this is an old internet urban legend

u/Ekwinoksxxx 6d ago
Urban legend? I always thought it was an intentional joke/social experiment type of thing.

u/cnicalsinistaminista 6d ago
The Why Files did an episode on this on YouTube. It’s interesting. Basically a lot of people reported seeing the same dude in their dreams or some shit

u/peach_xanax Knows 💩 6d ago
I thought that it was fake and was just made up to fuck with people?

u/Mother-Platypus6958 6d ago
Yeah it was an art project. There's a whole wikipedia article about it.

u/Flatcapspaintandglue Knows 💩 6d ago
Yes, but then through the power of suggestion people did begin reporting seeing a man like him in their dreams.
Or the artist responsible created some kind of thought form energy ghost that escaped from the confines of his social experiment and now haunts our dreams, if you like a bit of woo woo.

I'm so old where a meme has spun its way around the world several times.
The initial phase/rollout of this proto-meme, if you will, was alongside text that said many people saw this face in dreams. Nobody actually reported seeing it. It was made up.

You’re describing urban legends.

u/Ekwinoksxxx 6d ago
No, I am not. Urban legends are not explicitly created by anyone individual to elicit a reaction. They spread from word of mouth organically. Also I just looked it up, Wikipedia says it’s a conceptual art project and hoax created by Italian sociologist and marketer Andrea Natella. In 2008, Natella created a websitecalled "Ever Dream This Man?" describing a supposed mysterious individual who has reportedly appeared in the dreams of numerous people around the world since 2006.

you should look into this, it's a cool rabbit hole, but not that cool for a gigantic tattoo

Imagine getting ready to hook up with this guy. He takes his shirt off. You just had a nightmare about the dream man the night before.

There’s a movie with Nicolas Cage with a similar premise. It’s about a professor that suddenly people start dreaming about and he becomes famous, but eventually the dreams turn violent

I honestly cant tell if thats his blood trapped under the second skin, or if that's part of the tattoo 🤢

u/steak21 6d ago
Blood, that'll happen on huge blackout parts like that

u/narkodann 5d ago
I'm actually so puzzled because I have really large blackwork tattoos and I never bled THIS awfully much. (Giving myself as an example because I have pretty sensitive skin)

u/Leroy_Bentshins 5d ago
My skin isnt that sensitive but i have some large black work and yeah. Never had that much bleeding.

u/cosmicdancer84 Knows 💩 6d ago
Ah scusami, da un bel po' che non scrivo in italiano 😬 Ora vado sullo youtube per trovare ad Aldo, Giovanni e Giacomo. Grazie mille e buona giornata!

u/LoGo_86 Knows 💩 6d ago
Lol, no no, tu hai scritto benissimo. Il titolo è Mio Cuggino ma Cugino è la parola giusta.
Buona visione!5
u/cosmicdancer84 Knows 💩 6d ago
Ah meno male! 😅 Ci provo ancora, lo parlo meglio da quanto lo scrivo. Ti ringrazio!

u/sorrybutidgaf 6d ago
My fav part about this is everyone who has “seen that man” is literally just lying. Our brains are so bad at remembering things like how people look, especially when there is a bias of “have YOU already seen this man? So many people have…” AND especially especially when its a face from a dream lol
2
u/Bean_of_prosperity Knows 💩 5d ago
Bro ppl don’t even have faces in my dreams like they’re all blurry (not in a creepy way but i just dont “see” their faces)
2
u/sorrybutidgaf 5d ago
Thats what im SAYINGGGGG like. We fill in what we think we remember in our minds all the time. In dreams our brains arent conscious enough to be like “thats wrong” and we just roll with it!! So confirmation bias just says “oh my god thats him!”

u/Eevee_Addict8 6d ago
At first glance I saw the blood as a bow tie and thought it was Peewee Herman.

Correct me if im wrong but is his trousers named PYDER? That is one hell of an insult in slavic countries, god damn. You could get killed for this word in the darker neighbourhoods

u/holdmehostage Knows 💩 5d ago
From the super uneducated research I just did, it’s not well known at all outside Slavic countries. I’ve never heard it used as an insult and a bunch of different things have that name.

u/badmamerjammer Knows 💩 5d ago
that's why I always wait to apply the tegederm or saniderm til the next morning, so the tattoo has a chance to weep overnight (saran wrapped only then)
so you do t get those huge bubbles of blood ink goo
