To ask your "glitch in the matrix" moment?

My ex husband always had motorbikes. There is a code amongst bikers, apparently, that you mustn't pass a fellow biker who has broken down without offering to help. It was raining. He was on his way back home and the road was long and straight with high walls either side.He saw a biker by the side of the road but it was wet so he rode on. Hundred yards later his conscience got the better of him. He turned and went back. No biker, no bike. No one had passed him in either direction. He rode the other way to see if the biker was far ahead. No one. He is not a woooo person. It totally freaked him out

[quote ronswansonstache]@VinylCafe my DD's socks are always getting stuck in the rubber bit at the front of the drum. There's often one of a pair missing and I usually find them there, sopping wet as they don't get spun.

It's ALWAYS baby socks. Nothing else! [/quote]
When OH was still alive I used to often find lots of money, including the folding sort, in the rubber seal of the washing machine. Oddly I still check it though I always check my pockets before washing clothes.

A week ago, Driving down a long stretch of Country road, One other person in my car in the passenger seat. It was very dark outside, late at night. I have been driving this road twice a day for twenty years and know it like the back of my hand, There are NO turn offs on this road anywhere, Until you get to the farm that is at the end of the road, then becomes semi rural leading into the Village where I live.

Nobody was behind us on the road, There was one car in front of us, and had been for about two miles, No other cars on the road at all, Very rural area.

Passenger randomly screamed at me 'what the F*ck just happened'

The car in front of us was gone, it did not turn off anywhere, it did not leave the Road, it did not crash and end up in a field, it did not lift off and take flight, it was literally there and then it just wasn't, blaring headlights went along with it and turned to complete darkness.

I'm glad there was someone else there to see it too.

One of very many strange things that have happened to me, I could possibly write a book at this point!

I’ve thought of a few more. I posted up above about trying to conceive, and the pregnancy I spoke about has a dream connected to it. Much too early to know I was pregnant I had a very vivid dream that I was in a dinghy going down a river. The water currents got faster and faster, and sucked me into a whirlpool vortex, pulling me in and down to the side. I woke up feeling it was significant, and now think that was implantation and my subconscious knew. I also had water based dream at would have been implantation time with one of my other children. I googled it, and apparently it is a thing.

Slightly more matrix related now is that I had 2 miscarriages quite close together. My garden is very long, with lots of trees and when I was feeling low about it, but healing, I was in the garden just sitting, and there was something different at one point in the shape and colour of the trees. It was lit differently than I have seen it before or since, and a had a huge sense of peace, and knew without a doubt that was where my babies were. Close by, but moved on, like a gateway. It reminded me of another time that I saw something similar and that was when my dad died. In the room in the hospital, there was a window which I had looked out of many times. But after he died, the view was different. There was a gateway, like a small country 5 bar gate, lit again softly with an unusual glow. I knew that’s where he was going. I could even sort of see him approaching it with excited curiosity, wanting to explore beyond it. Maybe it was just grief, or my brain trying to cope, but I don’t think so.

One morning I woke up to find my watch had stopped during the night. I lived with my boyfriend at the time, and his had stopped too. At exactly the same time.

When I first met my now DH, we were teenagers. We chatted in a group of 3, me, him and a mutual friend. After him and the friend had gone a thought popped into my head, "I'm going to marry him".
Well, 1 year later we started dating, 7 years later we moved in together, 9 years later we had our first DC and got engaged and 11 years after first meeting and having that thought, we got married!

The picture was of his girlfriend and her sister.

My SIL and I don't look at all alike as adults, and I'm greatly older than my brother, who never saw me or our sister at those ages, nor has he seen any photos as they'd all gone by the time he was born.

Even the decor in the house was like ours. It's v v odd.

Loving these

I think I'm a bit psychic, I often get bad feelings just before something happens. When I was younger there were 2 distinct occasions when I remember bursting into years for no reason, then just after the phone ringing to tell us a family member had died. As I got older I remember a feeling of dread when my Mum told me my sister-in-law was pregnant. A few weeks later she had a miscarriage, she'd had 2 healthy babies before so no history to make anyone worry. Unfortunately I don't get feelings about good things, only bad.
My Mum and I regular phone each other at the same time, or just as we're thinking "oh I should phone".

