This isn't the first time that dreams have been speculated as being a world all their own. A world that can only be entered through sleep when the mind is at its least resistant. Its suppose to be a place your subconscious escapes to in order to run free and unrestrained. Which probably accounts for dreams being more fanciful than logical, since imagination and creativity is control by the right side of the brain. And since all dreams are supposedly connected in this "Dream Time" or "Dream World" it makes sense that someone that knows the secrets of dreams to move through them.

Think of it as a world of giant reflective bubbles. Each one connected by a narrow path. Each bubble represents a dream, and each dream is directly connected to a person. When a person falls asleep they are subconsciously transported into this bubble and experience whatever images unfold. Now imagine that you are on the outside of this dream. Since its neither your dream nor your own mind, you can't see into it. Instead you probably just see a reflection of yourself as you are or possibly in the style of the dream being conducted at the moment. But if you walk through the bubble and actually enter this dream than you are summiting to the style, ruling, and physics of that dream. The reason for this is because whomever is having the dream is going to have the most control over everything in their bubble.

Now of course, since dreams are created by the imaginative right side of the brain and not the logical left side, reasoning has no real foothold in your bubble; so you wouldn't know that you are dreaming because as far as your creative side is concern you're just having fun. Its all about emotional pleasures rather than making sense. Unless you are "aware" that you are dreaming in the first place. A lucid dream is probably the only time both logic and creativity can co-exsist with each other at the same time. This is a dream that you can control absolutely and completely because you know its all in your head and therefore not restricted by physical limitations. So if any other mentality  enters your bubble when your having a licid dream, they're entering at their own risk because they will have no power there what-so-ever.

In the case of the Mane Six, they were all taking in by their dreams almost instantly and forgot that they were dreaming when they were attacked and so succumbed to nightmare.Twilight, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie and Rarity were all completely submissive to their desires and emotional pleasures and were all attack directly by having what they enjoy turn on them without warning. It wasn't until Luna appeared did they remembered what they were trying to accomplish that they began to take control back, at least in Rarity's case. Applejack seems to have a good enough understanding of her own mind to know when she was dreaming, which explains why the Tancubish never directly messed with her and instead began attacking the dream itself behind her back. It even corrupted her giant apple when it was escaping at a speed too fast for Applejack to react to, leaving her to wonder what had happened. Same thing with Rainbow Dash. She was fully aware that she was dreaming and was taking full advantage of it, thats why the Tancubish stayed hidden in the background and attacked the dream specifically instead of messing with RD herself until the nightmare was fully formed.

In the case of the huge shared dream with all of Ponyville involved... chances are that being made to act as a conduit for all of their dreams to become one, Luna couldn't possibly project herself into that massive dream, but rather had to act as its centered focal point and so was pulled into it. Unless, of course, since the size of that particular dream has never been attempted before, and having so many subconsciousnesses to take into account, the threads stayed because there was absolutely no other way for Luna to pull that stunk off. She said so herself that is was taking literally all of her strength just to "hold" the dream together and she couldn't even move from her spot in the dream. With all of her magic and subconscious throughly occupied and having such a large collections of dreams to feed on in one collective spot, the Tancubish took full advantage of the situation and proceeded to do everything it could to distract the ponies from realizing that they were all experiencing one big dream.

Also since the Tancubish was a creation of Luna and was at the same time feeding off of her guilt and more than likely her magic every time she had a nightmare, its makes perfect sense that it would gain the power "walk" through dreams the same as she does. Only, since its was literally a creature born of dreams, it didn't have to directly connect to its victims but rather wait until they enter its domain through their own dreams. Its like a predatory laying in wait at a watering hole. It knows that prey would eventually come along and that all it had to do was wait for its meal to come to it.


The dream world, known by most Eastern philosophers as the "Noosphere, " is another level of existence that  surrounds each life supporting world, and is formed by the subconscious connection sentient lifeforms share, and this link allows for dreams while a person is asleep.


I beleive that their dreams happen in pocket dimensions of their creation of which they are somehow transported to through their minds in their sleep. This is can kind of be proven by Pinkie's random dream hop while she was sleeping.


I believe you are correct about the "dreams" just being a new dimension and maybe when you go to sleep your magic leaves you body and goes to this other dimension, but every pony has there own dimension of sleep that they created themselves, they made it when they were born, unwittingly created there own dimension! the reason why Luna went into the dimension in her pony form is because all the mane 6 awoke before she could escape, so now Luna's dream self is trapped in there dreams in till the next time they sleep, this would also explain why it took so much strength for Luna to connect all the dreams and be there physically there herself. This is my theory on dreams, hope you like it, if you have anymore questions, just reply to this x


It has to be another dimension due to the fact that the rip that both discord and Luna did are strikingly similar but one question I do have is are there more dimensions and who is in charge of them? What I mean is discord has some power over the 'sock puppet' dimension and Luna controls dreams  so that sort of means she controls the dream dimension.


I have a theory, at the beginning of the episode the tantumus got away from Luna right, well it made her nightmare moon so if the crystal heart book is a good source of evidence the tantumus would be a nightmare force. and another piece of evidence is that whenever Luna feels guilty about what nightmare moon did it grew bigger so if Inc Rose is correct about the nightmare forces feeding of of jealousy and hate, then it's defenty a nightmare force. If you agree like and reply to this comment. Thank you!!!!


What if the dream dimension is linked or somehow created by the real world? Making it much easier to get to than another dimension because of how related they are?


I think luna doesn't have the "dream connecters" for individual dreams because shes not connecting the dream to her own and she doesn't have to because shes controlling the dream,its a every night thing for her and that would probably mean dream connecting is a more rare thing for her to do,and thats why connecting every dream in ponyville was so difficult for her


To quote Leonardo Da Vinci from Star Trek Voyager: "Hours past the world around me drops away replaced by worlds being created and destroyed by my imagination"

The idea of different worlds being created through thought is not uncommon.  I have read and watch many medias with such concepts.


I just wanted to say that what you just said makes perfect sense and is probably most possible in the show and too a degree in real life.


I think with the white lines and Luna, that it's more of the Artists wanting to show how she enters dreams, without really thinking about it. After all, if this was how she entered dreams, then what about the Hallway of doors? or stary space we see between dreams? We even see that in this episode in the beginning when the Tantabus escapes. If it's only for her to act as a server and connect multiple dreams... Again, during the shared dream with AB, SB, and Scoots, they went through the doors, outside of their dreams and into a forth that Luna created herself. How does all that work, if she has to physically go to each person and link with them personally?


I think for the case of the cutie mark crusaders it was more or less a wireless connection, she found there doors in the dream world. I'd have to say the wired connection is much stronger, thus  the town shared dream.


So if it is a real dimension and it is more complex than we the fans are seeing, could that mean there are types of ponies called "dream ponies". Like how there are crystal ponies? <br>It is just a thought, it would be cool though.

I think you may be looking at this the wrong way. Let me start with the dream Luna verses the real Luna. In dream, I believe that that Luna is not physically the real Luna, but a projection of the real Luna. So what we saw in the dream was a projection of what she was experiencing physically. But the projection itself is coming from within Luna's mind. I believe that Luna is in fact awake when she enters dreams. But she doesn't physically enter the dream, rather she connects her mind to the dreamer's mind. This allows her to use her (for lack of a better term) imagination to do things in their dreams. And with the CMC's shared dream, It was only three ponies, which is why she had to let the fillies work things out on their own. But she still could keep enough focus to keep an imaginary version of herself shown. However, in this massive shared dream, it was taking up allot of Luna's focus, so she couldn't just focus on using her imagination to create an alternate projection. So in stead, the projection of her was of what was real. And it's because this is still a projection of her mind that the Tantubus could join with her mind.

Now I'll touch on your theory of a "dream dimension". Again, I believe you may be partly right. Perhaps I should play on a quote from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Harry asks "Is this all real, or it just happening inside my head?" where Dumbledor replies "Of course this is happening inside your head. But why does that have to mean that it's not real?". Basically, the dream "dimension" is a plane of existence that is created by one's mind. But it is an existing plane nonetheless. So basically, even though dreams are in the mind, they do also exist as another plane. In physics (I think), objects appear to us as 3 dimensional objects, having width, height, and depth. The 4th dimension would be time. Perhaps the dream plane could be considered as a 5th dimension. The dream dimension is part of the ethereal plane. The same place where Twilight was sent to before becoming an alicorn, and that hallway of doors that Luna and Apple Bloom were in.

