Video Showing Places We Have Seen In Our Dreams Is Terrifyingly Accurate

I think whenever we have an interesting dream, the first thing we tend to do when we wake up is to share it with someone.

It could be your partner, your daughter, your son, or even your dog—someone is going to hear all about a dream they weren't a part of.

And no matter how strange things get in a dream, you really can't convey what it felt like or what exactly happened in the dream.

You might think that's the case, but there's actually a video online that gives a pretty good sense of it.

The video is titled 'Places you've seen in your dreams' and many people agree that this description hits the nail on the head.

It has been lauded for capturing the essence of many common dreamscapes, including abandoned playgrounds, shopping malls, and expansive countryside.

These are just a few examples of the locations shown in the video, and they all share one eerie detail—there's not a single person in any of them.

The video has become a viral sensation, leaving many YouTube users both amazed and a bit creeped out.

Many viewers have thanked the creator, Doctor Doggo, for perfectly capturing scenes that seem to come straight out of their own dreams, suggesting that perhaps we understand more about each other's dreams than we thought.

One viewer highlighted a specific image, saying: "Oh boy. I so vividly remember this one dream I had in this exact setting. I was just chilling with my friend in that exact same room.

"The one thing is though, in the dream that tv wasn’t there, nor the two power outlets on the wall, everything else though is the same.

"My friend in the dream was anonymous, with their face and body all blacked out, almost as if they were just a shadow."

Another shared their own eerie recognition of a scene: "I have seen this exact weird layout of townhomes in a dream I had years and years ago as a child.

"I recognize it so much. It was about my aunt living in one of these, and we were packing the car to go to target but something was terribly, terribly wrong. 

"Something was horrifying. I remember waking up in a panic. I remember this exact scenery though."

Michelle Drerup, a behavioral sleep medicine expert from Cleveland Clinic, has said that we still have "far more to learn about what’s going on psychologically" when we dream. 

She notes that although most people dream every night, we often don't recall them "unless you’re awakened during or just after them."

There are various theories about why we dream. 

One suggests that dreaming helps us process and analyze memories, while another proposes that dreams are more a product of our imagination than of real experiences.

As for recognizing images from our dreams, it might just show that we're all more connected than we realize.
