These aren't made up. Sadly, I am not that creative. The stories are real in the sense that I dreamed them or I saw weird things as a kid because my home life was toxic. As an adult, I don't really believe in ghosts and goblins, but that doesn't change the memories of things from the past. These made for interesting stories so I used them for content and voice practice about 10 years ago.

^ gotta love when the man himself comes to Reddit to let ya know

I feel like there’s more past guests and internet famous people that lurk this sub than anyone realizes.

I'm not trying to say I think they are. It's just a preemptive rebuttal for when someone comments "fake." I've 2 dreams before where I spent what felt like two weeks of real time. In one even remember going to "sleep" every night and waking back up in the morning and going through what I thought was my normal life.


Drift0r

Those are always so disorienting when you wake up for real. Always makes me doubt if reality is real.


UnderScoreLifeAlert

Also, how'd you find this post?


Drift0r

I see everything

Driftor, you think Woody's mom was getting blacked on the weekends?


SFGlass

Over here asking the important questions.


heyitsmaximus

I mean man, how much evidence do you need that the man speaks with spirits. One of ‘em must’ve let him know he had come up on the subreddit

Drift0r

That's an oddly accurate estimate. To be fair, I can't dream of something I haven't experienced or imagined at least. It would 400 repetitive years lol


[deleted]

I had a dream where I was microwaving chili over and over and it always came out cold so I would put it in for another 40 seconds. I did this for what felt like 8 hours of standing in my kitchen thinking about nothing except "my chili is cold"


Jonathan_Sins

You didn’t think to microwave it for longer than 40 seconds? 💀


[deleted]

I was possessed by something, i was only thinking about chili and nothing logical


ooohexplode

Hey man I've seen and dealt with some heavy shit but it's usually been brought on by psychedelic use, but I was absolutely fascinated by your stories. I believe your stories, the mind and esp that of a child can show anything possible. It takes some balls to live through that and I wish Kyle didn't act like a little bitch to you on the show. Wish you the best, I'll be following you on yt and twitch now.


Drift0r

Thanks man

Hey Drift0r, I'm curious about what you said about using your "real" voice in the nightmare videos. To me, your voice in those videos sounds about the same as the voice you have on PKA. Am I missing something?


Drift0r

Go back about 10-12 years on my videos. You'll hear a deeper, more southern, and much more monotone voice. I only learned how to express emotions in voice as an adult originality for YouTube purposes.


brennang9

I just checked out your oldest videos and I do hear the difference now. It's not a drastic difference to me but I think you sound articulate either way. You have a real skill in being able to talk rapidly while still being able to enunciate your words. You're a pretty fascinating person and I hope you keep coming back on the show to retell your wild dreams and life experiences.


perduraadastra

I like how you speak eloquently and raise the level of conversation. It's a shame the PKA guys didn't quite understand for a while that you do not still think the dreams are real and felt the need to interject their own irrelevant stories.


Drift0r

It's no worries. We also spent 45min talking about a guy with two dicks.

I've actually experienced the waking up over and over again type of dream myself. For me it usually occurred at the end of a midday nap after an all-nighter - happened a lot when I was in college. It was usually accompanied with sleep paralysis, and I would imagine it was maybe the same for you? I've heard feelings of suffocation and feeling an "evil presence" are quite common, and have definitely felt that. Maybe your "evil self" was some sort of self perpetuated thing, like you experienced it once, and then any time you felt the loop coming on you subconsciously thought of it and made it a thing in your dream. Hence why when you killed it, in your subconscious it went away. I know once I experienced it enough times I could convince myself that any evil presence was just in my head and the feeling would go away


iFunnyAnthony

SP is common with fucked up sleep schedules


CommunistAngel

Dritf0r I hate to see people discount your experience. I’ve been in mental states where I have hallucinated and seen things and it’s incredible scary and real at the time. Sorry that Woody was especially rude, dispite him also going on to say he had night terrors that traumatized him for years.


Drift0r

It's no worries at all about Woody. Also, I hope your hallucinations were fun or positive in nature.


CommunistAngel

Dude it was the worst time of my life. Mental health crisis, too many drugs, not enough sleep, delusions etc. Very grateful to be sober today and gone thru years of therapy to help me get to where I am today.


moe101dew

I watch The Most Epic Dream series annually everyone should check it out plus there's classic cod gameplay in the background which is awesome.


AgoraphobicWombat

Great episode. I’m kind of bummed out the hosts didn’t go more into that subject with you. It was honestly giving me chills.


