Re: Have You Ever Suspected You Died and Woke Up in A Parallel Dimension?
I have a vivid detailed memory of riding in the back of the car as a kid, leaning on the door; when suddenly it opens and I grab onto the door handle and try to run along the car, but slip. Must have been going 40+. I asked my mom about it and she has no recollection of the event. I swear it happened to this day.

Re: Have You Ever Suspected You Died and Woke Up in A Parallel Dimension?
Every night I die a "mini death" and traverse to another dimension/universe. I see (more like sense) people I know here and now, but they are just a little different. I go to places that I know in the here and now, but they too are just a little different. When I get tired of being *there*, in my dream I tell myself to "go", and I will feel myself ascending (that it the only way I can describe it) back into my body and wake up in bed.
 Quoting: Too Dark Park


Wow!!! I thought I was the only one...almost made a thread too!

Same here...also the places are similar (although always seem to be further south than my home location) but not quite the same. Sometimes there in my hometown, but its always different...like a parallel universe wherea nuke went off, or we're under oppressive rule...can't pinpoint it, but its a darker more sober world...and the sun never seems to be completely out.

Possibly it may have happened, but I've never shown up 10 to 15 years younger then I once was.
 Quoting: Ryan Cawdor


Oddly enough, I have... At least I believe I have... I remember waking up in the middle of Jr. High School (not one of the more pleasant times of my life, mind you) remembering and knowing what was about to happen... I had a moment like a disorienting reality shift in the middle of the school day...in English class-- The "shift" was almost like a light-headedness, feeling like swimming in reality's water or something. Then I could remember things that were about to happen. And I remember perceiving that day that it was like I had jumped back many years in my life after having lived many more years ahead before... and I couldn't remember them anymore... like my memory couldn't hold what I knew I once knew.

And the memories faded with the jaunt, and I lived into my 13-year-old self again... with some memories of the future sort of half-existing like a dream in my consciousness. Odd.

I do think I jumped into a quantum reality with a younger version of myself 17-18 years ago...

Re: Have You Ever Suspected You Died and Woke Up in A Parallel Dimension?
Sometimes dreams are you projecting or possessing a parallel version of yourself. If you have a dream where you get killed, the person that died was a parallel copy of you. It is also possible when a person "dreams" of dying, they're recalling previous life where they didn't make it.

Stephen King has a technique that allows his body to shut down to the point of comatose. From there he projects into parallel realities and explores different worlds. He comes from a long line of Witches/Warlocks who studied these arcane methods of transporting from the mind into other realities.

Here is another thing to think deeply about! We are time travelling as we exist through space (present). The future is just a parallel version of ourselves. You could say that we literally are parallel experts because our future is constantly having us move through it by the present. This means the body and mind are primed for parallel experiences, it is just a matter of "tweaking" the body to experience it in different alternate eras.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 53624030

...
I always wondered where King got his trippy ideas from. This experientially confirms a few things for me...

Re: Have You Ever Suspected You Died and Woke Up in A Parallel Dimension?
I was sucked under a pickup that I was attempting exit in a flash flood in NM late one night, I became hopelessly trapped under the truck and totally submersed. I had a NDE (and it was not asphyxiation, I know what that feels like, and this was completely different)

Anyway, suddenly and inexplicably I was free of the truck, and I was floating down the rain swollen creek gasping for air (I remember panic and struggling under the truck, but I don't remember getting free of the truck), I grabbed a fence that was stretched across the creek and pulled myself out.

That night, soaking wet, in 38 degree weather with rain pouring down, I had to walk four miles over a mountain to the nearest house (because I couldn't cross the creek again), by the time I arrived I was completely hypothermic and kindof loopy.

The next morning I felt sick from filthy water that had gotten into my sinus and that I had swallowed, but my neighbor took me home. When we arrived at where my pickup was half buried in sand, gravel, and debris I kept expecting to see myself, or part of myself sticking out from under the truck.

For a long time I really felt like I had died under that truck, it felt like a doubling in my mind, very strange and very disconcerting.

Instead of being happy that I was alive I fell into the a fairly dark depression for a few month.

