What is the absolute strangest thing that's ever happened to you?
>>41006242I had a dream where I met something important there's a greentext out there about it.
Huffing gas. I miss the feeling but like... I also think it made me slightly retarded? I want to do it again but I'm scared to. One because I've seen it can kill you isntantly but two, I'm really scared about what happens to my mind. I don't know what I'm seeing? I see it and then I forget instantly, like I'm accessing the guts of the universe, and all multiple realities at once.
>>41006292Literally just brain damage anon. That's not a higher-plane drug
>>41006242One day almost 12 years ago I spent the whole day working. At the end of the day when I left for home, what I thought was a step out the door became a step back into the office. The daylight coming through the windows went from evening time to morning. The time on the wall clock, my wrist watch and my phone all said 9AM when I knew that I had spent the whole day working on an account and the time read 6PM when I checked before. It was strange and scary and I still don't know what happened. For months afterward I questioned my sanity. It hasn't happened again since, but I still think about that day regularly.
>>41006368Did you have to do the same work again?
>>41006626Yes, but the second time around I already knew the shorter way around certain issues. What's funny is that the exhaustion I had felt from the first progression of that day was gone when the second progression started.
>>41006714sounds like you accidentally imagined the day perfectly in advance so well that you got fully immersed. basically like an accidental resonance with a an alternate reality?
>>41006803I don’t think I imagined it. But I have no explanation.
An unbelievably gorgeous girl like 11/10 at a coffee shop spoke to me telepathically and said "I love you", I thought I was going insane because that is not normal, started to freak out and my friends asked me what's wrong so I said "I gotta go I am not feeling well" and she just got up and very quickly and frantically ran to me and gave me the warmest most strongest hug, my friends all saw it and they could not explain, it lasted like 2 whole minutes. nobody could understand why it happened. She whispered "I am you, you sent me, I am from you, please love yourself" she gave me kisses, paid her bill and walked out winking and smiling at me, and I never saw her again. I stopped smoking, drinking and everything else after that. Life dramatically improved
My mother, sister and I ask have birthdays the same week, two days apart each. One year, the birthdays fell on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and my aunt called on Monday for my mum's birthday to say hi and wish her a happy birthday then asked to speak to me and my sister to do the same. >I'm going into surgery tomorrow, so I might not be able to call you and your sister on your birthdays, okay? She told my sister the same thing. Next day came and went.My birthday came and went. The day between my and my sister's birthdays, we got another call. From a different aunt. The aunt who called had died that morning. My mother was a wreck. >we just talked to her on Monday for my birthday! Puzzled, my other aunt told my mother that it was impossible as she'd been in a coma since Saturday.This was before cellular phones were everywhere so she couldn't have woken up just long enough to give us a ring then go back to being comatose and I didn't she could've made an international call from a hospital bed, anyway (we lived on a different continent at the time).Who the fuck did we all talk to?
>>41006242Shadow person in my peripheral vision lurking in the doorways of the house and zipping sideways behind the doorframe when I moved my eyes to look directly at it
>>41006242Off the top of my head, I saw a half naked man jogging backwards holding a can of coke from the bottom in his fore palm, braced between his upright fingers and thumb. Not so dissimilar from the cover art of Iratus: Lord of the dead, if his fingers were extended. This occured on a back street behind a Walmart and a Sam's club.
>>41006880I used to carry a notebook to jot random things into as the mood struck. I was a mallrat kid at the time and was sitting with friends at the food court when a girl none of us knew came up to our table looking incredibly upset and in tears, took my pen and wrote into my notebook>my uncle diedShe did this in complete silence then walked away. When I got home, I was told my uncle had committed suicide. I didn't show my parents the notebook but the friends who were there when it happened confirm that I didn't dream this up, that some weird, crying girl wrote that into my book.
>>41006323how can you tell the difference?
>>41006941World shaking revelations tend to be memorable.The false feeling of revelation is only temporaryAlso chemistry
Took too much ketamine and went to hell, after that I saw shadow people in dark corners for a couple months , couldn't even go outside when it was dark and slept (barely) with the lights on.
