The hypnopaedia statement in the video, “Suicide is Sleep,” reflects the life of people in society today. People are in a constant state of motion, and it is believed that resting for even a little while will leave you behind in this fast-paced world. With a coffee bar at every corner, and the pressure of working 24/7, it is no wonder stress is such a terrible factor. The video at the beginning features two peacefully resting people, stress-free and innocent, against the calming backdrop of “Moonlight Sonata.” As “Suicide” appears on the screen, the music jumps to the hectic, hypnotizing sounds of The Beatles’ “Revolution 9,” along with images of the stressed and laboring, convincing the young to work or nothing will ever be done.
