.

Garnt: "I'm throwing facts here" While spewing 100% incorrect information, you gotta love it

Google: _only a minority of approximately 1% have lucid dreams several times a week._ *_Connor: So it's NOT normal for you to be aware you're in a dream??_*

in order to remember dreams you can either keep a dream journal where you record your dreams or literally you can just regularly talk about your dreams. both work to help you remember more

Connor watches his dream in Queen Bee quality whereas Garnt and Joey in Pink Pineapple quality

Connor's Illness arguments in a nutshell: 1. Somebody is held accountable (You or someone else). 2. You're very unlucky.

My weirdest dream experience: it was at one time when I deprived myself of sleep for 3 days straight, those days were pretty active and I moving the entire time. literally did not even take a nap for a minute. the moment i finally got some rest i almost went into a coma. I slept at Wednesday afternoon and woke up the night of the next day. almost 28 hours of sleep. but the special thing is, i was entirely aware of the dream and oddly felt i was losing control of my real self. so about 20 or so hours in, i had almost a full day of sleep now, and I started to be aware of the dream state. it was basically the happiest version of life i could imagine, it also felt really empty and no one there actually felt like a real human. by that i mean shit just happens but no one worries. because bad events simply fixed themselves or straight up got deleted or reset before happening. so I do go with the dream for a while. I know I'm dreaming and I'm not bothered by it. but it was literally taking too long. I had the feeling that this was dragging on far too long. I try to wake up but I just cannot, so keep on trying. but the more it went on the more i was getting worried. i was actually thinking if could ever wake up again. the dream was weirdly kept going on and everyone in the dream ignored whatever i was doing. but I was legitimately, sitting down and panicking about how to get back. after what felt like an hour since I became dream conscious, I felt like I was hearing the real world. I could hear my phone calls and my alarms which has been snoozing and ringing over and over again. that was like a sign, I was hearing external noises. and I had real fear that I might be at a risk of entering a coma. so this time, I didn't try to "wake my mind", but instead I decided to try moving my body. with all my energy I moved my body and I actually fucking sat down. finally. I could now barely move my body and my hands. but my brain was not there. the dream was still ongoing and events and people were still there. so I just try to manually move my hands to open my eyes. and I was the weirdest shit I've ever been through. I opened my eyes and it was a weird image of my room and the dream overlapping in my brain, both at the same time. it was super surreal, it started to give me headaches very fast. and in confusion I kept blinking so hard. for a few seconds, one time I blink and I see the dream world and the second time I blink I see the real world. The headache quickly took over me though, and then it was all that was left. I was finally awake again. I was super exhausted and didn't find a way to process whatever the hell I just went through. what's more than that, i was now scared of ever going back to sleep. It was at night when I woke up, i did not go back to sleep that night. nor the night after. and halfway through the next, I was just too tired that I fell asleep. but it's still one of the weirdest things I've ever experienced.

I never thought someone could explain dream experiences as eloquently as Connor did.

Amazing episode. I love dreams. They give us the coolest stories, the weirdest things, the craziest action! Futuristic technologies, visiting other planets, meeting aliens, traveling time, really epic moments. I highly recommend everyone to try remembering your dreams. Then try controlling them. It is so much fun. So much control. Dreams are truly the worlds of wonders and paradoxes.

When you lost loved ones, like your parent, there are dreams that will occassionally come to you where dreams felt like a reality. The worst thing is in that reality, the departed is still alive and well. Then maybe in your lucidity, you remembered that the person died already, but then in that dream you are able to convince yourself, "oh, he is still alright, maybe the person just died in my nightmare" so you talked with your loved ones like you used to do, until you woke up, and you finally realised that it was just a dream. In one dream you walked out of your bedroom and he is there, greeting you. In another dream, you are visiting him at hospital, alive and well, conversing happily with you. In every occassion, it kind of messes your reality, but make no mistake, the real life is real life. Sometimes, I'm just grateful that I can have a chance to see my father outside the reality, but sometimes it is just a bitter reminder that he is already gone - you just don't want to forget, but you have to move on. That's probably like having a permanent scar in your mind, and that's alright. It happened for the first 3 or maybe 4 years, and then it is gone, becoming episodic occurence (like having similar themed dreams in 3 days row). After like 6 years now, I no longer experience it. You kind of missed it, but hate it at the same time for reminding you the sad things. It is definitely much worse compared to other scary dream, like walking in a park to a distant nuclear explosion (Terminator 2 scene), but you vividly remember about your lives flashing before you while the shockwave rapidly approaching. Being inside in a traumatic plane crash or train accident, only to wake up on your daily routine - a freaking dream in a dream inception - ah I'm on my way to school, you'll recognise the street, you are both happy that you are not in a horrible situation and panicking because you might forgot your textbook, studying for the test, or homework, but then you woke up to alarm clock and found yourself on your bed. You'll definitely know the feeling of dying in your dream, a mortar round exploded nearby, but it misses your foxhole, but then a tree is falling into you - bam! You are in dying state like apnea or something. Then you wake up to nothing. You woke up thankful that reality is much less messed up, but your dream isn't just as consequential.