>>41007183Greentext now. How does it look like?
>>41007183shadow people isn't a strange thing or dogman a lot of people around me have both heard and seen them but i have only heard dogman and have seen the shadow people they havent appeared to me since i called on the name of JesusI have seen ghastly apparitions while on drugs in the past but nowadays i dont do any drugs the appeal was lost somewhere along the way
A very popular and well liked guy called Chris in my home town was killed in a car accident, there were a couple of hundred people at his funeral. Then this other guy, Glen, started coming down to the pub where everyone hung out and he was just like him, had all the same mannerisms, same hair, similar clothes, everything. Loads of people were freaked out by it especially Chris's used to be girlfriend, it really was quite spooky.
>>41006927Important question: was he half naked from the waist up or down? Dick flopping around or not?
>>41006242I don't even fkn knoowww, dude! Lottsa shit.
>>41007245My spirit was flying at high speed by all the other damned souls, I couldn't see anything but I just felt that I was passing by them and felt their pain, then I got to my place and was in my human form, I was tied to a chair and around me was just 4 tight walls and a wheel like picrel, no demons or any instructions on what to do but I knew it was hell and I was sure that I would stay there forever, no idea of how much time I've spent there either. Initially I refused to turn the wheel but eventually started doing it because there was really nothing else to do, then at some point I was dissolved into particles and returned to my real body, my buddies told me I just passed out for 2-3 minutes.
That 4 years I was under investigation for murder
>>41006242A woman astrally projected into my room at 4:17 and started a whole tirade that I didnt even bother listening to so I turned around and slept onwards. The strangest thing was that nothing they said made any logical sense whatsoever
>>41006242I almost forgot to take my daily dose
>>41006858Unironically could be a mini stroke
>>41006368>>41006714I had something like this happen once, tho way less severe and also kind of the opposite direction: when I was in highschool I had this after school job with a janitorial firm cleaning this state office building; one night I was going through it doing my vacuuming, then I turn a corner and suddenly I'm in a completely different part of the floor (I had a relatively set path i would do), like as if the track skipped without time passing or the requisite interim work having been done. It only happened once but I've never been able to come up with any sort of meaningful explanation
I was sleeping at my gfs place and had a weird "dream" or even sleep paralysis experience. I woke up and saw a little black alien/goblin creature at the foot of the bed walking around to my gf's side. While it rounded the foot of the bed, I shot up, and tried to shake my gf awake. I remember getting out a couple syllables of her name and grabbing her shoulder, but everything went "heavy" ( I have no better way to put it) and I passed out. Like when you're really fatigued and you finally shut your eyes. We woke up the next day, nothing strange. I was lucid dreaming a lot at that time and it really didn't seem like a dream (no movement impairment; shooting my arm to her shoulder didn't have the airy punch feeling like I usually have). The figure reminded me of descriptions of sleep paralysis demons, but i still had full range of motion prior to being knocked out.
>>41007005>World shaking revelations tend to be memorableNot really, I've taken hallucinogens more times than I could begin to count and very rarely do your revelations stick with you on a level you can articulate after. The feeling, the sense of it can last for weeks and months and you absolutely can gain some insights from it to take with you, but the "big revelations" you get are next to impossible to explain on a higher level. You're right though, huffing gas is just killing brain cells and op is getting nothing out of it more than that
>>41007547Exactly, spiritual experiences under psychedelics are meant to be experienced in the moment without putting much thought into them, the more you try to grasp it the more it slips away.
