Hey everyone! Unfortunately, I am not currently able to record or work on sound design for new videos. So until i can, I wanted to post a few compilations for you. Let me know what you think of this one and what type of compilation you would like to see next. I was thinking of doing a compilation of my favorite stories. Checkout dzbz.farm/ code: Somnium
I genuinely love how Ronnie constantly interacts with his community, it feels like he doesn’t let the size of his audience affect how he interacts with fans, it makes him feel so genuine. To you, Mr.Somnium, thanks for making such amazing videos, you’ve helped me a ton, and I’ve been a subscriber of yours since 60k, I’m so proud to see how far you’ve come! Thanks for the best content on RU-vid. ❤
If you remember me ronnie, I commented on your previous video about my situation, turns out my life did a complete 180, i got selected in IMO and bagged a seat in IIT Bombay. I am grateful for your advice and work brother. Keep making these bangers
Rite now I'm fighting aggressive stage 2 cancer and when I'm in chemo and can't sleep because I'm sick or in pain i listen to your stories they bring me Comfort. Thank you so much for all you do ❤❤
My father today is his very last treatment very thankful for his team he has only had to go through radiation and hormone therapy that was enough so God bless you my dear and he will be in my prayers keep fighting respect beyond respect
Did I finish the whole thing? Yes. Have already heard most of the stories? Yup Did I still listen to those despite already listening to them? Absolutely! I really love you dark somnium, Thank you from the deepest depths of my heart. This is probably my first ever comment in any of you videos, I've always been a silent listener of yours, just liking the videos I listen to them. You've helped me a through a lot and I'm eternally grateful for you. You've kept me motivated and productive throughout the years, you're like the parent in movies who read books to their children before bedtime, which I longed for. You're literally healing my inner child. Thank you.
Man I just went through one of the worst opioid detoxing of my life and your channel really brought me relief and getting lost in your stories really helped the mental part of detoxing and even help me fall asleep during the ordeal And really brought me comfort in my darkest hour, thank you for what you do and as always killer video!
Hey man, this is awesome to hear. Good for you. That's a dark place to enter. So glad you're here with us. I have to do this myself...and I'm struggling to gather the courage. No family, so, it's extra scary alone. I admire your strength. Congratulations!🎉
@@lydmonster727 Thanks! And yeah it's hard with out support but you be surprised what you can do alone when push comes to shove and people willing to help there's resources out there
I have zero sympathy for you but here are some less common insights into ways to combat cancers (1) Retinoic Acid Receptor Beta. RAR beta suppresses tumours. You can activate this through Retinoic Acids like Accutane or Tretinoin. They have their own side effects but its better than dying (2) Mitochondrial Upregulation. There has never been a cell infected wifh cancer except it also has a weakened mitochondria. You can upregulate this by megadosing B Vitamins and some exercise. You can leave the pharmaceuticals to your doctor’s judgement. You wouldn’t have the resources to get them anyway.
Since I have been doing truck driving your videos have gotten me through tough times where I’m alone with my thoughts and my thoughts where not being nice. Especially this past few weeks, going though stuff that just is annoying at most, but i over think things and your videos where able to help me just distract myself till I was not so overwhelmed! Thank you!
@@Darksomnium thanks mate! I’m doing much better, I think a big part is I was getting lonely and had no one to talk to because i drive night shift on top of working 12+ hours a day. Btw do you have a favorite story or series you have done?
@@johnmcwick1 hey buddy I drive trucks to and I’m right here with you I’m a early morning 3am to 5pm driver and tbh I only really have nothing but creepypasta on my sub list I can give you some other creepypasta RU-vidrs to check out as well
@@Josh-p8z yeah that doesn’t sound fun lol. Also I’m down for more Creepypasta RU-vidrs, I recently found lighthouse horror, he has some fun narrations.
I love rule based scary stories, the dread you feel when you realized that the protagonist broke a rule is so real and visceral. I used to listen to them on creepsmcpasta or mr.creeps but ur channel is so good when it comes to scary stories. Still holding out hope for the author of the secret government prison to make "The Evisceration Matches".
