    Prompt: what's your biggest weakness in a dream? Like, how does your body fail you? What do you do wrong in dreams frequently? What happens? Activity description: Yeah. So, I guess watching this episode, apparently that we can suss things out from dreams, I guess. So, I thought I would check in with you guys and find out, like, what's your biggest weakness in a dream? Like, how does your body fail you? What do you do wrong in dreams frequently? What happens? Let's find out where you fail. All right, Curtis. How about you? How has your body failed you? Or how have you failed in dreams repeatedly? I think my big dream fail is an utter lack of imagination. So, I will frequently have dreams that are very mundane. Like, it's just like I'm at work or I'm at school. And what's worse even than that is usually, like, it's in weird places. So, like, I will be in middle school. And I'll have this, like, as an adult. But I'll have, like, a dream where I'm, like, in middle school and taking, like, a test that I didn't prepare for. But the middle school itself will just be, like, my parents' house. And it's just, like, my parents' house is kind of pretending to be the school. Because apparently I don't remember what my elementary or middle school looked like. And so I just have to put something there. And I cannot conceive of, like, what a school might be. I just, like, plug in. Like, my parents' house is the setting for most. Were you homeschooled? Maybe? No, I wasn't. Maybe you were homeschooled. And maybe you've blocked that out. But, like, it's true. If it's so many, like, my parents' house is the setting for so many of my dreams. And so few of my dreams are actually meant to be my parents' house. That's interesting. I imagine the cranes would jump all over that. Ryan, I want to hear yours. What is your big body or mind failing with dreams? Oh, it's always a body fail. I frequently cannot knock someone out of my dream. Like, my punch is just wildly useless. It's been so bad. You stay in your dream, but if it's limited to your dream, I'm not sure. I'm now nervous to, like, punch someone in real life. It's like, oh, I've been so, I've done so poorly in dreams my whole life. Have you ever punched somebody? Like, really punched them? Not, like, wrestling with your brother or whatever. But, like, have you ever really punched somebody? No. Because I know, I've seen, I've seen, I've walked that path. Doesn't go well. I can teach you, I can teach you how to punch. I one time in a dream had a assault rifle. Jesus. And it wasn't about killing the guy. I wanted to knock him out and I hit him with, like, the butt of the rifle. And even that didn't get the job done. It was really disappointing. So if I was Niles, I would be laughing about how sad and obvious your dream is. You, you were just dreaming about playing Cod Daddies, I think. Oh, that's not what it's going. Call of Duty. Yeah, but go check out our Twitch stream. Something we haven't mentioned so far. Oh, boy. Bradley? This, this story, this concept is not going to surprise anyone. But I comment, I have dreams often where I feel like I'm falling. And next thing I know, I've fallen off my bed. It's happened to me probably four or five times in the last, like, five years. Wait, are you saying that in the dream you're falling? But you're saying when you wake up, you've fallen off your bed in real life? Is that what you're saying? Correct. Yeah. Oh, that's funny. That is, Mother. I've absolutely had the dream where I'm falling and I sort of wake up in a motion. Like, I kind of jump out of bed and it does kind of feel like I had fallen. But I've never fallen out of the bed. Here's the difference. I jump up and get out of the bed when I jump. Wait, so do you fall out of bed or do you leap out of bed? I think it's a combo of both. I'm not the most agile person. That reminds me of the time that we were in a hotel and you were dead asleep. We were in the same bed. And I was about to fall asleep. We'll just let the audience think about why that might be. It's fine. It doesn't matter. The important point is you, out of nowhere, sat up straight like the Undertaker and flung your pillow across the room. Absolutely no idea why you did that. But it does make sense that you would also fall out of your bed. Exactly. The most terrified I've ever been. At least as I was about to sleep anyway. Wasn't I sleeping in a bed next to yours? Yeah. I don't know how I got my own bed for that, but I'm thrilled about it. No, you didn't. You were sleeping with Vitaly. Yeah. Oh. Damn. Did you forget about the big Russian man you were showing your bed with?