Finally, I'll touch on why you may be looking at this the wrong way (assuming you managed to be patient enough to read up to this point). In Luna's dream, the Tantubus caused Luna to transform back into Nightmare Moon. When Luna was talking about the Tantubus coming out into the real world, perhaps what she meant was for her nightmare to become real, and that is for her to turn back into Nightmare Moon. Her night mare is that she loses control of the entity that transformed her into Nightmare Moon (and this theory can work, since Lauren Faust originally stated that Luna becoming Nightmare Moon was her becoming "possessed" my her negative emotions. I know that Luna said she created the Tantubus to remind her of her past. But if you've ever seen the movie 'Wes Craven's New Nightmare', it goes into how the Nightmare on Elm Street movies were fictional, but the entity that was Freddy Kruger was an actual demon that was contained in the fiction stories that were the Nightmare on Elm Street movies. And perhaps the Tantubus is simply a creation of Luna to hold Nightmare Moon in. And it's ability to travel to the dreams of different ponies is because it's part of Luna's mind and is just using her ability to enter ponies' dreams.

When you think of it, even though the name is a spoof of a story title, the episode itself may be a reference to the Nightmare on Elm Street movies. I mean, NIGHTMARE on Elm Street...NIGHTMARE Moon...


I actually never thought that ponies dreams could have their own dimensions


What I'm thinking is that Luna is in the dream world and the strings are connected to the ponies heads going through a portal or something, bringing the ponies to the dream world so that's why they would remember it. The tantabus would go to the real world kind of like how the strings go to the real world, going through a portal.


Maybe its that the ponies have a strange mind power (other than MAGIC) that allows them to create pocket dimensions that are only available when that pony is sleeping.


i choose to believe that it happens in another dimension it just seems more fun and magical


Hmm, I think the other dimension i'd is supper cool and it would be amazing if it was expanded on in the show. PS. I understood this perfectly, what you talking about


A dream world is exactly the same to a real world, yet with dreaming you have more possibilities. Forgive me for the Sword Art Online references, but they relate to this topic. With that VRMMORPG world, it's an alternate dimension. You can do things in that world that you can't in the real world. For me, the consoles that were used for those games are like the links from Luna's horn. When you are in a dream, you cannot move your body in the real world.

Sorry if this doesn't make any sense, and don't hate on me for liking SAO.


I'd like to think the dream world is a type of astral plane, which Luna can traverse frequently.


I do believe that you are correct on the whole 'a dream dimension' but how can Luna access this dimension in the whole towns dream? And OMG 2 LUNAS?!?? you literally just made my day!


I think that when they're awake, the dream world is the one controlling real life. And when real life is asleep, they control dream world...

Weird I know...


I think Luna is able to enter the dream dimension without having to fall asleep (after all, she is the princess of dreams).


So basically what you are saying is

Ponies can literally travel through space time and whatever in their sleep

Those are some talented ponies


Like you said, the dream world is probably like an online game with servers. But think, the pony's brain could act as a platform you're playing the online game on.. hmm?


I have another theory.

The tantapus was not, in fact created by Luna. Rather, it is the same force that turned her into Nightmare Moon. When the elements prevented Luna from being Nightmare Moon, the tantapus was forced to take on a new role when Luna 'created' a creature to torment herself.

I got the idea right at the beginning of the episode, as I thought that was happening, but I think is supported by the fact that I don't think Luna would create something able (or willing) to destroy everything. Besides, if it was so easy, it would've been done already.


My theory is that there are cracks between the real and dream world that gets bigger in a few nights of sleep. To back-up my theory i made some research and was proven right, due to small cracks appearing in our heads we can try to break through those cracks and enter the "Land Of Dreams",but trying to open the cracks more results to waking up thus stopping us from entering said world...This is my own theory.  :)

Ps:The tantumus is just  a mash-up of all nightmares (If you had over 60...)


This is like trying to explain what the Matrix is to someone who has never seen the movies before. Actually, I think this might be more complicated to explain than what the Matrix is. Anypony agree?


I was thinking as it was made by Luna when it grew stronger it kind of  got the same type of powers (how Luna can step in and out of dreams sort of thing)


I think this I where magic comes from. Everything has a magical connection. Dreams are the place where magic comes and goes.


Simple enough answer: Both.
(after all as with the example given, there is the 'server' but also the 'user client')

Also, anyone here seen the game Blood Borne? These talks of Dreamscapes and the Waking World sound a lot like something don't they....  ^-*./)'
(and the the 'dream' is indeed very much just as real as the waking world)

More to say, "Slices of Reality" along with the greater more 'complete' ones.
While not full or complete universe these 'pocket universe/dimensions' are still very much just as real and if one can and knows how could very well walk between them.
(as with Luna and other Old Ones / Great Ones, so it goes)

#Fear-the-Old-Blood  ;3


I also noticed that the episode is a BIG reference to the horror movie " A nightmare on elm street 3: Dream warriors", and a little reference to the Nintendo 3DS game "Mario and Luigi dream team".
A nightmare on elm street 3, because tantelous (if that's how you spell it) is like Freddy Kruger, cause they go to each people/ponies dream and gives them nightmares, except the tantillous doesn't kill any pony, he/she just gives them fright so it can try to go to real world, and Freddy, he just goes to peoples dreams and kills them with his claws and they will also be killed in the real world.
Now Mario and Luigi dream is similar, because Luna goes to ponies' dreams but she can teleport to others. And what is similar about that is that its the opposite. Luna goes to people's dream, and when Luigi sleeps on the magical pillows or Dreambert, anyone can go in his dream, but in the game Mario goes in his dreams to save all the pillow sirits.(I forgot what they're called, but I do have the game and they're the ones mario has to save). OK,that's all.


(sorry for any miss-spelling. i have a strong spoken word, but the written escapes me) it was instantly brought to mind the Tulpa, a thought form or being of mind. the Tantabus, came too after luna thought to punish her self. it was only her thinking it wasn't enuf, the Tantabus escapes to further the punishment of luna. at first i thought it to be a part of luna's psyche-y brought to apparition by her magic, but as the episode goes on it gains power by tormenting ponies dreams. the more ponies the stronger it gets, till all the ponies beleave that luna can stop it by, beleaving she is no longer in need of puneshement. when luna forgave her self it disapeard.( i have lost my train of thought because of how long this tock me to right.)

so finely, yes the dream realm in a parallel one, stronger to the mind then the form.


Well, dream world is called Astral Dimension, or rather Astral dimentions. According to what I kow we are living in one world divide in seven layers. Each layer is build by the same matter, it is "energy" (also called IHVH, Absolut, Chi, Allah and it has many other names), the difference between those layers is how dense energy is there, or in other words how much energy you need to build matter in this mayer. Highest one is pure energy in its clearer form and going down means you need to make this energy denser. We are thinking that we are living on 7th layer which is most dense and contain matter we know. In reality we are living in all layers and we need those layers to exist (our matter is build from matter from higher layer and so on back to 1st layer). As we have structures in those higher layers we also have sences there but they are so weak compare to strong, dense matter and sensors build from that matter here that we simply cannot feel all this things because our "material" feelings shouting over them.<br>When we are dreaming we in reality enter to astral world (wchich is 5th layer, between Astral and Material layer is something we called Etheric Layer, this is more like link between 5th and 7th layer than pure layer by itself so usually we skip 6th layer when dreaming). Astral has weird properties, because the energy that create matter there is really much less dense than material energy we can provide enought energy to create something by just simply thinking about that. This layer has also more strechy dimentional fabric in it so we can simply create pocket that will be hidden from outside but nearly infinitely large from inside. That is what happend when we are dreaming, we are entering those pockets in astral and everything that was there starts our dream and our toughts form it later. Luna just probably make bubble around her so inside of this bubble was part of phisical world, like tear in dimentions, And she just make one large pocket in Astral and prevent everyone from sinking in their own pockets or recreate the same world in every pocket and she could work like server too so she sinchronise everything in every pocket so everything looks like one dream, that would explain why she needs so many energy but that seems a bit weird due to as far as i know this blue foggy thing can be in only one dream at once, so she probably just prevent everyone from sinking into their own pockets.