>>41006292Other anon is retarded, huffing gas is like a reality warping Time Machine in a can. Nothing is actually real until you see it on gas. My goto was washing out a bag of chips and pumping some hand sanitizer into it, secure it on a good ol’ can of axe or old spice if you’re feeling fancy, then straight hitting it through a tshirt 4-8 layers for best effect. Nothing makes you lifted like the gas, never a bad trip, death threats are all lies, only way to die is to literally not breathe, which is prostrats move. Lace em up, lace em up, lace em up, lace em, blue suede shoes stay crispy like bacon. I was born in a crossfire hurricaneAnd I howled at the morning drivin' rainBut it's all right now, in fact it's a gasBut it's all right, I'm jumpin' jack flashIt's a gas, gas, gasBreathe it inI won’t let you goOxygen is a hallucinogen btw
>>41006906I can’t even talk about birthdays anon. https://youtu.be/tyYP8G2wc_s
>>41006242Everything. https://youtu.be/HQHdqbJQMrchttps://youtu.be/r6FNB2Hy5j8https://youtu.be/AgHaGrZkkv4
>>41006242thanks
>>41007547>>41007551Spiritual experiences under psychedelics are false
>>41006242I don't believe we repress memories like you see in movies but I do think your brain can choose to stop writing new ones if it's under too much stress and I think mine did when I saw something I wasn't supposed to see. >be me, maybe 14-15 years old>walking through wooded area with my friend, shortcut to where we were going>autumn/winter in upper midwest US so no leaves, could see for a good distance ahead>just talking and kicking sticks >one of us spotted something fairly large buried under some brush, large animal/human/small bear sized>I remember walking towards it joking what we thought it was>sort of remember looking down at it but can't see in my mind what it was, just looks like a black lump or canvas or something >completely black out>come to maybe 5-10 minutes later, we're at the edge of the woods some 500 meters away now sitting on a fallen tree >both of us sobbing>calm ourselves down without saying a word, eventually get up and walk to our friends house>the rest of the day we're both just sad, I have no idea why though and too afraid to ask>friend and I had a major falling out years later and have no way of finding him anymore to ask what we saw I couldn't begin to tell you what I think we saw. I've considered maybe a body, something paranormal, or maybe nothing at all and we were crying for a different reason. But I can't explain the missing time between what we walked up on and being a quarter mile away crying uncontrollably. I don't know if he remembers but I was always terrified to ask him when we were kids and we never brought it up, we haven't spoken in over a decade now and I'm not willing to reach out to him anymore and have no real way of finding him. I avoided those woods for a few weeks before mustering the courage to walk through again, never saw any signs of what we saw before and nothing weird ever happened again.
>>41007630Wrong on many levels but if you feel that way, I won't argue against it. I've had profound experiences on hallucinogens that have changed the way I think as a man. If someone had the experiences I did without hallucinogens, I would never argue they weren't as valid as my own
>>41007643You don't think spiritual revelations experienced without the use of mind-altering drugs are more valid than with them?
>>41007669Is a heartfelt conversation experienced with a loved one less valid over a couple glasses of wine? Your brain is chemicals, constantly changing. Taking some externally will kill you, others will do nothing, other will enlighten you to things you may not have accepted before. No, I don't think they're more or less valid. Just different
>>41007669Psychedelics can help a regular man experience what an enlightened person does without, It's a tool and to deny it's powers is a very close-minded take.
>>41007688Good response however I'd ask are the rantings of a drunkard valid? Clearly there's a point where it's no longer you in control but the chemicals.>>41007771How can we know that what psychedelics produce is on the same level as what an enlightened person has had revealed to them? Drugs are very much a thing of the material world, and interact with our material brain in a material way. I can see the arguments for them, but in my opinion they are not to be trusted due to them being artificial.
>>41007398Who did you kill anon?
>>41007782To some degree, yes, I'd say someone's drunken ramblings are valid. There may be a point where you're no longer in control of your faculties but a drunk man's words often hold truth. And to them, it's as real as anything
>>41007373Would you share one of your stories?