My glitch in the matrix thing though is that through my time at uni I had an unconscious habit of humming the theme tune to The Archers. I've never really listened to The Archers then so I'm not sure why I hummed it and I wasn't aware, but it freaked my flat mates out as they realised I only ever did it at times when The Archers would be on (I couldn't even say when it was on.)
They decided I must be picking up radio waves through my fillings.... Except I don't have any. 😂

When I was about 11 I had a pet rabbit. We kept it in a rabbit hutch on the roof terrace belonging to our apartment, and I used to let it out to hop around.

One day I came up to see it and it was gone. Nowhere to be seen. Searched the hutch and the entire roof terrace. It hadn't been left out of the hutch without supervision but the only possible explanation was that it had got out and maybe slid down a drainpipe (the roof terrace itself was walled so no gaps).

About two weeks later it was back! Slightly injured. It's a complete mystery to me still. The apartments were in a forest so highly unlikely a neighbour found it and returned it.

My mum can't wear watches as they stop or go fast or slow on her.
My sister had this as a teenager- with wind-up watches; I'll have to ask her if it still happens. Maybe not with battery watches?

One evening last summer, I wanted an early night, so took the dog outside for a wee, but he wanted to play ball. We had a game for about ten minutes, then went inside. About 30 seconds later DH walked in through the same door, wondering where I'd been. Playing outside with the dog, I explained. No, he insisted, I was out there playing with the dog. You weren't there.
It's a standard small enclosed rectangle of lawn, nowhere to hide or not be seen. Only one dog, who refused to take sides on the matter.

Oh and once I saw a really weird multicoloured star pulsing in the sky for about ten minutes. It was really big compared to other stars, stuck in one spot in the sky and a weird colour just getting bigger and smaller on the spot. I had a really weird feeling watching it looks I was being watched back so I pulled the curtains and hid!

One halloween a good while back, I was coming back from a fancy dress party with friends and we passed the Golden Hind in Southwark. My friend suggested we climb up to the crows nest, which felt like an excellent idea at the time. We shimmied over the gate/ fencing and ran about on the deck. Before climbing the barrier I took off my ring which had a lot of sentimental value and put it in a zipped pocket/ purse for safe keeping.

Later in the taxi home I went to put it on again and couldn't find it. At home I had a better look and still couldn't see it. Through the week I kept going through my bag, clothes, laundry basket, pockets in search. I had given up and was feeling sad about losing it when I saw a glint on the floor right in front of me in the hallway and it was there. So odd. I had passed that spot so many times.

I had another weird ring situation. I threw a different ring across the room in frustration, realised I was being silly and went to retrieve it. Vanished! Searched and searched. When we had the room redecorated including taking up carpets, replacing radiators, I asked the decorators to keep an eye out but nothing. It entered another realm. Maybe with all the baby socks.

I once had a silver necklace with a little pendant on. I tried to put it on one day, but it became all knotted up. I fiddled with it for as long as I could, but it just seemed to get worse. I felt sad and put it back into its box.

A few weeks later I was going through the drawer and saw the box, so thought I'd try to sort the chain out once and for all. I opened the box and there was the necklace, no knots or tangles, all fine and ready to wear

This stuff happens to me all the time! A few examples:

When I was a teenager things used to just disappear in my room all the time and turn up again weeks later. But one time I put my bracelets on the shelf and in the morning one of them was gone. Totally disappeared and it never turned up.

In the same house but a different room when I was younger, I was regularly woken by either the sound of everything on my bookcase falling over (yet nothing actually fell), a really cold wind passing around the house and going through you, and once I was in bed and the bed went down and the covers tightened round me like when someone sits on your bed, but no one was there.

Also in that house, I was once the only person home, it was a big old house, detached, and suddenly there was a huge clatter from the kitchen like all the saucepans had somehow fallen over. I everybody plucked up courage to go look and... Nothing.