On the season finial Twlights castel Discord mentions that Luna sees into his dreams to but he lives in his own pocket demention maybe he creates his own rift that might help bring the evil pony in the real world without him relising but its just a guess


The Brony Notion, you just theorized Dream Realm where all dreams are connected and mythical creatures exist. Ever wonder where dragons come from and how all those sci-fi movies are made? All from the realm of dreams, but this is just my theory.


This what gets my attention is the dream world real or not I think so, when ur dreaming u can dream anything u want or u go into another dimension or into dream dimension here's two worlds the real world and the dream world this is very interactive through dreams.


I think the dimension is more likely, for not only do I think of a dream like a dimension in the real world, mainly for the fact I don't have much dream at all so think of it as not connecting to the dimension, but a this dream "world" or "dimension" is also shown in the game Mario & Luigi dream team, where Mario uses a ancient PILLOW to enter the "world of Luigi's dream" For this to happen they would use a portal for sorts and go through this path-like area, I would think of this like the light wires from Luna.<br>But I think of each person's dream as each it's own dimension and luna used this oath-like area, to connect them all

If you think of multiverse therory as the capacity of an infinate number of universes and and not the presence of an infinate number of universes. Though there's a contradiction there, to consider both of attributes supports  an easy argument that any and all dreams could create or define a universe.


I think its in their minds but when they dream there dreams can escape from their world when lunna made that dream connect it made one  dream and sense it was in ponyville no where else means probably that that dream was almost physical


I think that at the end of that episode spike should have sat up in bed suddenly waking up. he would look around the room and see no one but Twilight. she would wake up and ask what was wrong he would say "I just had the weirdest dream!!"


I agree with your theory that the dream world is another dimension, to me it made perfectly good sense


A universe only exist when a mind is observing it. Which means that ever book,movie, and dream are their own universe. MIND POWER! Nothing in the video was confusing.

Does nopony ever listen to what I have to say.


I think that the "Dream" is in a realm cuz in Season 5 episode 13 she said that her sister has no magic IN THE DREAM REALM.


I think that dreams are in a different dimensions but how do princess Celestia's dreams work since she can see the future in them?


Seems to me like Nightmare Moon passed up a marvelous way to communicate with her followers effectively through dream sharing, eh, Brony Notion? Or did she? DUN DUN DUN!!!!!!! XD


I have a question. Could Luna do this again?


"It doesn't work like that." Magic magic magic MAGIC  ITS ALL MAGIC


I think the wirery things go up into an invisible hole into the real world in the shared dream


There was a youtuber who talked about a creepy dream she had <br>In her dream she saw a tall dark shadow figure and when she woke up she saw it but when she closed her eyes and opened them again the black figure was gone and she said it had a radio static voice which was saying her name but was skipping some letters and when she went back to sleep she saw it again but with a hat she has told other stories too which are scary (kinda) and she says she lucid dreams a lot because she has bad the worst luck with kidnapping and other stuff and I think she said she was

i know this is a long explonation, but please don't be lazy, and just read it. your wrong about those Apple bloom, scotaloo, and swetie belle dream having luna's string, why? becouse when luna was conecting to mane 6 in this episode, she needed to be able to control hersielf in another dream, she needed to be able to conect to other dreams, but still controling the actions in other 5, the CMCs were alone and luna was only looking in to their dreams at the time, and that's why i think your wrong, when looking into one dream she doesn't need to conect to anyone else, and in the episode where they all had the same dream, they didn't meet each other, but swetie belle and scotaloo were in the same posion as Apple bloom, and dreamed as the same thing was happening to them.


Okay so i thought up something that's probably stupid but what if alicorns have their own dimensions to control and share like remember when celestia was turning twilight into a alicorn the area had the same design but how can that be? Luna said the celestia can't do anything with dreams like Luna can so maybe celestia has her own dimension that Luna can't interfere with granted twilight or candence has shown their dimensions but maybe it's just for pure alicorns where celestia can look at and give destinies and Luna dreams let me know what you think if I have any flaws tell me please.

I ment had not shown their dimensions sorry


What about the moon on Luna's  chest plate it grew to a bigger  moon and I'm confused explain😓 it's like every time she gains confidence the moon becomes more of a full moon


Do you?...

Dimension. I think yes. In minds? I think not.


Of course it's happening inside your head! But why on earth should that mean it's not real?


in MLP I think that there is a dream realm. At 3:54 all those doors are to each pony's dreams. Also Luna has the power of entering pony's dreams and see what there dreaming. This makes me think in "Magical Mystery Cure" Celestia was watching Twilight to decide if she was ready to turn into a princess. After all there was there was a flashback of clips from episodes. So does this give Celestia the power to watch over any pony in the day, and Luna the power in the night?


my theory is yes there is a dimension of dreams that connects to eachother. Like America. it's seperated In states but it's on country. so that makes me think that it's another dimension. and I have proof. you see in MLP Equestia girls twilight goes though a mirorr to another dimension. so yeah compicated. :P


that Princess Bride meme just got you a like :3


I have one thing to say about this: Astral Projection.


It would be in the mind because then how did Big Mac  turn in to a alicorn


first of all no scootaloo wouldn't have a wire Luna can enter dreams but when it was with them they need it a route from one to another and seconds the dream could be a dimension and in the mine but when Luna connected all the dreams she probably connected them to her mine


I think I want to see a picture of Kirby on Luna's back now.  With Kirby going "Hii~!" and Luna looking back at him as though to say, "Where did <b>you</b> come from?"

The dream world is real my witch friend said that according to my dreams I have a connection to it I remember it it was a black void nothing there but then again I am color blind and there is a rumor that color blind people can't see the monsters hiding there so it is dangerous for me to visit. I am going to try and see if I do though it may take my life i f a success.


I am going to say it is another dimension. It works better with my oc.


Bill cipher (3:39)if u watch gravity falls u'd also get why the triangle with the eye is bill


Have you ever wondered why scootalo live on her own ? ( sorry I can't seem to spell her name )


I think there is such thing as the dream world


i saw triangle inside the triangle and I Really think That dream dimension is real


The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lava Girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3


I think another uni... wait did you mean galaxy after all MLP's world is basicly the exact opposite of ours


It could go either way really I followed yet still confused


Maybe Luna was dreaming of it all she dreamt of herself asleep so you can dream of a dream


OK question what if you cant have dreams because of medicine. because i have epilepsy and i take lamotrigine  and it doesn't let me dream


Dreams happen in another dimension! It's the only way all of that jibber jabber u told us could make sense! (no offense but I had to watch it more than once to understand) :/ I think that Luna has a power that nopony else has, entering the dream dimension! But if Luna has this strange power then what unnatural power does Celestia have? We all seen Luna appear in a bad dream to help out but when have we ever seen her in a good dream? Maybe Celestia appears in good dreams. But that still leaves something out! Luna appears to help a bad dream turn to a good dream! Celestia appears to turn a good dream into a bad dream? I don't think so!!! Maybe Celestia makes the good dream a better dream! Or else the good dream is slowly getting worse and Celestia helps fight back. When Celestia is defeated (which can happen! It's a dream world right!? Dreams r very powerful!!!) Luna takes over and gets rid of the darkness for good. Then the pony wakes up!


I promise, this isn't fake, A few years ago I was sitting next to my friend on the bus, and we weren't really doing anything so I asked her about her dream last night.  I realized something. I had that same exact dream. I told her, and we both started flipping out. Does anyone know what this could mean??

Being with someone your close to probably rubs off some type of aura that can stick with you or your brains operate on a similar wavelength. Or just a freak coincidence. 0_0

And a saw a fast flash illuminati in the triangle


Well umm... I... Umm... Ok iv got nothing.....


Am I the only one who say the real quick illuminati symbol


I always assumed there was a separate Dream Dimension. It is an echo of the Prime Material Plane (the 'real' world) created by the shared consciousness of all sapient beings, i.e. all creatures that can imagine or create ideas. Think of the shared consciousness as a LCD projector element, illuminated by the magical field of the Prime Material Plane, and creating a projected screen on the backdrop of higher dimensional space.

So while it is a different dimension, it is not an entirely separate universe. Everybody knows the concept that parallel universes are like numberless sheets of paper stacked on top of one another. I see them more as fluffy blankets, each universe having thickness in higher dimensional space as well as it's normal dimensions. At the 'centre' of the blanket is the Prime Material Plane of that universe, but to either side of it i8n the fluff are all the demi-planes associated with that universe. The Astral Plane, Shadow Plane, Elemental Planes, Heavens and hells, basically whatever the cosmology requires.

