  • After making the previous video about Liminal Spaces lots of people have commented that these spaces look a lot like their dreams. Similar to the concept of the Backrooms another internet aesthetic emerged on TikTok called Dreamcore, that uses images, videos and music to create the feeling of a dream. Movies like Inception, The Matrix, Alice in Wonderland, Cat in the Hat and many more also feature these so called "dreamscapes" to make you feel like you are dreaming. In this video essay we will be diving deeper into the rabbit hole to find out more about these places you have seen in your dreams.

      I render dreams, by layers.
      .1
      .....................................................................................
      Render texture
      Render 3d objects.
      .2
      .....................................................................................
      3d space, that expands in 3d and 2d perspectives.
      .3
      .....................................................................................
      Also in a few milliseconds, I render "population" so that when I do render a group of people my dream can handle all of the.
      .4
      [Do This Step Multiple Times]
      .....................................................................................
      Then, repeat step .1 and .2, to render background and render shades and reflections to reflect people.
      After this you should render people.
      .....................................................................................
      [Do This Step Multiple Times]
      .5
      .....................................................................................
      The last step, is where you remove the people or other parts that don't make sense.
      [The 2nd Second had passed]
      The way I render my dreams have two main layers, with hundreds of variables.
      The main two,
      Are the background space, and the people.
      The dream feels sentient itself.
      And feels like the events of the people are pawns in a game of chess.
      That's because, my dreams were logic based.
      Almost like a computer getting rid of things and controlling it.

      The point isn't that these places are real or that we've been in them in our dreams. The reason people are intrigued by it is because of the feeling they get when seeing these videos and pictures that resemble the dream state they get when they're asleep.

    I've always loved the idea that that people could "meet" within a dream, share the same dream at the same time and interact and actually both remember it the next day! Logically that's impossible but there's something so mysterious about dreaming that it never actually seems 100% impossible.
    As a kid, I actually had a "totem place" within my dreams - it was like the sandmans treehouse with a big blue slide with yellow stars. When I went down the slide, I woke up. Whenever I had a nightmare, I just had to find the slide. Alternatively, I could wake up when I just stopped running, folded my hands closed my eyes and prayed to god. I don't care whether people are religious or not - this helped me escape a damn load of zombies, murderers and robots!

      It actually is possible and does happen. There's a lot more to dreams than what the "experts" think. The problem is that these people view the world from a certain, very limited, point of view. The whole "logic" thing is what prevents many people from opening their minds to a broader view of reality.
      Dreams are not just created in the mind. They are not just memories, or subconscious thoughts. There is so much more to dreams (and life itself). Meeting people there is definitely possible, and so are many other things.

      @larissa313 True. I don't know too much on that topic in particular, but I do know that most altered states of consciousness (including those reached from meditation, and even dreaming) are very related, and they even trigger the same responses in the brain that occur during spiritual and/or psychic phenomena. Dreams, as well as many other things, are basically taking place in another "realm", or plane of existence. I wouldn't be surprised if all of this is the same stuff, and it just differs in how we reach that place.

    The most accurate depiction of the feelings and surrealness of my dreams while being tied to familiarity and nostalgia in any piece of visual media I have seen has easily got to be the beach scene from Contact. It’s just matches everything so well. The twilight expansive landscape filled with things you might not typically expect to appear in the same scene together. The distant clouds, the serene quietness of everything that matches the silence of dreams, and the ethereal sky of stars that hangs over the scene as if there was no atmosphere and light pollution to cloud your view. The first time I saw it was with my parents and I literally said out loud “This is what my dreams look like” when that scene came on. It was euphoric, like seeing an old friend or being struck by some distant nostalgia you didn’t even remember you could feel

Rather than frantically going through the maze and trying out every door, I imagined opening the door to my home. After three attempts, I was home, walked to my bed, and woke up. Very bizarre, but an example of lucid dreaming through "the backrooms" lol.

Happy fun colours, but calm, not too chaotic, and people just living, enjoying their lives and the simple pleasures like growing flowers, playing with pets, or watching the sun set with a favourite drink in hand. It seems like everyone there agrees on one thing: they all want peace. They're all willing to work together for it, and they take care of and look out for each other, but still respect privacy and mind their own business. It's an ideal little community. That word, community... Relationships, comraderie, and care. Care for things, care for people, care for life.

