Existence is strange. There are so many moments all of us seem to encounter in our lives where things simply just don't add up. It can end up feeling like you're straight up witnessing a glitch in the matrix. Maybe you end up sharing that glitchy moment with another human being, who also can't explain the occurrence. Well, all we can do is shrug it off, and accept the fact that there will always be those strange moments lurking right around the corner that we'll never be able to explain through the lens of a rational mind.

    Font - HadesSmiles•7y I mentioned this in another thread but here it is again. Me and my friend were at a Chinese Restaurant, and we ordered a General Tso chicken Dinner and a shrimp lo mein dish. When we sat down we took out both boxes and set them on the table about two feet apart. My friend opens the first box and we see a shrimp lo mein dish. It has all the things in there...noodles. Shrimp. Fried rice. He closes the box and opens the other box. Inside that box is another shrimp lo mein dish

    Font - ohfail • 7y O 1 Award Not creepy, but so vivid and distinct that I still think about it, years later. I had a (subjectively) long, involved dream where I was a vendor in a fish market. I remember getting up early, dressing, doing a whole morning routine, going to get tea, heading out to the docks, buying fish, loading them in a cart and going to get ice, then haggling for ice, buying some less fresh fish while I was at it, then going to a market to my stall, setting up and selling fish al

    Font - The next morning, I woke up refreshed, ready to go down to the docks to buy fresh catch.... Except I was in my house, next to my wife, truck parked outside and it was Saturday - no work. My wife and I were getting geared up to go skiing in Oregon and the car was already packed. Weird thing was.... In the dream, I was single. And a smoker (I'm not). And the whole long dream had been in fluent Chinese. The effortless kind of fluency that only comes from a lifetime of speaking it. Oh, and I

    Font - TraceBot9000 •7y 1 Award I've experienced deja vu a couple of times when I was younger, and while that is certainly freaky, nothing beats its opposite, jamais vu, which I experienced twice during a period of work related stress a few years ago. On both occasions I was driving in my car, in perfectly familiar surroundings near my home, when suddenly I had no idea where I was or where I was going. It was like being instantly teleported to a foreign country. It only lasted seconds, but very

    Font - [deleted] • 7y I knew my uncle had died. My mom had called me and told me the news. It was very sad. She told me in the middle of work and I told one of my coworkers. He expressed his condolences on my loss. A couple weeks later, my sister mentioned my aunt and uncle doing something. I said "but...he's dead." And my sister said no, he wasn't. I alled my mom. No, he wasn't dead. To this day l'm still not sure how much of it my brain imagined and how much was real. Did I really talk to my c

    Font - pistacchio · 7y 1 Award When I was like 10 or 11 I was going to the beach with my aunt and her friends. There were two cars of us. To get there we had to go through a very large industrial area. We didn't know the direction, so our car was following the other. Suddenly, they did an unexpected turn and so our driver had to take a sharp bend. In that moment we heard a very clear, loud voice inside the car saying laughing "Sharp bend, hm?!". The driver immediately hit the brakes. We looked a

    Font - Elnendil · 7y One night I had a dream about being in a car with my sister at the church we went to. For some reason it started going out of control, so I jumped to the wheel and tried to keep us from dying. Later I told my sister about the dream, and she had the exact same dream, but instead she was the one at the wheel and not me. 1.7k ...

    Font - 1 Award As I type this I am already feeling Deja-vu. I've always wanted to share this part of my life with someone but have never been able to. So... I'll just tell a bunch of people on the internet. One day I was walking to work and all of a sudden had an urge to walk a different path than usual. I work downtown in a big city. It was a strange spur of the moment urge to walk a different way that changed my life forever.