We know the ponies have dimensional travel (Equestria Girls), so magic to enter the Dream Realm or Tartarus (which I guess has a permanent portal, the question is why?) is certainly possible. Though that begs the question, is the Equestria Girls universe a true separate universe, or simply a demi-plane of Equestria. Or even scarier, is the reverse true?


I believe the dream plane/dimension is a very reasonable explanation. I mean, it's already been a thing in Dungeons & Dragons for ages, and I'd say that modern MLP has a lot more connection to D&D than most realize or are willing to admit. I mean, Hasbro has owned Wizards of the Coast since 1999. Anyway, regarding dream planes of existence:
http://www.candlekeep.com/library/articles/regionofdreams.htm
http://eberron.wikia.com/wiki/Dal_Quor


I think you might have something there with the dreams being in a separate dimension. Though, if that's the case, then Luna is actually stronger than Celestia if she has the same ability that Discord has (as you showed in Make New Friends But Keep Discord).
Does that also mean that, in a way, Luna should have far more say in the rulings of Equestria? Yes, we understand that Celestia is the 'goddess of the sun' but Luna can go into dimensions (if that's the case) so just a bit more powerful if used correctly/wisely. Heck, I'm surprised that Nightmare Moon didn't attempt to tap into that ability (again, if that's the case). Can you imagine the serious damage she could have made in the dream realm?
Anyway, I digress and I do think that it would be interesting if the dreams were in a dimension all by themselves :)


Two things: 1) at the begining of the video, you said "boy do I have a theory." Shouldn't you have had a notion?<br>2) ever read wheel of time? I think that telanroihd(my appologies if I misspelled that) explains this quite well.  If not then... It is an alternate reality which experienced and well trained people can enter physicaly, like real luna did in this  episode, and can also be mentaly manipulated, plenty of examples for that point.  And, thusly, if something were created in pony telanrhoid,  then that thing could, with enough power, escape into the real world. Like the tentabus almost did. Also, dreamwalkers. Seriously, just read the series, it'll be faster.

Personally, I think that there is always some sort of tether between the dream and real world when a pony/human sleeps. That connection can be severed, causing the mind, which is in the dream world, to stay there. At least, until going to the afterworld.


It gets even MORE complicated if you read FIENDship is Magic #4, where we learn what happened to Nightmare Moon directly following her banishment, and even the nature of the banishment itself. As it turns out, living on the moon are a species called the Nyx, and they actually craft the dreams of ponies and other sentient creatures. By the end of the story, Luna has taken control of the Nyx and has decided to spend her banishment tormenting the dreams of ponies.


From what I have learned (please bear with me, or correct me if something is inaccurate) when you dream, you astral project (the projection of a "copy" (it's possible it's not a copy) of your conscience into another dimension). (Those "white-string things that Luna uses to connect to dreams, I find very similar to your "silver cord" in the astral realm.) Though, your conscience, or a copy of it, is in the astral realm, it is unconscious. You are conscious in your dream. The dreaming is in your head, not in the astral realm, yet, it is possible (whether conscious or unconscious) to visit other people in their dreams.
But that still doesn't quite explain why a whole town would be able to be put in the same dream by Luna.

What about this:  It's like a dyson sphere; it's a  world in a small bubble.  What if Luna can create a world in her mind and make a "tunnel" that allows selected beings to enter, thus, making shared dreams, allowing beings to communicate in the same realm.

That's all I've got. In my mind, it explains much.


Well... It's complicated. When Luna goes into the dreams of others via the string, she just releases her consciousness into those of other ponies'. When there is a shared dream, she splits her conscience up to bring all the other consciences together in one dream. However, it was too hard to split up her conscience into enough pieces for all of Ponyville, so she had to literally transport herself into the giant dream while protecting herself from  being affected by it using the bubble. This isn't the first time we've seen a pony warp to another dimension. In Magical Mystery Cure, we see Princess Celestia take Twilight into a magical dimension using her alicorn magic. (This is a dimension where only alicorns can go.) So, if you have the right magic, you can travel to other dimensions, and the dream world is indeed another dimension created by the consciences of the ponies. Each pony has their own separate dimension to play around in. That being said, Cadence, Celestia, and Twilight don't have the proper magic to go into the dream world. Luna is the only one who does. I believe someday Twilight will discover a new dimension herself! One that can only be accessed by her and her friends. At least that's what I think.


You.are.AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!! I, as a fellow conspiracy theorists, was able to catch up and I realized something. That it was similar to my theory except it's is ten times more detailed and is going down a different path.I think that luna made the dream dimension along with the tantabis. She made it to punish herself even more by making it seem more real, what she didn't know is that it made a whole nother world, the dream dimension. So when the tantabis 'escaped for the first time' it actually didn't. It got it first power from bloom and gloom, where luna allowed other ponies into the dimension making the shared dream of the cms. That gave the tantabis enough power to leave. It's been sneaking away, until luna caught it in her first dream  in Do princesses... Once it was caught, the tantabis decided to infect the dreams of powerful ponies, the main 6, to get enough energy to leave into the real world. The rest is history. I hope u consider my theory. And as always BRO HOOF!


Ever since the first time we saw Twilight go to another location, that wasn't achieved by normal means of transportation, (walking, train, flying, and so on) we knew that there were different..... I'm going to go with "realms" where a world can be similar to another. So it's quite passable that a dream is both in the mind and another realm. Some are harder to get to then others. When we watch the Ponies we ourselves are watching another realm. A book, a show, a movie, and to some existent a play. Are each a different world that someone was at first one person's that he or she made the door for others to go though and enter. So not is there only a dream realm but everything that can dream has multiple worlds in their own mind in their own realm. Luna has the ability to connect to those under her care and help, "lead"  the dreamer to learn a lesson. Though it's actually the dreamer or "world holder" that is making the changes. Because they are in some-pony's head Luna is able to make her own connection to those under her care.


Considering what people can do in a lucid dream, and some people's theories in the lucid dreaming community, this really does make sense.


I LOVE THIS DEPTH
IT IS AMAZING
(and yes, I was able to keep up... though I may have a slight advantage, seeing how last night I literally figured out all of the possible colors representable by the RGB color scheme in my sleep...(as in, I figured out that it was 255^3 in my dream, and I was right))


Also, think of Carl Jung and the theory of Shared Subconscious. I would say the alternate dimension might be oversimplifying things. The Tantabus, a being of Luna's subconscious, learned of the Mane 6 via Luna's subconscious representations of them, and therefore they would be linked in the shared subconscious. Once it infested the dreams of the others, it gained strength. But the shared subconscious is linked to the conscious through memory and... other things.(it's been a LOONG time since I've looked this stuff up.) When you throw in the fact that this world is saturated with magic, and unicorns use their horn through mental focus to warp these energies, if one were to fall to the Tantabus and it used their connection to the Aether, it could take incorporeal form in the real world until such time as the Chaos requires form and draws unto itself the appendages necessary to carry out its nefarious schemes.

tl:dr= Tantabus is a dream-virus mind-fuck that can turn into Discord.


My theory: Share dreams need those lines to their heads. Usual dream-walking is easy. But share dreams are difficult. And I can even explain the first time Luna went into Mane 6 dreams. She had to have a connection between them, so she could move into dream to dream. Back to the share dreams. Luna needed everypony minds to create share dreams. And those white lines are access to everypony minds.

I made even my head hurt with that


It's lucid dreaming gone too far. For those who don't know lucid dreaming happens when you become aware of the fact you are dreaming and thus you start controlling the dream. So that's why all the ponies were able to do whatever they want including turning into a princess.


each time some one takes a choise a new dimention is made for you taking the opposite choise, its clearly possible that each living being has its own space within infinte to build its own dimention by its own rules, in what we call dreams, luna riftwalks btween this dimentions, but connecting all dreams, thats HER making a poket dream dimmention where all connects, she is awake to keep the dimention solid, as in past episodes where no threads are seen she is probably sleeping aswell and using its passive astral form to walk among dreams, not actively manipulating them


You said it yourself Luna is the server. She could have zapped everypony from their dreams & ran a simulation within her mind. With only one dream running the tantibus had no alternative. With that power she could easily concenter her form.


The Dreamworld could be an own Dimension and connects everyponys dreams to one big system. That's why Luna can switch from dream to dream.