This is probably a top 5 favorite episodes for me. This is probably one of their deepest conversation where they were serious in their fascination with how dreams work. Love conversations like these.

Legitimately, I had a huge argument over the food poisoning sickness thing with my friend named Conor as well, perhaps something larger is at play?

dude, connor's dreams sound so much like mine. the watching/acting part, the fuzzy vision part, the lucid dreaming part (though I have that way less than him), the low resolution world building part, the realizing you are mid-dream part, etc I've had a few Garnt-dreams too, but less so

I'm scared that I understand Connor's point about food poisoning. He's interpreting "How often do you get sick?" As having to do with your immune system, not whether something is a virus or bacterial infection. So while yes, food poisoning is bacterial or what have you, it doesn't really reflect your normal immune system so in his interpretation it's not getting sick.

Garnt's dream was literally inception. Waking up and not knowing if you're still in the dream or not. Actually terrifying omg

I have A LOT of dream experiences: - lucid dreaming - sleepwalking and talking - a fever dream that ended up in me walking up and immediately throwing up on my bed (horrible experience would not recommend) - vivid dreams - dreams of places I've never seen that we ended up going to in a later future (only happened twice but it was weird that it happened at all) - continuing dreams (good or bad) that I've woken up from The only thing I've not experienced is probably peeing in my sleep I've always woken up if I needed to go to the toilet - full-on movie plots with new characters and known ones (my family, friends, and people I've seen but don't know personally) - 1st and 3rd person dreams - 3rd person dreams that I'm not even part of - sleep paralysis (people say it's a traumatic experience but for me, it was kind of... relaxing I wasn't even able to close my eyelids but I just thought I'll wait it out I've got nothing better to do) - a dream in a dream Edit: Also, I've only experienced trauma once in my dreams (woke up crying and shaking, again would not recommend) but it never happened again cause my brain started giving me a cop-out in bad situations even if I'm not lucid dreaming For example, if I was in a terrible situation that was going to be worse (zombie apocalypse, chased by something bad, losing a battle, embarrassing public situation, etc...) my brain would be like here's the solution to your dilemma. Suddenly it's a constant barrage of good things until I wake up... It's like I have plot armour cause my body was like NEVER AGAIN after a single traumatic experience.

i relate to conor''s thing about resetting in a dream, when i was a kid i had a recurring nightmare where i'd fall in a pit of spikes, die, respawn and it'd loop until i actually woke up

I love how Connor is just sitting there while Garnt and Joey are talking about their girlfriends' sleep habits Edit: It's funny how I didn't know my comment got so many likes and comments till five months later but thank you lol

Regarding food poisoning: Yes it can be due to bad processing / hygiene. But every region has regional bacteria, that we grow used to. When you're in a new area, and come into contact with their bacteria for the first time, you'll get food poisoning/sick.

This is by far one of the best trash taste episodes. I really like it when you talk about things like dreams and philosophy

This has been uploaded approximately 11 days ago and this is, by far, my most favorite episode! I love dreams and talking about them! It’s always been so fun for me! I should be a dream analyst or something! Lol we need a Dream episode every once in a while so that you guys can share new dreams you want to share!

