I dreamed last night about finding a playlist of 55 or so videos published by some probably 30-something white guy from the suburban USA around 2011. The playlist was titled something like “various rants”, but really these videos weren’t “rants” at all, they were 5~12 minute videos of this guy just being overwhelmingly and infectiously positive rambling about all his frivolous hobbies, mainly anime, video games, and Nerf guns. He seemed autistic if I’m being honest.
Now on the one hand, it feels kind of pathetic to be dreaming about wasting an hour or two on watching old YouTube reviews, 'cause that’s like three layers of unreality… But on the other hand, I kind of wish this YouTuber was real. So if you know any old YouTubers matching this description, please send them to me.
Sometimes I have third person dreams where I’m watching an unfamiliar movie but its hard to tell on where. I’ve dreamt of other virtual activities like playing video games, people being mean to me on reddit, reading interesting articles etc, just seems to match the pattern I’ve noticed with dreams that they typically reflect real life interactions, people that don’t remember their dreams are spared having to recall going to work in them, an unpaid overtime.
