    There have been MANY installments to the A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise over the years. I've been looking through them with my current free time and realised that NO ONE is really "winning" against Freddy Krueger in these movies. He's always there once they, inevitably, fall asleep. I want to figure out how you can actually BEAT Freddy Krueger at his own nightmarish games.

    i would like to take a second to thank matpat for everything, i have been with you for as long as i can remember, and as i grow older i notice that some things he has talked about are the things that i have learned about in my math and science class, i now understand some of the things that he is talking about, and he has helped me grow as a learner. before, i struggled to pay attention in classes because of my ADHD, but now i realize how interesting science could actually be, and matpat, if you are reading this i want you to know that you have been my role model, and we all love you! thank you for helping me i the times i really needed it. i am also adding that 2 months ago i learned from my friend about rem and i understand everything you are talking about

      I think the meaning of a nightmare on elm street is of parents worst fears about a stranger a man an unexplainable demon entity or force of nature that either human or supernatural is attacking their kids with in their subconscious fears and flaws about themselves and are in the end powerless to stop him. Which is the embodiment of hate, revenge, and evil itself taking everything from humans that believe that things like depression, mental issues and trauma are the real reason behind their problems. Nightmare on Elm Streets meaning imo is about the terrifying truth of life that humans are scared to face which is “The Unexplainable” and the scary road we all ride on which is fate and how there’s things in life that just happen without meaning, remorse or reasoning.

    Great vid! Unfortunately, dreaming isn't limited to the REM cycle. This is an old belief that has been debunked. More recent studies have found that dreaming also takes place during non-REM. Speaking from personal experience as well, dreaming can take place during all parts of the sleep cycle. My nightmares start the second I fall asleep and don't let up until I wake. No matter what time I wake up during the night, it is always in the middle of a dream. Even a short nap will have me go straight into a nightmare. Freddy hasn't gotten me yet though!

As a comic book fan/writer/artist whatever his gimmick was in the movie, he should have remained calm and reminded Freddy that every villain has a weakness that can be exploited at any time the writer decides. If he did that, then he wouldn't have died. But then we would've gotten a different movie at that point.

    MatPat's theory reminds me of the in-universe dream suppression drug Hypnocil, which was introduced in the NoES 3:Dream Warriors! Though I don't know if the films clarify, it works like the real-life drugs MatPat was referring to! In the NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET comics by AVATAR PRESS, the adults are literally drugging the town's teenagers with hypnocil to ensure Freddy can't attack the town's teenagers in their dreams & for the most part its shown to be effective!

    Don't mess with the brain, mess with your dreams. Lucid dreaming. Imagine the whole town training to beat Freddy at his own game. This is nightmares we're talking about, not dreams. I consider them a separate beast. For me dreams come and go pretty easily, it's normal brain function. Nightmares seem to be connected directly to our fears, based on what I've experienced. I identified signs in repeated nightmares and worked on my self image. Now that I don't care what people think of me I have like two nightmares a year. Either new fears with new clues that I write in my journal or recycled nightmares that I've 'played' before and know how to solve. It's pretty fascinating actually.

    • @Snakepit_Media
      @Snakepit_Media 4 года назад +268

      Technically, the only way to actually control dreams is if you are aware its a dream. Lucid dreaming, the state of knowing you're in a dream and controlling said dream can be quite hard. If you're terrified and not in a lucid state I'd sayit would be extremely difficult to achieve lucid dreaming if you're occupied with being terrified of a dream based murderer.

    "No known causes of death caused by lack of sleep in humans" Mat, have you heard of Fatal Insomnia? It's extremely rare, but there have been around a dozen documented cases. And I don't think I have to go digging to figure out what happened to those cases... given the name of the disorder.
