To ask your "glitch in the matrix" moment?

I had a very vivid nightmare after watching Saw 2, really horrible. Towards the end of it, I was trying to escape, and I climbed up out of a manhole in the road, a few roads down from my house, only to be hit by a car. My last second was seeing this car come flying towards my face. It was so vivid and clear, I could remember the registration plate when I woke.

A few days later, I was walking home, got to the same spot I'd been hit in my dream. Was just starting to the cross the road when I realised that the car parked to my right was the same damn car, same exact reg, I froze for a second or two, in shock, which was when a completely different car jumped the lights from the other side and came flying past. If I hadn't have stopped, it would have hit me.

I love these

This is very outing if anyone I went to school with is on here…not exactly a glitch in the matrix but very very weird.

We went on a school trip to Stratford upon Avon whilst doing our A levels to see a play. We stayed in the Youth Hostel. The girls were in 1 room and the boys (including my boyfriend) were in 1 room. In the middle of the night I sneaked down to his dorm and spent the night there. The other girls locked the door behind me. Came back in the morning and in the middle of the floor was a large piece of card (which my friend had used the night before to sort out her contact lessons on) with a very detailed picture of all the girls sleeping in the dorm. I was also on the picture despite me not being in the room. We were the only people in the YH, nobody came into the room as it was still locked and non of the girls could possibly draw like that. Absolutely no clue how it got there or who could have done it.

Does anyone remember the thread about a woman in a flat who lost her ironing board?

I had a telephone clairvoyant session. The woman asked me why I was not going on holiday that year. I told her I was going to Italy, all booked and paid for in the next 6 weeks. She said you will not be going. I just laughed but 4 weeks later my husband had a heart attack and we had to cancel.

Made a sandwich, placed it on the table and let the cat out first... sat down and there was no sandwich.. or evidence that I made said sandwich.
I do have neurological problems but surely I didn't dream I spent ten minutes making a sandwich and if I did wtf was I doing in that time?
I definitely think we live in a matrix.

Most recently was 2 weeks ago when I woke up to see Jesus and the disciples at a table having the last supper, just by the side of my bed. I can only describe it as the weirdest thing and I felt like a loon telling my OH. A previous one was the whole room filled with brightly coloured moving lights - like looking into a starry night but coloured and sped up.

The other day I was talking about a car we had years ago which kept cutting out, at the most irritating times - like while driving through a car wash. We reminisced about what a terrible time we had with it. I haven't thought about it in years... we sold it long ago.

Two days later I received a letter from the manufacturer, with red edges around the envelope... issuing an urgent recall for that vehicle.
Only took them a decade to work out there was some dodgy cabling causing it to lose power.
The matrix is SLOW, but it gets there in the end.

This is a brilliant thread and I’m now gutted I have no experiences to contribute! Whilst some of these could just be coincidences some are much much more strange. I believe we cannot know how everything works in this world, and that’s a good thing. So much potential.

@BlackAmericanoNoSugar no nothing at all

I had 4 sterling silver teaspoons as a present. They are bit unusual as the have a heart engraved in the bowl part. Always kept them in the cutlery draw. A few months later I found five! Had kept the box and it said four. Where did the other one come from?

I've told this on here before. I had a strange experience a few years ago. Ill try and explain it.
I live in the middle of nowhere. I was heading back on a run towards my house. It was a lovely spring sunshine type day. I stopped to do some stretches and it was dead quiet. Not a sound from the sheep or birds. I looked at the hill my farm is on and I could see a big, white, modern office type complex. But it also seemed pretty natural too that it was there, like I'd always known it. I started to get really confused, couldn't get my bearings at all. Then a tractor started coming down the road behind me and it all went back to normal.

I have two really weird ones. Once when I was about 7 I was riding my bike up the hill on the pavement by our house. I could hear a car engine on a drive, the view was obscured by the fence and trees. I waited for ages and it didn't appear so I rode off. Suddenly the car reversed, I was about to be hit. Next thing I know I'm at the top of the road completely fine! No clue what happened.
The second is even spookier. I was about 13 and in secondary school. I was going home with my friends, we were chatting as we walked and I said goodbye. Next thing I know it was the following lunchtime the next day. I completely blanked out a whole day! I have no recollection of what happened. It freaked me out a lot. I told my Grandad and the same thing had happened to him as a boy when he was walking across the fields to school. (1940s). I swear these are true.

I told the owner who was checking us out, he didn't seem surprised. Just said "oh Room xx, there's always high jinks and jiggerypokery going on in that one!"

Spooky! And I think I’ll use the phrase "high jinks and jiggerypokery" as often as possible from now on!

One Christmas we were staying at a relatives house and I was given a high value gift card. A wonderful gift as money was tight. Unfortunately it went missing so I searched their house high and low looking for it, to no avail.

Back home, about 3 months later, it suddenly reappeared on a chest of drawers in my bedroom. Really weird but very welcome!

Another one…My walk home from work took me past a telephone box (this was a good while ago!). For several days running, the phone started ringing as I got to phone box. I thought about answering it but chickened out!

My Grandad had recently died, and about 6 weeks later we felt it would do my Nan some good to get out of the house and into the fresh air, so we arranged for the whole family to meet at Scotney Castle for a gentle walk. The morning we were due to go we arrived at my grandparents house to collect my Nan and she told me that that morning she had opened the wardrobe door and a photo had fallen out onto the carpet - it was a photo of her and Grandad at Scotney Castle.

[quote Lavender24]@VinylCafe I think you have a little house sprite that borrowed the socks and decided to return them when it realised you were leaving![/quote]

I've been thinking about this. I now wonder if I might have a personal sprite following me around as every time I put an item away in a "safe" place, the item disappears never to be found again. Every.time. The places I choose are usually in a drawer or on top of a wardrobe so not weird forgettable places.

About two years ago just before lockdown I lost a bracelet was convinced it had come off while doing the recycling.Emptied all my boxes no sign of it on Sunday my DH went for a walk and found it in one of his trainers absolutely bizarre.

When I was a teenager I left the house at 07:30am to walk to the bus stop as normal. I know it was 07:30am as my dad was watching the news and the regional weather had just come on. I walked my usual route, nothing strange happened. It should have taken me no more than 20 minutes to get to the bus stop. I arrived at the bus stop at 08:30am. I know it was 08:30am as my bus stop was outside the station and the tannoy was announcing the 08:33 train.

I still, to this day, have no idea where I lost 40 minutes. I was not ill, nothing bad happened, I didn't avoid any catastrophes by being late, no higher purpose for it. I was simply late for school.

I was in Liverpool with my ex and had just gone to meet my aunt and uncle. They had annoyed me. When I walked back through the streets to the car park, there was the weirdest eerie feeling I've ever experienced, as if there was no air, just tension. A homeless woman lunged at me, everyone was staring at us even though I wasn't doing anything weird, and there was a man walking a dog wearing a superman outfit and a top hat. It was the weirdest thing I've ever experienced, it was like entering a parallel universe.

I set off from home to go somewhere.
10 minute walk I had done loads of times. I went straight there but it took 30 minutes and I was late
I assumed my clock (pre mobiles) at home was wrong so checked it when I got home - it wasn’t