I think that the dream world involves both the mind and the dream dimension. Just like how Luna(in theory) has a dream self that she controls, each pony has a dream self that they don't know about.  I think that when they dream their dream pony gets sent to the dream dimension. Which usually has separate places for ponies, but in the instance where the dream dimension is manipulated by a pony with the right kind of power (usually Luna) it can join together. Think of it as a puzzle. Each piece has a different part of the dream dimension, but when influenced by magic the puzzle pieces come together creating one big world. Also in theory, I think that even when the dream dimension is all put together, the ponies don't share the exact same dream and experience the same things. I think that the share something similar but only Luna has the power to make the exact same dream for every pony. I suppose that if Twilight studied with Luna she might be able to pull of the spell that brings together the dream dimension. But she won't be able to create the same dream for everypony. I think that the power to create a shared dream lies with Princess Lina alone. And that is my ridonkulously long theory


Luna made it pretty clear, her physical, material self was in their dreams, she specifically mentioned that she was in their dreams in a physical form. Please go back and watch the episode.


tbh, it could be a multitude of things, but seeing as Luna was able to go into the mane 6's 'dream lands' at the same time and not have magic lines, but with a multitude of ponies, u see those magic lines; it could be just her magic in itself can only limit so many ponies at the same time, possibly 10 give or take, but including every single pony in ponyville, and have them share the same dream, then it could just be she had strained herself on her magic, being an alicorn could possibly being the only thing from destroying herself. that bubble around her could have just been a simple sign that she was using too much magic at one given time. So i believe it wasnt a dream dimension, but her subconscious working through the others minds, like a link. the share dream could be in her head, thus the point of magic lines being visible. I hope I explained your dream dimension theory in my own way.


Perhaps it was necessary for real Luna to enter that dream because it was a different dream than all the other dreams she had been a part of. The amount of power needed to hold together the massive dream required the physical presence of her real self, which we know by the white strings that connected all the ponies.


I think it's possible that the dream world is a different dimension or realm that pony's can only travel to while asleep. Also I think the only reason we've never seen the strings that connect her to there dreams is because she does it while she's asleep so it's easier for her to travel through the dreams of others and such and so she doesn't need to do that. Or there's also the possibility that the string show the dream world is just a part of the pony's consciousness and mind and since the Tantabus was created by Luna that could be the only reason it could possibly escape to the real world


One thing occurred to me: why didn't the mane 6 use their dream powers to fight off the tantabus when it was in their individual dreams?

though now that I think about it: in bloom and gloom Scoot didn't fly in her own dream but she did during their shared dreams. maybe that's a special property of a dream created by Luna.


They say that since we spent at least 20 years of our life dreaming, it could be considered an alternate dimension


Maybe the reason Luna's mane was different for the first episode, was because her mane we see in season 2,3,4 and 5 is the tantabus or gives the allusion of the tantabus to remind her of the pain she caused !!!! What do you think of my theory ????????


Maybe every dream is in one of the pony's brain, and Luna just hacked into their dreams. Shared dreams? That's Luna link several dreams together. And Luna is the router. But in that episode, maybe it's that Luna makes every pony into her dream, so that something different happens.

But what about the nightmare? Well what about the Equestria itself is a big dream hosted by Celestia? Every pony is switching between the two dreams over and over again. Well that's too much matrix style. But I can explain in a non-matrix way.

In my theory, Equestria is a cocoon built by Celestia. And even if cocoon is not matrix, Celestia can still create illusion to every pony. In order to create illusion, you need to access their brains. So, if the cocoon already has link with every pony's brain, then nightmare can use these links too.


or, the mind in a demechon in itself, and when luna jones the dreams together she's really just placing the dream versions of all the ponies in one demechion, or one dream, INCLUDING the tatibus, which, would fallow the dream pony, not the dream itself


What if each pony has their own dimension and luna can just connect them. The portals to these dimensions can only be opened by the ponies sleeping subconscious. If that were true luna actually can walk dimensions and not dreams. This could also explain the strain on luna concidering with every sientific theory about dimension walking it would take a ton of power. No wonder luna was exhausted

Oh hey and I would love to discuss theories with anypony in my kik.  kikiya01234


What about when she was Nightmare Moon? Is it harder to affect dreams at distance, or did the moon somehow seal her magic?


I see and even the Dreaming/Physical Luna doesn't conflict because maybe she needs energy to create Dream Luna and she was using it all to keep track of Ponyville.


Hmm that certainly is very interesting theory and a good one at that. If it all happened in one dimension (dreaming) it would make sense because thise times where people share a dream thry have to be linked to something somehow. Also I got your reference really man? That movie? Really?


It's kind of happening in their brains and they're in a different dimension. Their brains sort of create a trigger to transport them into the dream dimension. That's just my thought but that's just how think of it


I always thought of it as a dimension where everypony usually has their cozy corner.


Ok... I think they have the dreams in their heads and then when they wake up the dreams go to the dream world. Because Luna had that bubble around her when she was connecting to ponies dreams I think it was the strain of her magic being shown and she had a bubble to show it.


My theory is that luna needs the strings only when its more than one pony.And in that episode (dream ponyville) the real life luna had to be there because dream lunas power wasnt enough to keep the massive dream going on.what do you think about my theory?


This episode could have something to do with the game Mario and Luigi dream team because in the game,Luigi can sleep on a pillow and Mario can enter a dream world.Then Luigi can enter the dream,but in a dreamy form.So now back to my little pony,maybe the real world and the dream world are separate dimensions,just like u said in the video.

So the thingy Luna made has A TON of magic to break a path between both dimensions.


When you started talking about the server and pc stuff I started laughing and thought, Luna got to get one of those intel xeons to host shared dreams. :P


I think it's another dimension, but only the pony's spirit can access it. Kinda like an out of body experience.


I'm all for the separate dimension theory!


This is my idea. Maybe since it takes so much power to hold the dream together Luna can't waste magic making her horn not glow in dream land


wait,if all the dreams were in one dimension then luna could just enter everypony's dreams by only connecting one string of magic to one pony,I think each pony has their own dream dimension and that shared dreams are either one pony moving to anthers dream dimension or the combining of said demensions.


0:24 This is a magic world where ponies have special talents and talk. They can defeat magical, mythical creatures. I don't think that you should question this world.


I think it is all in pony's minds and "Dream Luna" just enters the pony's minds which are dreaming at the time.


i think everything happens in the mind i studied this and there is diffrent cords to every dream they are each kept safely in each cord. every cord leads some were to the mind but i csn't explain how it happens to ponies that takes alot of thinking to type it in it is complicated. i hop my researches help you!


I think the reason Luna was in a weird bubble and the magic was coming out is probably cause the dream was soooo big that made her weak so she had to show her magic


In the second movie when twilight was being nerdy and tried to explain scientifically what she did to the portal, she mentioned something about "three spacial dementions"... Could the dream world be demention number 3???


Manly in the dream world which Luna created was something to keep her up instead of actually sleeping<br>So she can be punished until the end of the episode

So she can be punished until the end of the episode


It is a seperate dimension. The proof is, I've had shared dreams and the people that I've  shared them with (like me) have had dreams in those places before. But also that bears the question of if we also have our own small dimensions due to the fact that multiple people can be having dreams about the same place at the same time, but they never see each other. If you want to, please message me about this later. I'm supposed to be writing an essay right now.


But if you can do anything in a dream, couldn't anypony just have went like "Oh, well I decide that blue smoke thing is now 50 kilometers underground. :D" ?

If you want to think like that, you can imagine this could be like a lucid dream where you can control things. However, you can not always control everything, even if you do know it's a dream. There are some things, sometimes, that you can't actually do anything about. Plus, if the theory that dreaming is like an alternate universe, they wouldn't be able to control it that easily anyway.

@Ashley Hayward That, or it's just because it would be inconvenient for the story so nopony tought of it.

I thought that also! I was thinking the whole time"I would just imagine that it was in a big box that it couldn't esape from!" But I can't blame the writers.they proboly didn't know you could do that when you are lucid dreaming. (BTW I can lucid dream)


one thing in the episode that does support you is that the Tantabus entered Luna when it was defeated. I she took the spell that created it back into herself.


it happens in an alternate dimension...Do you know the movie of pokemon where Giratina appeared?its almost the same as that...As some theory goes,our souls splits from our bodies and wanders around until we wake up...I dont know what this theory is called but i have an addition to it. Whenever the soul comes out of a person its may or maynot visit another dimension...If you already watched Pokemon diamond and pearl movies,Im pretty sure you would have solved this one by a split second. and yes dreams occur in a different dimension,kinda like a phone call.