@@nakime4866 I wish more authors would write things like the Nightmare Fighting Tournament and Secret Government Facility. It really is fascinating to think about all of the creepy crawlies that the author thinks up. I want to try writing an original creepy character in an arena-esque way but I get too hung up over the characters abilities and how they are unoriginal. ;(
I didn't pay much attention to which stories were connected when I first started listening here, as a result, I thought The Nightmare Fighting Tournament was the follow up to the Secret Government Prison story.
@@Darksomnium Probably the very first one (I’ve been squatting in a condemned highrise), I wish the author could’ve expanded more on its story or created a sequel
might be wrong, but you seem to not do a lot of this type of story, and they’re never straightforward “rules to not die” stories, which i really appreciate during the period when i tried to ween myself off of those stories, and you’re my favorite narrator
The 1st story is the 1st I heard from Dark Somnium me and my wife have listened to all your old and new stuff since then Ronnie, needless to say it has a special place in our hearts. One of our favs overall is the one with the Spider Forest and the Girl that is found as a spider hybrid years later, by the dad and childhood friend. We both cryed so much cuz we would of felt the same love as the dad in the story for our daughter even if she was a hybrid spider thing. The ppl you collaborate (especially T.J., Romnex, Spirit Voices )with and your ability to do several voices along with your ability to suck us into a story as if it is real life is spectacular. Never fail to amaze us with how your storys are brought to life. T.LD.R. -- My wife and l 💚 how you do what you do, 🧡Big Fans 💯 Thanks for what you do, much appreciated!!!
Recently my work has been bought out from the franchise owner to the corporate owners, and they're restring our freedoms on site. I will bo longer be able to listen to your videos to make it through the monotonous shifts, but hopefully can get a new job driving or something mindless because your work makes my work actually enjoyable. Cheers if ur reading this ronnie, we appreciate your hard work
Something is wrong with your Spotify podcast, the episode length may say 40 minutes but the episode is only 20 and half of it is filled with ads. The podcast episode will cut out in the middle of the story and never reach the full length of the episode.
I’ve been obsessed with your stories for over a year now. You are the only horror narrator I can listen to anymore. Your stories genuinely make my day, or long nights better. Thank you for everything you do Ronnie and keep doing it. I do not look forward to the day when you post your last story ever. If you actually managed to read this comment all the way through I have even more respect for you
6 hours of stories! WOOOOOOOOO! I have been following this channel for a couple years now and I love you stuff. It always brings me joy when I get to listen to a new story read by you. I have been wanting to ask if I could name a DND campaign after your channel. It's meant to be horror themed with a lot of No Sleep inspiration. Keep up the great work!! :)
Life is really stressful rn as I’m gonna be moving out to college soon….. so it’s always nice to have these to listen to 😅 Helps me de-stress EVERY single time. Anyways 900k soon then on to 1 million! Can’t think of anyone else who deserves it as much as you 🙂
Your narrations are worth more than gold! Honestly, I can’t bring into words how much they help. Every time I am down in the deep end I listen to you. Its calming and helps me focus to get through what needs getting through. I’m man enough to say you definitely helped me come back from drives I wasn’t supposed to come back from…. I’m very thankful for that. You help me and others through dark times and I hope you know how much you are loved and appreciated
yet again i was.desperately scouring your backlog of videos for one i havent listened to and you just happen to upload!! bless your soul somnium and goodnight
This compilation was like a opening a big Christmas present! Even though I've listened to them before, I find things that I had missed the first time. That was especially exciting when you used the Mansfield Reformatory in the Butter Street story! I'm from that area and have been there many times and have friends that worked there before they closed it in 1990. That was a treasure to hear it in the story!
8 hour+ compilations are perfect for me to out on as background noise to sleep to. Your voice is also good for this purpose. Also you don't usually have sound effects that are jarring to wake me up. Please do more, also you could make a play list of all the long compilations you make so they are easier to find to put on at bed time.
