Ever Dream This Man?

Well now I will. Yikes.

EYEBROWS!

Can't say I've ever seen him, but it looks like a pretty generic face; it could pretty much be ever-so-slightly morphed to match lots of faces/expressions.

I bet it's that slight smile and the deep eyes. Probably people dream of someone with those attributes and then say it's this same guy. I can't say I've ever seen him in my dreams though. I usually dream about people I have already known or seen.

Looks like my fourth grade math teacher. AHH!

he looks like Naboo from the Mighty Boosh

I'm with Howard on this one... :/

Blam! I found him. It's Paul Scheer. He is the dream catcher, the creator, the jungian archetype.

No. Never.

Wow, that's just creepy. Won't surprise me if he shows up in my nightmares now.

Must be viral for something...

bwuuuuuuuuuuh creepy

"What me worry?"

He's The Watcher- The Man From Another Timedimension.
He's the one that in some future has found a way to check the dreams of a past.

Nothing special about that.

I thought I was the only person to confront Vizzini while dreaming.
That Sicilian gets around!

Doesn't look familiar.

Wow drstrange! That's uncanny!

Looks like a character from a David Lynch film.

It's the Sandman.

Looks like an age-progression of Sylar from Heroes.

This has already been exposed as part of a viral marketing project.

Spagett!

If it is not a hoax, maybe the brain tries to construct a face from a smiley symbol?
I once read that with babies the opposite happens: they see a face, even the mother, as a circle with eyes and a mouth, not unlike a smiley.

one of our IT smartypants had to spoil the fun:

I don't know what this is selling (twin peaks?) but it's guerrilla marketing
for something.

I say this because a whois shows that the domain is owned by an Andrea

Um... NOW I will. Thanks, Neatorama. Creepy much? :(

I'll have to agree with #25. I did that whois look up too with the same results. I was almost had!

I remember reading something on listverse.com about how there are actually no unknown faces in your dreams; they are actually culled from your reality. Maybe you just haven't realized that the mysterious lover in your dreams shares a striking resemblance to your pharmacist.

Sling Blade?

Nope, can't say I've ever had someone in a dream that looks like him. At least none of the dreams that I can remember.

Let me guess these people who dreamed about this guy are all from the USA? It's a "normalized" version of Alfred E Neuman. Its a trick our brain plays on us.

actually they are from all over the world.

anyway I think its the dancing dwarf from Twin Peaks.

btw
#25 was me posting under an alias.

well, hoax/marketing/whatever or not- ditto what the others said about Now I will... that is a creepy looking face...

He looks like a young Geroge Harrisson, only bald and old! Wow. I guess I'll have nightmares now.

Nope. Sounds like a story concocted for Halloween. (Move over, Freddie.)

He looks like Carl Sagan to me.

it's andrew lloyd webber

I highly recommend not visiting this site. After visiting it my computer has crashed three times and has never done it before. Yes, it's a hoax. Only people w/ higher degrees of artistic ability and experience would draw the way those pictures are drawn. Also, there is never a mention of any doctor's or sources. While the quotes are somewhat believable--unto the intercourse one at least, haha--the flyers are a dead give away. The picture close to Che's portrait in Havana is a dead give away to what's going on: mass imaging into the subconscious on the masses through repetition of images.

LOL hee has Michael Jackson's mouth.

LET'S ROCK!

that gum you like will come back in style.

this is the third twin peaks thing i've seen today. weird.

Obviously for the upcoming Nightmare On Elm Street.

I do think, I dreamed of this man. It was a peaceful and pleasant dream.
On the other hand, the face looks like some average of several faces, so that it could be that the man in my dream just resembled this one in one or another aspect. Hard to say. I also noticed, that normally the people in my dreams don't really have faces but kind of facial blurs, so it would be easy to imagine or rather project this face into the one I dreamed of.
And I am wondering all the time how I can actually remember a face that I dreamed about ten to fifteen years back.
Must be a mistake by my mind...

Viral marketing, yes. But it's fairly well done (except for the failure to register the domain under the name "Dr Alphonsus Headshrink, Psychiatrist") and it's creepily enjoyable to suspend disbelief for a minute or two. Like a zombie movie. I know those are fake too.

He looks like a cross between Syler (a 'bad guy' from the TV show Heroes) and Alfred E. Newman (from MAD magazine).

