With Halloween on the horizon, an eerie TikTok challenge has been trending to spice up the spooky October season. The viral F74 TikTok can allegedly send you to a parallel dimension with no possible return if things go sideways. While the app is a source of many useful trends such as 'cash stuffing' to control your spending, it also brings up bizarre made-up theories. 

The TikTok challenge called F74 or Floor 74 has been keeping netizens busy with its claims of transporting people to other dimensions in their sleep. Now, in order to go through this experience, there are certain steps that the person needs to follow. Even the origin of this challenge sounds like a rip-off of a slasher film. The trend allegedly originated in Japan from an unknown creator. The aim of the challenge is for you to survive the trip into the so-called alternate dimension and return to the real world. Fail, and you spend the rest of your life in this weird dimension.

How to do the F74 challenge?

In order to participate in the TikTok challenge, the person is required to write F74 on their wrists with a red marker before going to sleep. As the challenge suggests, the person will "wake up" in a dark long hallway with several doors. The participant will also hear eerie noises throughout their trip. However, they are advised to not look back and walk forward until they find a door on their right marked F74.

The person needs to go through that door to escape the dark dimension and return to their initial state. The challenge goes on till 10 hours on the clock and if the participant fails to escape, they will be caught by a "demon creature" and taken to a white room from which they cannot break free. Eerie right? Sounds like the plot of, wait, so many shows and movies out there.

Is the F74 challenge real?

Soon as it began trending, the F74 challenge was called bogus by many content creators on the app. People who tried the TikTok trend shared their experiences of feeling completely normal after the dream ended while some even claimed that there was no dream at all. The roots of the F74 challenge could be connected to the concept of lucid dreaming where the dreamer is aware that they are dreaming while dreaming. Even though the TikTok trend is absolute tripe, horror addicts cannpt help hyping it even further.