It's very hard to explain, because everything around me was the same, and I was quite alive, but it felt wrong in a way, because part of me just knew that I was dead...

I've related this story in relation to NDE's before, but never in reference to parallel universes. To this point my wife was the only person who knew about the "doubling" feeling I had, or how part of me was absolutely sure I had died under that truck, or how I had passed through to a parallel universe, but that in fact is some existence I was very much dead and gone...
 Quoting: Saddletramp


I just want to mention that I am astonished and taken aback by all the responses to my thread. It's like this hit a chord with everyone, and suddenly we're all freely sharing an experience that everyone would think we're crazy to admit in real-life...That said, I wonder how much of the population has had experiences like ours, and if we're really kinda on to something . . .

What if sharing these experiences confirms quantum theory and in fact allows us to advance the understanding of human consciousness in the world?

I hope.

Re: Have You Ever Suspected You Died and Woke Up in A Parallel Dimension?
I also have a question for any of you still following this thread:

I want to take a poll/tally of how many people who experience these things are:

1) Christians
2) Non religious.
3) Atheists.
4) Other religions.

Is the experience the same or different? Is the interpretation of the experiences changed by your belief system? I have seen a theme among some people of faith in this thread that intrigues me such as Jesus (or look-alike?) pulling somebody from their death.

If, perhaps, all realities are possible and the future parallel universes you could embody are endless, then there may be hope for your future after all even if you don't feel like it right now. Looking to the goal and the best of what reality could bring you might just be the key to all this.

Re: Have You Ever Suspected You Died and Woke Up in A Parallel Dimension?
One night several years ago, I was doing ketamine with friends and I did way too much as i was on a combination of other drugs. Almost immediately after snorting i knew I overdosed and it was like the universe was telling me I was dying. I then watched myself fading out on the couch. All the sudden I came to in a dream world in my head convinced I had died and I watched the reconstruction of my reality.. Either I was trippin balls or I really died that night and now Im living in timeline where I didnt.

Re: Have You Ever Suspected You Died and Woke Up in A Parallel Dimension?
I was once riding a bicycle (20 years ago) in a country where most people got around by bicycle. I was stopped at a red light waiting to make a left turn. When the light turned green and we got our left turn signal, I and about 4 other bicyclists proceeded into the middle of the intersection to turn left. As we were doing that, everybody looked left because an 18-wheeler in the cross-street just ran a red light. It was honking at us and I remember some bicyclists next to me screaming because it was coming to fast and our ability to get out of the way, being in the middle of the intersection and on bikes, was limited.

The last memory I have was seeing the grill of the truck a couple feet from me and thinking "I ain't getting out of this one!" until...

Next frame in the memory sequence: I was still on my bike, peddling, having apparently completed my left turn and about 20 yards down the street I was turning on to. I had no memory at all of getting through the intersection. I looked back to see where the truck was, thinking that if it didn't hit me, it probably hit one of the other bicyclists. The truck was nowhere to be seen!

I then suspected that I was actually dead, but somehow viewing the scene from my "spirit" point of view. I vividly remember feeling tingly all over, like my body was full of electricity and I felt a tremendous sense of lightness, like my 130-lb body only weighed perhaps 50 lbs. It was like gravity was working differently.

I felt I had to prove to myself that I was still alive, so I started slapping my shoulders and face and I confirmed to myself that I still had a sense of touch. I wasn't quite convinced so I sang (which I never do, especially in public) and indeed I had the sense of hearing... basically at that point I knew I was still alive.

It wasn't until years later that I started learning about alternate timelines and universes and now I do think that on my initial timeline, I died and my family mourned my death. However, for some reason I was spared the normal death sequence (no tunnels, bright lights, etc.) and instead just jumped (or more like, transported and plopped down) into a slightly different version of my old reality - one in which there was no truck at that intersection.

Around 5 years later I got a strange desire to learn yoga and after several months of controlled breathing, mantra chanting, and silent meditation, I again experienced that lightness that I felt right after the "accident". I think it's because in yoga, one is shifting one's perception to the less physical realms, and in the accident I was involuntarily swept up into the same non-physical world but then promptly set back down again.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 53705757


Yet another amazing example of what we've been talking about. Thank you for sharing. I'm particularly intrigued by all the people who have had a perceived consciousness shift *after the event occurred, or have two separate memories of the same event happening at once...