I think the power of suggestion is strong with this story. I wonder how the so-called 'investigation' took place. I picture it going something like this:

"Have you seen this face before?"
"Ummm... I'm not sure... maybe?"
"What about in your dreams?"
"Yeah, that could be it, maybe that's why I only vaguely remember it."
Wham, the person suddenly believes.

Or, worse:

"This face is seen in dreams by thousands of people around the world!"
"Hey, he DOES kinda look familiar, I think I've seen him in my dreams too!"
Theory confirmed! Except that it's bullshit.

On the other hand, if 2000 people have all independently drawn the same mysterious face from their dreams, then maybe they've got something here. But they don't say that this is the case, so I highly doubt it.

Never seen him before or maybe I don't remember him. Now, I will? :P

@Kev ... THEY make you think zombie movies are fake. But what if they aren't?

this must be viral marketing for the upcoming christopher nolan movie "inception".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inception_(film)

INCONCEIVABLE!

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Neil Diamond?

Regardless of wether it is viral marketing or not, the face has a certain resonance to it that creates a strange feeling. Perhaps we should all take into account the ability of corporations, media, and forced environments like supermarkets to apply their wants onto our collective psyche. It is frightening as a marketing tool, just as much as it is unabashadly scary to think someone could slip into your dreams.(dream surfer theory) I will not sleep well no matter where this creepy face was concieved!

It looks quite a bit like my dad, so I guess I'd have to say yes, I've dreamed of him. I'll have to have a chat with him about personal space and staying out of other people's dreams.

How can we get into peoples heads. Dreams are good, let's enter the collective subconscious. Let's make something people remember, something disturbing. Let's take the big, round face of a child, with big eyes and a small nose, and give it sideburns, 'criminal' eyebrows, hair and ears of an adult. Let's creep out those gullible people out there.

Offcourse it could also be part of a promotional campaign for 'Don't Look Now 2' or 'Sandman, the Movie' and the actor just looks funny...

this is the creator ..., hes in the future u can resemble him to andrew lloyd webber and others but thats not it its someone most people know but havent met him yet i to have seen someone close in my dream but i dont know the name

Someone's already said it, it's a fake viral marketing ploy for something. The domain in registered to an Italian guerrilla marketing company.

A simple whois on the domain reveals everything, very noob mistake and someone should be fired for not making the whois hidden.

Nice try though ;)

TOTALLY NEIL DIAMOND-

Nobody ever seems to see who I see? It's Andrew Lloyd Webber.

NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET REMAKE COMING OUT NEXT YEAR. PIC LOOKS LIKE JACKIE EARLE HALEY.

DONE.

My friend has, she even drew his face afterwards and she had never heard/seen this before.

I know this is weird, but I’ve been trying to find who he is for sometime. I forget what blog I was on, someone sent me a face book link to some guys page claiming this was him... I did not think much of it at first. i went to his page, I’ve been thinking of it ever since. So I tried to contact him, not knowing what to say, so I just thought I would ask if I know you? His response was chilling! He said," dreams are our innermost feelings unable to be expressed in the present." I know its BS but here goes koreadave42@yahoo.com "happy this guy hunting!"

Ya Iv dreamed of him about20 times and ill probally dream more of him it kindakreeps me out cuz i had a dream bout him then the next day i heard about how hes in otrher peoples dreams that was juyst plan kreepy cuz my dream waz about some asking me if iv dreamt about him and how he waz in other peoples dreams and that just kreeped me out when i woke up and heard about it that always happens to me i dream something and it happens but i do think hes in peoples dreams i dont know how he dose it but its kreepy *8)*XD*8)*XD*

well the comments are certainly very entertaining!

Sorry, I’m not buying it. Anytime someone from the science or medical field makes a new discovery, they are going to want their named attached to it and get the credit. The fact that no doctors are named, despite the fact that several were involved, seems more than a little suspicious to me. My guess is it’s a viral marketing campaign, for a movie or tv show, staring, from the looks of it, Gavin McLeod.

Yeah I just saw this and Googled to see what else people had to say. It didn't even occur to me to WHOIS the domain. It's a shame that it's just some viral marketing and all the other people commenting on this blog probably work for the company :\

Ohwellz.

I think they are aiming to make you dream of him. The site says 'OMG people everywhere dream of him and no one knows why' and they are seeing if that will somehow convince the readers subconcious TO dream of him.

And I have noticed a lot of people saying "Well, now I will!" hmm...