>>41007361Waist up, he had short shorts on or the equivalent of, and running shoes of some kind. I remember he also looked older in terms of age
>>41006927>>41008103Running backwards is common among certain athletes, particularly boxers. Builds endurance and coordination. The shorts and running shoes would also back up this theory. The can of coke i got no explanation for though, just a thirsty boy I guess
>>410062423 onesFirst one I was a kid and I witnessed what looked like a pregnant man playing with a family in a playground by my grandparents' houseSecond one I had $10 vanish from my pocket out of nowhere when no one was next to meThird one I woke up covered in superfine shards of glass, but when I looked around, my windows were fine, and none of the old bottles on my shelf were damaged
This is such a great thread
>>41006242Each time you get black-out drunk, it’s pretty fucking strange. You just wake up somewhere & have zero recollection of how or when you got there
>>41008165Yeah and fuck that, I used to drink heavily and after every blackout I would wake up with soiled pants, a black eye and an empty wallet, thankfully I defeated that demon.
>>41006242As kids, me and a friend walked into the wilderness a few miles out from our village, it was still day time when we were walking across these sparsley wooded fields when suddenly a high pitched noise came from the sky that was was so loud it was painful, it made us drop to the ground covering our ears just writing in pain. We looked up at the sky and it was all distorted in fluctuating colours like when you place a magnet next to a screen. It lasted for like 10 seconds and everything went back to normal. Was one of the weirdest things I've ever experienced and still don't have an explanation for it.
>>41006242I have two. One I'm not entirely sure and the other I'm very positive.The first one I'm not sure of is that one day after a very brutal fight with my mom, I, for some reason, shut myself off in her room. I stayed there for about 10 minutes then poked my head out and said, "Mom?" Then, the voice of a man said my name outside of the hallway my mom's room was in, so I couldn't see anybody. It scared the shit out of me because my dad wasn't home. I went back into my mom's bedroom and waited for her to come get me eventually. I'm still notnsure whether I just heard my mom's voice incorrectly but it clearly sounded like a man's voice.The other one I'm very sure happened but it was very weird and hasn't happened to me since. I was in my cousin's house and I was having trouble sleeping. At one point, I'm staring out a big window she has, looking at the moon. In a split second, the moon turned into the sun and I "woke" up to daylight. When I checked the time, several hours had gone by. I felt a bit tired but it also felt like I had slept well enough. Weird shit.
>>41007493That could've just been a dream. When I was lucid dreaming this type of thing would happen as well. Where it would feel like sleep paralysis but when I woke up I realized it had been a ful lfledged dream, just that I had had the dream as if I were still in my bed.
>>41006937What the absolute fuck.>>41006906Something not-too-similar happened to my late grandma. But I might be remembering incorrectly. Basically, my grandma received a call from my greatgrandma (her mom) very late at night where she repeated her name like 3 times. However, when my grandma in a panic started asking questions my great-g did not respond with anything else. Anyways, my greatgrandma had died about a week before that call and I don't think there was anybody in our family that fucked up to make a "prank" call like that and imitate my greatgrandma's voice that well.
>>41006242My experiences may be pretty mild compared to others but here's a summary of them>I was about 8 or 9 years old, laying in bed, and the lights randomly switched on somehow on their own>A few weeks ago, I was meditating and had two vivid experiences where I saw a woman's face, although i wasn't completely sure of the gender. I think she or he was wearing a rob, and they had white glowing eyes, with white charged smoke coming from them>this shocked me and i snapped out of it>another meditation session i was sitting there then i saw the face of an indian woman she had an attractive face. It was a sort of bluish white energy outline of a face.>during this same session i saw a white/bluish glowing hand reach out from the right side of my closed eye visual fieldThat's pretty much it.
My whole life has been weird. Ive always been a target for suspicion and scapegoating. People don't trust me intuitively i think, i don't know why. There's stories and myths about me that i haven't heard but i know exist. My childhood friend has lost his mind and believes im the devil basically. I've seen aliens, ufos, hatman and the hag in the same dream, sleep paralysis, awoken by a ghost or spirit a few times, seen machine elves in a dream and other weird dreams. One time i got lost in quite a simple and familiar forest and found myself in a different place i wasn't supposed to be in. I mean I live a normal everyday life but im not getting anywhere, its all so heavy on me. This feeling
>>41008462>>41008416Yeah i saw the face of Kali once in a few dream. She was just looking at me
>>41006368it's called a hard day's work zoomer, fucking kek
I had a girlfriend once
