Cool

Yeah. This fantastic woman married me. I have no idea why.
Also, I really don’t understand rockets at more than a superficial level, but I saw one launch once.
I’m quite uncertain about jet airplanes, especially when you’re, like, driving in the same direction and there’s a strong headwind, and it almost looks like you’re going faster than them? They’re just hanging there, god knows how many tons of metal and 300 people. It’s creepy.
And I really think economics is proof that we’re in the Matrix, because the more I think about it, the less (functional, not ethical) sense capitalism makes, and everybody who talks like they know about it just sounds like stringing together a bunch of buzzwords. Also, there’s that truism that if you ask four economists a question, you’ll get five opinions. Plus nobody can reliably predict the stock market; weather - a highly chaotic system - is more predictable than the stock market. It’s like the programmers put it in, but when it got to the point where they had to make it explainable, they couldn’t without introducing recursive conflicting rules, so it’s just hand-waving, and people pretending or misleading themselves that they know how it all works.
Yeah. Precognitive dreams mostly. Nothing I expect anyone else to believe, but I myself know because I documented them when I dreamed them, then the events occurred and it was such random, little detailed things that I could not possibly have predicted based on knowledge. Maybe everyone dreams the future and just forgets their dreams?
Some synchronicity things too, stepping into exactly the right place at the right time, wishing for something then having it immediately drop into my lap. Those I am minded to chalk up to random chance, but some are so comically obvious, things just appearing where they were not, right when I need them.
Yup, same. I would get this sense of deja vu except instead of feeling like I’ve been somewhere before it was feeling like I had previously dreamed the events that were about to happen. And yeah it was always minor stuff, a conversation, mom coming home angry about having dropped something expensive at work, the solution to some coding problem a friend was about to tell me, etc. I tried playing with it, and if I changed anything (‘Oh, I know what you’re about to say’, etc) it would disrupt it and not happen, but otherwise it happened the way I dreamed it every time. Sadly it got more and more uncommon as I got older, and now it’s been probably 10-15 years since the last time I remember.
What were the events that you dreamed?
The dumbest one that absolutely convinced me it was precog, was:
I was in line at the bank behind 3 women. They had a scale, one of those big Toledo No Springs ones. I stepped on the scale, but the dial went backwards. I turned around and saw this girl Joann, who I hadn’t seen since middle school.
I wrote all this down in the dream journal, and then didn’t think about it.
Couple weeks later, I’m at that bank. 3 women ahead of me in line. I get on the scale, but it says I weigh 30lb, it’s broken. I turn around and who do the see? Joann, that girl I had not seen since middle school.
What the fuck? It kinda pissed me off because I really don’t want to think the future is set to that extent. Like, seeing some big event that might echo back in time, sure. But a broken scale at some bank? Joann? I haven seen her since, either, we were not close, why would I dream her true?
I’ve read this a few times, and I can’t figure out what you’re referring to with a “scale” at the bank. What does that mean?
They had a big analog scale you could stand on, and a dial would go around the markings like a clock- there are still some of these same scales at grocery stores here. People use them to weigh themselves, or I see people weighing luggage on them. In the dream the dial went backwards but IRL it was just wrong, very wrong.
Google “Toledo No Springs Scale” and you will see them.
Right, but why is there a scale at a bank? I’ve been to many banks, and there’s been a scale for weighing humans at zero of them. That’s why I’m confused here. I know what a scale is.
No idea, you would have to ask the bank. I called that bank the “demon bank”, because the exterior walls were marble and the patterns looked like demons. Those scales still are at grocery stores here, I haven’t been in a physical bank for a long time. Here is the bank. It’s funny to me that a precognitive dream is humdrum but a scale at a bank is hanging you up. I already knew the scale was there, that was not part of the precognition.
Very interesting. I’ve never had anything paranormal happen to me but I like to believe in it and it’s always fun hearing accounts like these. I imagine it is a bit stressful having nightmares haha.
I would write them somewhere more public (like a blog) or with witnesses. If something that could never ever be a coincidence and becomes public knowledge happens (like a major disaster), people will doubt you wrote about it before hand. I’m sure proving yourself isn’t something you really care about, but every event that becomes accepted helps others come forward and removes some of the stigma imo.
Last year I was watching this show and and something odd happened. The camera turned to the fact of one of the characters and I don’t know why but it was like she was directly at me and she was talking about militias which was weird because I had just watched a video about one. As the vid went on I could have swore that one by one the characters just came out at me like that old Nintendo ad.
This happened about a year ago I still think about it. It wasn’t like I was tripping. I was a little drunk but that was about it.
My grandfather came to me in a trip in the shower and told me I’m wasting my life. I puked up steams. Quit my “finance bro” job moved to New Mexico and became a farmer. He’s been dead 20+ years.
Why I’m in this flesh robot to begin with.
One time on a summer day as a teenager I went to the grocery store with my Mom.
We parallel parked the car a ways away from other cars. We secured the car as normal and went on a short shopping trip.
When we came back out after maybe 15 minutes, all of the cars windows were rolled down completely.
We both know for a fact all the windows were rolled up when we left, and even if we had them down, there would have been no reason to have the back windows down.
Nothing was stolen, no one was around, everything appeared untouched.
This was a Nissan Murano if I recall correctly - it did have power windows, but at the time there was no fancy stuff to remote control car features outside of having a remote starter installed, which we did not have.
There was only one set of keys.
We still have absolutely no explanation for this to this day.
Even back then some door lock remotes had the option to hold down unlock to roll down all windows. Not super useful feature and remember using it.
Can you explain how you recognize someone’s face? Can you explain how you balance your body and move your feet correctly as you walk? Can you explain how you speak in grammatically correct sentences without consciously thinking about the rules of grammar?
The vast majority of our experiences are fundamentally inexplicable—basically, everything that isn’t part of our internal narrative.