Also, he looking nothing like Sylar. Some other suggestings make sense, but sylar? i dont see it at all.

Yep, guerrilla marketing hoax. This is what we were able to find out at Jawbone.tv:

http://www.jawbone.tv/featured/2-featured/260-ever-dream-this-man-urban-myth-viral-hoax-or-terrifying-boogeyman.html

That looks like a sketch of my cousin wayne, except for the ears and the hairstyle, lol.

And I am after those that hate Christ and love the devil and all his many lies
I am one of the witness spoken of long ago by the profit Danial and spoken of In revelations of witch in those chapters are many lies.

@Richard Sievert

Dude... Seriously. WTF?

I went through all information. After that I started to think and remember about my dreams. But I couldn't rememer any other face except closest relatives and friends of mine. After I collect the memory that only I use to see carractors, both good, ugly, dirty etc., but not specific faces except closest relatives and friends. So I think it is all humbug.

Iam not be sure but i must want to say one think i saw like this man in laxmi ngr, delhi. i Saw lots of time.

freddie krueger,remember?

Micheal Jackson that who it is, coming back to watch over us.

yeah, as with floyd up there... this is by an italian guerilla marketing firm.

a few more thoughts posted on it here: http://lazysupper.com/?p=760

somewhere else, said they think it's a campaign for a nightmare on elm street reboot. i doubt it, mainly as the site has google ads.

i know him

It's Stephen Colbert without glasses, before he trims his brows.

i had a dream of this man before right after i looked at the pic i killed him though in my dreams he had killed family members and friends and i had dream't about him 3 or 4 times and in one of my dreams he was trying to kill me so i shot him about 7 or 8 times and the finished him off by shooting him in the head and when i woke up i had this feeling of peacfullness and calmness

SCARY PIC - YEAH i NEVER SEEN THAT FACE BEFORE AN PROBABLY NEVER WILL.

It's me. I'm the guy.

actually yess i have seen him in my dreams. he is always trying to capture me

I am this man.... DUN DUN DUUUUNN!!!

hey,I know him!he works in my school :D

Creepy lookin' guy, but I don't think I've seen him. He has a striking resemblance to Jeff Bezos, though.

I think it's G-Man

Its not true,I think its rumour.

yes i have seen this man. i swear.

I'm quite happy to find some information about this elsewhere on the web, and thanks for linking me to that page, it's been most encouraging. I don't think it's actually a marketing site - for a start, what is it selling? - maybe the creators just took whatever hosting space they could get.

I found documents referencing something similar to this, seemingly abandoned - or dropped for someone else to find? - in one of the dustier shelves of my city's central library, when looking for a service manual for an old motorbike. The contents are at best interesting, at worst quite chilling depending how much you read into it. It's heavily censored, so it's appearance there is quite shady. Obviously, I'm posting this transcript under an assumed ID and hope that this site doesn't log IPs for very long.

Worse, since looking at that site, I think I recognise that guy. Somewhat concerned what he may say if I see him again.

I'm going to type out the contents of that page below. It was in plain courier font and had been copied a few times, so the information may be a bit out of date, plus the amount of missing material leaves it open to interpretation. Sections with black outs (???????, thank you charmap.exe) have been struck out with a marker pen sometime further back in the photocopy chain. In case there's some kind of link or pattern I've reproduced them at the approx same length as in the text (made simpler by the fixed width font!). Parts that say REDACTED were written as that seemingly originally, or have what look like manually cut-and-pasted white blocks (again further back in the photocopy chain) with that word written on covering large sections, two or three lines in some cases, so I've removed the associated whitespace for brevity.

Text follows. Deep breath.

Item #: ???-990

Object Class: K????

??????? ?????????? Procedures: Currently no containment for ???-990 has been devised. Any personnel with suggestions for the containment of ???-990 should report to Dr. ??????????. Any and all ideas are welcomed, regardless of who may suggest them.

Description: ???-990 is generally a human male dressed in a ???? ??? ??? business suit, who appears to ??????????? personnel through dreams. Thus far no ??????????? personnel have encountered ???-990 in the real world; if he corresponds to an actual human being, we have yet to find him. Presently there have been ?? reports of ???-990 appearing to non-??????????? personnel.

???-990 has been appearing to ??????????? personnel since (REDACTED). ???-990's existence came to light when several Agents discussed having dreams involving a similar individual. Numerous other Agents reported dream-sightings of an individual matching the description of ???-990. The phenomenon did not officially receive ??? classification until the aftermath of ?????-990-??.

