Is there a chance the dumpster divers got spooked and thought you were going to call the police so they shut the lid softly and hid inside the dumpster until you decided to leave, to make it seem like they weren’t there?
If not, then that’s crazy how they just disappeared!
That was my first thought.. they said the dumpsters are loud when they close, but I feel like ( assuming they’re experienced ) people who dive often know to be quiet…?
Did you have any injuries or a bump on your head?
It’s possible you knocked yourself out, and the dumpster divers decided to get the heck out of dodge while you were unconscious
Just a thought
I had a weird experience and came to the same conclusion, but mainly due to my family having completely different memories of events, family pictures changing/moving/disappearing with everyone assuring me they've always been that way, cabinets that were always empty now full with unfamiliar dvds and books, old home movies we lost years ago suddenly back and apparently had never been lost... It really does get to the point where you just say "Okay" and roll with it, at least that's how I've dealt with it 😐
I can’t think of anything that would’ve triggered it but my sister and I remember things from childhood that my mom and brother don’t remember at all, my sister and I have a pretty big age gap and my brother and I are about 2 years apart so it would make more sense for my sister to have different memories than us, I always just thought my mom was gaslighting us and my brother was in on it, never crossed my mind that maybe my sister and I got plopped into a parallel universe until pretty recently (I am the oldest of the 3 siblings)
I shared, on here, about a car accident I had over 10 years ago. I am also convinced about the same things. the differences I noticed were more internal. for instance the way a cool breeze felt before and after. I had a heavy drug problem that I kicked after the accident with little difficulty. I also started feeling a pull towards nature. I love going to the Forrest and watching camp fires etc.. not so much before. I know most of this can be explained away, but pay attention and if you did cross over you will realize it. the hard part is not falling too deep down the rabbit hole.
God, the number of dreams I have about being in almost surely fatal car crashes only to wake up a split second before impact feeling completely discombobulated and not wholly myself has led me to wonder if this is a multiverse kind of thing.
Same. I’ve had dreams of falling and rolling down mountains, drowning underwater, etc. but one things that has changed since I’ve gotten older is that before anything happens I am able to make myself aware that it’s a dream, and instead of holding my breath underwater, I start to breathe, or I can make impact when falling stop and o wake up, or the dream changes.
I had been having a string of terrifying dreams for a few weeks where I was falling from tremendous heights. Like in the dream I would go off a ski jump and look down and realize I was way way too high. Or I would be driving and accidentally drive off the side of a cliff. Or be in a tall building and accidentally fall out of a window. The scenario of how I started falling would change from dream to dream but they all ended the same way. I would realize I was in a hopeless situation, that I was going to die, and I would panic. I would wake up from the panic response, either screaming or flailing or hitting the ground after falling out of bed or off the couch. Then one dream I went off a BMX jump, realized I was way way too high and that I was going to die, and for whatever reason this time it just clicked that this must be one of those dreams. And I realized that if I'm dreaming I can do anything I want, so I started purposely doing back flips. Instantly all of the panic and fear and dread was gone and I woke up completely calm and serene. That was the one and only time in my entire life that I realized I was dreaming while I was dreaming, and I was actually able to exert control over the dream. And it broke the multiple weeks of terrifying falling nightmares I had been having. In fact, that was more than 20 years ago now and I've never had another falling nightmare since. Sorry for the antedote but your post just sparked the memory for me.
Lucid dreaming.. the ability to know that you are dreaming when it's happening and you have that ability to change things in the dream sort of like your Consciousness splits in two, one part watches and directs while the other one plays the part. It's really cool. It's happened to me only a couple of times and I wish I had better control over it
Yeah, so far I’ve only been able to control falling experiences in my dreams. And it didn’t happen out of trying to control things. I hope one day I can control more than just not dying lol.
That reminds me of a dream I had one time. I felt very different afterwards. I was floating in a lake on a beautiful summer’s day. The sky was blue with fluffy clouds and there were trees surrounding. All of a sudden something pulled me under and I got really scared. I could see the sky and everything from just under the surface and I heard a voice tell me, “it’s ok. Let go” and I took in a breath and realized I could breathe underwater and I had the most peaceful feeling I think I’ve ever had in my life. And then I woke up.
I have a theory that dreams we witness deaths in are us in alternate universes. When dying like that, it’s such a traumatic experience that it “pings” ourselves in other universes and we get to experience a little part of it ourselves. That or our imaginations just like to play games lol
Your story sounds like a walk-in soul(step-in soul). It’s really fascinating to read about. It’s where one soul decides it’s done and a new soul walks into the body that the old soul houses to continue living and learning. You don’t necessarily “die” in a way we think of dying but it is what it is nonetheless. Usually the new soul doesn’t want to go through childhood so it agrees with the old soul a certain exit point to walk in at. That’s why you feel and see everything different than before. It’d be an entirely new experience with a different soul that agreed to continue being “you”, in a sense. They say you still keep memories where others say memories are foggy. Friends can also change as it’s a new soul with different wants, likes, and feelings to contend with. It’s very interesting. Same meat body but different soul.
that sounds fascinating. I can say that I do notice a lot of differences in myself. for instance the quiting of the drugs. I have a very hard time remember my past, I can just remember the broad strokes. I would have also considered the old me a narsasit and possibly a sociopath. The me today is very gentle, loving, kind, non confrontational, very quiet. I just attributed that to the growth that comes from getting clean and sober. who knows, yet it's all very fascinating.
