  • My grandma still has those school based dreams. She hasn't been in school for 55 years.

  • I had a dream once that I had impure relations with a good guy-friend... The dream wasn't about the impure relations, but about the effect the relations had on my life. In the dream I was grounded for LIFE, my dad hated me, I wasn't allowed to see the friend anymore. When I woke up my dad walked into my room and I had a panic attack thinking the dream was real. Worst moment of my life. I was SO relieved when I remember that I have never done ANYTHING like that EVER.

  • I had a dream that Robert Irvine tried to rape me...

  • I'm a medically diagnosed psychopath, and I like this video.

  • If I didn't go to class all semester long why would I care about taking the final. Clearly I don't give two shits about the class, otherwise I would have attended it.

  • I had to watch this video again because I had an anxiety dream yesterday about me running in the snow butt-naked except for a balaclava and ballet flats.

  • This video supports my theory that Mycroft is in fact the sociopath, not Sherlock.

  • My anxiety dreams always involve me missing the bus for school, from a house I haven't lived in for five years. I've missed other buses in the last five years, and I've stopped taking school buses in the last five years, but it's always that bus, from that house.

  • Honestly, I think that if most of your fans are like myself, then we like that you make mistakes. It proves to us that, amazingly, you are like us; you make mistakes, but so what! You go out there with the knowledge that you will fail a little bit, but that's okay (in fact, it's better than what we do). To us, the failures are a thousand times better than the successes because no one else can see the failures, and that makes us apart of your world.

  • Once I dream that a demon dino ate me.

  • I once dreamed that I wore clothes to school on naked day.

  • @MrJivePirate Lol XD

  • I'm a senior in high school and I have never had a school-based anxiety dream.

  • I almost never dream. Or at least, I almost never *remember* my dreams.

  • Had a drunken bar conversation about the school dream and most people said they have the dream.

  • I actually never have had an anxiety dream, I've had scary dreams where doc oc was chasing me down halls, and just weird dreams where i steal from religious places and then turn into spiderman and tell my mom i'm dreaming in a supermarket... But never an anxiety dream.

    What could this mean? I think it might have to do with a life where from a young age i was faced with anxiety, and was forced to grow up and learn to cope and handle situations.

    So maybe my brain knows what i need to dream about?

  • Crap, now I have to figure out how to stop being a psychopath ... I don't want to be like the leaders of the world. >.<

  • I don't have the final dream. I always dream that I'm redoing my senior year of high school because I got really bad grades the first time around. And I'm like a decade older now so it's weird and I stick out like a sore thumb and I never remember where my classes are and I skip some of them and....yeah. Weird dream.

  • @moonlady3000 I dreampt that I went to school, and errybody looked at me,and Then I realized I was a duck. But then I morphed into a human, then the teacher takes me out of the class to talk about my grdes and speggeti flows through my pockets, and I start shitting myself hystericly until the shit and spaggetti bind together into a steaddy stream from my pants and starts to propel me from the ground, and I accelerte and accelerate until I accidentally bring my teacher with me...

  • @moonlady3000 And I exceed into the stratophere and the Air force tries to chase me, but my stream shoots em' all, and they fall to the ground, then I realize my teacher is slipping from my grasp and her legs are being ripped apart by the stream of shit and spaggetti untilshe finally let's go and is completly engulfed in the stream. From that moment onward, I became a masked crimefighter. I risked my life again and again. I learned how to control my stream of shitty spaggetti, too.

  • In the fight between obi-wan Kenobi and potato glados I thin Ben has the edge

  • According to Hank, playing shows is scarier when you have to play with the best people ever. When he said that I immediately thought, Well yeah, it would be very scary playing a show with Chameleon Circuit even though they're your friends because

    1) they are amazing, and

    2) the fangirls *will* be very very overwhelming.

  • Sounds like a sad episode of Lost...

  • Dork

  • @MrAjjordan1980 I bite my thumb at you sir!

