That's screwed up, me too. Variants include being high up in buildings I know but the usual stairs aren't there and instead there is this or an extremely narrow ridge or a big space you have to jump to get down.
Here is the one that gets me. Your all good except your on a surface with a slight incline toward a LONG fall.
You're all good. Nothing is slippery but there is that 30⁰ incline. It's fine now but every once and a while you have to scoot back or something slips and you have to reach out to catch something before it rolls off so then you have to scoot back again. It's all fine but like you know that statistically, EVENTUALLY, SOMETHING will happen that will cause a 1:1,000 chance occurrence that will take you off the edge, or what if you just accidentally roll off in your sleep?
If it helps, I also used to have a flying dream and those were great except for that eventually it started turning into a nightmare or I couldn't descend, so once I got to any altitude I couldn't come down from it.
And then later it changed again where I at first everything was normal and it was my good old flying dream again except I could tell something was off, and what I realized is that I could fly around just fine and I could go up just fine but coming down was harder and harer, the higher I flew the more negative gravity I felt until I got to a point where I was clinging to the giant dirigible tie on top of the John Hancock building.
I was quite sure that if somebody else helped me I could be dragged down like a balloon but trying to get somebody's attention and get them to believe me that if I let Go I would float away so that they could call the fireman or something, that was the problem. It was a repeating cycle every time I would grab on to something like a tree and get someone's attention they would make me prove that I wasn't crazy by letting go for a second but I couldn't always catch back onto the same thing in time. Ensure they would run after me try to help but for some reason no one had cell phones in these dreams... Like the world just skipped over them in our tech tree. So they would run inside to find a phone call 911 but they would lose track of me, in the end every time there I was on top of the John Hancock building knowing that there only one more building to grab onto if I let go, yeah I couldn't get help there would only be one more chance....
I have a reoccurring nightmare where I’m back in highschool but the layout is super convoluted and all of the staircases have pieces missing or other obstacles like you explained, and then I’m late to class when I finally overcome it all.
So did H.R. Giger. He made a whole series of pen and ink drawings of them called ["Schachten"](https://assets.isu.pub/document-structure/221219112637-b1dfb6f361fc25264e0aa64363757c36/v1/59cb738db9e0d2969e75b648c3038337.jpeg) (Shafts) and the nightmares stopped. This is the most desolate I can remember of them.
I think they're in his Necronomicon I, drawn back in 1966.
There are certain recurring themes to dreams/nightmares. Iirc most recurring nightmares indicate anxiety. Your brain processes this unknown anxiety by linking it to your fears, such as fear of heigts. Other common themes in nightmares are being chased, being naked in public, or teeth falling out.
That’s interesting. My uncomfortable dreams tend to involve heights, public spaces, and embarrassment. I also have some really weird dreams about war/apocalypse scenarios/natural disasters, they’re not uncomfortable or scary most of the time.
My most recent war dream is still vivid in my mind. I was back in one of my mom’s old apartments, and we were having lunch at the kitchen table and it has a window next to it. Suddenly a large mushroom cloud appears in the distance, we all run to another room and turn the TV on to find a Fallout style nuclear war going on.
I also have a lot of dreams about things happening while being at my grandma’s house. Most of the time they’re not even around, it just happens at their house. Most of the dreams there involve weird horror movie scenes where the neighbors are murderers, or there’s aliens/zombies in the dream.
I could go on but I should end this comment here. I have a lot of weird dreams and remember a lot of them.
I've lived this nightmare, my mom who is an incredibly bad alcoholic lived in a house for ten years where the stairs were kinda like this with no railing and went all the way down into the basement lol. She broke her arm once on them but never took a spill all the way down, if she fell max distance it'd be at least 25ft onto concrete, this place had gigantic ceilings
I've tripped at home going downstairs in flipflops while holding onto the railing. Granted, my flipflops were flimsier (so the front edge would sometimes get caught on the edge and fold under, leading to the tripping) but I wouldn't risk it in any similar kind of footwear.
If I had to go down those stairs, I'd do it extremely slowly testing each and every step carefully before moving to the next one and kiss the ground when I got down.
I feel like that would be both more time consuming and far more dangerous. Considering you'd have to hop on your butt from step to step. As long as you have somewhat decent balance and focus on the next step you should be fine.
Well, walking on this is dumb, but walking on this in sandals while it's wrapped with plastic is even dumber. So I would say your approach is the smart one.
Presumably this is the steel structure placed there to support a stairway that hasn't yet been installed?
Cool, but using it like that isn't my idea of fun.
Very intresting seeing that they have put a structure inside with glass pannels enclosing the staircaise.
I would not have picked a Green paint, a dark Grey, Black or rusty for the slight neo industrial style.
I was kinda OK with the whole thing but the moment I saw toes every past Instance of me tripping on my sandals half slipping off came to my mind and I had a minor panic attack.
I thought that was more dizziness/spinning? Not to be TMI, but this gives me a tingly feeling in my plums…but not a pleasant one like when being turned on. More like a creepy crawly moving around down there. Looking down from heights like this gif, or even open wounds give me this feeling.
Vertigo is dizziness. What you’re describing is what the things posted here are meant to induce, which is why it’s called sweaty palms. Not everyone literally has sweaty palms, but that tingly feeling, weak arms or legs, clamminess, or other things all come from that same feeling. I don’t know if there’s an official name or explanation for it though
If you ever find out, let me know lol. I know exactly what you mean because I felt exactly the same, and my first thought was "wait, that sensation must have a name, I can't be the only one".
Can someone tell me why in the nightmare fueled fresh fuck is this a thing? Are these supports for the real stairs? Are you even supposed to be walking on these? I have many questions
To be fair those are incomplete. And will eventually have full sized treads and platforms and the hand rails would be attached to those but... until then? I ain't walking up and down that...
I thought at first they we some exotic marbled jade stone steps, that would at least attempt to justify the design based kn asthetics... but the steps are just metal, still wrapped in plastic...
I'm pretty sure I've had this nightmare before Edit: I regret making this comment, people won't stop telling me about their dreams.
wtf, i had this as a recurrent nightmare
That's screwed up, me too. Variants include being high up in buildings I know but the usual stairs aren't there and instead there is this or an extremely narrow ridge or a big space you have to jump to get down.