Man all that stuff he explained is complicated and a bit mind blowing that it was making my brain hurt


Notion in your theory's so far you have talked about 5 separate dimentions if you put captions on Netflix on the rainbow rocks movie. When twilight explains the  portal she says "across 3 spatial dimensions." But this theory is a good one it kind of explains why Bon Bon and Lyra had the same dream.


Bring notion, I have an epic theory on the crusader's cutiemarks!!! U know how most pony's names r based on there cutiemarks , such as, twilight sparkle, who has a star and sparkles? Well, if the same thing happens to the crusaders then this is my theory. Scootaloo may never have the ability to fly but, she has a scooter to ride so her wings r useful, so if I'm correct, her cutiemark must do something with her scooter. As for sweetie belle, she wants to b like her sister, she has belle in her name so her cutiemark should have something to do with belles. And finally apple bloom. This doesn't make much sense but I'm thinking her cutiemark will b about planting and caring for apple trees until they're fully grown???? I'm not sure but its always made me think.


what if brains travel to dream dimension and luna traveled with all her body and strings are coming to the real world by some kind of void?


Interesting theory. What i'll never accept though is that the human world (or should i say Doug-world if you know what i mean) exists in the MLP reality too as a seperate dimension.

Yep, still pissed about those movies.


Luna had to be there so the mane six could tell her to forgive herself for what she had done while in the form of Nightmare Moon.


that would mean that luna could not be in the "real" dimension to conect everypony to the dream.... so either the "real" luna from the "real" dimension can dupicate or exsist muptiple times in multiple dimesions at the same time!


Wait, Sharkboy and Lavagirl is an obscure reference?
Am I old, or has almost no one seen it?
I flippin loved that movie when I was little.


See here is my theory she was acting as a "server" for the dream.  The shared dream was her dream that she created and she brought everyone into her mind.  The tantibus escaping would not mean it would manifest itself into the real world as the "black mist" but rather it would take over the server.  Sort of like a virus can take over a computer or even an entire network the tantibus could theoretically take over Equestria through infecting dreams once it escapes.


The corridor of dreams, luna can enter any she likes. In that one episode where luna took sweetie belle to the dream corridor.. thus must mean any pony with strong enough magic can enter


The Tantibus is a reference to Darkrai and the Dream World from Pokemon is also referenced.


OK I am typing this before your intro. have you ever watched teenage mutant ninja turtles (2012 version) well in an episode called Dream Beavers, I think, the crazy dude pretty much brought those evil beavers from his mind, bringing fiction into their reality. So maybe what happened was similar?


You have to check out the new friendship games trailer and when you do you'll be surprised who runs the school<br>


I think that Luna created dream her too but it took too much magic for her to multitask any way that's my theory


It probly depends, the more ponies the more chance of a real Luna, the less ponies the greater the chance of fictional luna


I always had this question...
Is Luna nocturnal?


Also, in an episode Scootaloo has a nightmare about the headless horse. Luna enters scootaloos mind. I wonder if the same white streaks happend


I think the mind of a pony is the dream dimension.<br>


I think that everything happened în Luna's mind <br>Because that bad little thing was a part of her bad side . I think that that little purple or Black cloud was trying to escape from Luna's mind all the time and those wires conected her mind with other ponies

Hey, Brony Notion do you think the shadow monster was Nightmare Moon?


Am I the only one that cried in that episode?<br>I mean POOR LUNA :'(

Am I the only one that cried in that episode?

When you can't explain something in mlp - it's another dimension deal with it.


or are we the dreams of some other pony's reality? :3


Who else wants the Brony Notion to do face reveal?! :D /)


I think we reached the Bloodborne level of Lovecraftian Lore, in MLP.
But Dreamworlds are not so uncommon.
So congratulation ponies Nightmare Slain! Now on your knees, an i cut you out from the Hunters Dream  :)


I would say since I there are other dimensions that the dream realm is a dimension and doesn't happen in the mind but in an alternate dimension.


Does that mean that every pony is a 'ponyvillian'?!


the dream world could be a different dimension but in order to travel to a different dimension she would have to break through dark matter and the only force which would be strong enough to do that are worm holes also if tried that she would create a paradox with would back fire and result in failure if you want to learn more about worm holes you can check out this link:https://vimeo.com/17477895 which will go into time travel and worm holes another theory is it could also be a parallel universe or a planet in there universe/galaxy the dream world could also be a part of the brain which could also be a place in theory if there were some type of link aka prices luna after all the processes of equestrian have lived for over 10,00 years according to the first episode of mlp


Luna is the server and the ponies are the players :D<br>


I think all the Dreaming happens in a dimension instead of the head


How come all of Twilight Sparkle's old friends from Canterlot were all unicorns?


My headcannon any alicorn or unicorn could use magic to enter others dreams but the reason they don't is because it was never important but it's lunas duties


Okay. I get it. But both Lunas may not control each other. Maybe...


How can somethimg in the mind enter the real world? Um, magic?


When Luna goose into ponies dreams she teleports her self in them and only when she is using a lot of her dream power the lines show in the dreams she is in


But the question is just ponies or us that's what scares me. Anyone else?


For ze next video can ye do "Are Ponies Connected to Each Other"


If you are a changeling then why did you choose to become a earth pony in stead of a unicorn,Pegasus,or even a alicorn


When you said "dream self" my homestuck trash mind kept making comparisons


I think it's the dream demention because idk you had good reasoning!!


Intereting video and all, however, I'd like to know if you could expand your insight to other cartoons as well. Im just saying, your limiting yourself too much


I know what the thing on lunas flank is the tantumes think its a big part of her life and maybe you could theory this


You kinda lost me at, like, 20 seconds into the video...but what you are saying makes some sense...I guess


What if every ponies brain is a separate realm\dimensions an princess Luna connects them together in her realm\dimension or dream more simply so let's say where all some what correct princess Luna is the server or main dream connected to everyone dream so that would mean she is holding an entire realm up with would explain why she got tired to fast but the reason she didn't just pass would be because not the entire world of equastria was in this dream so she had enough power to keep it stable long enough for them to beat the thing please excuse my punctuation


Luna would be in the pony's mind and leading them to another dimension at the same time so they would be seeing what is in their dream while their moving in their dream.<br>ILLUMINATI CONFIRMED!

Luna would be in the pony's mind and leading them to another dimension at the same time so they would be seeing what is in their dream while their moving in their dream.
ILLUMINATI CONFIRMED!


Great observation. So confusing though. I would've never thought of those ideas!XD I'm so retarded! Lol.


@The Brony Notion is it possible the tamtafist (or how ever  you spell it) is the thing that turned luna into nightmare moon cause thats what it did in her dream and it does looks alot like nightmare moons mane


Think of magic off the pony's all the magic in equestria must of made when lunar went to the dream realm the pony imagination created it


also if you played part time job the you get the lyra and bobon refrence


i think it is all in another dimention and if ponys get dreams they get in some kind of avatar just like in the movie avatar (you no that movie with those blue people)<br>sorry for wrong spelling i am dutch XD

i think it is all in another dimention and if ponys get dreams they get in some kind of avatar just like in the movie avatar (you no that movie with those blue people)
sorry for wrong spelling i am dutch XD


it's a dimesion type of deal in fact they say it


Dear brony notion if spike the Dragon was a pony what was his cutie  Mark be please do a video on it


You could've said in <b>peoples</b> mind. Because in that case mind blown twice :) .

You could've said in *peoples* mind. Because in that case mind blown twice :) .


It's magical pastel ponies, don't question it


Sounds like hyperstring theory to me, but theoretical physics gives me a headache.


Why Starlight Glimmer and Aria Blaze look so similar


Eh I didn't really get confused 'til the end and then when he finished talking  I understood.


that makes a lot of sense I think your right


I think that the dream world IS  a dimension, but it exists in everypony's head. So, everyone has a section of the dream dimension in their head.


i think the dreams are in another dymetion.


Uh... Heck, YEAH! That would explain a lot! I bet u that C.C. is sick b/c of this show... He'd fanboy too hard!


what's the place at the end of the episode? I think it's the moon

@decaf alpaca like the moon place luna was trapped


Did anyone else spot the eye in the triangle?


Saw illuminati symbol in 4th dimension triangle and im like,

"Crap. Illuminatis here. BUY GOLD!!!!!!!!!! Listen to Grunkle Stan."