    Font - I turned into an alley I had never seen before. As I remember it, I made it about fifteen feet or so when an actual "glitch" happened. Everything in my mind scrambled. I felt like I didn't have a body anymore, just that I was a semi-conscious entity floating through some weird dimension. All of a sudden in the array of different colors and shapes a vision came to me. It was a bunch of strange looking people that in my mind resembled businessmen in suits. They looked startled and panicked

While under the anesthetics I had what I can only explain as an out of body experince seeing as how my view point was from above my body looking down on the procedure. I watched the whole thing and saw that the doctor knocked my game boy off the tabletop while walking by, batteries ejecting from the fall. One fell in sight and he picked it up but the other was next to the front left wheel under the bed out of his

    Font - JeBalon • 7y About a year ago, my girlfriend and I went to eat dinner at Chipotles. Its in a smallish shopping area with a burger joint and Pei-Wei neighboring the Chipotle...one of those kind of upper-classy type shopping areas. We pulled into the parking lot in front of the establishments at around 5 pm on a Friday evening to find an empty parking lot. There were no tables outside, there were no cars in the parking spots, not a person in sight and even the lights inside the buildings we

    Font - As we pull around the backside of the building, and then finish looping around, we drive past the front facade of the building... Except this time every parking spot is full, tables are outside with patrons at them, food half-eaten. There's people walking around, and the lights inside the buildings are all on. But the firetruck was gone. Mind you, it took less than 30 seconds to make a circle around the building. Easily one of the strangest things I've ever experienced. More Adjustment Bu

    Font - [deleted] • 7y I used to live in North Carolina a few years ago and still regularly go back to visit friends. While I was there, my friends and I (who are now in college or are graduated) ran into somebody who we had known (although I didn't know her very well) back in highschool. A few days later I flew back home to Texas. The next day I went to the grocery store and was walking down the isle when I see a girl that looks EXACTLY the same. I did the biggest double take l've ever done. Bei

    Font - Tog_the_destroyer · 7y I was sitting in my car with just my dad and I distinctly heard my sister (who was at home) say, "are you guys almost home? l'm scared" in a very specific, concerned tone of voice. Two seconds later, my dad's phone rings. Guess who's on the line? My sister. She said, "are you guys almost home? l'm scared" in the same concerned tone of voice. I was pretty freaked out 企3.3k ...

    Font - COREM • 7y 1 Award I have a sleep tracking app on my phone that has a setting for lucid dreaming. It will start saying "You are dreaming" repeatedly in a woman's voice with a bit of an echo. I was at work one day when I started hearing the voice randomly every few minutes or so. li checked my phone and as soon as the screen turned I woke up in my bed as the sun was rising. A bit freaked out I went to take a shower. Then on my way to work I started to hear the voice again through the radio

    Font - Dashynasty • 7y When I was in first grade or so, I had this crazy dream that my best friend was actually there with me having a sleepover. I "woke up", saw him on the air mattress and he sat up and started to float. He goes "look, I think I can fly!!" And I said oh my gosh you can, maybe I can too- and I could! So we flew around my bedroom together, and he pulled a book off my bookshelf using telekinesis, and we read it. That's all I could remember. Next day- I go to school and tell my fr

First dream was me entering the numbers 4906 on a keypad for some reason and the second dream months later was me using a bottle of 409. I only won a couple of hundred bucks but it's better than nothing. I got exact matches both times. 230 ...

    Font - nini15 · 7y In about 2003 or 2004, my mother (who is absolutely not a believer in ghosts or "glitches in matrices" etc and would never exaggerate a story) told me about a dream she had which I have never forgotten. She said she had dreamt about an old family friend who was dying of lung cancer. In her dream she was hanging out the washing on the clothes line in our backyard, when suddenly he walked through the trees and called out to her. She noticed he was wearing a pilot uniform. She wa

It was about 2 weeks before Christmas so I was really sweating it. The very next day I got a check in the mail for $267.63 for overpaid child support throughout the year.

I was taking trips from my car to my room moving boxes in, and Floyd was outside. Each time I went inside and then came back out to my car, there was another orange cat outside sitting directly next to Floyd. This repeated until there were four total cats. All sitting in a row watching me. + 456 ...