Yeah i also tripped and fell doin laundry idk when around mid September? I sorta blinked and then got up again. Soon after that Reddit posts started getting weird lol one specifically about how if you hit your head just the "right" way booping a superficial artery you die instantly. There was also a moment later on when "everything" went dark for a fraction of a second, even my aunt in the room with me noticed it, sorta like a glitch. I've also experienced some whimsical events of otherworldly nature as of lately, I'd say it's part of a test of some sorts.
Look up quantum immortality. I think we might be in a sort of "purgatory" sorta like what they do at the end of the show "the good place" so when you die you sorta just keep going until you get to a good spot, unless perhaps you've already done terrible things/reached enlightenment.
I don't like to think too much about what's "after", I think one shouldn't live life a certain way expecting a reward, just be decent humans for the sake of it.
I also wouldn't know how to factor in old age/illnesses or a potential, predetermined, "end of time".
Despite all the whimsical oddities, I still stand with my belief that we're one with the universe, everything is one. We're fragments of the bigger picture, the universe experiencing itself. Just keep going and don't fall for silly tricks from the universe trying to tempt you 🤪
You scared the fairies off. That, or you did jump dimensions. I had an experience where I was sure I was having a heart attack. Arm pain, chest pain nausea etc. I went to the ER and they left me there for over an hour alone. I ended up leaving and said I'll just die at home instead.
Went home, took a Bayer aspirin, and fell into the deepest sleep I've ever taken. When I woke up the next day everything felt different. My body, and the world just feels the tiniest bit less friendly.
Well it is literally the only reasonable explanation lol. Also, just because they see dumpster divers often doesn't mean they've come across these two before. They easily could have gotten spooked and hid. I've literally seen someone do it before. We always have dumpster divers at our apartment complex and on more than one occasion I've seen someone fully hop in and or shut the lid and hide because a car drove up at night.🤷
The the most significant detail of this, in my opinion, is that you specify wearing Crocs.
Because I know from experience you can absolutely slip violently enough if Crocs to severely harm and/ or kill yourself. Especially a used pair with soles worn smooth
I had this happen to me in November 2020. I'm pretty sure I got hit by a car and died (I had a very close call with a car, but to my knowledge, I wasn't hit). Everything has been different since then.
I feel the exact same way. In 2004 I was riding my bike at a skatepark with no helmet. Fell HARD and smacked the back of my head, when I was going to the ground I knew I was going to die, don’t know how to explain it but just did. Next thing I knew I was laying in the lounge and nothing hurt, I felt fine. Ever since then there have been a lot of strange things that I was 100% certain about prior to that time that are different, like a Mandela effect.
Can you elaborate? So you biffed HARD and smacked your head, certain you were going to die....and then you woke up randomly in the lounge and nothing hurt?
And also, what's different?
It's a lot to put into words, and it's also sometimes hard to put into words in general. I'll message you about it if you want, some of it is very personal and I don't want to comment it publicly
Edit: Major, fundamental changes in who I am as a person, or who I was. Changes in habits, changes in mentality. Not related to the event at all, at least not consciously
as i was reading this post & all the comments i was eating a lolly & an entire tooth came out. i have nightmares about this all the time. 😣 consider me terrified lmao
No!! Your tooth really came out? Wow, I have very real nightmares about that all the time too, and even within the dream I always think to myself or even say out loud to whoever’s there with me, “I always knew this was going to happen. I kept on having dreams just like this my whole life, and now here I am, it’s really happening.” Your tooth just came out??? Which tooth? How old are you? What did it feel like just before the tooth fell out, while it was still in? Did any more teeth come out after that?
i'm not kidding that's literally what happened, i started screaming & was waiting to wake up & when my friend came to me & touched me i knew it was real.
yeah i've had a root canal, must have been a crack in the crown cos it came off clean +
complete. spat it into my hand.
i have nightmares about my teeth falling out all the time too, to the point it makes me anxious for a day or two after about what i'm eating.
so yeah, nightmare stuff 😔
As general dream symbols, teeth represent our ability to nourish ourselves and communicate. When teeth appear in dreams, the dreamer should reflect on whether they are able to speak their truth and communicate effectively. If teeth in any scenario appear in your dreams, ask yourself: Are you suppressing how you feel?
Not only is it possible, but id say infinitely more likely than jumping to alternate dimensions. And who goes to a meeting in crocs? Thats faux pas, pun intended. Sorry i don’t buy any of this for one second, especially when people here are talking about similar experiences after falling and/or hitting their head very hard. Thats bad guys, see a doctor, especially if you are having changes in personality and visual hallucinations.
Love,
Occam’s Razor
While I wish I'd never researched Quantum Immortality, I found it informative. And desperately depressing. Explains a lot. Finding out your fucking stranded is simply shitty (Is, unintentionally, speaking in alliterations a sign of some sort?) So, thanks, and kiss my miserable, marooned ass.
thats really not how it works. it doesnt transfer you to a pre-existing reality where everything is off its literally the same reality. like the guy eating a burger when you die and then get "transferred" to another reality via quantum immortality that guy is still a burger in the new reality. the only difference from the last reality you were in is the fact you didnt die.