Maybe Luna's horn was white because she wasn't sleeping, like in the episode bloom and gloom, the dream luna hasn't a white horn cause she was sleeping. But why didn't she came to there dreams as the dream luna ? Maybe its in the same case as twilight in the seconded equestria girls, she created a way to go back whitout waiting 30 months... I'm so confused xD and I guess my tought is stupid .-. Just never mind :p<br>


my theroy is the tantubus has dream powers also because  luna created it so it can pass through dreams to the real world 030 i think your theroy is better though XD


@The Brony Notion I'm majorly confused now lol


DEMENTION = WTB THE DREAM DEMENTION = SOMTHIN' TOTALY DIFFERENT OMS !


Everyone is an alicorn princess and can do what ever at night =P JK


Your a Dr.Who fan??? I am too!!!!
#10th Doctor is best


Was I the only one waiting to see someone having a sexy dream?


Obscure reference : shark boy and Lava girl


I-I saw that!!! I saw the iluminati at 3:39--- I'm not going crazy!


There's a theory and here it is. Pinky is a changling


Ever notice that Moon Dancer And Daring Doo that look like Rainbow Dash and Twilight Moon Dancer and Daring Doo both represent a trait from Rainbow Dash {Adventurous} and Twilight {Book Worm} Could Moon Dancer and Daring Doo possibly be showing what Twilight and Rainbow Dash would be like if the main 6  hadn't met each other.


And you thought you could slip the illuminate (Bad spelling runs in the family(under my nose eh? NOPE

@RageKitten  If your talking about my spelling I don't give a crap. I don't care how I spell


That obscure reference wasn't very obscure. Sharkboy and Lavagirl. I don't remember which one is was, but I got the reference.

I also saw that flash of the Eye of Province. Before you say illuminati, that's not even a symbol of theirs. They used the Owl of Minerva.


Yes no error where Einstein when you need him<br>


Sorry I was stuck thinking " WHAAAA.." And being comfused


Did anybody else seem something that I won't mention get confirmed? (Hint:illuminati)


Lol pause really fast at 3:40 (illuminati confirmed)


okay so I'm really bored and currently without sound so I decided to turn on subtitles and either this vids weird of the subtitles are way off


AMYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY (sorry you showed that pic) and dreams are definitely another dimension.


I think it real i was see a youtubes she taik about her dream and her mom have her dream i think it was a nightmare becase she lost her dog and she got to a THING?


Illuminati symbol was in that weird triangle


Did you see the illuminati in the triangle?


omg i yus saw that the thing got sisers (cant type ) like from star vs forses of evil


Me: O MAY GERSH IT SHARKBOY AND LAVAGURL


I saw that illuminati in that triangle....<br>:|  ♡♡♡♡

I saw that illuminati in that triangle....
:|  ♡♡♡♡


...uhh...😮... Oh ya I think it's a damention<br>


hmm this got me thinging what if its not only  quratra rulls the dreams are another dimson what if in real life dreams are dimenisons two?


Ugh The triangle represents the all see in eye this is not a cult  beliefe many some including Christians believe in the all see in eye it just means a greater thing then us is watching are very movement


Yeah and I found another one in the video

Moonstone silver diamond team Mr. M the top heroes


3:38 for a split millisecond you can see the Illuminati THE BRONY NOTION IS ILLUMINATI CONFIRMED  DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN


My name on animal jam is saabworker I'm a arctic wolf and more animals


3:40 Pause at right time aannnnndddddddd ILLUMINATI


ILLUMINATI!!?!?!?!?!?!              also There was a very disturbing but in the brain of the pony diagram


I have a different theory, and it's quite a long-winded one, but stick with me here. What if ponies dream like we do, but the monster described is actually a magical kind of Prion (a strange type of brain-virus). Let's remember that this monster was actually created by Luna to punish herself. So obviously she would create it to only be powerful enough to alter her senses and brain while it is in a much more vulnerable state, when she is sleeping. Also, in order to give it incentive to keep her dreams negative and about what she did as nightmare moon, she creates it to feed off of her own guilt. Now, one thing about Prions is that it's hard for them to spread. A virus trying to get into the brain of pony to the brain of another is quite a feat. But perhaps the white glowing connections gives it route to spread to other ponies. Perhaps in Luna's dreams, because she is the princess of the night, and along with that, dreams, when she dreams about somepony, for a moment, she actually shares a mental connection with them. The prion has way to spread from one pony to another. Now, that might explain how the virus affects other ponies dreams, but I can hear you asking, "Well, if that's the case how does it escape into the real world?" And my answer would be that it actually doesn't. At least, not in the literal sense. Think about it. In order for this virus to truly turn reality into a nightmare it would have to have chaotic power to rival Discord's, and, to be honest, I  don't think Luna could create a creature like that. I think that as it is slowly gaining power from Luna's guilt. Almost to the point were it can start to control the brain in the much less vulnerable state of consciousness. It can trick ponies senses into seeing, hearing, and feeling things that just aren't there, effectively creating nightmares in the real world. Now, the reason Luna might have wanted to create shared dreams if this were the case was so she could help purge all the affected ponies at once, not one at a time which would be tedious and give the monster time get more powerful. Some of you might be asking, "If it is spreading, why do we only see one?" or "Why doesn't it affect all the Main 6's dreams at once if they all have the virus?" And my answer is that as we saw, while the virus is around corrupting dreams it is also vulnerable to Luna's attacks. When it sees the real Luna who has materialized herself in a dream it flees to keep from being attacked. This of course would be why creating a large shared dream would have been the best course of action, sense everypony infected was in the dream, the Prion had no other unconscious mind to run to, it would have to stay within the realms of this shared consciousness. But as it slowly gained more power, it almost got to the point where it could break out of the unconscious realm entirely, and affect ponies while they're awake as well.

I think I have explained my thoughts well enough, and my reasons as to why this will simply be my headcannon until evidence comes along to help prove or disprove it. But as for now, it's just a theory.
A PONY theory.
Thanks for reading.


My theory was that the Tantabus escaping into the real world was just part of Luna's nightmare. That couldn't really happen, Luna just believed it could, because she was letting her fears control her, and the nightmare was simply reacting to those fears.

The other possibility is that, as a creature of the mind, the Tantabus's powers would affect only the minds of ponies in the waking world if it escaped. They might see the Tantabus there, but in reality it would only exist in their minds. That is not to say the effect would not be just as devastating though. A "living nightmare" is a pretty serious problem whether it exists only in your head or not.

Maybe life is just a dream and our dreams are our real lives, explaining why I always 'wake up' when I'm about to get killed in a dream (my 'dream life' ends when I die, just like in real life). Plus it also explains why I sometimes have multiple dreams in the same 'dream location'.<br>But that's just a theory - A GAME THEORY (sorry I had to do that).

I actually came up with a theory like this a wile ago.
I was writing a story full of mythical creatures and magic where there was a dream realm held together by one witch.

It would be interesting if the staff at MLP had the same idea i did.


You forgot one major detail; ponies are magical. This means that the Tantibus doesn't have to actually exists to enter the waking world, but instead, the ponies magic brings it to life. This would also explain why Luna guards dreams in the first place, to keep nightmare's from manifesting in the real world. Perhaps this is also the origin of Nightmare Moon?


I know this isn't connected to the video, but I got this idea that what if there are more than one way for dragons to grow up? The greed is just the easiest way to grow up. What if dragons could grow up with wisdom and bravery? But that takes much more time and effort to do, so most of the dragons choose greed? It would be awesome if this was real. :3


The way I saw it, the "Dream dimension" was less of a separate dimension and more of a different plain of existance in this dimension, co-created by the minds of everypony and managed by Luna (the shared one) that is unstable.
If you saw the "Dr Strange" animated movie (and if you didn't go watch it, it's AWESOME!!!) think of the war Dorma Mu is trying to enter our dimension.
I can't exactly explain how real Luna is seen from the dreamscape, but I believe that the reason the Tentabus can escape it is because it was given enough power to materialise outside of it. It was gived semi-sentience by luna (or is a manifestation of part of her own consiouns) and it can exist on it's own it seems.


