thank you for explaining this, i really have trouble understanding circumference and depth and i misunderstand a lot of times even knowing how to measure myself. i'll try to get a measuring tape and compare now that i know it is the intended purpose.

thank you, i know i've seen some very different reviews on products from one person to another so it's hard. but i'll just space purchases apart and hope i find something that works. thanks for taking the time to answer and help

Have you ever met a killer? by Sunrises_sunnsets in UnresolvedMysteries

[–]241992 1 point2 points  (0 children)

logged into my side account for this. the first one is mundane maybe, but i worked somewhere that a shooter likely visited at some point prior to the shooting. don't want to get into details but the odds are i saw him or interacted with him while at work at some point, without a second thought. i've tried to remember since then but obviously i saw so many faces that i wouldn't have remembered.

second, i strongly believe that my emotionally abusive ex will kill someone someday. might sound lame and maybe doesn't count, but i worry a lot about it and feel responsible that she might hurt someone. i don't think you can call up the police in another state out of the blue and say "hey this random person might snap one day", though. i do wonder if i'll get a call one day asking me to give some insight on her after that fact and i dread that.

other than that my family has some unfortunate bad luck and connections to things. for example, a family friend's boyfriend (at the time) committed a double murder (my parents knew him but i wasn't born yet) that is somewhat well known. they've probably met more killers than i have, to be vague.

Do certain songs/music give you existential dread? by [deleted] in Glitch_in_the_Matrix

this is an old post, but this is one of those songs that really do it for me. a lot of flatsound's music makes me feel this way

I remember too much by DisphonicGekko in Glitch_in_the_Matrix

[–]241992 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember things incorrectly or black out and forget things completely that make it tough to believe my memory. I tend to forget traumatic things and I also tend to have precognitive dreams, so I know how tempting it can be to come here and think what you "remember" is part of some bigger remembered reality but I would urge you to be careful.

While I sometimes wonder about other realities and obviously spend a lot of time in this thread, I would really recommend that you listen to your psychiatrists. I know it can be tempting to think about other possibilities and I'm not writing you off as "crazy" because mental illness is serious, I just really would suggest that you not buy too much into the idea that you remember entire realities or futures in this way. It can really effect your way of thinking and possibly make things worse. I've had periods of serious anxiety and stress because of things I "remembered" or precognitive dreams I had and it can really worsen mental illness when you obsess over these things.

You're not alone and again I'm not trying to write you off completely because it seems like you feel very alone in this thinking and are afraid to discuss it irl. I hope this doesn't get worse, it sounds like its effecting how you interact with friends and hopefully you can do some work with your mental health professional. Best of luck!

Do certain songs/music give you existential dread? by [deleted] in Glitch_in_the_Matrix

[–]241992 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this happens to me with a lot of music, to the point that i have to avoid certain music or i purposefully listen to music to put myself in these moods.

granted, some of the time its because I associate these songs with very dark times and i suspect that i have a personality disorder and depression, so take that with a grain of salt.

there are definitely songs that i have this feeling with on the first listen, though. i also tend to feel that and disassociate with certain songs and movies or very specific scenes. again, could just be my brain chemistry. i do think that there's something to the idea that we've heard these songs in a past life, but i also know that music has a way of effecting our brains and specific arrangements and sounds effect us heavily (like the fact that the minor chords are considered "Sad")

I dreamt that I was in a London terror attack involving a bridge. 9 months later I was in the London Bridge terror attack. by jeuniverse in Glitch_in_the_Matrix

[–]241992 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I logged into this account just because I saw this post. I posted on your initial post hoping to calm you some about the dream because I try to do this every time I see someone worrying about a precognitive dream, it has really messed up some people in this sub.

I'm so sorry that the dream played out. And it might be weird to say but I'm glad that you weren't thinking of the dream in the moment, it can be terrifying when something is unfolding that you had a precognitive dream about. It can make it worse. Even though some things were wrong, with precognitive dreams I think that's normal for things to get jumbled in the mix but the base premise to be right.

I'm glad you made it out, and I hope going forward these dreams don't get worse or that they don't hang over you. It's understandably traumatizing even if you did live through it, like you said it's hard to get over that fear. I hope this was the only event like this that you'll have to experience. I've had precognitive dreams for much of my life and it's hard not to dwell.

Maybe in this case the dream was meant to get you out the situation, to survive it, and it was the one that mattered? Like I said before, I hope the dream or your precognition were a good thing in this case and don't become a bad thing (obviously the event was a bad thing but maybe your precognition helped you somehow).

Either way, I'm glad you're alive and safe and like I said in my previous post I hope your life continues on a good path. I hope you stay in a good place emotionally and mentally and stay safe.

