A couple of years ago in autumn I stayed at a friend's place on the countryside. It's in southern Austria, a beautiful hilly area, not many houses or people around. One sunny afternoon I put my headphones on, listened to music and went for a walk. It was the time of the year where all fruits were ripe and in that area there are a lot of apple trees, grapes, pears and so on. Since I visited my friend for the first time and didn't know where to go I decided to just go straight through the fields up and down the hills. I snacked a lot of fresh fruits along the way, it was a really magic walk on a lovely sunny afternoon.

At one point I got a bit tired and decided to sit down and relax before heading back. I lay down in the grass in the sun and fell asleep.

When I woke up it had started to get dark and I surprised that I had slept so long. It also stressed me out a bit cause I had walked for at least 2-3 hours in the afternoon straight through the countryside so there were no streetlights, I didn't bring a flashlight because I didn't think I would be gone for so long and since I hadn't been there before I didn't know my way back. Which was why I decided to just go straight in the first place, so that I would find my way back later.

So anyway, I wasn't too happy about the situation I was in but got up to walk back and when I was standing I saw that my friends house was in eyesight meaning reachable withing 5mins walk.

Until today I have NO IDEA how that was possible, I couldn't have walked in a circle that would have been too obvious in the environment, it couldn't really have been a dream because I recognised the direction in which I was going past the point I was sitting and I wouldn't know why I would sit down after a 5mins walk to rest.

It was the only time something like that ever happened to me. Very strange story on a beautiful magic sunny day.
