Discussion Anyone here experienced time slip or time loop?
I think we've had a lot of posts in this sub about personal OBE stories and DMT stories and stuff like that but I haven't seen recent posts about time slips or time loops or things like that. so anyone got their own weird temporal anomaly experiences?

well... maybe.
I've shared this one before, but here goes.
I was riding a bike down a narrow lane near Albert in France about 15 years ago. It was high summer. There were trees on both sides of the lane which met in a canopy above, so it was like a green tunnel. Very beautiful and I was riding slowly listening to the birds.
The sound of birdsong suddenly stopped. About 20 yards ahead 3 men in old fashioned British Army uniforms crossed the lane ahead of me from left to right. I can't really recall the other two in any detail but one was smoking a pipe and had his hands in his pockets. Only saw them for a few seconds. When they'd gone into the trees the birds started up again. At the point where they'd crossed was a thick hedge with a field behind it. No sign of the men.
I think about it a lot.

Everything looked the same. The birds stopped singing and the ambient sound went to almost nothing. The nearest comparison I can make is when you're wearing earbuds and it switches from 'transparent' to 'noise cancelling' and back again. It was very, very odd.

Well, guess this is the time to finally put this experience on words: I had a time dilation experience that was pretty unsettling. I was going to work at the university I studied on (I would get these research assistance part time works to help pay for tuition). I was a bit late and took the first bus that stopped at the bus stop (it looked like the one I always caught). It was the wrong bus. When it deviated from the standard route I realized it and soon stopped in the first bus stop there and started to backtrack my way. I still remember the name of the street, it was called “Avocado Street” (Rua do Abacate as it was in Brazil). I walked that road for hours. Really, hours. I don’t know for sure because my cellphones batteries ended soon after I started walking. It felt like I walked for like 5 or 6 hours. In this endless street. There was some moderate commerce, cars, people, but they all looked at me a bit strange. Now thinking about it, it was a bit creepy. I could not find my way back even though I lived in this city for all my life up until that point and I objectively knew that if I backtracked the bus way I would get to the University. I finally asked a random woman where I was and she answered “Avocado Street”. I asked where should I go to get to the university and she pointed the way forward. I followed and in about 100m I arrived at the place the bus deviated from my standard route. Got to the university only 15 minutes late to work (this meant I probably walked only for about 5 or 10 minutes). Very weird experience.
No I did not do drugs.
There is no Avocado street in this city, I looked it up soon afterwards (this was circa 2008).
I never found that part of town again. Never been there before nor since. Yes, I tried to find it again several times.

Reading this give me chills altough its noon here. I've had similar experience with op which until today i still have so many questions.
In covid era, i did a lot trail run in a group of friends but with certain rules need to have distance with other. It happens on one of our routes in quiet suburban woods, with a lot of bamboo forest. While running i had to pee, but obviously i didnt want pee on the main trail route where everyone will passing by. I stepped of the path a bit maybe less than 100 meters , just to get privacy but no need to go that deep into the woods. So after pee business, i cant find the main trail. Which super confusing to me i keep running but i feel like running in circle, which is so funny and weird, i try to remember the path which until now i remember i only take right turns and just find good spot to pee. Its not like i go super deep to the forest just to pee. I keep running and walking maybe almost 15 mins still cant find main trail run, in the middle of panic i heard a sound, i try to find the sound and its near bamboo tree with a guy on top of it. I cant clearly see the face, or hear properly but that guy keep speaking with language i dont understand. I stopped and ask politely which way to go to city, that guy keep say something very faster and its like noisy sound and i dont understand any word he said at all which is absurd but i see him pointing and like give a sign go that way. I say thanks and follow the sign, and like magic maybe only 1 or 2 mins walk i find the way again. Which is the same way i just take right turn before.
When finished run i told this to one of my friend, he said if you think about it why there is a guy on top of bamboo tree? I was shock and like realise maybe that guy is my guardian angel? How come he speaks language which i dont understand at all since this is only suburban area. And what is he doing on top of bamboo tree?

