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 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.
@@ijustrealllylikecats Medication side effects are a real problem. Been there. And sometimes coming off a medication because of side effects causes even more issues. I try so hard to not have to take any kind of prescription medication, but unfortunately, I have to take some. It's like a vicious cycle.
@@carved_cuts What's that old saying? The mind can't tell the difference from something real of vividly imagined? The body responds the same way to both. Thoughts can cause trauma.
I agree. I thought it was very interesting approach. Being alone with your thoughts . . .
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 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!
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!!!!!
“Arguable alive but inevitably dead” beside the context of the video that line goes hard.
the concept of this story is terryfing, good job!
I can’t think of many things that would be more hellish - and they’d all last for a much shorter time. This story is so anxiety-inducing, and it’s amazingly well-written.
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!
Hearing the description of the panic and claustrophobia made me feel nauseous. The background music just made me even more unsettled, great story!
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.❤
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
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!
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.
Right! I found myself willing him to realize that he had the power!
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!
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
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
I sometimes fear similar. As a writer myself, I have an extremely vivid imagination and have found myself on multiple occasions shifting my fingers below my bedsheets in the moments between sleeping and waking, truly believing I had my phone in my hand, scrolling through another series of videos. I've woken up while still within dreams, I've become locked within them, I've seen horrors unequaled by anything in the real world, so suffice to say, I've somewhat fallen in love with this genre. People always tell me on and on how they can never remember their dreams, or only see them in fleeting detail, this feels more personal to me than other genres in that way.
Anywho, rant aside, this was quite well written.
I always wondered if someone else also experiences these things.... I would sometimes wake up and just go about my day, but it's like I've been transported to an alternate dimension, because certain things would be different. Then I would wake up for real.
@@MidniteSpectre that’s happened to me twice in my life. It’s super weird. The rest of the time I can’t remember my dreams at all
I do get stuck between sleeping and staying awake and start to hallucinate if I stay up till two in the morning tho
I animate backgrounds with scary stories 🖤
thanks for giving my stories a go
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!
Great job as always!!! Keep up the good work!!
thank you!
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
Okay , this story was something out of the world , wowwww, and the sound and the narrative , great job !!
Hey a remaster! This is one that led me to your channel and is coincidentally my favorite one, sick!
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.
Hearing "And then I felt it... A tiny prick" after regaining feeling in the big toe cracked me the hell up 🤣
Wow!!!!!!!!!! That was terrifying and fascinating all at the same time! Amazing story!
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
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.
Sensory deprivation chamber sounds like hell. I think I'd take the eviction over any of this lol
That was absolutely insane i usually don't really listen to stories since i listen to them while working and with this one i suddenly realized my heart beat is going crazy when he was trying to escape
Yesss!! Finally a new vid because I've been revisiting old stories. Keep up! 💞
Omg... I listen to other storytellers. My favorite is Dark Somnium and Lighthouse Horror but oh my! Only Dark Somnium always make me think LONG after the stories finish. You are KING at telling stories!
Thank you! What a great story! I’ve done sensory deprivation tank before and it was very relaxing, but if someone is claustrophobic it can be terrifying.
I always look forward to your videos, Ronnie ❤
Always makes my day when there’s a new story. Thank you.
Thanks for coming by!
Well done as always, thank you for this story.
This story was incredible! I would love to see this in movie format.
Hell yeah! Man i wasn't expecting anything for a while..yet again u amaze me! Thanks Ronnie!!!
That was awesome!!! Brilliant story! ❤😊 I loved the sound effect used in when he was in the tank. Shit that whole thing was brilliant 👏 🤣 👌 thankyou!
I just hit the part where the doctor told him they’re extending the experiment indefinitely and my stomach literally dropped that’s terrifying I haven’t felt that from a creepy pasta in years
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.
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!
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.
Yeah I want to try a sensory deprivation tank as well. And it’s always unnerving when you never know if you’ve left a place that has faked your escape before.
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. ❤
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.
