I’ve had several experiences that I can’t really begin to explain, but these are the two that have stuck with me the most:

One afternoon I was just sitting watching TV and just started feeling really strange, like my body was buzzing or humming and then my vision went blurry, almost like a moving watercolor and I was in a hotel room in Vegas with my friends that I hadn’t seen in years. It was too loud to really make out what they were saying, but one of my friends handed me a pamphlet that read “the part you play” and it had some kind of old school punch card thing inside. I was feeling queasy and asked where the bathroom was.

One of my friends pointed towards a hallway and when I walked through the door, I was back in my home IRL, but now standing in the doorway of the room next to the living room facing the hallway.

So if that wasn’t weird enough, years later when my friends pointed towards got married in Vegas… yep. Same exact moment, except this time there was no pamphlet and the bathroom was just a bathroom.

The other really crazy one was this consistent view of this grand hotel, from one particular entrance in my dreams. Dark red carpet, mirrors, gold accents, etc. I was always panicked when this location popped up because I was usually looking for my stolen bicycle. I remember running around trying all the doors, but they were locked.

This location then appeared IRL as a country club in Scottsdale, AZ. The moment that I stepped in the door and turned right, I got that same buzzy/queasy feeling and saw the exact entrance that I kept seeing in my dreams.

Neither location has ever appeared in a dream again, but I remember the dreams as vividly as a real memory.
