Hey everyone! got any plans for the weekend? I'm back to working on new videos and im finishing up Portal in The Forest and Borrasca part 2, But i wanted to put out something shorter for you in the meantime. Let me know what you think of the story!
Already know it's amazing.
Going to a birthday party for my uncle I most likely will be staying past Midnight Mexican party’s 😂
Can't wait to hear them, I'm going to see Slaughter to Prevail in concert tonight I'm very excited
I’m happy to bring this week to a end with one of your stories, I hope you have a great weekend
I feel like I’ve heard this story a few too many times lol. Excited for the new stuff!
9 months behind on rent? Poor fella. That 5K won't get him very far with today's rent prices.
True haha
I remember this from way back, these are pre-pandemic dollars haha
@@mrpopulistless It's awful isn't it? Suddenly I just have no money. Still get paid the same, but it's now completely swallowed up by bills, and can barely afford to eat. Last week I had to ration food to the point of being hungry all the time, even though I'm really good at shopping cheap. Just 5 years ago things were so much easier.
@@ijustrealllylikecats damn I'm so sorry, hope it gets better for you
@@anas-il3co Hopefully everyone will remember this when voting.
Trump is crap, but he knew how to not screw up the economy.
Thanks Bidenomics, for starving all of us except for your rich elites.
As always, thank you for having me! It was a pleasure to play a morally grey (possibly mad) scientist!
You did a great job 👍🏼
Agreed. Great job man!
Thank you for your time and work on this episode and all of the others. I've gotten used to hearing you're voice. Actually I just subscribed to your channel. Thank again. 💯👍🇺🇸
You always do an incredible job, your voice range is just amazing, good job man!
This guy deserves to be a super villain
As someone who has gone through post operative delirium, this one was terrifying.
Short answer: Yes, your brain absolutely could make up an entire life.
Ah, I was "diagnosed" with delirium and I don't remember a thing of what happened during it. I was told I attacked a doctor, absolutely bizarre since I'm very polite (if they are!). apparently I pretty much only said "I don't know" to any question. I think my soul just peaced out for 24-48 hrs lol. The brain is a scary thing.
edit: oh, and remember that one junji ito story where the guy had progressively longer dreams, to the point where he'd lived like 50 years in a single night? yeah...
@@FeenieVonKarma That's strange, I remember almost everything. When I finally woke up from the medically induced coma, I refused to believe I was at a hospital. I was adamant that I was at my friend's house and that I could still walk. I kept seeing doctors and nurses that were not there and having full conversations with them and at one point I played a scenario out where someone I knew who didn't like me showed up and tried to break into the room with power tools until the cops showed up and they both shot eachother. (The gunshots were so loud) and I started ripping ivs out and tried to roll out of bed to call 911 but everything I was seeing wasn't real.
I was on antidepressants for about a year with no side effects, and then I started having dreams within dreams within dreams. Dreaming that i woke up and got ready for the day, only to wake up again. It was horrible. My inner monologue really did seem like two people having a conversation, "Is this real, no, this isn't real, am I still dreaming." I would scream internally when sleep paralysis kicked in, and I couldn't move. I'm better now, but man, this story made me feel some deep dread and fear. I figured out that if I can spell out a word correctly without difficulties, then I'm awake.
@@cateyez6649Oh man, I've had those dream within a dream dreams. I hate them so. That is an interesting way to tell if you are dreaming still though. I used to pinch myself until I figured out how to just eject from any dream on que. That's what sucks about hallucinations, you cannot will them away.
@@cateyez6649I have had those dreams. I believe they're called beating dreams.
I really liked how the story showed someone diving down their own paranoia and having it come to reality within the state of the deprivation chamber and how going through something like that would lead to trauma
I agree. I feel like this is one of those stories that could actually happen, which are always the scariest. I've heard of people being traumatized by their own nightmares. The brain is basically able to damage itself. I find it interesting that the one thing that made the main character spiral was the fact that they physically couldn't back out, once placed in the chamber. This one (highly unethical) factor started the spiral of paranoia and traumatizing hallucinations.