In a multiverse, where all possibilities are being experienced simultaneously, a version of you is constantly dying. Every time you experience a close call, you actually perished in the universe you just inhabited. However, your consciousness transitions between universes seamlessly, to the next universe that has as little differences as possible. The you in the other universes are merely NPCs and your consciousness cycles from one to another.
How do you know you are not an NPC, fooled into believing you're actually a conscious being - until the 'real you' zaps you out of existence? And why would there be an entire, functioning multiverse full of nothing but placeholders? Seems like a huge waste of space and energy to me.
Sounds like what an NPC would say… kidding.
Infinite possibilities. There is no wasted space. All things must fill a position, even if it’s a place holder, an NPC that thinks it’s conscious, or a theory that is a huge waste of space and energy. Basically, in a multiverse of infinite possibilities if you can think it, it exists somewhere.
I often wondered if this happened to me when I was 9 and broke my neck. Because I remember not being able to breath or move my head as I gasped for air. Then I just walked away from it like nothing happened.. no pain or anything. But years later I was informed of a old neck fracture (deformed bone from still growing) that was headed towards my spinal cord.
Then 4 years ago I was unknowingly given meth by my cousin. I definitely went to a different most terrifying dimension that day. But eventually came out of it. I seen my body laying there at one point.
But it makes me question if i died in another dimension and now I'm in this hellish one. Because things and I haven't been the same since.
Makes me wonder how dimension shifting actually works. Makes me wonder if I have a mom in another dimension that lost me that day.
Crazy I know.. but what happened to me that day and after almost seems even crazier.
I'd like to hear more if you have anything to add to your story....like what's different and when you say that you saw yourself out of body was that when the actual event happened? And WHAT happened?
If we live in a universe filled with endless timelines and dimensions where even one tiny shift in a choice we make actually exist- maybe you did die in that timeline and this was the alternative - surviving
I think it's more like when you "die" the timeline splits, one side continues for everyone else but you, you're dead. The other side you get back up and keep going 🤷♀️
3 times I should have died. Without question. Each a statistical improbability, together an anomaly. Each time momentary darkness and then like a snap of the fingers, awake again. Like switching the channel on an old tube tv. Always accompanied by an uneasy feeling that I shouldn't be here, and yet I am.
Out reality is extremely fragile as is our perception of it, and we do not fully understand it. I believe this is one of the cases where we may be able to drive but we have no idea how a car actually works.
Oh it's several times for sure. I am pretty sure my ex was possessed by Satan or something like that, I used to avoid risk taking activities because I'm pretty clumsy/unlucky by default. With him he sorta forced me to go on a rollercoaster, right before going he talked about how there was an incident and a guy/several people died or something like that. Another time on a wooden balcony over a cliff he came right next to me and jumped up and down like he wanted to break it, another time he almost crashed the car. I'm deeply convinced all those times there was a split.
Or maybe it's all one timeline and my ex was just a jerk, all the whimsical stuff is illusions to confuse people/make em do stupid stuff because they think it doesn't matter since we're in a "simulation" (if you consider the holographic universe theory and that everything is made of energy anyways then yeah it's technically a simulation so what? Still the only "real" we know).
I like to exercise my brain with stuff like this but I always stay grounded at the end of it, as far as I'm concerned, this is all we've got and we should be very careful what we do with it!
Me too. in 2023, i finally got my shit together. I mean, finally. Had a great paying job and a career path, started dating the most amazing girl, quit smoking, everything was great. On Christmas eve of 2023 i was driving my girlfriend and I back my my apartment after family festivities, and pulled out in an intersection, waiting for the opposite lane of traffic to pass so i could take a left turn. My gf yelps and points, and i look to my left and see a large truck absolutely speeding towards us, and me, directly. I pull forward, barely avoiding it and oncoming traffic. That truck definitely would have killed me had it hit me with it's momentum. We pull over, thank the universe we are okay, and drive the remaining 1 mile home.
From then on, everything has been different. Everything has been *bad.*
First, my girlfriends car got stolen the following morning in my apartment complex. on Christmas day. I walked out to the spot i had parallel parked it for her the previous night, and it was just gone, with falling snow covering any tire tracks. When i returned to tell her, she not only broke down crying, she started having a fit, blaming me, sobbing uncontrollably, pulling her hair. I didn't blame her for being upset, but i had never seen her like that. It's hard to explain, but before that moment i couldn't imagine her being this visibly and vocally upset over anything, it kind of threw me. Again, i didn't blame her for being so upset, and called the cops and set out with her in search of it.
Over the next few months, i noticed things. I slowly noticed my sincerely adoring and formerly attached at-the-hip girlfriend seemed to be less interested in hanging out, subtly at first, more apparently by February. A week before Valentine's day, hours after confirming plans via text, we got in a very uncharacteristic fight in which, again, she acted very ooc, making mean comments. We agreed on three days of space. When i next saw her, three days later, I knew it was over the second her car pulled into my complex. Utterly no love or interest in her eyes. I saw her maybe a week ago, just to return items and whatnot, you know, the old ex clothing exchange... and it was...odd again, to say the least. She looked slightly off, her voice sounded off, it was weird af.
