To ask your "glitch in the matrix" moment?

[bloomingheck1]

Hello,

I had a glitch in the matrix last night whilst dying my hair, I took the nozzle off the bottle and put it on the sink and then I mixed the dye etc and when I went to get the nozzle it was gone, I moved everything off the sink, looked on the floor but it was gone so I managed without and then once the hair dye was on I found the nozzle on the sink on top of something I'd moved and I swear it wasn't there before! Not a major event but it was a bit weird.

Do you have any glitch in the matrix stories? (Basically unexplained events)

@Mycatsgoldtooth

On my way to my first day at a new job. Realised I got on the train and it did not stop at my station. Panic Phone call to DH and said the only way I’ll make it on time is if this train breaks down this second as we were approaching the station I needed. Train juddered to a halt as I said it. Announcement saying we all had to get off as there was a fault on the train. People around me looking at me like I was a witch. Not a glitch but very weird moment. I made it in time to the job and was very happy there for five years

I have one similar.

My mum and I (both of us have these kinds of premonitions although neither of us are superstitious etc.

We were on hol staying in a house in the middle of nowhere. It was pitch black outside & we were taking advantage of the clear sky to look at the stars. After a while a car came along the road at a normal speed and my mum said 'what you do if that car came to a halt/came up here'. At that exact moment the car screeched to a halt. We ran screaming inside and bolted all the doors

[quote TotallyFineToday]@IntermittentParps I had exactly that same experience not that long ago. The same person passing, on the opposite side of the road passing twice in the same direction.
It was very confusing as I don’t drink, smoke or have lack of sleep and I am pretty lucid in my everyday life. Very strange [/quote]
Glad it's not just me!

@VinylCafe we had this, they had been stuck for years in a duvet cover 🤦‍♀️

Many years ago I was driving through a town near Windsor. (East Eton)
There were many armoured tanks and armed troops, soldiers on the High Street. Everyone was ushered off the street and shops emptied as panic filled the air.
I didn’t know what was happening so put on the car radio news. Nothing mentioned. National news, still nothing. I waited till the local paper came. Nothing mentioned. Thankfully my family were with me to witness. Nothing was ever mentioned. Hush hush! Perhaps a security issue.
It did happen, honestly.

A couple of years ago my DM gave me my Christmas card. I opened it on the train coming home from visiting her. When I got home I couldn't find the card anywhere to put up. I knew I'd definitely put it back in my bag. Sadly a few months later my DM past away. The following Christmas I was really sad that I wouldn't be getting a card from DM that year and so wished I'd not lost the years before.
Not long after I went into the bedroom and there in the middle of the bed was the Christmas card my DM had given me the year before.
I was so pleased and actually thanked her. It was a very odd feeling.

@TwoLeftSocksWithHoles

There was a party that didn't happen and a Prime Minister didn't attend it, and then a bit later it turned out that the party had happened after all AND the Prime Minister had attended it but he hadn't realised that he had. Spooky.

@StrychnineInTheSandwiches

Clearly Borrowers in these homes, gathering up things as soon as they're set down.

This is exactly what I was thinking!

Love these and placemaking to read later

love this thread!

I had a glitch in the matrix behind the sofa in my old flat.
One Saturday afternoon I decided to vacuum behind the sofa. I felt hot while doing it so took off my jumper. In taking off my jumper, my glasses caught in it and the plastic thread holding one lens in ( metal half frames) snapped.
Fortunately I fairly close to a major shopping centre where a Boots opticians was working into the evening.
I had to get there quickly before it shut at 7:00pm so forked out for a taxi ( as couldn't drive cos glasses broken)
I handed over my glasses for repair at Boots thankful that I had just got there in time. Then the alarm went off requiring an evacuation of the whole shopping centre. They wanted me to leave Boots but when I explained I was waiting on my glasses repair they evacuated me with staff, first to their "tea room" and then outside the rear of the centre.
The kind optician did stay late to fix my glasses once we were allowed back in but I have been early of vacuuming behind sofas ever since!

[quote applecrumbleforteaagain]@VinylCafe we had this, they had been stuck for years in a duvet cover 🤦‍♀️[/quote]

Haha! We didn't have duvets then and it was 7 years after the socks went missing that they reappeared. We didn't have a lot of bed linens then so I can't imagine they would be caught up in pillowcases and not noticed.

We have our electric meter on the outside of our house so it's accessible for meter readers. They ask you to send readings anyway so my DH and I used to do this, one or other of us, using a special key to open it. Until one day the key wouldn't work. We both knew how the mechanism worked , casually agreeing it was a lever, ie no suggestion from either of us to influence the other. We tried everything to open it, WD40 to brute force, to no avail. It was stuck for over a year and because of lockdown I couldn't get anyone to fix it. Anyway, end of last summer I thought I'd try it again and lo and behold, it opened easily and smoothly on the first try. Not a lever but a little catch mechanism. Got DH to look at it and we were both gobsmacked. How? Honest to god, I'd have sworn on my own life it was a lever.

The night before a family holiday we went into mass panic because there were 3 passports on the table - mine, my mum's, and my brother's who wasn't coming with us. My best friend was there as she was coming with us but had her passport in her bag. Couldn't find my dad's anywhere. He even drove to the bank and shops he'd been at during the day and was looking through the bank windows to see if he'd dropped it on the floor etc. Came back and my mum started phoning the tour operator to postpone/cancel the holiday. Sitting at the table I opened the 3 passports - mine, my mum's and my dad's. All four of us were absolutely mindblown and can't explain it to this day.

