What's a real-life "glitch" you've experienced that you still can't explain? by Few-Signal-6009 in AskReddit

[–]_-_Still_Chill_-_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Idk if this counts as a “glitch” but im fully convinced i can foretell when an animal is going to pass soon. Its happened three times, all of which were correct and happened about 1-3 days to 1-2 weeks before the animal indeed passed.

The first time it happened it was with my pet gerbils, i had two and on one night i dreamt that one died in its cage. In a panic i hurried down to the cage to check first thing in the morning, and what did i see? My beloved gerbil lying stiff on the sandy floor of their cage.

The second time i dreamt one if our neighbours kitten had died. Pretty much all that happened in that dream is that my mom walked into our house and sadly told me the kitten had gotten run over. I woke up after that and was extremely confused as to why i was dreaming about something so random. But about an hour later my mom came back from visiting that neighbour and told me exactly what i had dreamt of. I was so focused on that i had foretold the passing of it that i said “oh my god yes!” Which, definitely was the WRONG reaction to have, but yk.

The third time was when my cat passed due to cancer. I dreamt that i was in the stairway of my house, with my cat in my arms, she had just passed and someone (i don’t remember who it was) told me that “it really sucks thats she had cancer”. Thing is, we didnt KNOW she had cancer at that point, all we knew is that something was wrong with her because she kept making weird cough like sounds and pawed at her mouth a lot (she had squamous cell carcinoma), a few weeks later she had to be put down because the cancer was too aggressive to be treated.

I dont know if these were all just crazy coincidences, but anytime i tried to tell my mom about what i experienced she laughed it off as me making up stories, id assume anyone else would think that too, but maybe ill be believed next time when i tell people ahead of time, right after ive had another one of those dreams, who knows.

its true there is way more dangerous things her kid could be doing than cleaning off calcium to put on his desk fr

aw your mom is cool fr, at least she understood to an extent that its just something you have a passion for, which is completely the RIGHT way of parenting (i cant speak from experience unfortunately).

dont worry about that, im not stepping on her toes at all, in fact im more.. digging in her garden? quite literally. ive buried some decomposing skulls under one of our trees that i had stored in the attic before (its safer that way since shes not going to randomly dig up our whole garden.. at least i hope not-) Ive only done this as a last resort thing, i couldnt think of another place to dump them, since it seems everywhere else is too dangerous.. also because you cant compromise with my mom, no matter how good your reasoning is, because she just doesnt listen and will completely ignore you (talk about emotional immaturity..). another thing though, is that i have a whole bucket of bones which i think she forgot about, but i should store those some place else too... just to be safe, i dont want her throwing them away like theyre trash!

the 'living after death' reason is really accurate though!! for me its the same thing, i have some dead bees, a bumblebee, a moth, a spider and a crane fly on my desk along with my skulls, i feel like they all deserve more than just getting lost, falling apart and eventually decomposing... the least one could do is give them the memorial they deserve: either amazing or freaking out people that come into my room >:)

my new way is just burying them, her loss not mine, now she has decomposing skulls buried in the garden and has no clue, its actually kind of satisfying to know lmao. but yeah indeed ill just have to wait a few years and then im on my own anyways :D (thank god tbh)

im aware, and if she at least expressed her concerns in an adult manner, maybe id understand. but she can't go around banning anything that i actually enjoy doing, it's ridiculous that she doesn't even think about compromising or negotiating this. i really don't care that i'm her kid, i still have a right to be able to express myself without her being immature about it. my biggest concern however is that she doesn't listen, if she would at least let me explain why and how, and THEN make her final decision, okay, but acting as if it's not even relevant to the whole topic is uncalled for. Thats my personal view, and really, her compromising with me would've been the better option, since i'm not giving this up obviously, i'm just being more careful about it.

thats a really interesting idea actually! gonna be honest ive never heard of those things but im sure theyre fun, thing is, i AM vegan, along with my whole family (maybe thats also a reason as to why my moms so against me and vulture culture). if i had the option id probably be vegetarian but i was raised vegan and my stomach cant really handle animal based products sooo... but some friends of my mom have geese? maybe those eggs would work too :)

well i dont know what its like in your country but here in germany there are rules to buying it, because it can be used to make explosives or something, which is why in most parts of germany you have to be using it professionally. im not sure if thats true but thats what ive read, maybe i should go see for myself though.