@@carved_cuts That kind of trauma is very real and happens fairly often. I got ptsd from some medication side effects last year that caused a serious heart condition. It's mentally effected me so badly I'm not really able to function at all, I'm in therapy and it's hard to even think about it without having panic attacks thinking my heart is going to stop. I just can't seem to reason with myself when I'm convinced that I'm dying. It's like you said, I feel like my brain essentially broke itself.
I absolutely love the ending. The uncertainty of the idea of if he died, if he really is out, or if he's still in there, is an amazing way to end it.
Also, the narration was incredible, still one of my favorite channels, that I'm so glad I found it, thank you for the incredible work.
In the end, I don't think it really matters if it's real or your own created reality. If you are better off than before, then just accept it as real. It's real for you, and that's all that matters.
@@neriluisarellanes3255 I really like your take on it. Honestly, what is he supposed to do if he "is" stuck on that pod. Nothing.
If he made his own reality where he is happy somewhere, then that's good enough. Though, if he does end up hearing multiple church bells and the Doctors voices' then that'll be a mental challenge MC has to face (wether he accepts he deluded himself into having a better life in the darkness, or he finds out a way to escape outside the facility.)
If you ever feel like that, look at a clock. Close your eyes for a few seconds, then look again. If it is still the same time (or a minute later) then you are awake.
Practice this while awake and make it a habit, and you'll start having lucid dreams.
@@neriluisarellanes3255it does matter, actually.
Im 2 mins into the story and I just want to say being 9 months late on rent is bananas. Shout out to the most patient landlord ever.
holy shit, most anxiety-inducing story you've done so far in my opinion...and i listen to your channel at work and heard most.
Omg I felt the same way!!!!
@@kellygoetzke6905 Same, this made me so anxious lol
The narrative technique employed in the story, where the character engages with their consciousness as if it were a distinct entity, is both captivating and thought-provoking. The exploration of consciousness and conscience is a fascinating aspect that adds depth to the narrative. As someone deeply intrigued by these concepts, I found the story immensely enjoyable.
Is it going to make me sound crazy if sometimes I converse with myself in the same way?
@@daemon.runningYep, sorry
@Thealseie Ge speaks Spanish si I can't understand him half the time anyway.
@daemon.running Ah, well at least you can get him to help you learn a second language
It's a common practice to use introspection and self-reflection to navigate challenges. Employing one's consciousness to address problems is a professional and effective approach to personal growth and problem-solving.
Thank u again ❤thank u for being apart of my life and making work more tolerable 😂
How about you actually work and lay off youtube. Wonder what your definition of work is?!?
Great! I started doordashing and checked (at that time) to see if anything new came up and now BOOM a story. Love it 💀
good timing! i hope you make some good money today!
Hey thanks man, without folks like you some of us would starve. Seriously we're a sorry lot sometimes lol.
And that's how a nice trip is ruined by extreme paranoia 😅
💯
💯
I heard this story somewhere before, but it wasn't presented as artistically and lucidly fluent in keeping the attention of the listener as you presented it. This is why I love The Dark Somnium. Time, effort, and consideration is put into each story, and as an artist myself, I appreciate that. Great story, Great narration!!👍
This is one of my favorite stories of all time, and i'm so glad you're covering it! You're story telling is genuinely the best i've heard from any other channel, and it's clear how hard you work to give us the best quality. thank you!
This gives me the same existential dread feeling that the story "Time travel is not what you think it's like" gave me the first time I read it. Would LOVE to hear your take on that one. You're my fav storyteller on the platform. Keep it up!
Ngl really liked this story, because from time to time when i sleep and actually dream about things, I „wake up“ from the dream, get up and continue with my day until i notice something that is wrong, before i „wake up“ again. This then goes on 3 or 4 more times before I actually wake up, which then has me questioning if I’m actually awake or still asleep.
Anyways great story as always ^^
I question reality alot. Am i in a simulation? Is everyone else robots? Was i me yesterday? Am i alive? What is forever? What am i? What is time?
Frick YES! Thank goodness for this. It's been a TERRIBLE last week. Now I'm stuck in Portland, of all places. Even after wrecking my damn car to come here. New DS is a great distraction. Cheers guys!