I have an OC and a whole series of stories based around my concept of the dream world. My concept is that the dream world is a pocket universe of sorts, connected to all dimensions like the boughs of a tree -- like the Norse Tree of Life, if you will -- but still separate from them. It contains its own sort of magic, but it thrives on the magic of those who touch it in their sleep (dreamers), acting as a benign parasite; and, in drawing upon dreamers' magic, the dream world is affected by the dreamers' imaginations, creating an ever-changing landscape, tiny portions of which are each contorted and dictated by an individual dreamer.

Normally, the dream and waking worlds remain separate, and, clearly, it's safest for everyone if they stay that way. The only way for someone to touch the dream world is by going to sleep and dreaming. However, there are a few who can physically visit the dream world, if they possess the ability, such as Princess Luna; these are called dreamwalkers, and, while dreamers wouldn't be in any real danger from whatever they may see or create in their dreams, dreamwalkers could potentially be harmed while within the dream world, just as anyone could normally in the waking world.

Also, because the dream world is so malleable, the various forms it has been given in the show are all perfectly accurate. Sweetie Belle wouldn't imagine the dream world in the same way as Scootaloo, nor as Apple Bloom. Even the way Princess Luna perceives the dream world is not set in stone, as she can also imagine her surroundings to suit her desires. Glimpsing the "celestial zone" through cracks in the dream world, traveling from one dream to another via doors and blossoming apples and birdhouses, and even the "hall of doors"/"Monsters, Inc." reference scene from "Bloom and Gloom" are all plausible, and they can change from episode to episode without a break in continuity.

So, in answer to your prompt, I believe the dream world is DEFINITELY a separate world/dimension/pocket universe all its own.


I think that the Tantabus is different then actual dreams, since it was created with magic, whereas in dreams, the ponies and their minds exist within the real world, and the things that happen inside the dreams are the ponies' minds working. I think that the dream world being a different dimension is a plausible theory, but I think it's only the Tantabus that can exit it. Also, I believe that the wire-thing that leads to ponies' heads only appears when Luna has to reach the dreams of more then, maybe, three, and that it doesn't appear either after a while or in the pony's dream. I believe it only appeared in the shared dream because Luna had to create that dream for everyone in Ponyville and maybe even more, considering how many ponies Pinkie Pie knows. That was a huge strain on her magic, and so the physical appearance of Luna at that moment showed up in the dream.


I personally feel like a small piece of the dimension is within the minds of those ponies. I mean, it makes sense. Luna's magic strings could be like Discord's claw mark to that puppet dimension.


what I always believed that when someone dreams I is just a collection of electrons that gather creating a big ball of energy. depending on how strong the waves are it can manifest itself into the real world. goes with nightmares believe in it too much it will become. scary. lol that is just the tip of what I believe. that's just what I think anyway. love your videos.


Technically our mind connects to the dream realm where our dreams and everyone is connected somehow. It's like an afterlife but where dreams appear. We don't pick our dreams. It's like the dream dimension is connected to what we are scared of really that is how we have nightmares. Luna can penetrate the dream realm to help us with our fears of our own  dimension.


Hmmm interesting theory. I think you're right about the real Luna in shared dream. I always headcannoned Luna's dream realm as another dimension. It's just... why only she can enter it. Maybe Discord can too but that's not the point. Why she has those powers? Can Celestia do it too? Some answers come with more questions.


Weirdly enough, this actually makes sense. I must be applying Homestuck logic again. Dammit! Anyway, I think that the shared dream that Luna created is similar to a dream bubble (if you don't know what that is, look in the Homestuck wiki) except that instead of entering a separate bubble, as in normal dreams, the ponies' "dreamselves" are all brought to a single bubble. And when Luna visits one pony's dream, she simply transports her "dreamself" between bubbles (and sweetie belle and scootaloo's in bloom and gloom).


I got so lost towards the end, but then I thought about what u said in pieces. I would believe that there is a dream dimension that all creatures (not only ponies) can enter. Luna just must be able to enter it through like a portal to physically be there and ponies and others enter through the mind.


I actually think that luna (being the only pony to visit ponies in their sleep) can also dreamwalk when asleep.
think about it if somebody needed help waay past luna's sleeping patern she could as well sense this and travel to that dream without using much of her magic.
that would explain why she had such limited time in sleepless in ponyville.

I agree with you that dreams take place in alternate dimensions to our own, but i have my own twist to it. Let's start with Pinkie Pie (never a good sentence starter); i remember in a previous video you discussed the liability that Pinkie is psychic, and elsewhere you mentioned that maybe the human world has dreams about their pony counterparts, and may explain why Pinkie could tell every detail about the other world to the rest of the Mane 6 since she could be the anomalous exception to the humans who don't remember the dreams, because when isn't she the exception xD. That would also explain why they have their pony's Cutie Marks on their clothes, they saw the picture in a dream and wanted to wear it (though you also said that the mark appears on their clothes, which I wouldn't think is correct since humans have no magic besides the HuMane 6, and magic is what gives ponies Cutie Marks). Anyway, going back to dreams, I believe that when we dream, there isn't a separate dream dimension that we access through our unconscious minds, I believe that there are alternate universes, and that if you can think it, it is happening somewhere, even if in a parallel universe. In our dreams, we can see into these universes in such detail. I believe that applies to the real world, though in the series about magical ponies, I bet the dimension existing only for dreams that Luna can access through her dream walking is true. I might even take it a step further and say Luna created that dimension. Plus the Sharkboy and Lavagirl reference, I love you even more :D (sorry for so much typing, sometimes i can't help myself)


I think that if a person in a dream is able to realise that they are dreaming, will be freely able to control said dream. Given enough experience, they might experience something like in mlp. There is also the "endless hallway" type of nightmare, where all the doors are locked, and you can't get out. What if all those doors are just "doorways" to the dreams of other people? With Luna being the princess of dreams and the night, the doors would all be unlocked for her.


My Theory:<br>Dreams Do occur in other Dimensions why, because when a pony does to sleep their brains need time to process so it sends their self-conscious to the Dream Dimension which are usually Past Memories and Secret Wishes. The mind sends the Self-Conscious there so it can't slow down the process, process. So Dream Luna (Luna's sub-conscious, not self-) can go into ponies dreams and help them if needed. In this episode Physical Luna connects to all the ponies in Ponyville and defeats the Tartapus. If Physical Luna didn't have the force bubble around her in the Ponyville Dream it would probably break the boundaries of the Dimensions, cause the Dream Dimension to intersect with the Physical dimension, and allow all entities to roam each others world freely, but would cause havoc and a huge mental strain on Luna and the other Ponies. So the may long, strange, theory comment below your opinion and/or theories, - Winter Out!

This is my theory.
both of it happens, both in the heads of pony's and a separate dimension.

Let me explain
when one pony sleeps he/she create a pocket reality in his/her own head of which luna can access separately and the tantabus can move from dream to dream from the visuals it has witnessed by seeing the ponies in the different dreams

but when luna made a united dream she actually created a seperate dimension and that could be why it drained her of strength and how the tantabus could get out. from this POV the tantabus seem quite actually really cunning, getting Luna to create a seperate dimension so It CAN escape into the real world by making a rift between the two dimensions like discord did.


The tantibus is a magical creature created by luna and feed off of her guilt. It would have the same abilities as luna and feed off of her guilt, not the power of the other ponies. This means that every time the tantibus moved from one dream to another and spread to other ponies, it wouldn't be the power from the other ponies, but luna's guilt that triggered it to grow. Of corse this is happening inside of everyone's head who is connected to the dream. If it was another dimension, then ponies would have interconnecting dreams without the need of luna and certainly more often. From what we know so far, ponies dreams will not clash because if it did, the main 6 dream about fixing luna in the first scene and that wouldn't likely have been the case.


Yeah I think that ponies' dreams happen in a dream dimension :) I never thought about it until I saw your theory, great video :)


That's deep man. I think dreams are exaggerated reality. We sometimes feel and understand dreams to be special but not all the time.


I just believe when we dream, we are in the mind of another being seeing his whole day but can only process snip and bits of it


How does this dimension work? It's always different each night, right? And some ponies dream of the day, others dream of the night. Everyone in their dreams are different.  When a pony isn't dreaming, does another personality take place of the body in the Dream Dimension, or does it sleep?  Also, is it possible that the dimension was like a multiverse, and it wasn't until that night that it became one thing, but then afterward, it split? The Tantabus (Screw spelling fictional names correctly) only needed one person's dream after it would have gained enough power hopping from each dream.  Wouldn't each pony have their own versions of every other pony in town?  There are just so many questions to try to answer with any certainty.