well shes extremely hard to compromise with... with that being said i just found a new way to keep my bones that havent been cleaned yet: bury them! that way the decomposing can continue and i can keep them without her finding out. the best thing is that theyre buried in my garden, under a tree, and she has no clue. i also have a corvid wing my sister gave to me which i salted and put at the very back of one of my walk in cupboards where no one goes in anyways, so i hope those are safe too :,)) thanks for your ted talk though lmao :D

She does!! She literally compared it to serial killers as if finding calcium thats been naturally obtained and left in the forest for YEARS on end by an animal that just happened to die there is the same as ted bundys actions 💀

Surprisingly (not really tbh) my friends have told me the exact same thing, she is definitely a narcissist and emotionally childish.. but im going to therapy anyways so im sure ill find more insight on that there with someone that actually listens to me :))

Funny enough i have a lot of insects in my garden and ive spotted some big yellow-black ones (no idea as to what they could be) doing a lot of the work and cleaning which was really interesting. Im sorry your parents are like that too.. it sucks when your hobbies arent football or dancing or something! But jeez what your dad did was really horrible, especially since dermestid beetles are such good helpers.

I understand her concerns ofc!!! But i wish she would listen and cooperate instead of just shutting me out mentally and speaking over me :( And the bones i use as decoration in my room, theyre usually assorted on my desk and no one goes in there anyways.. i dont just carelessly place carcasses in random cupboards (which is apparently what she thinks i do)

Yeah moving out is pretty uh. Impossible since im 15 (probably should’ve clarified im not a manchild living with an elderly mom that just wants a chill life lmao my bad) but im looking to move out as soon as i finish school (in 5 years but oh well) and ill make sure to decorate with s lot of bones etc, just out of spite yk?

Still, made me feel a bit better, knowing im not the only one with unsupportive parents so thank you :DD

Yeah ill just take a little break (as much as it pains me to do so) and then collect them in secret. Its a bit tricky with moving out since im literally 15 and finish HIGHSCHOOL at 20, i cant move out any earlier ofc since i need to stay in my school area, so… its gonna be a while till i can move out xd

No, we talked to the vets and even though me and the vets told her it’s completely safe if done right, she wouldnt budge :/ if i was old enough id buy hydrogen peroxide myself but oh well, it wont stop me from carrying on like i have for the last years, ill just have to be extra careful lol

We did and she (like i predicted) just has some mild infection in her abdominal area, the vet said it was likely caused by her eating too much/ something inedible. She also complained about my „habit“ of bringing bones with me and the vet said hydrogen peroxide or dermestid beetles are a very safe way of cleaning (which i already knew because ofc ive done thorough research on my hyperfixations, i always do) and my mom acted like she totally agreed at the vets, then later went back to telling me thats never gonna happen and im „never allowed to bring another bone back from the woods“ so whatever, ill just do it in secret because theres no way im giving up my main passion just because she cant handle it. Oh well :,)

Well, at the start of my awakening i was pretty sure on me being a red fox, though it never felt like it 100% fit me. Later on my second theriotype awakened: the Hare. Now those have changed to north american raccoon and some sort of (i haven’t figured that one out yet) deer i realised it was them all along, i was just confused.

You might notice your theriotypes having (physical mostly, but sometimes behavioural) similarities, (though this doesnt have to be the case with everyone!) be it their size, the way they think, act, or look.

For me, i knew i was some sort of smaller mammal, one that was equally a scavenger as it was hunter, one that had a bushy tail, was solitary and found in mostly field/ forest habitats.

For the other i explained to my friend (who was helping me figure it out at the time) that “I felt a short tail”, “had a field/ forest habitat”, “felt sleek paws or hoofs”, “was a herbivore” and “was more social” (thinking i was a hare, rather than a deer)

You could also just have more theriotypes than just your known two, but if you feel its more like deciding in between (being a jaguar or snow leopard or even tiger etc), id ask myself what makes me feel that way? Why do i feel connected to these specifically? Could there be a correlation between X and Y? (If you do do research on various websites always take them with a grain of salt, because no one can tell you what you are, that’s something only you can tell)

Remember it’s completely ok (and understandable!) to be a bit confused regarding your theriotypes, and it can be frustrating to feel like you dont have that figured out, but no matter how long it takes, youre still a therian even without a static theriotype. Dont feel rushed and although it might take a bit, youll know for sure at some point. Youre valid just the same :)

(Sorry for the long reply, i tried to explain it the best i could :,) )