What made it so terrible may I ask? I’m there with you. Didn’t wreck my car however, that is shitty. Hopefully your weekend is better 🙏🏻
@CaseyGray58 well, like I said, I'm stuck working in Portland, which is a two hour drive each way, had $800+ stolen from me, wrecked my car driving to Portland for work, have no vehicle after tomorrow, no way to transport my daughter or do anything for her, no way to pay for anything to make it better even though I work my ass off, and everything is falling apart along with it. Oh well. Just par for the course I guess. At least the story was good. DS has gotten me through some really rough times before. See if he does it this time.
I hope life gets better for you!🤗💜🕷
@@annettew5740 I'm not going to hold my breath, but, thanks
i love portland
story request : I am a scientist , i've been abducted , I've been forced to make a virus to end humanity.....
He gets the stories off the internet and narrates them, make the story and he might narrate it
@@opak8745I have a story idea but I'm kinda scared to actually write it and probably not a good writer. So I don't know if I'll ever write it but I feel like it could be cool. I kinda wish I had a co-writer or something 🤷🏻♀️ I don't know. Maybe I'll finish my shorter story idea first
post that on /writingprompts
I can make up the rest nd post that for you if you fine w that🤓
@@SpookSpeaks666 let me guess ai? people can run engine to find whether work is of ai or not.
if not, then YES PLEASE make it
Good story.
I think another interesting ending could've been that once he was finally released from the machine for a second time, he mentions the therapist, and living a normal life. But regardless of the therapy, he would notice a scratch/injury on his big toe.
Man, I remember a while back, when CreepsMcPasta narrated this story, I'm so glad you narrated it too. I love hearing the same story, done by different narrators. You all have your own style of narration, and, that's so cool!!!!!
Amazing narration, as always!!!!! Sound design is always on point. Great job to everyone involved!!!!!
Much love to the Dark Family!!!!!
Heard this 3 or 4 years ago while commuting home from work & for some reason it always stuck with me, super thrilled to be hearing your take on it!
Wow, that’s such an interesting story. As the listener, you know he’s back in the real world do to the call back trigger, but with all the paranoia, and the hallucinations the narrator experienced, they can’t find reality from experiment anymore.
Always the best timing 😎 thank you for making these!
the concept of this story is terryfing, good job!
Great job as always!!! Keep up the good work!!
thank you!
I LOVE your narrations. I always listen to them while doing things. Keeps my mind focused.
I can’t wait for Borrasca! These videos are weirdly such a stress reliever despite how anxious they make me😂 I love your work!
Thanks man! I love you videos. They are by far the best to listen to especially while I'm at work and they always sound very well produced and clean!
im so glad you like them!
Omg!!!! This has got to be one of my top favorite so far 😊thank you I really enjoyed this one it had me feeling all type of ways claustrophobic, I felt like I was on the verge of a panic attack a few times very good and thank you. You help me get through my day at work every day five days a week. I appreciate you.❤
You have no idea how excited i get seeing new videos pop up in my feed. I love these stories.
im so glad you enjoy the videos, more to come!
Yay! New upload from Ronnie!
Hope you enjoy it!
Probably one of my favs. You did a great job!
It's another Dark Somnium upload!! It's almost funny how excited I get when I see a new upload from you. plus the guest voices always makes me want to be a guest voice in one of the narrations or do some of my own, but i'm not sure I have what it takes to do voice acting.
Wow. That was amazing. I had a slow wave of goosebumps roll over me, during the last few lines of the story. What a ride. Thanks so much for bringing it to us!
Hey, I just want to put this out there and show my appreciation for your work. I’m in high school right now and in the band. There was a “pep assembly” so imagine hundreds of sweaty high schoolers in one big room, the band playing the most boring pop songs ever, everything is super bright and loud. What’s more, I’m also autistic. Pretty much I got into a state of sensory overload that lasted a few hours. Your videos always help me relax since your voice is so nice, the music sounds amazing, and the stories are great. I saw that this video came out once I got home (headed there after the assembly. Just couldn’t do school) and this video helped calm me down. I’m still feeling a bit overloaded, but it’s not nearly as bad as it was a few hours ago. So, thank you Dark Sommnium for all the work that you do. It has helped me and I’m sure many others.