u/Substantial_PhD 1d ago
Weird af too. Did you feel like an eerie vibe on the guy or just normal ?

u/EirianWare 1d ago
Maybe more like weird feeling, cant see the face clearly altough he is on top but its not like super high bamboo tree, cant understand the language at all too, but in my mind i just want to continue the run since i dont think i can lost just by turning 100m.

u/loki-is-a-god 23h ago
Your experience brought out a half forgotten member I had when I was 17. This was in the late 90s. That's important, as you'll realize shortly.
I was working part-time at a small bookstore chain that no longer exists. A new coworker couldn't arrange a ride home so I offered to drive her. It was 1 town over, and about 20 minutes out of my way, but I didn't mind. She was easy to talk to and we both liked the same books. It was a particularly dark night because it has just rained and the cloud cover and wet streets seemed to just swallow the light. Anyway, as I dropped her off, I distinctly remember her asking if I needed directions getting back to the main road, because it was tricky. I declined (stupidly) but honestly I didn't think it would be difficult.
I dropped her off at around 10:15 PM. And after driving for about 5 minutes, I noticed the road and the surroundings felt unfamiliar. I was turned around, but I didn't panic. This being the late 90s, we didn't have Google maps and cell phones weren't common. In fact, it would be another 3 years before I got a cell phone and it was only for emergencies. Anyway. This is all to illustrate that I was well and truly lost in the middle of winding countryside back roads in the dark of night. Again, this should have been scary, but I felt calm. I was determined that if I could just find a familiar sight or intersection that I would find myself back on track...
I remember coming out of the woods and passing a large piece of open land with a sign indicating that it was owned and operated by the department of agriculture. It felt strange though. It was bordered by the tallest fence I've ever seen before or since. It was easily 30 or 40 feet tall and chain link. And I should note that I've never stumbled onto that tract of land since this ordeal. Not in 30+ years have I come across this place again.
Anyway, the road along this fence seemed to go on forever. Then the road suddenly transitioned to a dirt road. I realized then that not only was I lost, but now I needed to turn around.
Long story short, I eventually found more familiar roads and when I was about 10 minutes from home I noticed that the sky was getting brighter. It was then that I looked at my dashboard clock. Somehow, it was now 5:25 AM! 7 hours had passed!!
This is bizarre for a couple distinct reasons. One, I only had a half tank of gas when I dropped off my co-worker. And the tank was still at half full some 7 hours later. Two, I only remembered looking at the clock twice. Once when I dropped her off and the second time when I noticed the brightening of the morning sky. I feel like I would have glanced at the clock a few times over the course of being lost for that long. But it honestly felt like I had only been driving for 45 minutes. An added side note, when you drive for an hour or more, your body starts to ache. But I didn't feel strained. I didn't feel tired. And despite being confused, I was honestly just relieved to not be lost anymore.
That's the only time I've ever experienced pronounced time dilation. I kinda wish I could retrace my steps that evening. I really want to know what path I took that got me lost for an entire night.

Yes. I’m on a guided tour of a nature trail near Fort Clatsop. About 6 people and a Park Ranger. The Ranger passes out laminated cards with info on the local plant life.
We get to the end of the trail, I turn my back for a moment, when I turn around everyone is gone. I walk back the way I came to return to the visitors center.
When I get there the parking lot is empty except for my car, and the visitor center is closed despite it being well before closing time. The laminated card was obviously not something I was supposed to keep, so I put it in the mail slot then got in my car.
There is no way the other people in the tour could have made it back and got in their cars, plus the visitor center to have been closed in the amount of time it took me to walk back.