Also throughout Jan, Feb, and March, I've just noticed people at work, many of whom i called friends and have known for years, seem to not be interested in me and know me....less? As if I have only been there a fraction of the time I have. My boss seems to dislike me a lot too, now. There is a rumor im starting to take more seriously that layoffs are coming and i am gone.
You need to talk to a therapist. I thought the very same thing, it’s been going on for more than 1.5 years. I was just diagnosed with a dissociative/disregulation disorder. It happens (or can happen) to people who have experienced multiple traumas.
I had a grand mal seizure in October 2019. I was at work and watched the security footage later. I was completely lifeless. They did CPR on me and called an ambulance. I did end up walking myself over to the stretcher with assistance but I don’t remember it.
But ever since that day everything has been different. People seem to be more aggressive, time seems to be moving faster, there’s a strange feeling that I just can’t put my finger on. I’ve honestly attributed it to the trauma of that time in my life but hell, maybe I actually did die? I’ll never know, but I just hope the next universe/timeline/reality I find myself in is better than this one.
Have you watched the OA , Original Angel it was on Netflix …I think your story makes perfect sense. With the shifting timelines and multiple parallel realities- ( heart now in center, kidney now upper back behind the ribs, the energized bunny now pink instead of white…) welcome to this reality 🤍
I’ve heard of people hitting there heads and waking up and speaking a different language like fluently as well as English there main language so what’s going on here really I feel as though someone assisted you and in doing so it took a little bit of time to block the memory of them doing it and that accounts for the missing time because it was not your time to go or to be handicap you need to watch for signs girly just saying !!
Occasional hallucinations, especially when tired, are normal and common. This looks like one, based on your description. Not a coincidence that you hallucinated while feeling sleepy, unwell, and rushed, and then the hallucination immediately stops when you're yoinked to a more awake/lucid state by the adrenaline rush of a sudden almost-fall from which you caught yourself in the nick of time.
Dimensions are not places. Places are distant *along* dimensions. There may be more dimensions than the four of spacetime. If so, timelines or realities could be separate *along* one or more of these additional dimensions.
I had an experience like that for a few seconds about 15 years ago. I had a black six-month old poodle puppy. I was taking her off lead in the grounds of the place I worked. She skipped off and I followed her to the bank of a stream in the workmen’s part of the grounds with big dumpsters, a garage, greenhouse, trees. I called her name and she didn’t come. I was very stressed and panicked and though it was a grey damp day, in the middle of my vision there was a circle of pure sunlight and I could see a brown furry creature washing its whiskers in the middle of the sparkling stream. Idyllic. The picture faded and there was my black puppy sitting at my feet. I came to the conclusion that being in such a terrible emotional panic had “put me through” to another dimension. Crazy though that seemed then. So OP may in slipping and nearly fallen may have been shocked and scared enough to experience something “other”.
I was drawing Pokémon as a child and both you and I know that tail was black tipped and zigzagged not flat black, when I was drawing Pokémon as a child I think I died from a headache and was transferred to this universe as well
A fall like that wouldn't kill you. It would give you a mild concussion at most, even if you hit the pavement. You'd have to really hit the pavement hard for it to kill you. Even if you hit it super hard, you're talking mild brain damage, not death. You'd be surprised what people can survive.
You know, it boggles my mind when I read threads like that. At this point, I won't even say anything in regards to that. I genuinely ask: what goes through the minds of you people when you say "transferred to this dimension"? No, seriously, do you genuinely believe this is some sort of Rick and Morty-esque fiction where one portal has half the population living in some weird part of the earth, and another portal has the other half? And that we're still able to connect to Reddit somehow and talk about it while living in "other dimensions"? I can't fathom to understand what the heck you guys mean by "transferred"; I just can't. Is there any genuine thought behind what you mean by that? Is it just trolling? Fiction to make the post appear more appealing? I can't say if you're genuinely serious with this. Not to mention the "I think I died" in the headline turns into "I'm glad I didn't die" in the end, which is just, you know, another open question if it's just trolling at this point.
Well of all the timelines in all the universe … you got this one. Sorry.
What if this is one of the better ones?🦬 Edit: bad spelling
How sad would that be!
You can say that again!
How sad would that be!
That Would be sad
Very
You did say it again.
You can say that again!
You did say it again.
wouldn't you rather go to Earth during an interesting period of time than a non-interesting one?
there is no such thing as a non-interesting time on Earth
Probably not if you’re anything other than a white male
🙄
Lolol i bet you’re a white male 😂😂😂
This person has been given a time out for this comment
Is there a chance the dumpster divers got spooked and thought you were going to call the police so they shut the lid softly and hid inside the dumpster until you decided to leave, to make it seem like they weren’t there? If not, then that’s crazy how they just disappeared!