Everywhere I've ever lived I have stuff student disappear even when it's impossible. DH comments on it and thinks I'm spooky!

I also get gut feelings/premonitions. I've was to do with a community group I'm in. Some new leaders started and I immediately had the thought "they are going to take me off my duties". Later, they did in a really weird and nasty way (too putting to go into detail).

The horrible thing is my boss is leaving this month and her new deputy who hasn't started yet is going to take her role. As soon as I was told I had the same thought "she's going to get rid of me". I'm pretty sure that's going to happen.

I also break technology without doing anything. I send computers and mobile phones haywire, they glitch and break. Every place I've ever worked the IT department has got really frustrated as the computers I use have to be thrown away as they can't be fixed.

My mum can't wear watches as they stop or go fast or slow on her.

I have so many of these stories!

My mother and I also seem to share some slight telepathic link even though we are 80 miles apart. I could fill a book with the number of times where we have rung each other at exactly the same time (we don’t have regular calls, always random) and we have been listening to exactly the same song or cooking the same meal or just thinking about the same subject. Been like that all our lives.

Years back in my late teens I went to a seaside town with my then girlfriend, we weren’t drinking or anything but just had some fun in arcade then got a chippy and ate it outside. It was getting dark and we were feeling pretty full up after eating so thought we would head towards the sea and lie down on the grass verge beside it for a while to chill out. It was an extremely clear evening and we had a full view of all the stars in the sky. Then we saw this small light moving quickly across the sky . . . not fast enough to be a shooting star but definitely faster than a typical passenger aeroplane or helicopter.

I remember casually remarking that it must an RAF jet or something given it’s speed, and just as I finished the sentence, it stopped abruptly in the sky, waited 2-3 secs, then shot off again at a totally different angle. And the strange thing was, it didn’t accelerate as such; it just seemed to go from standstill to full speed instantly.

It was only afterwards as we tried to work out what it was that we realised there had been zero noise also, even though you would always hear something if a jet was overhead.

I’ve got loads of these sort of things and I love them. The one that comes to mind was recently. I was out for a walk with my son who’s 7 and my best friend, We weren’t talking just strolling along and I had come over really sick and headachey and I said to myself in my head, Ugh don’t feel great, I feel sick and my head hurts.

I looked down at my son and he looked at me and he said out loud I feel sick and my head hurts too mummy.

I looked at my friend to ask did I just say that out loud? And she looked puzzled and said you didn’t say anything! My son and I often think or feel the same thing and he tells me exactly what I was just thinking in my head. He’s my kindred spirit!

Some of these are giving me the chills!

Not as much any more, sometimes I ‘d just think of someone and then meet them in person.
Recently I bought a new rake for the garden. Whilst talking to my sister about it she said she knew exactly which one it was, without me describing it. She had been reading a gardening magazine that recommended the same rake. Same sister and I often think of each other before one of us ring.

Well that’s just freaky! I’m cooking tea whilst reading this thread and I find the oven is switched off at the wall. I berate the teenager and she looks at me like I’ve gone mental. Serve her tea, carry on cooking the quiche whilst still reading this thread, step into another room for 10 seconds and I come back and the oven is off at the wall again. WTAF. It’s a big thick heavy switch, not easily knocked!!

One is an obvious glitch in the Matrix. I was on the phone, standing on a street corner. I was there about 30 minutes. After a while, a man walked past with two boys, right to left, one boy wearing a red jumper and jumping along the road markings painted on the tarmac. About 5 minutes later, I swear, the exact same man and two boys walked past me, right to left, with the boy in red jumping on the road markings. I actually said at the time to the person on the phone that I'd just experienced a glitch.

The other time is similar to a pp. My husband and I had been trying to conceive for over 2 years. We'd had a miscarriage and each month was torture when my period came. One night we were, ahem, actually having sex and I just had a moment of absolute clarity and knew that we'd "made a baby". Two weeks' later I found out I was pregnant. I'd never had that feeling before, not even when conceiving the first time. And this time I actually got a baby and he's now 3.