This deserves to be studied on a University level if not by the government in (please non-secret) projects.

Re: Have You Ever Suspected You Died and Woke Up in A Parallel Dimension?
1) Haystack Rock,
On the North side of it I was seriously suppose to be sucked out by a massive rogue wave. It was winter storm conditions. The ocean torn-up by the aftermath of a passing winter's storm. [redacted]. Friends and I were looking in the tidal pools at low tide, and further out than we should have been. Somehow I got stuck out there.

A massive rogue wave came in and I managed to get up on a boulder. Everyone else was back on shore. Adults were freaking out!. I stood on the boulder surrounded by water. The water came to fill-up around and above the boulder. It got about shin-deep. Then the tide started to head out. I knew I was going to be swept-out with it.

The pull was strong, immense, and deadly. I did not want to die, and I knew if I let it sweep me out I would not get rescued. So, I do not think I awoke in a parallel dimension that time, however, I may have.

2) Punch Bowl Falls,
We were hiking the trail at nite; Idiots I was with. Suckered by youth and those around me. I had no plans to be there; Just along for the ride. A real last minute thing. No gear. They claimed to have all the gear needed. My gut let me know otherwise.

I fell for the opportunity to escape the home, telling myself I was doing a good deed by riding along. Upon arrival tension fills the car. The driver and passenger upfront realize just how dark the woods are at night. Tension mounts further as it resonates to the back seat. My mind tells me there is more to the problem. I will not let it go, as they proceed to b.s. the girls next to me and I.

Pushing the issue and out of fear, one of the girls eagerly tells me they do not have a torch, moonbeam. Actually she says, "they do not have a flashlight." We have not even parked the car yet, but are now approaching the closed parking area. So, foolishly and totally full of doo-doo the driver further acts as if there is, or at least maybe, a flashlight in trunk. Nope, no light. Guess what?

This knucklehead is convincing everyone he will make a torch to guide us, 6 people, through the trail along the face of a mountain with cliffs; Only not in so many words. I am fully like, "I am going to sleep in the car." One of the girls is like, "Yeah." Then she is convincing her friend to stay. Her "friend" talks, and therefor me, in to going for the hike. Along the way there was gunfire as to terrify us. It seems we are being shot by some woods people guarding what ever. We made it past that; But, a torch made of toilet-paper does not last. Burning the role does not put out much light. Not to mention it blinds everyone else. So, non-the-less sacrificing my personal space on the trail for the young ladies, I fell off the cliff but not all the way.

I may have slipped parallel dimensions at that point. There was dead space. Not death, but dead space and time. I was left with my left inner-thigh caught on the edge of the cliff, my complete body just held-up in a way that defies all reason, known physics at the time, possibly known physics of today, and total calm along with the recognition that I am hanging in pure darkness separated from the others at a distance that does not factor.

Re: Have You Ever Suspected You Died and Woke Up in A Parallel Dimension?
I always suspected that realities are linked together. However, I feel that this transition happens nightly. One day, the weather is sunny and warm. The next day, the weather is cold and cloudy almost dreamlike and the weather does not change. I have almost died at least 7 times and each time I believe I should have died. I fell off a 50 foot pier when I was a child and if it wasn't for a mysterious stranger, I would be sleeping with the fishes. I also remember pseudo memories that I died, but no one else remembers that from happening. These memories were so extremely vivid and I remember the pain. I figure I was jumping between realities in order to have déjà vu elements in my dreams. I agree that the realities seem to get worse with each jump almost as if I am living my worst fear. Perhaps, I am having an uncontrollable dream cycle that I invent as I go along. I see people that I swear were in TV shows that I watched some time ago as if realities were mixing roles between TV and my life.