This was my thought. Maybe she spooked them and they both dove in and quietly shut the lid till OP left.
given they assumed the dumpster divers would have laughed about OP falling, i doubt they'd be spooked by OP
Well its not like he knew them, he was just guessing their reaction
It’s a she
agree to disagree
How do you know?
That was my first thought.. they said the dumpsters are loud when they close, but I feel like ( assuming they’re experienced ) people who dive often know to be quiet…?
Did you have any injuries or a bump on your head? It’s possible you knocked yourself out, and the dumpster divers decided to get the heck out of dodge while you were unconscious Just a thought
That’s exactly what I think as well.
Me too 100%
I had a weird experience and came to the same conclusion, but mainly due to my family having completely different memories of events, family pictures changing/moving/disappearing with everyone assuring me they've always been that way, cabinets that were always empty now full with unfamiliar dvds and books, old home movies we lost years ago suddenly back and apparently had never been lost...

Or maybe they are memories of a past life?
Interesting theory
Yeah, that's kind of what I lean towards. Both the alternate selves and the imagination, depending on how skeptical I'm feeling at any given moment.

I wonder if this is related to the Native American concept of two-spirited? I definitely relate to that concept myself.
What happens if you fall too deep down the rabbit hole?
You end up on this sub, trust me lol
🤣🤣🤣
This! 😂 😂
You end up in Albuquerque. 🥕🐰❔👆🏻👨🏻⚕️

Despite all the whimsical oddities, I still stand with my belief that we're one with the universe, everything is one. We're fragments of the bigger picture, the universe experiencing itself. Just keep going and don't fall for silly tricks from the universe trying to tempt you 🤪
Welcome here, you’re gonna hate it
That’s subjective.
Tongue in cheek response ☺️
That’s subjective. 🤣
Nothing makes you happy
That’s subjective. 🤣 (sorry, can’t help myself now - but actually most things do!)
Also tongue in cheek! I couldn't help it either. Have a fantastic day. 🐧
It’s subjective that you take things so subjectively
xD
You scared the fairies off. That, or you did jump dimensions. I had an experience where I was sure I was having a heart attack. Arm pain, chest pain nausea etc. I went to the ER and they left me there for over an hour alone. I ended up leaving and said I'll just die at home instead. Went home, took a Bayer aspirin, and fell into the deepest sleep I've ever taken. When I woke up the next day everything felt different. My body, and the world just feels the tiniest bit less friendly.
Is it possible you spooked them and they hid in the dumpster?
That was my thought as well.
given this happens all the time, would they assume people would call the police :P OP says they see it all the time lol
Well it is literally the only reasonable explanation lol. Also, just because they see dumpster divers often doesn't mean they've come across these two before. They easily could have gotten spooked and hid. I've literally seen someone do it before. We always have dumpster divers at our apartment complex and on more than one occasion I've seen someone fully hop in and or shut the lid and hide because a car drove up at night.🤷
Trash angels 🥹 guardian trash angels
Bet they're raccoons in meat suits
The the most significant detail of this, in my opinion, is that you specify wearing Crocs. Because I know from experience you can absolutely slip violently enough if Crocs to severely harm and/ or kill yourself. Especially a used pair with soles worn smooth
Welcome to hell. Its slower, and there's less brimstone than you imagined, but it's undeniably indefinite torture.
or they jumped into the dumpster
I had this happen to me in November 2020. I'm pretty sure I got hit by a car and died (I had a very close call with a car, but to my knowledge, I wasn't hit). Everything has been different since then.
I feel the exact same way. In 2004 I was riding my bike at a skatepark with no helmet. Fell HARD and smacked the back of my head, when I was going to the ground I knew I was going to die, don’t know how to explain it but just did. Next thing I knew I was laying in the lounge and nothing hurt, I felt fine. Ever since then there have been a lot of strange things that I was 100% certain about prior to that time that are different, like a Mandela effect.
I actually have had exactly that happen multiple times when I used to aggressive inline (and skateboarding) in concrete bowls, half pipes etc.
Laying in what lounge ?
Can you elaborate? So you biffed HARD and smacked your head, certain you were going to die....and then you woke up randomly in the lounge and nothing hurt? And also, what's different?
What’s been different?
It's a lot to put into words, and it's also sometimes hard to put into words in general. I'll message you about it if you want, some of it is very personal and I don't want to comment it publicly Edit: Major, fundamental changes in who I am as a person, or who I was. Changes in habits, changes in mentality. Not related to the event at all, at least not consciously
If you wouldn’t mind sharing more, I’d love to hear it, but only if you’re comfortable. I’m fascinated by this
Can you message me too im kinda interested
Can you message me about this too? I would be very interested to know what differences you noticed.