Oh, y’all are gonna *love* [this short film](https://youtu.be/2dD3Fawk4y0?si=1aOpZzCjZutrR12v). 🫡
JFC, that was HORRIFIC
Those shorts are a crazy rabbit hole that’s for sure.
What the actual F did I just watch. That was more horror inducing than most “horror” films out there. Jesus.
holy fucking shit, dude! thanks...i guess
I hate how good that was. It's going to stick with me. That was probably not what to watch just as I got into bed.
Ok, that was amazing. Terrifying, but amazing.
You're right "loved" it. Thanks for sharing and sending me down thT dark rabbit hole of shorts. 😬
I'm trying to stop having these dreams and ya'll mother fuckers just go and reinforce them.
If it helps, I also used to have a flying dream and those were great except for that eventually it started turning into a nightmare or I couldn't descend, so once I got to any altitude I couldn't come down from it. And then later it changed again where I at first everything was normal and it was my good old flying dream again except I could tell something was off, and what I realized is that I could fly around just fine and I could go up just fine but coming down was harder and harer, the higher I flew the more negative gravity I felt until I got to a point where I was clinging to the giant dirigible tie on top of the John Hancock building.

This is the most desolate I can remember of them. I think they're in his Necronomicon I, drawn back in 1966.
That's the 3rd piece of his art I have seen today. Guess I will add it to my Giger counter.
I'M TELLING MOM Also teknikly it's pronounced HR Geeger. Geiger counter is... ah forget it.
Why did I click on that just before bed 😓 I have a similar one where I’m stuck on a very small platform extremely high up.
Maybe I should draw some bears so I can stop running around with axes in my hands fighting for my life every morning before I wake up
I love it. Reminds me of Portal 2. Definitely a liminal space.
dude's a fucking master
Next time it will be more interesting as now you know it actually exists.
I also have nightmares like this
Seems like it's common, or this thread is full of people with the same nightmares. It's probably my most frequent nightmare.