Thank you Somnium for all the work you put into these stories!
im so glad you like them!
Well done as always, thank you for this story.
Hell yeah! Man i wasn't expecting anything for a while..yet again u amaze me! Thanks Ronnie!!!
Hey, hey! Welcome back! I found your channel and subscribed, mmmmm(?), 2 or 3 months ago, and have been obsessively going through your catalog. Amazing work, man, for real! And you can definitely hear how you’ve improved at your craft over the years; bravo!
Your channel has helped so much in improving my mood, which will hopefully facilitate my returning to real life sooner than later. I just went through 2 years of betrayal, then abandonment, and to top it off he also wants full custody of our son. I had a nervous breakdown last September because of all of it. Couldn’t work, had to move back in with my parents at 45 years old, and all of my trauma started with their strict, fundamentalist, religious upbringing.
Therapy, and journaling, walking in the woods, and daily meditation got me through deconstructing my trauma and pain, and it now feels like I stand naked, raw and skinned and red, and alone. And I have to be better, because I have an 8-year-old little boy who means the world to me, and I gotta be able to fight for him, and take care of him, and prepare him for life in this world.
Listening to your stories is helping me do that. I’m growing my skin back thicker, eating healthier, growing stronger. Girding for battle, if you will.
Thank you for what you do; it provides a much needed escape.❤❤❤
Wow I'm so honored that yhe stories have been able to help, I'm sorry to hear things have been rough for you lately. Keep your head up, I'm sure it will get better:)
Listen to left right game and the hidden web page, you won't regret it!
Top tier Ronnie, glad you're back at it!
“Arguable alive but inevitably dead” beside the context of the video that line goes hard.
As always, thank you for another great banger!!! 👍
Absolutely love you and your narration ❤️ the background looks fantastic! I was so excited to see it
Thanks for the new video Ronnie. I can't wait to give it a listen later. Glad you're feeling better.
thank you! i hope ytou like the story!
absolutely one of my favorite stories you have narrated, I love this style of odd job stories, the whole questioning reality thing is so interesting to me, and I love the talking about the story section at the end you have been doing recently, thanks again for another amazing video! cheers! ❤
Just started, don't care what the experience is, $5000 is $5000. Just as long as I don’t have to deal with medical bills.
Hey a remaster! This is one that led me to your channel and is coincidentally my favorite one, sick!
I love the cadence that you read your stories in. The melodic rythem, smooth tone and theatrics of your telling is amazing.
I read this story a long time ago and it was always one of my favorites and to see you bring it to life was a joy all too good. Keep up the amazing work as always :)
Beautiful as always man. Your narrations and compositions are bar none to anyone. The atmospheric ambience you create. Is simply amazing. Thanks brother. For years and years of memories. ❤
Okay , this story was something out of the world , wowwww, and the sound and the narrative , great job !!
Really enjoyed this story, i love the idea and the narration with music made it perfect. Good Job and all of the love to You and all of the creators around You!
Another Banger Somn 🔥
Most consistent creative for sure 👍
Always makes my day when there’s a new story. Thank you.
Thanks for coming by!
Got to say, I really love the player graphics you use on screen, been loving your channel a long time, your voice is the best one out there, and there are a lot of good ones!
Thanks for the release on a Friday! I hope your Friday is as good as mine just became.
I animate backgrounds with scary stories 🖤
thanks for giving my stories a go
Wow!!!!!!!!!! That was terrifying and fascinating all at the same time! Amazing story!
Thank you! That story was freaking awesome!
Amazing work dude!
I really enjoyed this one! Great twist! Thank you for all your hard work Somnium
Glad you enjoyed it!
I always look forward to your videos, Ronnie ❤
Daaaaaaaamn that ending! This was a really good one, wow. Thanks to everyone involved.
Got here so fast, thanks for the consistency
Thanks for coming by so soon!
I listen to like five diffrent narrators of creepy pastas and you are far and away my favorite. You help me go to bed most night , cheers.