Event log 990-??:

Agent ?????? failed to report for duty at his assigned time. He was instead found in his quarters, asleep. Subject had been asleep for roughly eighteen (18) hours and all subsequent attempts to wake him were unsuccessful. Subject was transported to sickbay.

After over 40 hours of sleep, Subject awakened in a highly agitated state. Subject reportedly ran through the facility yelling loudly about "??? ??? ?? ??? ?????." Even after being heavily sedated, all of his bodily functions remained in a dangerously accelerated state: increased heart rate, high blood pressure, etc.

Subject described a man matching the regular appearance of ???-990. According to Dr. ??????????'s report, Agent described with great detail a series of events that would lead to (REDACTED). Agent claimed that the information had been outlined to him by ???-990 while he was trapped within his dream.

Mobile ???? ???? ???? was dispatched to ????????? the initial ?????? that would begin the chain of events. M?? ???? was successful and (REDACTED).

Since ?????-990-??, ???-990 has appeared to many Foundation personnel and made similar ???????. As of yet no situation on the scale of ?????-990-??'s has occurred; however, ???-990 has successfully predicted ??? ?????? of Doctors ????, ??????, and ????, as well as (REDACTED). Any ?????? made by ???-990 should be reported to ??????????? authorities, regardless of (REDACTED).

??????????? personnel are considered free to converse with ???-990 if he should appear to them, and are encouraged to try to obtain information from the subject regarding himself. Additionally, Dr. ?????????? has stated that anyone who can determine whether or not ???-990 has a corresponding body somewhere in the world will be well rewarded.

Document 990-??:
The following is an interview conducted between Dr. ?????????? and ???-990. Although the interview was not recorded until Dr. ?????????? awoke, his memory has historically been highly accurate and reliable.

Dr. ??????????: State your name.
???-990: Are you trying to conduct an interview?
Dr. ??????????: Yes. Is that all right?
???-990: Sure, I'm game.
Dr. ??????????: Please state your name.
???-990: How about Tony?
Dr. ??????????: Tony? Your name is Tony?
???-990: I believe a person has the right to be called whatever they want to be called.
Dr. ??????????: Very well then, Tony it is.
???-990: Actually, I changed my mind. How about Richard?
Dr. ??????????: That's fine with me.
???-990: Richard it is. What's the next question?
Dr. ??????????: Why do you ???????? ??????????? personnel?
???-990: ????????? Who's ?????? ?????????
Dr. ??????????: You've predicted a number of ??????????? events involving ??? ???????????, including (REDACTED).
???-990: And has ??? ???? actually come of it?
Dr. ??????????: You ???????? Agent ??????.
???-990: [after a long pause] Doctor, I believe you have the wrong impression about me.
Dr. ??????????: How so?
???-990: I'm not ??? ??? ??? here.
Dr. ??????????: I wasn't aware that there was a "??? ???" involved.
???-990: Oh, there is.
Dr. ??????????: Who?
???-990: [another long pause] ??? nine thousand and nine.
Dr. ??????????: There is no ??? with that designation, and there won't be for some time.
???-990: Well of course not. ??? hasn't even been born yet, much less classified by your ???????????.
Dr. ??????????: Is this another prediction?
???-990: This is your wake-up call.

At this point Dr. ?????????? was awakened by his alarm clock and proceeded to transcribe the interview.

Damn. The blackouts all rendered as question marks. And the comment's been triggered for moderation. Bet it won't make it through that, and I await the black helicopters. As there's no cursing in it, there may be an embedded alarm trigger on this article page.

It's him, he got killed and I couldn't save him or any of them. Oh god that face is exactly the same just with color.

iv seen this man loads of times he has a name and told me what he wanted from us all

I think this man could be God, Jesus or Adam.

Alright, look, everybody is saying "viral marketing, blah blkah, spam belh blah bloo, lies blahdy blah"

Don't you think that it's strange how everbdy else is saying that they have seen this man in their dreams?

And no, its obviously not some famous guy. It would be all over TV.

holy crapola this kinda scares me!

it's Edmund Ventura from Vanilla Sky.

I dreamed about this man yesterday. I was sitting in my school's classroom all alone in the dark when suddenly he appeared to me. He said that something big was going to happen to me in 2017, but he never told what.

I am worried. :/

I think this man needs more cowbell.