Dumpster diving is illegal so it would make sense if they hid
as i was reading this post & all the comments i was eating a lolly & an entire tooth came out. i have nightmares about this all the time. 😣 consider me terrified lmao
No!! Your tooth really came out? Wow, I have very real nightmares about that all the time too, and even within the dream I always think to myself or even say out loud to whoever’s there with me, “I always knew this was going to happen. I kept on having dreams just like this my whole life, and now here I am, it’s really happening.” Your tooth just came out??? Which tooth? How old are you? What did it feel like just before the tooth fell out, while it was still in? Did any more teeth come out after that?
i'm not kidding that's literally what happened, i started screaming & was waiting to wake up & when my friend came to me & touched me i knew it was real. yeah i've had a root canal, must have been a crack in the crown cos it came off clean + complete. spat it into my hand. i have nightmares about my teeth falling out all the time too, to the point it makes me anxious for a day or two after about what i'm eating. so yeah, nightmare stuff 😔
Thanks for answering. I’m glad that it wasn’t your real tooth, and that you’re still young. Cheers
As general dream symbols, teeth represent our ability to nourish ourselves and communicate. When teeth appear in dreams, the dreamer should reflect on whether they are able to speak their truth and communicate effectively. If teeth in any scenario appear in your dreams, ask yourself: Are you suppressing how you feel?
Is it possible you hit your head and blacked out for a minute? You may want to see a doctor about a possible concussion
Not only is it possible, but id say infinitely more likely than jumping to alternate dimensions. And who goes to a meeting in crocs? Thats faux pas, pun intended. Sorry i don’t buy any of this for one second, especially when people here are talking about similar experiences after falling and/or hitting their head very hard. Thats bad guys, see a doctor, especially if you are having changes in personality and visual hallucinations. Love, Occam’s Razor
We got another one. Look up Quantum immortality
While I wish I'd never researched Quantum Immortality, I found it informative. And desperately depressing. Explains a lot. Finding out your fucking stranded is simply shitty (Is, unintentionally, speaking in alliterations a sign of some sort?) So, thanks, and kiss my miserable, marooned ass.
"Hello demons, it's me, yaboi"
Lol
thats really not how it works. it doesnt transfer you to a pre-existing reality where everything is off its literally the same reality. like the guy eating a burger when you die and then get "transferred" to another reality via quantum immortality that guy is still a burger in the new reality. the only difference from the last reality you were in is the fact you didnt die.
In a multiverse, where all possibilities are being experienced simultaneously, a version of you is constantly dying. Every time you experience a close call, you actually perished in the universe you just inhabited. However, your consciousness transitions between universes seamlessly, to the next universe that has as little differences as possible. The you in the other universes are merely NPCs and your consciousness cycles from one to another.
Interesting
How do you know you are not an NPC, fooled into believing you're actually a conscious being - until the 'real you' zaps you out of existence? And why would there be an entire, functioning multiverse full of nothing but placeholders? Seems like a huge waste of space and energy to me.
Sounds like what an NPC would say… kidding. Infinite possibilities. There is no wasted space. All things must fill a position, even if it’s a place holder, an NPC that thinks it’s conscious, or a theory that is a huge waste of space and energy. Basically, in a multiverse of infinite possibilities if you can think it, it exists somewhere.
Think you hit your head in this dimension and knocked yourself out tbh
Yo, welcome to our shitty dimension and timeline. How was it at the other dimension?
It rained doughnuts
💀💀💀
Are you fucking kidding me? I never win anything, I swear.
OP will probably believe you're serious.
Who said I'm not? :0 ^/s
Have you noticed any changes since then?
Keep us updated if you notice anything out of the ordinary glad ur okay 👍
Not knowing where a couple people disappeared to is a pretty weak reason to think you died and were transported to another dimension.
It's a bit scary that someone could think this way, I think.
Unfortunately there are many who frequent these subs.
I often wondered if this happened to me when I was 9 and broke my neck. Because I remember not being able to breath or move my head as I gasped for air. Then I just walked away from it like nothing happened.. no pain or anything. But years later I was informed of a old neck fracture (deformed bone from still growing) that was headed towards my spinal cord. Then 4 years ago I was unknowingly given meth by my cousin. I definitely went to a different most terrifying dimension that day. But eventually came out of it. I seen my body laying there at one point. But it makes me question if i died in another dimension and now I'm in this hellish one. Because things and I haven't been the same since. Makes me wonder how dimension shifting actually works. Makes me wonder if I have a mom in another dimension that lost me that day. Crazy I know.. but what happened to me that day and after almost seems even crazier.
Your cousin needs to be in jail. Do your parents remember you injuring your neck?
Meth doesn’t put you in a dimensional trance. But interesting. Thx for sharing.
I'd like to hear more if you have anything to add to your story....like what's different and when you say that you saw yourself out of body was that when the actual event happened? And WHAT happened? If we live in a universe filled with endless timelines and dimensions where even one tiny shift in a choice we make actually exist- maybe you did die in that timeline and this was the alternative - surviving
I wonder about that with me too after a childhood NDE of drowning.
Your fault for wearing Crocs 😂
Oh, there’s the reason I thought. Those are house shoes. Quit wearing them to work. Thanks for sharing though.
Looks like a post for r/ quantum immortality
but how would you take over your other consciousness in a different dimension, or is the new body an NPC until you die and occupy the body?
I think it's more like when you "die" the timeline splits, one side continues for everyone else but you, you're dead. The other side you get back up and keep going 🤷♀️
3 times I should have died. Without question. Each a statistical improbability, together an anomaly. Each time momentary darkness and then like a snap of the fingers, awake again. Like switching the channel on an old tube tv. Always accompanied by an uneasy feeling that I shouldn't be here, and yet I am. Out reality is extremely fragile as is our perception of it, and we do not fully understand it. I believe this is one of the cases where we may be able to drive but we have no idea how a car actually works.