  • 311

  • @MrAjjordan1980  LEAVE NOW SQUID OF ANGER OR I SHALL CALL THE FLAMER POLICE

  • @MrAjjordan1980 If you wish to insult someone, the least you can do is use correct grammar.

  • @MrAjjordan1980 "you're" clearly a very angry squid!

  • @MrAjjordan1980 You mountain of mad flesh. Though art a boil, a plague sore-Not so much brain as ear wax.

  • I can't remember my dreams.. EVER. So after watching this i am pretty glad.

  • POTATO GLaDOS IN THE BACKGROUND!!! YEY GLaDOS!

  • :O hes making videos for nasa?

  • nice gladopotato

  • Every time I hear you talk about playing with Harry and the Potters or someone cool, I think back to that first show in 2007 in that bar and how afterward you were all "Never going to do that again, being a musician and performing just isn't for me."

    Good reminder of how much things can change over the course of a couple years. :-)

  • I don't know why but there is an EpicMealTime video mixed in with all of the suggested videos... I'm hungry now.

  • The only school based ones I've had are: forgetting my locker number. (Which I actually did second semester senior year XD), going to school barefoot, never naked, just barefoot, and forgeting what classes I was supposed to be in. Never had the test taking ones.

  • My worst school-based anxiety dream was that it was a new semester and I was going to my first semester classes and I was wrong... strange enough I went to my first period class after lunch the next day.... by the way WHY DID YOU RELEASE THIS PIECE OF CRAP INTO THE WORLD*?

    *and don't forget to screw up... Mind-control

  • any one see the portal2 potato GLaDOs?

  • I care about you, and I hope I am understanding.

    Remember that, at least one university student in Edinburgh kinda thinks you're awesome.

  • @vlogbrothers Hank, where did you get that GLaDOS Toy thats on your bookshelve!!?? :D

  • @ TOP COMMENT

    dose 'nt = doze net!

  • Nobody making a dick joke about hairy balls of anxiety? Oh well....

  • Anxiety is not just my most common emotion, it has eaten my life. I know it has its uses but I really want to punch anxiety in the face! I feel you fellow anxiety/panic disorder inflicted Nerdfighters <3

  • WE SIGNED THE CALGARY POSTER FOR HANKO DE MAYO. <3

  • I've been struggling with an anxiety disorder my whole life (and ADHD and several other things) and I can tell you ANXIETY SUCKS but nerdfighteria doesn't. Nerdfighteria is one of the things which helps me let go of my overwhelming anxiety

  • Have you ever woke up from a dream only remembering the end of it so you're really confused?? I did and I woke up worrying about inversions in french. Specifically, 'Aimes-tu' in which roughly translates to "do you love/like..." at the beginning of a question. Yeah.......

  • why did you relise this piece of crap out into the world?!?!?! you are such a bad person!?!?!?!?!

    i felt the need to make this a self fufiling proficy.

    also, i cant spell. so sue me.

  • I had an anxiety dream that we were going to do a play and I didn't know any of the lines. But my high school didn't have finals lol.

  • I'm a sophomore in college, I still get nightmares from grade school and high school. It never ends =/

  • Relatively, i'm in the future! :D

  • 3:06 derp face

  • xkcd comic????

  • the thumbnail along with the video title are totally charming the 12 year old in me

  • Hank Green

    As seen on: John Green

    fail

  • Can you please get a much bigger venue IN THE UK?!

  • Dreams are your life's way of telling you it wants you to go to school naked, and have your teeth fall out.

  • there actually was just a book released talking about how our greatest leaders were all a little bit on the crazy side, and how if you are not a little bit crazy you usually don't make a good leader. Explains a lot, dose'nt it?

  • @mollypotter15 It's doesn't. This is Nerdfighteria not a troll video.

  • I mentioned that you never stop having the school anxiety dream at a party once and everyone looked at me like I was weird. Apparently it's not as common as I thought it was.