I guess this one wasn’t so bad but to be realistic, how can you sleep to this? I get the horrid most vivid fucking nightmare. I only do it in my commute to work from work and when I can working.
I adore The Whistler story. Ive replayed Somnium's video on it so many times. This listening, I dont know why, but my mind couldnt stop hearing The Rizzler rather than The Whistler. Forgive meeee
I literally listen to your stories everyday at work. For ten hours straight I will listen to you… thanks for the awesome story telling man! Keep up the great work! Much love
Does the story “I wrote a letter to myself, I got a response” have any relation to “I think my grandfather is a serial killer” cause I think I recognize the house of the claw cult in both stories?
Amazing work, as always! I hadn't heard the second How to Survive Hell story- super glad I put this one on for the work day. Hugely appreciative to you for the care you take with these stories. Thank you, sir!
cbd honey with thc ooooh, i wish it was legal here. And this is the perfect video for a long drive, loved the hell one from back then and still remember it. the highrise and the line are really good too, the others ive forgot and are worth a re-listen for sure.
4:42 i just want to say i love how you say turn for the "worst" instead of "worse" here because its a phrase i take personal issue with due to it undermining serious situations by default imo by using worse. Its like if in The last crusade, the knight said, "You could have chose better" when the guy picks a false Grail.
Love ur channel, Dark! I've been working on listening to this compilation but your voice is so soothing that I keep on falling asleep before I've even gotten to the rising action! Lol. Listening during the day now😅
Just saw the upload and I’m super excited especially since I’m about to head to work and with how long this vid is time will just fly by. Always love it when you upload these super long stories
@@Darksomnium doing pretty well, sorry to reply so late work has gotten intense around that time, still went through the whole story tho and I must say it was very good
I love the "Rules" stories. But your voice is something special. It makes the stories hit my heart and the feelings stay with me for days. Thanks for being you.
I take what I get sir! Especially when it comes to the really good stuff that none of us are entitled to. I'm just very glad to be able to have access to something like this even if it's on an "it's ready when it's ready" basis. I think most reasonable, not entitled people would probably agree. I think most of us can appreciate everything it takes for someone to create a new video, let alone to create new things in general to build the world up and bring the ear movies to life. Idk if you're even worried about that 🤷🏼♀️ Either way I think I'm more trying to say "Somnium quality good, fire bad." And thank you for not giving us content mill trash. 😂 I had to suffer many of them in this catagory of RU-vid before I finally found this channel. I'm still recovering. Lol We are indeed a blessed group of ear movie loving people. 👍
Hey @Darksomnium , I really appreciate what you're doing and You have been a part of my study life for like months now. And I wanted to type down this comment so that you remember me, and we will talk once again after I attempt the exams i have been aiming for. I am wishing best for your channel and your health. Keep grinding bro, I will write you a thanking letter once I get through this.(the exams)
*CBD honey?!?* I take Barney's Botanicals CBD gummies for chronic pain, but honey infused with CBD is NOT something I knew existed 🤯 I have "cheat" days on Friday and ALWAYS eat several tablespoons of honey with fried bread, SO I'LL DEFINITELY check out D'zB'z!!
Don't know about you but I really wait for something close to The Nightmare fighting tournament, some story with characters in which I am invested and with a great long story Hope you'll post again soon, until then good luck on what you need to do first :*
Honestly when you realize the Truth & the Twist of that 1sr story....it's SUPER Tragic, Bittersweet &, Sad all at the same time. Wish granted....forever Together, alway apart.
are these "strange rules" stories AI generated? there are SO MANY of them..... "i'm a security guard, we have strange rules", "i work in a space station, we have strange rules", "i bought a cucumber, it came with strange rules" wtf
Man dude, my favorite of all these stories has to be, How to Summon the Butter Street Hitchhiker. More than just bits n pieces, like a good majority of the story, is quite relatable to events in my own life, as well as stories from older relatives back in Mexico. I used to love the old stories as a kid, even though I couldn't sleep afterwards 🤣
Love this story, and have one of my own that goes with it. I live in an apartment complex and I have a dog. When we go on walks, we go through the parking garage to get to our room. I once found myself whistling that tune while walking through the garage, and didn´t realize that a young woman was in there too. She didn´t see me and absolutely freaked out. I felt very bad but at the same time, found it hilarious. Whistle gang for the win fellas!