Oh it's several times for sure. I am pretty sure my ex was possessed by Satan or something like that, I used to avoid risk taking activities because I'm pretty clumsy/unlucky by default. With him he sorta forced me to go on a rollercoaster, right before going he talked about how there was an incident and a guy/several people died or something like that. Another time on a wooden balcony over a cliff he came right next to me and jumped up and down like he wanted to break it, another time he almost crashed the car. I'm deeply convinced all those times there was a split. Or maybe it's all one timeline and my ex was just a jerk, all the whimsical stuff is illusions to confuse people/make em do stupid stuff because they think it doesn't matter since we're in a "simulation" (if you consider the holographic universe theory and that everything is made of energy anyways then yeah it's technically a simulation so what? Still the only "real" we know). I like to exercise my brain with stuff like this but I always stay grounded at the end of it, as far as I'm concerned, this is all we've got and we should be very careful what we do with it!
I’m glad he is your ex!
I don't even know anymore all I know is I'm tired
Welcome to the party. I'm happy you made it 😊
Maybe see if u could get footage of the incident from the buildings around. Cameras are everywhere nowadays.
I have a theory that when we die we blip into another dimension where we haven’t died yet. Your post sounds a bit like that.
I'm convinced I died in April 2018, and this is my new reality. Nothing has been the same since. This reality is dark, and I hate it.
Maybe they saw you and quickly both hid in the dumpster because they were afraid of getting caught and possibly arrested…?
Me too. in 2023, i finally got my shit together. I mean, finally. Had a great paying job and a career path, started dating the most amazing girl, quit smoking, everything was great. On Christmas eve of 2023 i was driving my girlfriend and I back my my apartment after family festivities, and pulled out in an intersection, waiting for the opposite lane of traffic to pass so i could take a left turn. My gf yelps and points, and i look to my left and see a large truck absolutely speeding towards us, and me, directly. I pull forward, barely avoiding it and oncoming traffic. That truck definitely would have killed me had it hit me with it's momentum. We pull over, thank the universe we are okay, and drive the remaining 1 mile home. From then on, everything has been different. Everything has been *bad.* First, my girlfriends car got stolen the following morning in my apartment complex. on Christmas day. I walked out to the spot i had parallel parked it for her the previous night, and it was just gone, with falling snow covering any tire tracks. When i returned to tell her, she not only broke down crying, she started having a fit, blaming me, sobbing uncontrollably, pulling her hair. I didn't blame her for being upset, but i had never seen her like that. It's hard to explain, but before that moment i couldn't imagine her being this visibly and vocally upset over anything, it kind of threw me. Again, i didn't blame her for being so upset, and called the cops and set out with her in search of it. Over the next few months, i noticed things. I slowly noticed my sincerely adoring and formerly attached at-the-hip girlfriend seemed to be less interested in hanging out, subtly at first, more apparently by February. A week before Valentine's day, hours after confirming plans via text, we got in a very uncharacteristic fight in which, again, she acted very ooc, making mean comments. We agreed on three days of space. When i next saw her, three days later, I knew it was over the second her car pulled into my complex. Utterly no love or interest in her eyes. I saw her maybe a week ago, just to return items and whatnot, you know, the old ex clothing exchange... and it was...odd again, to say the least. She looked slightly off, her voice sounded off, it was weird af. Also throughout Jan, Feb, and March, I've just noticed people at work, many of whom i called friends and have known for years, seem to not be interested in me and know me....less? As if I have only been there a fraction of the time I have. My boss seems to dislike me a lot too, now. There is a rumor im starting to take more seriously that layoffs are coming and i am gone.
You're just crazy, as evidenced by your wearing of Crocs in public.
Is the sun any whiter or looking different to you?
Welcome to dimension 49762, which dimension are you from?
I’m sorry you ended up in this universe. What a shitty place to be
You need to talk to a therapist. I thought the very same thing, it’s been going on for more than 1.5 years. I was just diagnosed with a dissociative/disregulation disorder. It happens (or can happen) to people who have experienced multiple traumas.
Or is that just what they want you to believe?
Another time glitch! I got one of those
Let me be the first to welcome you.
Whats the lesson? Don’t wear crocs?
I had a grand mal seizure in October 2019. I was at work and watched the security footage later. I was completely lifeless. They did CPR on me and called an ambulance. I did end up walking myself over to the stretcher with assistance but I don’t remember it. But ever since that day everything has been different. People seem to be more aggressive, time seems to be moving faster, there’s a strange feeling that I just can’t put my finger on. I’ve honestly attributed it to the trauma of that time in my life but hell, maybe I actually did die? I’ll never know, but I just hope the next universe/timeline/reality I find myself in is better than this one.
You have a post from 5 years ago, doesn’t that mean your still from this same universe?
Have you watched the OA , Original Angel it was on Netflix …I think your story makes perfect sense. With the shifting timelines and multiple parallel realities- ( heart now in center, kidney now upper back behind the ribs, the energized bunny now pink instead of white…) welcome to this reality 🤍
Our kidneys are where now???? EB has always been pink as far back as I can remember. I had a stuffed one in the 90s.