    I’ve never had a dream like those dream core liminal vibes , mine are very …intense and detailed to the point I refuse to believe in a singular reality as this one we all experience . At times I physically feel and smell the circumstances, other times I’d have conversations and events that happen in this reality almost like a prophecy and I’m certainly not the only person who’ve experienced this. Really made me question lots of times reality and the potential of a multiverse , almost like a visit to our “other” selves through dream state.
    Whether it’s a fiction of our subconscious through the awake conscious or not , my dreams have been as well tools to creativity just as you mentioned in the video. Dreams are fascinating to me.
    I’ve also had dreams within a dream within a dream , where I’d wake up within the dream only to re wake up to re wake up until I actually wake up. My dreams are so important to my sanity

    I find it interesting that often dreamlike scenes are bright and colourful. I don't know about anyone else, but I don't think I've ever had a dream that was bright and colourful. Even dreams that I don't consider nightmares are realistically coloured or even more dull/darker than real life. Perhaps that's just my depressive and anxious psyche. Would be interested to know if anyone's experience differs significantly.

      I think that the way I dream has drastically shifted from before because of mental health issues. I have way more of an anxious feeling even when I’m not straight up having a nightmare, and the coloring of the images is almost from dark to gradient colors focused on the center. It happens mostly when I am elaborating traumatic experiences, but even if it’s not, I very rarely get brightly colored dreams like I remember having more often as a kid. Scary to think how the mind works on a subconscious level while asleep.

    My dream places feel homey and safe because it's basically my own world. It sometimes feels like I can visit the same spots. Once I dreamt about being a in a neighborhood, it was warm and sunset and people were out playing and laughing and the houses were beautiful and I remember my house was tall and brown and made of brick, it was pure bliss

    It’s only happened a few times but I’ve dreamed of regular places I’ve never been to and never seen before and then I see a photo or scene in a movie that same place years later and I’m like “wait that place is real? I’ve been there in my dreams”. It’s surreal.

      I highly suggest you look into the world of mysticism (I really recommend the Seth books by Jane Roberts) The practices of these ideas themselves allow you to explore these things for yourself.
      It will only occur when the time is right for you, and when you're not insisting on them, but just allow. Meditate(if you don't know please look into it, there's lots of misconceptions) and observe time shift or feel it seem to stop, pay attention to the feeling of what your imagination feels like compared to your physical senses. Notice the different flavours of consciusness. Inner observation is the key. Become more conscious in your daily life to feel your dreams more. The more attention you pay to subtleties of your conscious experience, more things start to click. Not intellectually, but intuituvely.
      And of course do what you like, but I've felt that exact undying curiosity and this was like the method to deeper understanding of something bigger than imaginable!

    I dream every single night. I always remember my dreams, 98% of the time. I can remember dreams I had when I was first learning consciousness at a very young age. I’ve had panic attacks in my sleep, sleep paralysis so many times, also I have lucid dreams where I can make my own visual decisions. I’ve also managed to remind myself I am sleeping and can talk for myself. Dreams are so weird but I wouldn’t give it up for any amount of money. I feel like I have a whole different life in my dreams. I am the same person but so different. 👁

    • @ShizuruNakatsu

      Same here. I barely sleep, usually just a few hours a day. But I always remember several dreams after I wake up. And in my dreams, no matter what they're about, I have the ability to float in the air. It's not like flying, but hovering. I jump, and bend my legs, or lean back, and this prevents me from coming back down. I hover just a few feet above the ground. I can do this in any dream, even nightmares. And when I'm doing it, I'm always showing off, basically saying "hey everyone, look at me!". Yesterday I had a dream where a tidal wave of... Weird neon glowing liquid was coming. It was like running away from (fast) lava, but it looked like psychedelic radiant blue and pink stuff. I ran into my house to warn my parents and tell them to leave because the wave was about to wash over the house. When I left, it was already too close so I had to use my hover ability to escape. This was a serious and scary moment, but because I was hovering, my "look how far I can float!" attitude came back and I was so delighted with myself, timing how long I could go without touching the ground, and saying "why don't you all just float too?", knowing full well that nobody else could do it 😂
      I also always know when I'm asleep, and am fully conscious. Even if I don't know how to control my dreams, I have full control of myself within them. I have thoughts, feelings, and everything I'd have in real life, so the experience feels just as real. I can also wake up whenever I want, just by thinking "I should wake up now" or "I think I heard something". I've never moved in my sleep, because I'm always fully aware when I wake up and turn over or adjust my position before going back to sleep. Even if i don't open my eyes, I'm fully conscious of it. So I've never woken up in a different position than I fell asleep. I've also never being confused about where I was when I woke up. Even before I open my eyes, I always know exactly what I'm going to see when I do, even when sleeping in a new and unfamiliar location. I remember where I fell asleep even before I wake up, so there is no surprise or confusion when I wake up.