  • VidCon: on my bucket list :3

  • OMG I have that dream too... It's horrid isn't it.

  • i love that Hank pushes his glasses up like every 5 seconds in this video...it makes me laugh :)

  • kk, till the funerals, wasnt sure tht was a good anxiety dream. they're better with a twist of paranoia in them. i get eaten a great deal in anxiety dreams now i think about it. snakes, dark sludgy cloud triffids, wild dogs, miniature dashunds. :S

  • you said that anxiety is the most common feeling felt, well i did some tests after i watched this and actually, impending doom is the most common felt. In fact, I feel impeding doom right now!

  • totally unrelated but do you and john write your own descriptions cuz you tend to talk alot about yourselves in the 3:rd person. what is that all about ?:)

  • im glad im not the only one with those school based anxiety dreams

  • Um one time I keep on having the same dream over and over again.It was about a HUGEMOGIE pangrie singing or something but I know there was a huge pangie.And it keep waking me up.Like the same why Harry did in the fiveth movie.It scared me to death.

  • Whenever I have a bad dream it's about a marvel comic charecter trying to eat me and if I get saved in these dreams then it's always Spiderman...weird much???

  • I get anxious about every single thing, even the tiniest things that I shouldn't get nervous for, and then I get physically sick. For example, yesterday I had oral surgery, and even though I knew I was getting novocaine, I was curled up in a ball crying because my stomach was spasming. It's unfortunate, really - I couldn't get laughing gas because my stomach hurt so much. Bleh. I'm just bitter because I'm really hungry and the only things I can eat are porridge and Jell-O.

  • Comment removed

  • I never had a school related nightmare...

  • haters still gonna be hatin

  • 56 people had very bad dreams lol

  • I LOVE THIS IS AWESOME! I mean, like like i know I've missed like three weeks of vlogbrothers while I was a GLI, but I'm happy that I'm catching up feel better john! I'M READING PAPER TOWNS!!!

  • I get so much anxiety - I can totally relate to this! I feel very irrational sometimes... And the thing about psychopaths was very interesting.

  • Omg my dad tells me how he still gets anxiety dreams of not going to class and having to take the final! And he's 53!!

  • Quite possibly the best video ever.

  • Oh my goodness...

  • I have a feeling that if your album does not include the song Baby There's A Lot of Ways to Make a Baby, I'll have serious anxiety.

    Take care though, man. You make positive changes in the world.

  • "Our brains are STUPID!"

  • Thank you for releasing all of this awesome out into the world, you are such a great person.

  • hank, you messed with your glasses 16 times during this video.

  • how can you be doing so many things at once without exploding? I'm struggling to balance work, food, sleep, and re-reading HPottz before the movie comes out. like, my mind can't even comprehend...

  • I have similar dreams but about accidentally killing kittens.

  • Anxiety brings concern, but often yields excellence. Hank; never cease to be awesome.

  • Is his background fake? o.O

  • Haha, that's so true. My dad is 60 and says he still dreams that he is late for important exams!

  • this is the first nerdfighters video I've ever seen

    is it weird that I understand NONE OF THE COMMENTS

    what on earth is gladys potato?

  • @iHeartBlathers It is weird because it's not a nerdfighters reference, but a Portal reference. Play Portal!

  • @iHeartBlathers GLaDOS is one of the best bad guys ever in a game called Portal. In Portal 2 Your Best Buddy (Wheatly Goes INSANE and kicks GLaDOS out of her position of power and turns her into a Potato. Once There Was A bird Chipping At Her And She Made A Funny So She started To Slow Clap. Go To HankGames Channel And You Will Find Out :-)

  • I'm going to assume anxiety is a very common and simple emotion because fish are not smart enough to feel pain, but they feel anxiety instead.

  • What does Anxiety sound like?

    

  • Where did you get your glados potato!?

  • any one else notice the GLaDOS potato???

  • @RiotAtHeart2 Just the majority of the comments.