5:18 the way that Joey laughed and Connor looked at the camera and smiled is hilarious

I had a dream where I had sleep paralysis and when I finally escaped, I woke up on my bed to a window with closed blinds with a white light peering in. For some reason, I decided to look outside, but I couldn’t see anything other than white light. Then I woke up on my bed again thinking about my other dreams; I ended up wondering if this was also a dream, but I didn’t dwell on it because, for some reason, I felt unsafe in my room like something was about to get me. So I sprinted out of my room, not looking back when I reached the stairs; I preceded downstairs. I saw my dad on the couch watching TV. I one-sidedly asked if I could sleep on the couch next to him and it wasn’t until I was about to close my eyes that I realized; that the TV that my dad was watching was just a static screen and my dad was just a hazy blob. Then I woke up again on my bed wondering if this was also a dream. I’m pretty sure I woke up one more time during the sequence of dreams, but I can’t remember it. This is still hands down one of the craziest dreams that I ever had.

Garnt: I remember something's coming- joey & connor: *_smirks_*

1:38:00 This reminded me of that interrogation scene from Detroit: Become Human. lmao "28 STAB WOUNDS! DIDN'T WANNA GIVE HIM A CHANCE, HUH?"

I think I understand Connor's point. He gets a cold like once a year every year, but he only gets food poisoning if he goes out and eats bad food. So he could just not eat that food or have it prepared better, but you can't really do anything to prevent getting the flu or a cold. Yes they're both illnesses but you don't get them through the same circumstances.

This is probably the most relatable episode yet, when garnt talked about the peeing in dreams thing. I totally get the feeling of it because ive experienced it myself. i remember i was drinking alot of water before to sleep because my throat is dry af and i keep coughing so i mustve drank like a gallon of water. Then in my dream i kept going back and forth to the toilet and just piss. i remember i was so angry too because this irritating feeling wont go away. Then when i woke up i legit just piss for 2 minutes straight on the toilet. So weird

Gartn: "i-i-i remember something coming" Conner: *smirks*

17:58 eating often becomes difficult for me but I will often eat a lot of fruit or anything easy to eat... but even some soft food are often difficult like bread, eating bread sometimes feels like a chore and taste bland. But yeah, that is the most common, I eat a lot, but not a lot of meals, maybe even finishing a meal later or the next day.

I've never heard, (just like Garnt said)such a in depth talk about dreams. Its one of those things where I think everyone experiences the same as me. But Connor is lucid dreaming 24/7, Garnt has character development

1:00:12 - holy *SHIT* Garnt's dream is actually terrifying. Someone should make a movie out of it.

I've always found dreams an interesting topic, so I really loved this episode. As a kid I had a lot of nightmares and because of that I actually 'trained' myself to wake up from nightmares as soon as I realize I'm dreaming. I hardly ever lucid dream though, and I'd like to keep it that way, because I like the randomness of my dreams. :)

I relate to Connor so much (about the dreams) 97% of my dreams (that I can remember) can be classified as nightmares, I die in each and every one of them, some I respawn in just like Connor, some are horrific and most just depict my life getting ruined. I wake up not caring, more often even finding the experience fun. Detail levels differ though, it's more specific to the dream itself. Some are really realistic, where every person in said dream is fully fleshed out, others are just horrors beyond human comprehension.

I never considered getting food poisoning the same as being ill. I would always say "oh no, I'm not really ill, I have food poisoning". This is so weird, I never thought people perceived this differently.

The worst nightmare I've ever had was me being on the North Pole for some reason and getting my skin ripped off by an ice bear. Somehow it also pulled me under the snow and it suffocated me while tearing my guts out. I woke up screaming, drenched in sweat. That's also the only dream I ever remember having.

Connor dying then respawning in his dream is so relatable cause I have so many dreams where I get killed and after that, my brain just moves on to the next storyline

In the last four months I have caught up to roughly half of all the podcasts. This is by far my favorite one.

What Garnt was talking about, when he said that he "hallucinates" between being awake and sleeping, actually has a name: "hypnagogic hallucinations", which are "vivid visual, auditory, tactile, or even kinetic perceptions that, like sleep paralysis, occur during the transitions between wakefulness and REM sleep. Examples include a sensation of impending threat, feelings of suffocation, and sensations of floating, spinning, or falling." I get those a lot, and I also suffer from insomnia.