Thank you for the narration ❤️ I loved it just finished it
Not that there is really a story you do that I don't enjoy, this one was one of the few that actually scared me on a real level. Like I freak out a little when my bedroom is too dark before bed and get wild thoughts. I felt my chest tighten when the main character talked about not having light and going numb. The realness here is super scary for me and it's great! Fantastic job as usual!!❤
Loved this one! I love the soothing sound of your voice too. Have a great weekend 😊
This was a fantastic story! Mental/reality horror is some of the most frightening to me so this one did creep me out. Thanks!
Hello friend, I recently found your channel randomly and I instantly subscribed and have been binging your content. Just wanted to say I love what you do and keep it up!
wow thank you so much!
Woah! That was hands down my FAVOURITE story to date. I was honestly expecting the twist (trying not to spoil it bcus some of u maybe reading this while watching the story) so worth the 40 minutes. Amazing narration ofc! Amazingly made I put this one off for too long. The end was super existential that really makes you think. And the entire story was super well written and really had me thinking.
What a great story, one of the best I heard so far.
for the past few years I've had wind chimes as my alarm tone when I wake up, and everytime i hear chimes I get the distinct urge to wake up as a result
the bells played at 10:00 made this story just a tad bit more surreal for me lmao
Gosh! I love this one.
It reminds me of the old days. Making my rainy Friday a beautiful one.
Glad you're back!
That was a really good story honestly! I love it when the story messes with your mind and has you questioning the reality! 10/10 in story and 1,000,000/10 in narration of course 👍
Thank you for the stories, I listen to them while working and time goes so quite. I quess time does fly when you having fun
I like the detail of the bells not ringing the first time around he "woke up" sort of foreshadowing that it wasn't real. I was actually wondering about that when it happened and im glad it payed off. Enjoyed this one
Heard this story when i was a kid,on youtube and i was absolutely terrified,now that you do it with better ambience it opened up great scars.Amazing story as usual
This story has been around a while. Scary enough to revisit. I definitely enjoyed your production of it. Oh and the new wallpaper with the retro tape deck thing is super cool!
I'm so glad you liked it!
Dude! Finally, enough with the breaks! Keep cranking em out I'm expecting a video at least twice a week 😅
LETS GOOO, NEW SOMNUIM UPLOAD! You litterally are the reason I like creepypasta and started Narrating! Thank you for inspiring me!
wow thank you so much! ill check out your stuff!
@@Darksomnium No, thank you! I can't count how many nights you've put me to sleep!
That was an outstanding tale!! Kudos to the author!! Might look this author up and have a listen to more!! Thank you again for narrating such a wonderful story!
Absolutely amazing work as always Ronnie! I loved the story. Its Mr Fox. I missed these incredible stories. My phone broke, so im sorry ive been away. Hope all is well :)
I saw that first twist coming pretty well lol I’ve seen like all of your vids, but that ending was chilling, loved the story as always 😊
Another psychological horror story! I love when you make these, the sound is always so well made to convey that sense of fear.
This was absolutely insane !! Mind blown 🤯
What’s up ! Can’t wait to hear this one, currently in Thailand on holiday and I saved a bunch of stories from your Spotify to listen to while here/flying. Going fishing on a boat tomorrow very excited! Best regards, happy weekend!
ooo that sounds fun, have a good time!
As always getting me through my slow boring 12 hour shifts with your long interesting stories thanks everyone who brings these wonderful stories to my ears
This was an excellent story. Thank you so much.
I first heard this story on The No Sleep Podcast in 2021 under the title "Floating". It's one of my all-time favorite stories, nice to see Ronnie do a version of it too
Loved it keep them coming. Hi from Australia 🇦🇺
That was absolutely epic!!!!
Honestly though out of every story I heard from you this was the scariest I don't know why but good job man good job!!!
I seriously love your radio-words video thingy
This is my second favourite story ever performed by you, second to the drug that slows down a persons perception of life. Incredible as always 🎉
What a great story. Thank you so much
Hell yeah, Ron, thanks for the upload! It's a nice rainy day, so I'm sure I can work with this!
Have a good day!
@@Darksomnium And you do as well!
I do love the graphics.❤. By far my favourite channel of all