Re: Have You Ever Suspected You Died and Woke Up in A Parallel Dimension?
I am going to share with you something that was revealed to me in a vision-quest I went on 5-6 years back... It was sort of an astral-projecting remote viewing'ish thing if you need a context, and it was influenced by cannabis... but here it is:

A person from the future told me that there is an upcoming concept called the "Law of Infinite Improbability." It very basically means that if something would cause a paradox (or, for example, destroy the whole world) infinitely improbable events will take place to prevent such a thing from happening, and can be tested to occur continuously no matter the improbability.

The universe is not prone to paradox; and therefore, completely unheard-of probabilities will take place to halt the paradox. (This is the theory.) Infinitely improbable things will happen to prevent the universe from collapsing on itself.

Perhaps, too, this is another way of looking at a parallel dimension or a specific timeline coming to its end. All our consciousness' would have to travel with it to another parallel reality and then become one with that reality... where ever-more improbable things happen on the existential edges of all reality.

Thus, we are living constantly on the cutting-edge of existence, and this is why God blasted a hole in the fabric of reality-- so we could experience something new and novel at all times. (And on all timelines.)

(I know, I was stoned at the time, but it was quite a revelation to me. I in fact am quite inspired on the influence of cannabis.)

Thus, The Law of Infinite Improbability is born in our dimension and time. Use it, abuse it, and test it. I believe it to be true and believe it follows quantum theory to the letter.

... which makes me wonder why the Hadron Collider broke down so many times in the beginning of its experiments given the concern about it causing world or universe-ending paradoxes -- or even creating a black hole that would swallow the Earth. If such a thing were possible with the Hadron Collider, then the Law of Infinite Improbability would theoretically prevent (at least in our common perception of shifting reality in this thread of time) anything from occurring that would ultimately destroy the Earth for all of us.

This also potentially explains why on an individual level so many of us feel the weight of improbability imprinted on our continued living.

Perhaps the Earth was destroyed (or you died) in some parallel reality; but then, in quantum physics aren't we always on the edge of reality? Aren't we always experiencing novel possibilities at the cutting edge of what could possibly be in the universe? :)

Goodnight.

-David Coleman, some guy

Yes. I don't like admitting this on the internets but I tried to kill myself about 10 years ago and ever since my life has been absolute Hell.

I has made me wonder.

I've asked close friends if they too have gone down this path, since we're on the same timeline or whatever. Nobody has fessed up yet and I've had quite a few weird looks.

Maybe it's my own personal punishment for going that route. Maybe it was the beginning of my waking process or whatever.

Whatever the case, it's wearing me VERY thin, and I'm not sure how much longer I can take it at this point.

I'm a Christian,and I've asked forgiveness, but I feel like the punishment never fucking ends.

Re: Have You Ever Suspected You Died and Woke Up in A Parallel Dimension?
Interesting thread, I can relate. Sometimes I think I fell through a time loop and not in the right place. Not with stand, I did have a strange experience. I had take a seizure
medication that I had a very bad reaction to. My husband said my tongue was swollen and I wasn't breathing. Anyway while he was working on me, I was somewhere else.

I was myself in a way, yet not myself. I was coming through a door and my older sister and my cousin were in the kitchen, I seemed to know the place but it was different than any I remember here. Any way, it took a while for me to understand I was in the wrong place, they were jumping my case for sure, about washing the dishes, they were doing other work, I just told them I had to go back to bed. That was when they said, I didn't need to go to bed, I was just lazy and didn't want to wash the dishes.

The whole time I knew that my husband, my Dad and brother and a sister was outside working on a room addition. Kind of like having two minds.

I finally got what was wrong, both my sister and cousin were at least 20 years younger than then and I remember my cousin was in the hospital. I became more myself, I told them I had to go to bed and sleep so I did, I woke up when I was breathing right in my own bed, husband on the phone talking to the doctor who was telling him what to do.

It was interesting, don't know what to make of it but I sure remember it, I will say they were the same there as they would be here if the they were cleaning and I said I wanted to go back to bed.

Funny thing I still remember the house, knowing my Dad was working on it, Dad had died a few years before.

I did not take the medication again. I always say, it might be strange but interesting, none the less.