  • I never had anxiety dreams aboput school. I just recently had one about rats. Funny, I am buying rats today.

  • "Why did you release this piece of crap into the world? you are such a bad person!" No. Bad. Do not say this. What I think? "Why did you release this piece of sunshine into the world? You are such a fantastic person!"

  • Holy shit, that's a crappy dream. I can't beat that.

  • woooooah,

    at like 3:00, Hank turned into mickey mouse...

    ;)

  • Bigger... venue...

    o_O

    WOOOOOOO!!!

  • hmm...........NERDFIGHTERS UNITE!!!

  • Your Reaction?

    Wow: this video

    Epic: this video

    Huh?: this reaction survey

  • You can officiate weddings. Let me talk to my fiance for a moment.

  • I've never stressed about tests, in fact, I was only in a math 10 class for a few weeks but I challenged the course, passed the final and then did the same with the math 11 final even though I had never even been in a math 11 class. Actually I never really paid attention to any of my classes and only failed a few tests throughout all of school but somehow I am still working at a grocery store, go figure.

    Don't worry about releasing a piece of crap, I do it every day and no one gets mad.

  • Dude, I feel you. Anxiety. Blah!

  • does it mean im super calm if i never dream about anxious things? its either fun-ness or nothing at all... that i can remember.

  • Dexter for president!

  • do i spy a dr who action figure?

  • American Psycho. Watch it!! Warning: The movie is terribly disturbing. The main character could be your neighbor.

  • i bought my vidcon ticket about 181 days before vidcon. AWW YEAHH

  • GLaDOS POTATO!!!!!!!!

  • why did i only just notice this video?

    Subscription boxes! Y U NO INFORM ME OF THIS!

  • Im so glad i got my tickets really early

  • GLaDOS!!!

  • That's quite the obnoxious title you got their.

  • I'm pretty sure Anthony Weiner is not a psychopath. Just a guy thinking with his penis.

  • @LenaCS Or his weiner, if you will.

  • does this bigger venue you speak of exist on the eastern side of the Mississippi River???? That's all I ask.

  • Depressing dreams? I had one a couple nights ago that I was visiting a Holocaust landmark. I started crying, and my 7 year old sister asked me why I was crying. So here I was trying to explain the Holocaust to a first-grader, and all I could say was "People died here..." Yeah. :/

  • what the fuck is a POTaDOS

  • @suchpimpness a potato GLaDOS (from the game portal 2)

  • None of the viewers payed attention to Hank, and only to POTaDOS.

  • @mhypersonic In a subgroup of a survival class, led by our health teacher, she told us that you can get food from other people. She then cut off her boob and moved onto the next group. From her severed boob came 5 coconuts, 2 of which were green. We then cut open an Irish boy named Liam's torso, revealing grapefruit-like flesh. I then ran away, turned into a cat, and was attacked by other cats. I got scared, so I cleared the url bar and woke up.

  • His stomache is feeling anxiety about the sandwiches :/

  • NASA!! That is awesome! Please screw up cause it will be funny when you post it on the Internet. Just kidding.

  • Don't worry, Hank! I'm going to Vidcon this year and I just wanted to say: as long as I see you and John, my life will be made. Don't worry, we will all think your unbelievably awesome no matter what happens!

  • I had to stop watching because your video triggered my barely suppressed anxiety problem. ai-yah....

  • This is also a comment about the awesome POTaDOS.

  • As George Watsky once said, "'Scared' is just 'cared' with a lisp"...

  • I am prepared to buy POTaDOS off of you. Name your price hank.

  • i understand... I'm in a bit of anxiety myself... =/ our brains are stoopid O.o

  • This video is amazingly anxiety provoking.

  • Coincidentally, you uploaded this video on the same day as I both graduated high school and turned 18. Talk about anxiety.

  • If you squeeze your Potato GLaDOS does it say something like, "Because I'm a potato." or "BIRD! BIRD! BIRD! KILL IT! IT'S EVIL!"