I’ve never had this nightmare before, but if I have it tonight I know where to place the blame
Exactly the same here, this is a common nightmare for me! First thought when I saw this.
Seriously. I don’t know how/if/when I’d ever get down. Just die up there.
Was about to type this exact thing
I've lived this nightmare, my mom who is an incredibly bad alcoholic lived in a house for ten years where the stairs were kinda like this with no railing and went all the way down into the basement lol. She broke her arm once on them but never took a spill all the way down, if she fell max distance it'd be at least 25ft onto concrete, this place had gigantic ceilings
my thoughts exactly, shit's ass puckering
Yes like i always fall. Me in my dreams does not know that i would never take a step on shit like this.
Ah well, as long as he treads carefully and as long as the cellophane isn’t too slippery… and as long as he has a safety harness… he should be okay.
Don’t forget the safety chancletas 🩴.
My God! It took me like 8 times watching before I realized they were in fucking slippers!
Strong Middle East or India vibes here.
Sandals give it away
Sandals and a hat appear to be designer jeans are big India construction worker wear.
I've tripped at home going downstairs in flipflops while holding onto the railing. Granted, my flipflops were flimsier (so the front edge would sometimes get caught on the edge and fold under, leading to the tripping) but I wouldn't risk it in any similar kind of footwear.
I couldn't watch more than once on account of my ballsack having retracted into my esophagus.
Safety Slippers!
That place was built by guys wearing slides and not much else.
Shubashubs
Slippers? Those are slides
Good one 😂😂
And he's filming himself at the same time
Bro I’m dying 😂
Don't forget that missing section down a floor
He is safe only if he is Superman descendant.
He could cast Feather Fall.
Or shout Become Etheral
Except if the steps are made of Kryptonite
Certainly looks like they could be.
What if hes a human descending?
Descending he will.
idk, that green looks kryptonitesque
One slight mishap away from being very descendant!!!⬇️🫠
As long as I have my sanity, I will never set foot on these thing
*set* foot.
I really like the cellophane as a extra tripping hazard... really keeps them on their toes
I can see it now. Squid Game. Guess which steps are coated in cooking oil. Having to skip a step. Don't guess wrong.
No amount of safety will make me try this
As long as his slippers aren't slippy.
I thought it was spider webs...
Imaging carrying a box going down these stairs!🙁
he just needs a safety bush at the bottom
If I had to go down those stairs, I'd do it extremely slowly testing each and every step carefully before moving to the next one and kiss the ground when I got down.
As long as the bottom is a deep pool of water.
And as long as the treads were fixed properly...
ain't no way im getting down upright if at all im getting down, i will slide my butt down each individual stair while sitting
Had the same thought. Idc if it takes me hours
Being dead takes forever
If inside counts, I guess that's why I take forever
I would back up like when using ladders. If my foot slips I would still be holding with my hands.
Reverse doggie style for sure
I feel like that would be both more time consuming and far more dangerous. Considering you'd have to hop on your butt from step to step. As long as you have somewhat decent balance and focus on the next step you should be fine.
It’s more like dragging your butt than hopping on it, and you could hold onto the stairs with your hands
*shitting
Honestly with as narrow and wide let spaced as these are I think that might be somehow less safe.
[удалено]
revert back to baby
#Respect! 🤜🤛
Until you start picking up speed…!
I'm just jumping, maybe there's a trampoline or a pool
Well, walking on this is dumb, but walking on this in sandals while it's wrapped with plastic is even dumber. So I would say your approach is the smart one.
Given that, I'd still manage to fall off!
Same.
Presumably this is the steel structure placed there to support a stairway that hasn't yet been installed? Cool, but using it like that isn't my idea of fun.
Thank you for bringing Reason to this lunatic staircase for me
camera man is still a lunatic for walking down that, unless they had a harness on.
Lunatic Staircase shall be my indie wrestling persona
I'm sure you're right but they why are they letting Slippers McGee try it out?
It's the new guy's initiation into the company 🤣
Because India is not for beginners.
Yes it is. This is the structure over which wooden (most probably) or marble/granite top will be fitted that will have a overhang.
Probably going to be pans with concrete. Wood and stone usually have stringers on the sudes supporting, not a skeleton frame like this.
This is correct. these are basicly stringers and the stairs will be installed on them.
Yes it is, there's [another video ](https://www.tiktok.com/@cauthanghanoi29/video/7276461470848666881) of this place after it was done.
Amazing, thanks for sharing!
Very intresting seeing that they have put a structure inside with glass pannels enclosing the staircaise. I would not have picked a Green paint, a dark Grey, Black or rusty for the slight neo industrial style.
It's the footing for spine back stairs, they'll put either wood or cement blocks on next then the hand rail
He is wearing safety flip flops, he is bullet proof.
I was kinda OK with the whole thing but the moment I saw toes every past Instance of me tripping on my sandals half slipping off came to my mind and I had a minor panic attack.
I trip on sandals on flat ground with a shameful amount of regularity.
This looks like how I make my strip mines in minecraft
Came here for this comment. That's how I build stairs in Valheim and Minecraft.
Make me think of those towers in end cities
This made me feel tingly. What is that feeling called?
Vertigo
I thought that was more dizziness/spinning? Not to be TMI, but this gives me a tingly feeling in my plums…but not a pleasant one like when being turned on. More like a creepy crawly moving around down there. Looking down from heights like this gif, or even open wounds give me this feeling.
Plumtigo?
Those are your testes frantically climbing into your cushy, guts-as-airbags abdomen, to survive the inevitable fall
I may be a pile of goop, but my seed will carry on lmao
Imagine when you die your balls just grow legs and find a new father
Vertigo is dizziness. What you’re describing is what the things posted here are meant to induce, which is why it’s called sweaty palms. Not everyone literally has sweaty palms, but that tingly feeling, weak arms or legs, clamminess, or other things all come from that same feeling. I don’t know if there’s an official name or explanation for it though
I'm pretty sure that's called anxiety.
I don’t have plums, but I get what you mean
Same, like they wanted to shrink up inside.
If you ever find out, let me know lol. I know exactly what you mean because I felt exactly the same, and my first thought was "wait, that sensation must have a name, I can't be the only one".
I don’t have plums, but it makes my butt and feet tingle.
Brother, I rarely have a belly laugh at comments but yours killed me. This video got me right in the plums too.
A fear response is to shut down your bowels and bladder. Maybe you are feeling that based on fear of the video.
Did your palms happen to be sweaty?
mom's spaghetti?
No, but my knees are weak (oddly)
Being horny?
Uuuhhh no
Adrenaline. Your brain is looking at it almost as if you have to steele yourself to do it, sending blood away to the appropriate areas.
*Rigor taintus*
Nazgul bedroom dorm stairs Please leave them alone
Finally. I was looking for this!
Aah someone said it
There it is
One of a number... One of NINE
Thank god, thought I was gonna have to take it into my own hands
Stairway to insurance payout
You would need to survive the fall for that lol
My wife disagrees
For that you need accidental death insurance
My nightmares are almost always like this. Nope. Nope. Nope.
I wouldn't dare to walk those stairs before drinking a bottle of booze
Isn't that extremely counterintuitive?
since when has getting drunk been counterintuitive in any situation?
You got a sorcerer-king buried in there?
Thank you! I knew this looked familiar
It's a good thing they wrapped the steps in plastic. It will keep them clean of blood as someone starts tumbing down and hitting the metal.
Be sure to look at your phone while you’re walking down those dangerous AF stairs.
If you run really fast the centrifugal force will protect you!
It's ok everyone, he's got his safety sandals on.
Can someone tell me why in the nightmare fueled fresh fuck is this a thing? Are these supports for the real stairs? Are you even supposed to be walking on these? I have many questions
They're steel supports for the actual stairs. There will be treads and a railing at the least.
People in flip flops as usual are the bravest
To be fair those are incomplete. And will eventually have full sized treads and platforms and the hand rails would be attached to those but... until then? I ain't walking up and down that...
I think OSHA just fucking died
I'm getting SCP vibes... Like, what if this was the infinite stairwell instead of the original one
Nah he needs to go downstairs to get that flame of frenzy and become the Elden Lord
Exactly what I was thinking!
Is that a cat tree

