52:26 As someone with aphantasia, this is the most apt description, oh my god! I also discovered what aphantasia even was thanks to Bob, however long ago when he first talked about it on the pod. It made so much sense because people around me were constantly like “just create a mind palace or whatever!” and I physically cannot do that!! 😩 I like to say I have “mild” aphantasia, because every now and then I can kiiiiind of visualize things, but rarely with any kind of clarity and detail, but whenever I wake up from a dream or (more often) a nightmare, I can recall very intense detailed imagery for a bit before the dream memory fades. I have drawing from when I was a kid, of stuff from dreams I had, and I’m still pretty shocked at how much detail I would at least try to add. I can even still bring forward imagery from dreams that stick out, like a nightmare from elementary school where Wendigomon from Digimon came to my school and was eating a bunch of kids, and I was hiding under a desk. I hadn’t watched Digimon in YEARS, but I recently looked up wendigomon, and was unnerved at how perfectly accurate my memory of it was, because I can *still* visualize that. But ask me to visualize a fucking Apple? Man… I draw a total blank 💀 Brain busted, no work. Sadge 😔
The hallucinations after nightmares happen to me too, but I don’t see numbers or letters, I see just random lines of colors that disappear in an instant. I’ve also experienced sleep paralysis a few times. The one I remember most vividly was when I saw lots of spiders coming down the wall and crawling around me. When I snapped out of it and could move, I was fully aware that the spiders were just a hallucination, but I still sprayed insecticide all around my room and left
Fun fact. I watch scary movies and let's plays of horror games to help me sleep since I have insomnia and I find them comforting. I was worried and curious about why, and apparently, because I have PTSD it helps me because it's a controlled situation of fear that I know isn't real and it takes the focus off of my own fears, helping me feel more calm. I was worried I was a psychopath so this is great news lol 😅
I also can't visualize things in my head. I feel like the upside about it is that I don't have to deal with random imagery of things that scare me unless it's literally in front of me. Lol
geez yeah there's something REALLY unsettling about hallucinating letters and numbers coating everything in your vision, that's horrifying and i can't explain why either but thinking about that filled me with a sickening kind of fear i couldn't finish the meal i was eating while watching this episode. wow. i'm amazed and intrigued (and scared and without appetite, but i am a horror enjoyer, so i think that's a compliment)
How am I only now finding out about geometric nightmares? I had near daily nightmares as a kid that fit that exact description and no matter how many people I talked to we couldn't figure it out. But of course Markiplier knows the exact thing that it is.
What is scary? You have a friend over for a sleepover, as you have many times before. In the middle of the night, you uncharacteristically wake up and see your friend standing in the dark hallway, waving to you. The next morning, you ask your mother where your friend is as she sets your waffles down on the table, and she asks "Who?" You never get an explanation.
On the subject of the trio's nightmares: It sounds like Bob and Mark were visited by eldritch entities, whilst someone close to Wade named Abby unfortunately met their demise at the hands of a False Hydra.
I have this exact nightmare "Have You Had This Nightmare? (Geometric Nightmares)" video on yt. But instead of a huge ball it would create a line to infinity and at the same time it would flash a face smiling to me. Seeing this nightmare happened to other people really freaked me out. This is the most terrifying nightmare I have since I was a kid. It only happened a few times but it's really scary.
I read a really long time ago that there is some sort of link between ADHD and nightmare frequency. Mark is describing my experience almost word for word and we have ADHD in common 😂
Dude, the geometric nightmare was basically what I saw when they gave me ketamine to pop my broken foot back into place. The ceiling became these gnarly cubes and just stretched onwards, and then I felt like I could hear my brain talk to itself in an electronic voice. I'm still having nightmares about it tbh. Idk how people can do that stuff for fun.
Them talking about a geometric nightmare is what I was experiencing as I was recovering from food poisoning!!! Like anywhere outside of my field of view was math and numbers and letters I didn't understand in a bunch of colors in my brain, I knew it wasn't but that's what I felt and "saw", and several nights in a row I had weird almost augmented reality geometry sphere things that didn't follow anything about gravity or anything. I wasn't super scary but it made my brain hurt trying to understand it.
Never had a geometric dream of any kind, I've never had third person dreams, just first person, but sometimes I'm definitely not me in the dream. Usually some kind of dramatic ass character like a movie, for example a spy breaking into a secure place to steal a special item, or a creepy serial killer in a cabin in the desert, a knight being brutally thrown off a cliff and then crushed by a dragon I was fighting (my ribs actually hurt for days when I woke up from that one). And sometimes I'm not even human, I'm just an entity watching stuff happening, like the entire planet crumbling apart while I float in the sky watching it, but I can also see every individual on earth like I'm zooming in on them specifically and seeing them die. And sometimes it's like a video game where I'm flying around in the sky over weird landscapes, and I can "click" on stars in yhe sky and "fast-travel" to planets and then just "click" on earth and go home again. And sometimes I'm just at school, except it's a chimeric amalgamation of every school I've been to. And then galaxies in the sky open up into black tornadoes and attack the school at the end. Also spiders, floods of spiders, but I love spiders so those aren't scary to me.
I have PNES. In my seizures I dream and they're very wild and disturbing. It's weird to think Mark would enjoy my seizures. They are fascinating, but not worth it. Sometimes it feels like you're stuck for years. It really messes with you.
I usually prefer Asian horror over American horror; Asian horror is more about the story while American horror is more about the jumpscares and gore. American horror seems to be dialing back the jumpscare and gore with recent films, though. Books are always the best to experience horror, in my opinion, because nothing beats one's imagination. Unless you've got aphantasia, then boo.
Mark will one day find out that his lights are connected to a button Wade/Bob have and that they have just been screwing with him lol Also dreams be crazy, also (reference Hook, with Robin Williams) Peter Pan's Lost boys would be screwed if they couldn't imagine food... if they had what Bob has.
So the only thing i have is connected dreams. They were not nightmares but i had the dream where the first time, me and my family and I went on vacation to a peaceful dinosaur island. Then over the 30+ years I have the dream again and i am older and I talk like man it been years since we been here and so on. It never the same dream just same location like I actually go to vaction there. It wild when I wake up. Haven't had it in a min.
It's so weird to see all of these suddenly uploaded to RUclips. Hope it means the podcast is back to uploading regularly on here too
When Mark brought up the fear of swimming in the swimming pool, I didn't think of the shark. I was thinking of...
THE GONGOOZLER!!!

So head empty until it hits you in the face?

0:32 JESUS 😱
30:46 I almost thought that was Wade standing behind Bob 😂😂
39:57 ok not gonna even lie, I’ve had this a few times as well… creepy AF

Note on not having Afantasia. It is harder to imagine something with my eyes closed vs if they were open.
Obviously mark and bob have unresolved geometry class trauma lol
I GREW UP WITH A POOL AND COULDNT SWIM ALONE BECAUSE I WAS PARANOID OF A SHARK
Jokes on you mark, I’m the one standing behind

Love the intro lol
Mark will one day find out that his lights are connected to a button Wade/Bob have and that they have just been screwing with him lol

Plz let this be a regular thing and not just a one time post to try and pull people into downloading spotify.
Their Spotify exclusivity contract ended so they’re able to upload the videos