Got some Pierre Cardin trainers...I was sooo thrilled with them coz I'd never had brand things and even though they're a "naff" brand to many, they meant the world to me. I'd wash them every few days and dry them by the Rayburn (Aga style range). One day I put them in the warming oven to dry and they completely disappeared. Maybe they vaporised but there was no smell/residue. Can't believe my parents did it because they had paid for them! Maybe a thief with a very specific target. Never got over it

I'd been with my first serious boyfriend for a month texting daily (early 00s so mobiles were new) then his number changed by one digit but remained saved as the same name. It was so bizarre - he denied having changed anything and I had all the old messages with the previous number (and i'd memorised it because still mostly used landlines) but he was really evasive/in denial about it...never understood that.

My whole life I have always lost time without explanation. Aged about 10 I used to walk home from school on my own, it was a straightforward 20 minute walk at normal speed, but at least once a month I would find it has taken me about 45 minutes or so, enough time to walk to and from school. I hadn't dawdled and could never work out how it happened. The strangest part was my mum would never act like I was late home either, it was like I was exactly on time.

At second school I used to miss whole lessons. No recollection of being in them at all. One moment it was 11am and the next it was lunchtime but in the blink of an eye. Maybe I was just an accomplished daydreamer.

Always, at least once a week, think of a random actor, film or song and then turn the TV or radio on and that person will there. On Sunday "Steve McQueen" just popped into my head and then 10 mins later turned the TV on and Steve McQueen was on in The Towering Inferno. This morning I thought of an Erasure song I haven't heard since the 90s and it came on the radio on the way to work. Always getting déjà vu as well - it really gets to me not being able to work out why I remember something that has just happened.

But the scariest thing I've ever had happen to me was just pure coincidence...arrived home at night, turned the car engine off and all the lights in the street went out in a powercut at the exact same time. Even turned the engine back on in case it had been me that did it!

@Yaya26 Had Phil died recently? Well at the time I did wonder that, but I am sure we would have been informed at work if he had died. I will have to ask someone if they know of his well-being when I am back in on Monday.

I had a perfume bottle with a very large glass stopper on my bedside table. One morning I dropped the stopper, heard it hit the wooden floor but it was nowhere to be seen. No cracks in the floor for it to have fallen through, no pet to have carried it elsewhere etc. Partner and I 'walked the grid' like forensic pathologists...nothing. I lived in the house for several more years and the stopper never reappeared.

I “dreamt” my sons, years before they were born. I clearly saw two boys, playing in a grassy front garden, one with red hair & one with brown hair. They were playing “tag.”

This came true. Both boys, exact same colourings & features as in my dream all those years ago

I've known I was going to win things before I did.

I saw an add in the weekend paper that DFS were running an open evening with a well known architect speaking and a raffle for a free couch. I just knew if I went I'd win the couch. Got to the door, my lucky number was on the ticket I was given and we had a lovely evening. As the prizes were being called, the person who won before the couch was announced had the same Surname as me which was quite unusual and next thing out popped my ticket and I won it,

I was listening to the radio and the end of week prize we a trip to NY. Again I knew if I entered I'd win the prize. I texted and got on the show on day 2. It was 2 people head to head each day, then the daily winners went in a hat and first out won the trip. Again, I just knew it was going to be me. All week I listened and had one other I'd have liked win it if I didn't. But it was my name that came out.

I've entered and won loads of weekends away etc but these two I knew I had in the bag which was why I entered those draws.

For over 3yrs I used to volunteer on a Saturday to take an elderly lady out. She was 92 but other than sight issues she was well. One night I had a dream we were in her living room and she asked me to follow her into the next room where there was an empty coffin, and she pointed at it. When I woke I told my husband how realistic it was and couldn’t shake the bad feeling. I was on the train to work and had a call to say she had been taken into hospital, she died later that day.

I think our brains are super powerful, more than we can possibly imagine & we can manifest our reality!! Apparently we only use about 20% or something like that, of our total brain capacity so there’s got to be more potential locked in there than we currently realise

The bloody cheese grater. Couldn’t find it anywhere (one of the ikea ones that catches the cheese in a pot) me and DP emptied every drawer and cupboard. Gave up and a week later bought a new one and left it on the side. Went to put it away later on and the old one was next to it on the side.

Years ago, I had a dream that a plane had crashed onto the village in which I lived, demolishing several houses and killing a lot of people. The dream was very vivid and I was extremely relieved when I woke up and realised it was a dream. The next day the Lockerbie bombing happened. I can still visualise the scene in my dream to this day.

@WorstXmasEver

Omg this thread is great.

Not really a matrix thing but still spooky, when my wife was having a emergency caesarean & I had no idea what was going on, I was left in a room in the hospital & I noticed that the hands on the clock on the wall was just spinning around like crazy. I got a video of it.

Some clocks are radio controlled. You can't change them manually with a little dial in the back, they have to be reset from some central place (not sure exactly how they work). We had them at one school I worked in. After the clocks went back, the hands would spin to get to the new right time. Perhaps this clock was malfunctioning.

I had a glass vase that had been a gift from my late mother. It was on the mantelpiece. We went out one day and came back to find the top had broken away from the heavy base. The base was still in the right place, the top was standing upright next to it. It was similar to this vase.