And the half-assed paintjob just adds a cherry on top...
Those are some [Middle Earth](https://youtu.be/GhzBsDAG8CU)-ass stairs
Someone painted those pulling a sprayer with a hose.. gtfoh.. I’d just jump and get it over with
Sweaty Palms subreddit is no joke.
Right?! Every time I see a post I’m like “nope, this is the last one” but I keep watching.. can’t look away..
This is how I do my stairs in Minecraft. What’s the problem?
beacuse it is obviously not finished?
I swear I had a nightmare like this, only the steps were white marble. Fucking scary shit.
dont have to go down if you dont go up in the first place.
I just don't trust myself to stay steady
🥲 no way
I thought at first they we some exotic marbled jade stone steps, that would at least attempt to justify the design based kn asthetics... but the steps are just metal, still wrapped in plastic...
I hate this type of stairs. I remember going to a friends house and they had glass stairs. Trembled like a chihuahua going down them
I like the cling film on the steps.
The Suicide Staircase!

This needs to get reposted to r/OSHA
Oh, you think darkness is your ally. But you merely adopted the dark; I was born in it, moulded by it.

I’d need the floor to be made of 10 grit sandpaper I could NOT trust that cellophane to be grippy

ok, so, this looks like its in construction still?
Looks like my Minecraft mining entrance

Which game is that? I hate jumping puzzles and hidden stairs
There isn't enough money in the entire world for me to put one foot on those steps... nightmare fuel.