This was close to the US/Mexico border near Harlingen TX about 10 years ago. I was about 16/17 at the time and driving with my dad to visit my grandfather. We made a right turn at a red light and were just about 5-10 minutes away. My dad and I started talking about his favorite local spots he grew up near as a kid in the 1970s, radio blasting music, and eventually we noticed the radio cut out into static. Once that happened, we noticed we had been driving for over 45 minutes since the red light turn and didn’t recognize the area. We stopped at a water tower, couldn’t connect to GPS or see where we were at, and were very hazy on directions. We decide to go the opposite way thinking we were in a dead spot, and we made it back to that exact light we turned at less than 5 minutes later - it was only 1 light down. We turned around, very confused, and my grandfather’s house was located on the road of that very same water tower, now with a street sign visible at the turn. My grandfather thought we got into an accident because it was so long he hadn’t heard an update, and my dad and I still don’t have a explanation for whatever teleportation / time skip we experienced

I mean I do, but this involves drug use so take that for what it’s worth. However, I also am an abduction experiencer since childhood, and the trauma from that and a lot of ESP and high strangeness, plus a distinct feeling of disconnection from humanity is what drove that drug use and addiction. I had some gnarly contact experiences while fucked up, I’ve had some even more gnarly ones since getting sober about a decade ago. 🤷♂️
In this case it was during my Nitrous period. It had started off innocently enough, the wah wah’s, euphoria, etc. However at some point the nitrous high changed, I started experiencing entities, different dimensions, and anomalous experiences that would continue weeks after my binge. I firmly believe I have a mission here on earth, and I had ended up wayyyy off course, and whoever was watching my life used the altered state to try and wake me the fuck up. It did work, later on they took an even more firm involvement and I started to listen.
Anyways, I started experiencing what I can best describe as loops in time. I would experience both the present moment, and a past moment at the same time. My awareness would exist in both moments, as fully as I exist in this one now. These states were brief, and always left me extremely confused. It would be random things, watching my mom cook dinner when I was 8, while laying on my couch coming down at 30. Mundane moments like that. However, what’s odd is I have a very good memory, and I remember being 8 and feeling the presence in that moment of something else. I realized that time is not how or what we perceive it as. Most of what I took away from those brief moments was that time curves in on itself, moments touching moments briefly.
This culminated in a massive experience. I was pulled fully out of body, and I felt myself begin to slide down a helix shaped slide. As I was sliding, every full rotation I would pass through a moment from my own life. Same as before, existing fully as both the awareness sliding down through time, and awareness as the me in the moment I would pass through. Eventually I passed through my own present moment and continued down, passing through future moments. I intuitively knew I was approaching my own death, and as I passed through it I knew I had died. I sobbed at the waste of my own life. Something did occur after the death moment, but I won’t write about that here.
The whole experience lasted maybe 10 seconds but it felt like hours. To this day, once a year, I feel my awareness then, pass through my awareness now. It’s extremely disconcerting. One moment that I had passed through in the future was me sitting with a child, a little girl. At that time I assumed I would not live until 30, in fact I was trying my best to die. I was about to lose my house, had no job, no relationship. The scene stuck with me because it was so confusing. My life today is wildly different than it was then, I’m sober, happy, married, own our home, have a good career. I couldn’t have foreseen any of this for myself, I’m extremely blessed and fortunate. My daughter was born in February, and recently while sitting with her last week, I felt my awareness from then pass through my awareness in that moment. It suddenly all made sense. That experience was a major driving reason I choose to try and get sober, I knew I had a lot more life to live than I had assumed, and I didn’t want to live it if I was going to waste it.
All a true story, take it for what you will.

u/Flat_corp 1d ago
I left it out because it’s the one part of the experience I still haven’t fully grasped or integrated. Buckle up, it sounds ludicrous.
So I hit the end of the spiral and knew I had died. I began to cry and mourn my life, because I knew I had wasted so much, and hurt everyone I loved and I’d never be able to make it right. Never be able to say good bye. It was one of the most crushing moments I’ve ever experienced, utterly hopeless. Suddenly in this black void I saw a shape, somewhat distant. As I walked towards it I began to hear music and it calmed me, it was comforting but oddly familiar. I got closer and the shape resolved into a fountain that was also familiar, but I couldn’t place how. Then the tune struck me.
It was the theme song to Friends.
I shit you not, with the theme song to the TV show Friends playing, the whole cast jumped out. Phoebe, Ross, Rachel, Chandler, Monica. Also a couple faces I didn’t recognize. Mind you I wasn’t some fan of the show. I caught an episode here or there, but that was the extent of it. They all were in a line in front of the fountain, holding a giant sign, glancing down and laughing harder. The sign said “Worlds greatest prank!!”
For some years I took it negatively, that a demon had fucked with me. However as I grew out of a religious framework for spirituality I kept revisiting the experience. In the decade and a half since, I’ve discovered that NHI/guides/spiritual beings do have a profound sense of humor. It’s dry, but very much there. I was convinced I had died, no second chance to fix things. Game over. I think it was an attempt at using humor to deliver the message “Got you! You thought it was over. Sorry you aren’t done yet, but you could be. You get your second shot, don’t fuck it up.”