I just recently started watching black mirror and this story just made me think of the episode Playtest. I just can’t get over it. 😭
Got here so fast, thanks for the consistency
Thanks for coming by so soon!
i've heard this exact story a good while ago. like, a few years ago?
back then i was just like pretty much every one here: "pretty scary story, could you imagine what it'd feel like to have dreams so vivid, you dont know if you are truly awake?"
i actually kinda know what it feels like. a few years ago in a hospital visit, i was given a drug via IV that provoked an anaphylactic shock. my airways closed and i suffocated within one minute. everything went black. it didnt hurt, and i didnt have enough time to panic. my pragmatic ass was just trying to tell the nurse "i cant breath" like i'm helping her diagnose me.
absolute nothingness. not even blackness. i was aware afterwards that there is a gap in my memories. but it felt more like *really* deep sleep
when i woke up, the first thing i noticed was that i was breathing like crazy, but the satisfaction of oxygen in my lungs never came. then i stopped myself from hyperventilating, taking a deep breath and holding it for a few moments. after a while i started hearing voices, but obviously they didnt make much sense. imagine POV of a code blue patient.
then i opened my eyes and saw about six faces over me. then i noticed someone standing by my feet, holding a syringe, asking if they need it. the person closest to my right said no. i looked up and saw the heart monitor showing 82% oxygen and rising. as that number went up, i could breath easier.
the few days after that felt... soft, blurry. like... someone put the "bloom" setting too high. i was even less talkactive, and just sat there, dozing off. during these days, i would feel awfully separated from my body.
now, i have this weird thing, where i faint when i know my body is damaged. like, its not even the pain of a needle, its the image of the needle going into my skin, piercing my vein, and the nurse digging around to find a good angle that does it for me, and i tend to faint. and when i faint, i dream. vividly. so much that it feels like real life. and i only know that i DID dream, because once someone wakes me up, i realise the dream didnt make much sense.
so, sometimes (especially when i'm really stressed, or depressed) my perception of reality goes weird, and i feel like i could wake up at any moment, and look back to realise it was all just a fainting- dream.
tl;dr
i sometimes feel like i could wake up any moment
Omg, I know I am bit late to this but this reminds me of that redit lamp story where a dude had fell over and hit his head, then lived a whole other life in his mind until he saw a strange lamp and realized that it was all a dream. What a terrifying idea, that your whole life could just be a dream...
I suspected around the time his big toe was mentioned that he would "wake up" multiple times like something out of Groundhog Day. I've read about people in comas that have experienced decades of life in only a few days or even hours, so a constant nagging like that would be near phyche-shattering.
This is by far my favourite channel… the only problem… I’m running out of videos to watch. Would love if you did another long series like the left right game. My favourite telling and fiction writing ever
i have a few long ones in the works! :) im so glad youre enjoying the stories!
@@Darksomnium awsommmeeee I can’t wait to hear them😊
Is this a reboot? Could've sworn I herd you do this before.
Eather thanks a lot for the hard work!
This one struck my claustrophobic nerve
Gosh! I love this one.
It reminds me of the old days. Making my rainy Friday a beautiful one.
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
Yo, DS. You are the best horror narrator ln RUclips. I don’t watch “current popular streaming series” because i prefer stuff like this.
What a fun story. Anything that calls everything we believe we know into question is a great story for me.
Another psychological horror story! I love when you make these, the sound is always so well made to convey that sense of fear.
Wow such a great plot twist. It was obvious but very cleverly put that it felt very good
Thank you my goat for narrating another masterpiece
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 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 :)
Your afterthoughts reminded me so much of the movie Martyrs... it's a really messed up movie and shows a lot of torture in detail and will make you feel absolutely horrific afterwards but if you're interested in the idea of what comes after then I would really recommend it. The original is French but there's also a remake in English.
Top tier Ronnie, glad you're back at it!
Thank you! That story was freaking awesome!
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 😊
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!
Great job! Reminded me of the scariest dream I had in my life. Long story short when I was younger I was having a nightmare and everytime I "woke up" I was still dreaming. Nightmare after nigtmare. It felt like hell. Untill I finally woke up sweating questioning if I was still sleeping.