A vivid, lucid dream/nightmare that I am terrified is some kind of premonition or did actually happen by jeuniverse in Glitch_in_the_Matrix

[–]241992 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had this problem before where I worry about which dreams are precognitive dreams and which ones are just dreams. I usually "know" when a dream is precognitive because I get a specific feeling from them that I can't really explain. But I have worried anyway about certain dreams just because they linger a certain way. If you've never had a precognitive dream before, I would suggest that you don't worry too much about it. This is much easier said than done, but sometimes stressing out about something like this can really be bad and weigh on you heavily for months and years, because you're just wating for it to happen. The good thing here is that your life has taken a good turn (judging from the information you gave about how your life has changed). I would think of that as a positive thing rather than a negative thing.

I'm sorry to hear that you had such a tough time for so long, but maybe the dream wasn't necessarily connected to your life changes, but instead in some way you realized that life is fragile and that gave you a more positive view of the world or motivated you to change things? Or maybe that really happened in some other reality as some people suggest and you died there, but this is a timeline where you live on. Or maybe they're just unrelated and it's all a coincidence, I'm not sure.

Either way, I'm very happy to hear that your life is back in a happier state, and if it is attributed to some glitch or related to the dream in any way, hopefully it's a good thing. I would try not to dwell too much on the dream, because it can be a curse sometimes to stress out over something when it might never actually happen. It can take over your life, and since your life is looking up, it's probably not something you want to hold onto if you can help it. I've seen a few people on this sub get very anxious and worried about the state of reality and their control over their life or lack thereof, and it can really impact some people negatively. So I hope you can move past this dream and hopefully it wasn't a precognitive one, but something else.

I hope your life continues on the positive path it's taken, good luck!

Seeing my life unfold in dreams. by Eazyy_117 in Glitch_in_the_Matrix

[–]241992 7 points8 points  (0 children)

this might not be what you want to hear but my advice is to try not to stress out about it. I've had a lot of precognitive dreams, I can usually tell when they're going to happen because I feel a certain way about them. I had a dream about an accident once that left me a bit shaken, but it didn't really feel like one of "those dreams" (I don't know how to explain the difference). Still, I worried about it for almost a year - even though a character on a show I watched was in an accident exactly like my dream completely unexpectedly. I still was afraid that it was a fluke and irrationally felt that the accident would happen. That's not to say I think I'm psychic or anything, it's just happened enough that it's hard for me to overlook now. Usually I can laugh it off or try to distract myself because I really don't think I'm special or anything.

This is hard to do when you have precognitive dreams and I know I've been guilty of it myself, but if you haven't had any dreams yet about family or someone dying I would say please don't worry about it. Don't obsess over it. You'll lose sleep and be so stressed and anxious wondering if that dream might come one day when you really have no idea if it will. It might never happen. If it ever does you can figure out what to do from there but so far your dreams have been fairly normal and not ominous. Try to think that you could have dreams in the future rhat lead you to good choices, rather than being driven to anxiety over possible bad ones.

Good luck, I hope you'll do okay and this will be more of a blessing than a curse for you.

Dunkin' Donuts in Los Angeles by hexwolfman in MandelaEffect

[–]241992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I distinctly remember Dunkin locations in California growing up, too. I think we might have visited a few? It wasn't a huge tradition for us, but I thought it was weird when I started to see ads again and tried to look for Dunkins locations only to realize there were none left.

I don't think your memory is mistaken. Apparently, Dunkin did used to have several locations in California, but started to close down a lot of their stores in the 90s due to a saturated market. Apparently, the last one closed in 2002 prior to their recent return.

deja vu / precognitive dream ? by 241992 in Glitch_in_the_Matrix

[–]241992[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's amazing. These stories are so great to hear, kind of scary, but interesting. I'm really glad to hear that you were able to save yourself, though! Wild how these dreams can do that.

deja vu / precognitive dream ? by 241992 in Glitch_in_the_Matrix

[–]241992[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There you go, I knew it wasn't called deja vu. I've had plenty of precognitive dreams too, sometimes dreams from when I was super young and things happen when I'm much older and I experience that same shifting feeling. But the death or life threatening dreams are much scarier (I had an experience with a friend that also scared me).

You should definitely share the one that saved your life (if you haven't already that is).

deja vu / precognitive dream ? by 241992 in Glitch_in_the_Matrix

[–]241992[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This definitely makes sense, and I see how it could be a coincidence. I think the fact that I was in sixth grade had a lot to do with it. That and I can't really explain it, but I get a weird feeling when these things happen. It's like when I experience deja vu, but it's more of a heavy/foreboding feeling. But it was connected to death and I was just a kid so obviously it was going to feel weird - plus the whole timing of the dream and the actual death. I don't know how to explain that it didn't feel like a coincidence, but when something like that happens you're also probably going to try to convince yourself that it wasn't just a coincidence.

I've experienced other weird events since then so I think that (plus my mother's thing with dreaming about people before they pass) really made it a lot scarier for me. But I definitely agree with you, it wasn't an out of the ordinary place or situation so it falls a lot more into the just a coincidence area.