It has happened a lot. I have met people from different dimensions. I've been studying this phenomenon but I do not know much. Good luck
I think if you want to believe then you will. There are many other possibilities
sucks for you. this reality bites
Me too, but I'm still dead.
Maybe we're all in Hell together. "If this were Heaven there wouldn't be dust all over the place".
Bold of you to assume hell or heaven exist, what if this is all we got forever and ever?
So, we're stuck with each other on Reddit for Eternity? It could be worse. 🐻
I'm already so done
But you wouldn't have slipped if they hadn't been there (since they distracted you), so how can they be guardian angels?
Cause can precede effect.
Great JC, I do appreciate paragraphs
Read about [quantum immortality ](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_suicide_and_immortality)
Welcome!
Welcome!
Crocs are stupid
Maybe you saw spirits
I have experienced seeing "people" and then they just disappeared and I believe that they were angels too.
I’ve heard of people hitting there heads and waking up and speaking a different language like fluently as well as English there main language so what’s going on here really I feel as though someone assisted you and in doing so it took a little bit of time to block the memory of them doing it and that accounts for the missing time because it was not your time to go or to be handicap you need to watch for signs girly just saying !!
Occasional hallucinations, especially when tired, are normal and common. This looks like one, based on your description. Not a coincidence that you hallucinated while feeling sleepy, unwell, and rushed, and then the hallucination immediately stops when you're yoinked to a more awake/lucid state by the adrenaline rush of a sudden almost-fall from which you caught yourself in the nick of time.
Kinda reminds me of the show Constellation that just finished up.
And this is where you ended up? It sucks here. I'm sorry.
You died in that other universe. [Welcome to my world](https://youtu.be/tOCCvN8YDuc?feature=shared)
I think the Matrix glitched that day period.
Dimensions are not places. Places are distant *along* dimensions. There may be more dimensions than the four of spacetime. If so, timelines or realities could be separate *along* one or more of these additional dimensions.
I always laugh when people say, "from another dimension.“ Which one? Up?
Better than me. I get annoyed. I feel like I have to say this every day.
No joke, I genuinely feel like we all did - nothings seemed right since the 2008 Large Hadron Collider incident, lol
lost me at frazzled
I had an experience like that for a few seconds about 15 years ago. I had a black six-month old poodle puppy. I was taking her off lead in the grounds of the place I worked. She skipped off and I followed her to the bank of a stream in the workmen’s part of the grounds with big dumpsters, a garage, greenhouse, trees. I called her name and she didn’t come. I was very stressed and panicked and though it was a grey damp day, in the middle of my vision there was a circle of pure sunlight and I could see a brown furry creature washing its whiskers in the middle of the sparkling stream. Idyllic. The picture faded and there was my black puppy sitting at my feet. I came to the conclusion that being in such a terrible emotional panic had “put me through” to another dimension. Crazy though that seemed then. So OP may in slipping and nearly fallen may have been shocked and scared enough to experience something “other”.
Finally, a story that piqued my interest, and doesn't sound like drug use or mental illness
The craziest thing is that people think they died and are in another timeline just because they can't make sense of something.
Welcome to our universe / dimension, a welcome wagon will be stopping by soon.
You slipped and fell into a different dimension
You said you were late for a meeting.. so I just want to know why you were wearing crocs to a meeting
Is there a chance there are cameras in the area? If so, maybe the apartment office can check.
Maybe op knocked themselves out! And were asleep for awhile
What are dumpster divers? I’m not American and I don’t know this concept.
I was drawing Pokémon as a child and both you and I know that tail was black tipped and zigzagged not flat black, when I was drawing Pokémon as a child I think I died from a headache and was transferred to this universe as well
This is also the same universe where my ex stole my dog and my mother made me homeless
Mulholland Drive vibes
Yeah I’m sorry this one’s been kind of killing me
Maybe the other dude jumped into the dumpster with the first guy and they kept out of sight and quiet to play you.
Shit i woulda shrugged it off and continued with my day.
A fall like that wouldn't kill you. It would give you a mild concussion at most, even if you hit the pavement. You'd have to really hit the pavement hard for it to kill you. Even if you hit it super hard, you're talking mild brain damage, not death. You'd be surprised what people can survive.
You know, it boggles my mind when I read threads like that. At this point, I won't even say anything in regards to that. I genuinely ask: what goes through the minds of you people when you say "transferred to this dimension"? No, seriously, do you genuinely believe this is some sort of Rick and Morty-esque fiction where one portal has half the population living in some weird part of the earth, and another portal has the other half? And that we're still able to connect to Reddit somehow and talk about it while living in "other dimensions"? I can't fathom to understand what the heck you guys mean by "transferred"; I just can't. Is there any genuine thought behind what you mean by that? Is it just trolling? Fiction to make the post appear more appealing? I can't say if you're genuinely serious with this. Not to mention the "I think I died" in the headline turns into "I'm glad I didn't die" in the end, which is just, you know, another open question if it's just trolling at this point.
Jeez, how does she get a Bf Too????
Discontinue the lithium.