PS-this was way before inception lol
Just in time for my night shift, thanks Somn! Btw, have you ever read "To build a fire" by jack London? The other narrations ive seen on RUclips are lacking. Though its not quite a creepypasta, it's more of a classic scary short story.
That was absolutely epic!!!!
YOOOOO THIS IS WAS CRAZY AMAZING JOB
Wonderful storytelling, I have heard this one before, but still awesome to hear you tell it.
Glad you enjoyed it
@@Darksomniumthank you for commenting still, even after me being critical.
Hace you done this story previously? For some reason i feel like ive heard this one before. Either way this was a perfect way to start my day at work lol. Thank you.
Took me about three days to wake up properly from heart valve replacement surgery and it is very disorienting. I spent part of the first one wondering why the government had captured me and falling asleep again. Before that I'd been oxygen deprived and not really grasping reality properly for a couple of months (I caught virus and developed an autoimmune reaction which damaged my kidneys, heart and lungs).
This one really got me. ugh. Its like being buried alive... nope!
as soon as i heard that the "sign for the end of the experiment" were bells i kinda suspected that it would devolve into some mad thing here the guy is going thru hell and when he dies he would hear the bells and not believe that he was in there for only 3 days.
but i didnt expect an entire escape sequence nor the thought of dobubt even after getting out that he may still be stuck in there.
Him being able to use his big toe reminds me of that scene in Kill Bill.
I like dark and twisted sci if stories. Ok the other hand I’ve done float tanks before and I like the turn this story took and the questioning he had at the end. This is by far my favorite story yet.
This one was amazing! A true horror story.
I love the shorter stories. The others are good but I need a lot of time to listen to them!
Absolutely love you and your narration ❤️ the background looks fantastic! I was so excited to see it
I found this story interesting because I sometimes experience CEH somewhere between level 4 and 5. Always of where I am at. No drugs. No psychiatric problems. Usually just very tired. I don't like to look around but I can. I kept thinking thinking about I would have no choice but to look in that situation. CEH is closed eye hallucinations.
this story reminds me if the movie "johnny got his gun" if anyone else enjoyed this story i recommend that movie too it has similar theme (sorry for my bad english!)
Very well written! I've been in a sensory deprivation tank once. It could have been better. Found it hard to relax my neck and shoulders out of concern that my head would go underwater. Maybe I'll try it again sometime
Dude! Finally, enough with the breaks! Keep cranking em out I'm expecting a video at least twice a week 😅
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!!!
Oh yessss. Just got off work and driving home with a story from Dark Somnium. Now it'll be a good day, I was supposed to be off and sleeping in late. Now the universe has balanced out for me.....😅
A new video to get me through my work on a Friday! Thank you, DS! 🩷
It's summer here in my country so I'll be going to a mountain resort with the entire family.. 😊
Hope you have a great weekend too!
That sounds fun! Have a good time!
This was absolutely insane !! Mind blown 🤯
Just got back into these narrations after a while of audiobooks and have been binging your backcatologue as well as Romnex's and Dusklight Radio's. Just wanna say thank you all ❤😊
Welcome back! Glad you're enjoying yhem!
I have been thinking for years at the first time I heard the story you narrated it 4 years ago I was so confused until I just looked back and saw that creeps mcpasta did this and now that I've listened to it just between me and you you killed this better then anyone could have
Happy happy Friday! Can’t wait for the next Borrasca part 😱 Jeb and I need to have a Lego date while listening to it together. 10/10 would recommend 😂
hey katherine! I hope you and jeb have a great weekend!
@@Darksomnium thanks so much Ronnie! You too!!
This is the first story (I've listened to them all) that legitimately stresses me out so far.
This one was exceptionally good
I heard this story before but your version is the BEST as usual! My husband & I are celebrating our 22nd anniversary this weekend. I'm not sure what we'll do because we are low on funds. He was unemployed for a few months until just recently.
I've got tinnitus in both ears. Sensory deprivation would just leave me in a tank that rings loudly for 3 days and it would absolutely drive me insane