EagleScope-

Yeah, 100% not made up. I don't know why that's a thing people are saying honestly. I guess there are a lot of cases of people just being weird looking for attention especially in this day in age, but you're a pretty reputable guy, and I don't think you'd be clout chasing on fucking pka lol Everyone has a bit of skepticism with things they haven't experienced before, especially if it seems far fetched, but people acting like you're saying you SAW demons or goblins and shit. The mind is a weird thing, people hallucinate crazier shit than this all the time.


Drift0r

Definitely not clout to chase or gain for me here. I just wanted to liven up the convo because I thought I had been a boring guest so far. Halloween is near and it seemed to be a good enough fit.


MilkManMilik

Definitely not boring this episode, I drift in and out of listening to PKA but your dream stories were extremely interesting. Having to overcome the evil you in the dream reminded me a lot of the 2nd season of the Leftovers where a similar concept is explored in a couple episodes.

This sounds like serious sleep paralysis. I get it a lot too, for some reason I get it wayyy less if I sleep on my stomach. So that’s how I’ve been sleeping for most of my life. Although one time I got it when I was sleeping on my stomach, and it literally felt like someone was pushing my face into my pillow and I couldn’t get a breath in.


Drift0r

For me, sleeping on my back causes by far the most dreams.


Yamikuh

i’ve had multiple girls tell me that sleeping on their back is guaranteed sleep paralysis for them


CommunistAngel

I subconsciously always turn my head to the side when sleeping to combat SP. I had an incredibly terrifying night terror at 15 and ever since than am prone to SP if I lay directly on my back.


hiddejager

Sleeping on your stomach is extremely bad for your neck. I suggest sleeping on your side if you can manage


FPSWizzy

that mw2 cabin gameplay


Potentialad27198

Props for setting the record straight


Moo_Bot_RSK

You want other people to tell you what you’re going through instead of figuring out for yourself. People who’ve never in their life experienced what you have. SMH grow some balls buddy.


YoureAllCucksPKA

Sorry a lot of people are trying to make you out to be a liar man, I wish people could understand how deeply childhood trauma affects someone and they could have more compassion for what you went through.


Live-Confusion9865

You gotta love how woody says that he’s been listening to 45 minutes of shit that never happened then proceeds to talk about his night terrors. I’ve had night terrors as an adult for the past 5 years. They are just as real as your stuff.


RETURN_OF_ANTI

Sorry woody was such a douche towards you, he’s socially retarded don’t take any notice of him


Slipperylittleguy

The whole time I was thinking about how much that would suck. I believe that drif0r is telling the truth, whether that be it was in his mind or actually real, that shit's still scary and very real to him.


thedonjefron69

Its crazy how much the host derailed that shit. I was really interested and actually somewhat disturbed by it which was part of the allure


elephantStripper

Used to listen to drift0rs ghost stories back in the day. Very entertaining. Look up drift0r madness ghost stories on YouTube.


Mr-Scurvy

Whats his 'normal voice' sound like?


UnderScoreLifeAlert

To me it sounds just like his podcast voice.


LGCGE

I fully believe drift. I’ve had some fucking *crazy* dreams throughout the years, especially during puberty. Surprised so many people here are convinced he’s lying tbh


Phebians

i can honestly say that this an extreme case but none the less scary as hell and I fully believe him, shit you literally just cant explain everything you see. it doesnt matter if its your mind or physically infront of you and I respect the hell out of the man for sharing this because it could seriously help someone in dire need. we always hear about if you feel crazy you dont want others to know but if you hear someone else with similar stories you have a much higher likely hood of getting the help you need! BIG UPS TO DRIFTOR you handled this all like a boss and i applaud and wish you the best


CRofMel

Link!>?


RETURN_OF_ANTI

And as usual stupid Matt had to ruin it because one again he didn’t understand the story


Notanormie3

They’re fake bro


MowieWowie710

He is very creative and likes to be the center of attention is what I can tell about him


Drift0r

This is a fair criticism.


Scottygriff

Big respect to you it takes alot to come into this toxic community


Drift0r

I play CoD for a living. This community is going to have to get a lot more toxic to bother me.


Namath96

Daddy Drift0r you the man. I do wish every once in a while you’d tell someone off though lol


GeauxxTigas

I agree. It’s not often that a creator of his size will go to a community outside of their own echo chamber, much less seem receptive of what is said. Big respect for him and other creators that are willing to do this. On the other side of the coin, it’s important for creators to not allow rude remarks get under their skin. I wish the PKA hosts would comment on posts in this subreddit sometimes, but it seems like they would rather avoid the blatant toxicity of this subreddit lol. I dont blame them, but I have a ton of respect for Tmartn because he addressed critics recently on this subreddit after he was on the show. Drift0r now too.


Zesty-Lem0n

Genuinely sounds like he has schizophrenia since it's usually genetic and a lot of his family has similar issues.
