Mandela Effect/Parallel Dimension/Lucid dream/Hallucination?
I'm not even sure if I can explain this.

I'm retired now, and I spent my life working in IT, doing consulting projects. I worked at a lot places doing a lot of different things.

The thing is, I have a distinct memory of working at a place that doesn't exist. I can remember the boss, my cube, the people who worked there. I can remember the open Atrium and really cool cafeteria. It was a really laid back empowering type of place, and that was unusual because it was an insurance company. I can remember where it was and how to get there, but the streets I remember aren't in the suburban area where it is. I can't remember the name of the company. I remember it was a cool assignment and the people were nice to me while I was there.

And I also have a memory of a really cool bar that was in a part of town that I didn't go to often. The bar was across the street from a park that had a huge thing for kids to climb on with levels and tunnels. The bar was in old house with different levels. It was playing what was new wave style music, which was different back then from the disco music that was played everywhere. I remember going there a few times, and one time I took a friend (he is dead now, so I can't ask him about it). The bar was kind of upscale and had all these college people who were dressed in new wave styles and we danced a lot.

...but like the company...this bar doesn't exist and the park doesn't exist where I think it is.

I know that I never worked at this company in reality, but I swear that this memory is real as hell. In the same way, I am positive that I went to this bar...but I also know the bar doesn't exist.

I am curious is anyone is familiar with this type of phenomena.

The problem is that I know my resume. I know historically that I never worked at this place, but I feel like I did work there.

The bar I feel like it is real and I was there...but again I can't figure out where this park could have been in that part of town.

It is a very unsettling feeling because these seem like every other memory I have. but they are not from this reality.

I wouldn't use the word 'blame' but you're not wrong.

I have similar experiences the OP describes but not to the degree of the OP.

I have experienced very detailed dreams that seem like memories except I know they couldn't have happened. Sometimes i have dreamed these dreams several times. Other times, a dream comes with a history of its own.

I guess, around that time period, you might have experienced similar dreams. Some of the things that seem so vivid might have been things you saw in a different context and they became part of your dream.

Such as the bar might exist, but not in the place you recall. You went there with your friend, maybe he drove, and it was farther away than you remember. but your dream relocated the bar to a location more familiar to you.

I have done that in my own dreams, put a real thing in a different location. But, I figured out later what my subconscious did.

I don't smoke pot, so that is not what it is for me.

I just think dreams can be really detailed sometimes.

the weird thing is that i feel like the bar should be in a certain part of town. but when i go to that area, i can't find the park.

Re: Mandela Effect/Parallel Dimension/Lucid dream/Hallucination?
The other day I told a joke to my wife that my oldest son had told me before. He was in the room too, so I started by excusing myself for retelling his joke, but I thought it was so funny my wife should hear it too.

When I had told the joke, both my wife and my son laughed, and he assured me that he had never heard the joke before.

It is clear I dreamed he told me this joke.

This kind of thing happens all the time. Everything we experience in a dream is just as real to our minds as waking life. Most of the time we forget our dreams, and that's not a bug, it's a feature!

Because when we do remember our dream experiences we get this kind of jumbled memories and lose track of what was real and what wasn't.

One avid lucid dreamer advised anyone that wants to do lucid dreaming to only dream about people you don't know IRL, just to avoid the awkwardness of ascribing false memories to family and friends.

YOU:
"Remember when we were on vacation in Turkey and went scuba diving, that was a great time!"

FRIEND:
"WTF are you talking about, I've never done scuba diving, and I've never been to Turkey, with or without you!"

Awkward.

You aren’t alone. I believe multiple time weapons have been deployed. I have clocked 3 time events. 2 from 1 weapon and 1 from another weapon. I have also noticed that most people can not comprehend these events. My theory is that only very old souls can comprehend what’s occurred.

Re: Mandela Effect/Parallel Dimension/Lucid dream/Hallucination?
Most of my dreams feel more real than the waking world at this point. I've experienced living a parallel life with a very peculiar career working for a classified military program that dealt with paranormal science.

My role specifically, was discovering a way to clean the minds of people who had been subjected to supposedly "irreversible" methods of brainwashing as well as any deals/connections they had made with extradimensional entities (demons). This involved separating the higher and lower brain functions, copying the higher functioning patterns onto a computer linked to the brain by a neural interface, and then destroying the biological basis of that information. In brainwashing, this is simpler and only requires a massive controlled electromagnetic induced seizure of the target areas. The subject would be dependent on both biological/computer components to exist without impairment until we could filter and reconstruct the higher brain functions in newly grown tissues. We were using fetal stem cell biocomputers and/or partial new brain implantation. Some subjects required a wheelchair due to specific motor impairments as side effect. I remember someone using the term "Neural Heterodyning".

I was being a big asshole to one of the test subjects and laughed at him for now having the (biological) brain capacity of a nematode after the procedure. That subject was once my superior project manager (also an asshole), but had crossed one of the higher-ups and been reassigned as a guinea pig to serve as a warning to everyone else.

I helped build a Goetiaic computer that literally used demons as software. The demons we removed and trapped from the Neural Heterodyning process were able to be held within a quantum computer and made into "daemon" programs on the device. It gave us incredible processing power using multiple internal realities in parallel. We wanted to see if this could be done without the danger of using demons by recruiting mental space from simultaneous alternate human selves - essentially posessing people with alterate universe versions of themselves to create a multi-core spiritual OS.

We also were studying whether simulating a copy of someone's DNA would allow for entanglement to trap/manipulate a specific consciousness in silicon.