Now this is no lie , I get pissed at certain RU-vid channels that tell the same stories over and over , and I’ll not listen for a month or two and go back to listen to new content , but there’s something about Dark Somnium , I’ve listened to some of these stories over and over , some more than others but they all have something different every time I listen , maybe it’s the cast of characters I don’t know , but I love to listen while I’m at work all day , the longer the story the better for me , but I’ll listen until it’s time to go home , I’m at work at 3AM and I leave at 2PM , the whole time , for the most part , I’m listening the Dark Somnium , for the past year , I’ve been listening , no I haven’t subbed yet , but I’m a dedicated listener. Cool stuff man for real. 👍👍👍✌️✌️✌️
"When he pulled hìs hood down i couldnt describe his face" goes on to describe the harbingers face The letter story sounded realistic with religious zealots existing, and predator men of course like the other Scott.i know they're a character but the Christy character sounded insufferable, lying to the dude making him feel bad thinking he's selfish for bein worried like wtf
Hey man love you work, and sorry if this is a little intrusive but I’ve been curious for a while now. What is your relationship with rom, I’ve really noticed her a lot on the channel and I think she does some amazing stuff here but are you like in a relationship or some sort of family, or maybe just friends. Thank you so much if you respond, I know you have so much on your plate. Again love your work, keep it up 👍
ok ill comment on every storyy 1st: so he might be the scientist right…i mean theres a high probability.he gave up his memory to bring back the woman he loved,right?! thats how the key appeared on his pocket because its hiss 2nd: i had to stop at 52:09 …i have a big BIG fear of hell and i just cant listen to that i felt like i was going to faint🥹just cant..i cant imagine the rape part everything it..just cant. i feel like throwing up honestly.
Hey I’ve been trying to catch an upload…love the work as always. I have a question, I’ve been looking for a story you did awhile back and I can’t find it. What was the story where the dude remembers his past life after an accident and he ends up killing some people by accident, There’s a woman who takes him to basically a demons domain and the demon tortures him but she sets him free? It’s my favorite story and I can’t for the life of me remember the name.
Surprised that the Left Right Game isn't in the "rules" compilation of stories, it feels like it would fit perfectly. I mean, I know why, since the video would be 10+ hours, but it seems wrong that it's missing.
Back in the late 80s ,Wow 😮 the eye in the sky if I haven't already sead it in a different video me and a friend both seen the eye in the sky as all the stars gathered together that was a night I can't never forget. 5/21/2024 JDP Underhill
Ok, I'm doing a double. Let's go! 7 hours... Whew. ** So far, this writer has a fun imagination! Would love to see them make a Silent Hill game, like this is S.H.: The Room.
Obviously its a story but the author just soujds like a gross person with how they talked about rape/women in the 2nd story. Just ew They did describe like every priest and most christains/muslims with the zealots though
Damn man! These are some of my favorites, lets go! Also cool to see that I've missed two of them so I get some new stuff to. Hope you're doing well man and congratz on the new audiobook, I'll be buying it when my next months audible credit comes in!
Hey big brother dark dream is the author from the few stories brought to us like how to survive in hell I know there was more than one correct I would very much like to hear some more from that guy very cool universe I remember hearing his second or third one and it might have been only the second about I can't remember the name but when a kid is born in hell cambian maby the pail witch ...we need more from that damned....hope he can Cath a nuther piller of fire soon....and he thought he had happened upon one I do believe it was about a year ago at least when that one came out anyway I hope to hear more as always great job can't wait to hear more
