Kumquat was in rare form for this episode but lowkey joke of the episode has to go to Frank West's The Nut Out of Space (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Colour_Out_of_Space) comment.
Bravo, bravo.

Solid gold episode.
Spider-Man's ballsack flapping in the wind was an incredible reveal.

Even in the dreams i control I'm dunked on.

This episode was ostensibly about lucid dreaming but it's such a perfect encapsulation of Reddit.
I can't decide whether the best part was the fifteen year old whose subconscious consisted entirely of Marvel movies and Funko Pop or Frank West explaining the story of the war between CooldownBot and FuckCooldownBot.
-
Yeah, this episode is complete purestrain Reddit, and it's amazing. I laughed harder at the PEE IN PANT thread than I have at anything in a while.
I also recommend everyone read the doc, at least for the incredibly Reddit moment of some dude talking about losing his "dream virginity" to some random cartoon character, and some other dude being like AW SHIT NOW I WANNA DO HER

I was struck by how much these people apparently have no control in their 'lucid' dreams, which made me wonder are they just dreaming about lucid dreaming?
-
I think it's more that their subconscious is tattling on them in their own dreams, but they're too busy being oneironauts to unpack "i can't even imagine a girl liking me"
-
It's okay Bunnybread, I liked your attempt at doing a speed racer opening song bit
-
Don't fuck the Carl hot.

Two observations:
1) I am entertained that nerd culture has so broken these dudes' imaginations that they can't even fuck their waifus in dreams because they get hung up on explaining how it works
2) In a document where redditors talk about their sex fantasies, somehow the funniest thing was the Titanic conspiracy theory
-
All of you are fucking idiots it's pretty damn obvious they SIMPLY used Einstein's Time Machine from Red Alert 2 in order to teleport Soviet subs with the sprites palette swapped to German colors in order to sink the Titanic. Yuri was on that boat!!! a dream told me about it, also it was a yuri funko pop

- It's so hard for me to listen to episodes like this about new age culture because I love going "all in" when I discover a new strange thing to experiment with. Part of my brain says it's funny and then the other part wants to say "but no, lucid dreaming is a real thing, yo." I don't know if I believe lucid dreaming allows a person to purposefully manifest waifus for having overintellectualized sex with, though. I think that might just be a Reddit thing.

In theory, lucid dreaming allows a level of control over what's happening, which can go up to waifu sex or whatever, and I've seen people talking about achieving that kind of usage. (I'm assuming at least some of them aren't lying; it doesn't seem particularly farfetched to me.)
I never personally bothered with lucid dreaming, but I'm interested in dreams and how they relate to our minds,* and a lot of the people in this sound like they're just so insecure that they literally can't get over their low self esteem even in their power fantasies.
I kind of wonder if a lot of the lucid dream people have given up on control over their waking lives and are trying to achieve it in dreams because that's the only thing that seems possible to them. Ironically, that lack of waking control means it's pretty likely they'll never get what they want in dreaming, because it's all about what your mind believes. Your dream self is pretty much never going to be fundamentally different from your waking self.
* The idea of "dream dictionaries" is complete hogwash, but there are a lot of personal symbols and ideas that pop up that can be teased out fairly easily with a little introspection. Also, things like recurring situations can often be a sign that there's something your brain's figured out and is trying to get you to pay attention to, albeit not in a literal sense.

Yeah, I wouldn't say that my dreams are particularly subtle when they confront me with my insecurities and sources of guilt.
-
I used to have a lot of dreams where a beloved family member was an insane dick. Then, in therapy, I figured out that this person was just inadvertently low-key abusive a lot of my life and I hadn't really made that connection consciously.
Once I had that realization, the insane dick dreams stopped.
Most of the time you do not need a lot of symbolism to understand dreams. And, on the other side of the coin, most stuff in dreams doesn't necessarily have a deeper meaning other than "Your brain is just throwing a bunch of shit around while it's cleaning up. That giraffe just happened to go there for a minute, don't overthink it."

Yeah, impending doom and fearing reprisals are pretty obvious themes. Funny how when I cut my family and my job from my life, those stopped.
-
Lucid dreaming is definitely an actual thing you can do though in my experience it's a lot more like playing improv with your subconscious than it is like becoming god and master of a mental world.
I've wound up lucid dreaming while having a nightmare and I couldn't stop the nightmare but I did start messing shit up and the nightmare got mad at me.
-
Just remembered the guy in the DreamMoods episode who had every gun and could do a kamehameha and could fly without wings (also with wings).
-
I will unashamedly admit that many of my best dreams involved me doing superhero type shit. Lucid or otherwise I am on board with web swinging, flying, etc in dreams.

All depends on who Killerman is. And I'm just about to crack the code, I can feel it!

Isn't Bluebeard in Fables basically Wifekiller-Man?
I'll show myself out.
-
Would basing Wiife-Killerman on an Illbleed character be too much of a deep cut?