    Can it slow clap?

  • Hank we will always love you even if you fail a little bit (which you won't!) Just try and be positive even if it's hard :) xx

  • I don't get stressed out about big things... does that make me a psychopath? 8)

  • i dont have anxiety dreams. you know why? i don't have anxiety. And school dreams only accure when i let my friend do some work on a joint project

  • VidCon 2012. IM SO THERE

  • 0:51

    I just finished my junior year in high school. So I know how being constantly stressed out can be.

    That's scary about the psychopaths in power... yikes.

    Feel Better John!

  • I usually wind up dreaming - within the week before my final - that I either sleep too late and wind up rushing to try and get there with at least half the time left, or I have a brain-fart and decide to go somewhere two hours away the day of my final and wind up frantically trying to re-pack so I can drive back in time.

  • Hank Green!

    I am so ashamed of you, using the phrase "very unique" in your video! Unique is an extreme by itself, if something is unique, it is literally one of a kind. You can't make it any more one of a kind by saying 'very' in front of it!

    For shame, Hank. For shame.

  • @TheThundah You know what's awesome? Not correcting how people speak.

  • Wrong! I'm 63 years old and I stopped having the "forgot to go to class" dream about five years ago, so people don't have to worry about having it for the rest of their lives. Just for a very very long time.

    

  • psychopath is a term that doesn't exist anymore apparently.Now its called anti-social personality disorder. Screw political correctness.

  • when you said : ifyouliveinmisulayoushouldcome­tothat i heard : ajdgalsdjnvljssbgklajdv dat

  • we love u hank

  • Get well soon John :)

  • I'm going to be in Louisville in 2 weeks and I love you. Mission accomplished.

  • you should do a show in Red Lodge later this month :)

  • Interesting point about sociopaths in positions of power. After hearing about this new book The Psychopath Test and how many leaders actually fit the criteria, what you say seems to make sense about how they get there.

    Oh yes, the school dreams. They never stop. Even involving people who you haven't thought about in years and years and in fact forgot you knew. The human brain is weird.

    And yeah, anxiety sucks. Been dealing with it on an off a few years. Glad you have supportive people around!

  • Exactly my dream type the past two weeks! I'm leaving for a 3-week summer college program during which I won't know anyone. For some reason, reading and listening to you rant about anxiety is quite soothing, and helps me get rid of some of mine. Thanks?

  • I hate it when you wake up from a dream feeling anxious, but you can't remember why, and that just makes you more anxious.

  • I've never had the "didn't go to class and now there's a test" dream.

  • this is for the scott pilgrim books on the book shelf. i love staring at them every time i watch a hank video =)

  • Wait... are you an ordained minster? I thought only ministers and judges could officate

  • @RayenTrail You can get a license to officiate, I'm pretty sure.

  • I had an encredibly detailed dream that my husband died. It seemed to last about a week and was horribly detailed. I went through all the funeral arrangements, the whole nine yards. He actually woke me up because I woke him up sobbing in my sleep. I wake up and he's shaking me and I just latch on to him like a ravenous lamprey, sobbing "I love you! Don't ever die. Never die. Promise me you won't die!"

    Worst dream EVER.

  • Feel better John! You're awesome!

  • Hank, you are actually so funny! XD

  • I think you're the only person who I've ever heard say "Missoula."

    ...Does that make sense?

  • You can do it, Hank!

  • I think Hank listened to episode #436 of This American Life, and it partially inspired this video.

  • Your statement that a lot of people in positions of power are psychopaths leads me to believe that the entire Greek parliament is made up of psychopaths because /really/. If 80% of the population opposes a bill and you pass it anyways, you clearly don't care.

  • I've never had that dream about going to a test with no clothes on, as far as I can remember :). Instead I had recurring nightmares about Ronald McDonald coming to kill me which is obviously a lot weirder.
