Joe Rogan opened up on his podcast about having a 'realistic' dream in which he encountered alien-like beings, days after Tucker Carlson described being attacked by a 'demon' in his sleep.

Rogan told former biology professor Bret Weinstein on his podcast released Saturday that he 'had the most bizarre dream I've ever had in my life last night.' 

'It's so hard to try to explain how strange this was, but I was in some weird corridor that looked like a building but was odd. Very strange,' Rogan recounted.

'And I was encountering these beings that looked like people but very different. They were very thin and they were slightly on the tall side. Um, and they had big heads - like, larger than normal, with larger-than-normal eyes.'

Rogan added that despite the entities' unusual appearance, 'they looked like people and they were playful.'

'Like, they scared me, and then they joked around like, "We're just joking around."

'It was the most realistic dream I've ever had in my life. And I woke up and I could not go back to - I had to stay up,' he continued. 

Rogan added that the dream jolted him awake at 3:30am, leading him to head to the gym for a workout because he couldn't get back to sleep.

Weinstein responded that Rogan's 'subconscious is trying to tell you about something.' 

Rogan elaborated that the figure he saw were 'like a person - but not a person.' 

'Like they all had Michael Jackson bodies, you know what I mean? Like, they were devoid of testosterone,' he explained.  

'And the heads were larger but not crazy. Not like a gray alien. It was like slightly larger than ours, but smaller chins and larger eyes.  It was weird. It was weird because it was not crazy. It wasn’t completely alien. It was way closer to us.'   

Rogan's encounter came days after a similar experience was described on-stage by former Fox News star Carlson.

Carlson told Megyn Kelly last week about a dream in which he was 'clawed and bloodied' by a 'demon' in 2023, a story that has earned him widespread mockery since he first revealed it last year.

'I couldn't breathe at all. My throat was closed.' Carlson recalled. 'I stand in the doorway of our bedroom and I'm like, "Wow, I'm dying."

'I walked back in and my wife wakes up. She goes, "What is going on?"' he added.

'I said, "I don't know. I I can't breathe. I feel better now." And all of a sudden, I had this horrible pain underneath my arms, uh, like on the side of my chest, like bad. 

'I thought I'd been like ripped with a knife or something. It just was very intense. 

'So I go into the bathroom, I flip on the light and I have claw marks on both sides, on the right and left side on my ribs. And they're bleeding. And there are literally claw marks, you know, four on either side. 

'I put my fingers in them, [they] don't fit my fingers. And I sleep on my side. 

He added: 'And by the way, no one woke up. So, I show my wife and she's like. "Oh my gosh." 

'And then I have this like crazy intense desire to read the Bible.'

'I'm not embarrassed at all, and I don't care if I'm mocked,' Carlson continued. 'I don't get anything out of making this up, and I'm not making it up.'

After first speaking about the experience in 2024, Carlson's critics wasted no time in seizing on his statements.

'He seems to have a case of mild schizophrenia,' one said.
