ASMR for the Arrakis Fremen | A Dune Role-play


Ephemeral Rift
Published 5 years ago

You and numerous other selected fremen gather in a sietch to participate in a unique experiment that is being broadcast to you from a distant planet by an entity known as Professor Clemmons of Arkham Sanitarium.

In case you are not familiar, this role-play is primarily based on the 1965 novel "Dune" by Frank Herbert (the Professor Clemmons character draws from the works of H. P. Lovecraft). I attempted to read Dune when I was a young teen back in the 80's, but I think it was over my head at the time or I couldn't get into it. At the time of this video (~45 years old), for whatever reason I had a strange desire to read it fully, and I'm glad I did, as I was able to wrap my head around it and enjoy the read. I would advise against watching the 80's movie by David Lynch. Nothing against Lynch as I'm a fan of his works, but the movie does not do the book a lot of justice in many aspects. Here's to hoping that Denis Villeneuve's upcoming films (supposedly a "Star Wars for adults" trilogy) will be a good tribute to the book and its fans.

What is ASMR?

ASMR stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response. It's a non-scientific word that an everyday person came up with to describe the feeling characterized as a pleasurable tingling sensation felt in the head, scalp, back and other regions of the body in response to visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, and/or cognitive stimuli, such as crinkling bags, hand movements, whispering, personal attention or watching someone perform a task. It's like goosebumps but much more pleasant and without the uncomfortable chills.

ASMR videos are meant to intentionally induce this sensation in the viewer, often referred to as "tingles", but the videos also serve to provide a relaxing, calming and soothing experience for the viewer. Many people who do not experience ASMR still enjoy the videos for their calming and sleepy effect.