Re: Have You Ever Suspected You Died and Woke Up in A Parallel Dimension?
This is a fairly complex subject and completely theoretical. But...in the truly wacky philosophical circles there are those that believe you can multiply and collapse yourself and dimensions themselves in a fixed or infinite universe scheme solely through your decisions.

The theory is that if you can change things significantly enough in the dimension you are party to, you can create and live in this new dimension while you also live in the dimension where you didn't make this decision. Cloning your essence into infinity. Conversely by refusing to act in an event that would significantly alter a dimension you can collapse dimensions and in doing so collapse that essence of yourself in that other dimension.

Possibly, this could make you stronger in metaphysical as well as physical ways...making you stronger, smarter, faster, etc. Depends on the attributes of the essence you absorb. One could purposely splinter these clone essences and dimensions and collapse them at perceived maturity to become something better than what they are in their relative dimension.

It's theory. Ultimately meaningless unless proven, but possibly valid if there are infinite dimensions.

Would you need horcruxes to do this, as, essentially good and wrong would be neutral at least in the practice of this art? :P LOL! Just kidding! (I'll be changing the world for good, thank you very much.)

On a serious note, this actually sounds like some cool theoretical thinking. Got any book titles I could check out?

Re: Have You Ever Suspected You Died and Woke Up in A Parallel Dimension?
All my life I've experienced the "two sets of the same memory" off and on. Like I was reliving the same life over again, but didn't remember until I'd experienced the same thing again. Your mind goes to store the memory or whatever, and then WHAM you realise the memory is already there. Of course, this happened less and less as I got older and can't remember the last time it happened. Which if you think about it; remembering that you'd lived things before would change your perspective/reactions and eventually change your life just enough that the "same memories twice" would get less and less until stopping because of the change in life.

Also, all my life has been filled with dreams of places, actual places that are just "slightly different". I've had instincts to look for places while out that just don't exist. I'm not sure where I'm looking for or why, but there's an instinct that something should be there, like there was a routine of where I was going to, but I don't remember where/what/why.n I can't explain, but it doesn't really happen anymore.

Actually gave me goosebumps. Did anything seem different when you got home? Was everything where you had left it?
 Quoting: Doomish


I don't remember anything being out of place in my dorm room (I was a student at the time), and everything seemed normal at school that I can remember.

However the incident did build my interest in "paranormal" topics, which I hadn't really paid much attention to before.

My current way of rationalizing or understanding the incident is that there were still experiences in this body which I signed up to have pre-birth, and at the time of the accident those experiences hadn't occurred yet, so some type of higher beings just picked me up and set me down in an environment where those experiences could occur.

Over the past 5 years I've gotten into Robert Monroe's material and the whole literature on out of body experiences. I often have the experience that when I'm trying to travel out of body that there are non-physical and benevolent beings who assist in getting the astral body to detach from the physical. Monroe also describes the existence of these beings.

I now suspect that it was precisely these sorts of beings that came to my assistance in the traffic accident as well as, possibly, the assistance of the other bicyclists who got in the way of that truck.

Yes.
There is a dimension where my family mourned my passing.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 674744


I'm convinced of this too. like there is one timeline where I didn't make it. I've had too many close calls. Don't know how I'm still alive, really.
 Quoting: eekers


That is weird, I have experienced this too.

I have also experienced being caught up in a very real atomic explosion in Sheffield in the Uk, then awoke in Australia.

Plus dying on my bedroom floor, experiencing a shift through a portal then awakening in a parallel reality that was brighter, clearer and friendlier than the previous one. It also had less people in it.

It is all very strange.

I feel like I've done silk screening in another life.

Weird I know. I've never done any silk screen printing in my life, but it just seems like I've done lots of it before so I keep thinking maybe in a different life if reincarnation exists.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 45550695


There's a great book called The Nature of Personal Reality. In it it says that our spirit expresses itself in many souls, all aspects of the same spirit, existing all at the same time (because time doesn't really exist as linear but everything is happening in the now). Think of yourself like the sun. The sun is your spirit. Each ray is a soul, all from the same spirit/sun. I think that my spirit has another soul who is a musician. I'm not but I FEEL like I am. It's really weird.