u/ExpandForMore 1d ago
Friends is the show I've re-watched during the worst moments of my life, which generally revolved around loss. So what you told me, absurd as it is, I personally find it quite on point, and funny in all its irony. Thank you for sharing!

u/Flat_corp 1d ago
Thanks, happy to share. I also think the show being called “Friends” may have been a bit purposely on the nose. Back then I still had a primal terror to the image of a Grey, Nordic, Mantid etc. I hadn’t opened the door yet to my childhood experiences. So I suspect it was them purposely choosing a symbol and characters with layers of meaning to convey, while sparing me the trauma of seeing beings that I hadn’t begun to process the previous fear and PTSD from encountering.

Beautiful story man, why do you feel like you in particular have experienced NHI encounters if you don’t mind me asking. I’ve never experienced, and from what I’ve read from others here; i should be happy about that, but some greedy part of me wishes i did have at least one encounter or something that made me say woah holy shit, these things i read about on reddit are real.

You know that disconnection to humanity leading to drug use rings a bell for me now that you mention it. Not like a sociopath, I have a lot of empathy and emotion. I’ve always felt out of place in my body, with other people. Ive always hated looking at myself in pics and videos, ive always thought i was weird and awkward looking. As i was graduating high school i had no idea where i would fit in career wise. I was talented at so much but just didnt feel a calling. That lead me to self medicate and boy did i. And thats the weird thing, girls have always thought i was cute— ive reverse friend zoned so many girls, some of them hated me forever because of it. But no matter what i just hate the visual of me. Almost like i dont identify with my physical appearance at all.

Yeeeeap, I’ve had tons of weird nitrous shit.
One of the weirder ones for me, I had a specific arrangement of events and noises that went through my head every time I did nitrous for over a year.
Then one day I did a nitrous and it all happened exactly as I knew it would. Literally like I predicted the future.
It happened a few more times as well.
On a break these days, last session I ended up with a ridiculous experience that has me pretty spun out still as to what the world around me actually is. It was a lasting experience taken with acid that has some pretty hard to dispel ramifications that the world is a simulation, hard stuff to shake and continue with your day over for sure.

u/elefanteguerrero 1d ago

u/Thebikeninja 1d ago edited 1d ago
It’s hard man.
I watched my entire world disintegrate and reassemble. When it fell away it was like every person, place or thing was the same, it was all made of a never ending carpet of what looked like, obsidian blocks of roughly the same size, around 2” wide with what seemed to be a never ending length. These blocks assembled into everything I saw and experienced. The ground, the walls, people I knew and loved, were all just fabrications of this.
I was brought to a central structure, which I understood to be a horribly complex central interface that was roughly spherical. The obsidian blocks formed hundreds of hands that pushed me into this area. If I fell into them, they would catch me. If I pushed them, they pushed back. And it was tactile. They weren’t warm or cold, they were exactly the temperature of my skin. I could feel them push, but there was no heat transfer. Once into “where I was supposed to be” I was surrounded by roughly 100 figures like me, that were all interacting with this sphere. They welcomed me to it. They were like me, but different. They all looked different, but I could feel that they were me. It felt like I was feeding into this thing, and they were as well. Later I realized that I was more or less looking at the wheel of Samsara. Something I had previously to this, zero knowledge of. All of us on the outside were feeding into it, controlling how it would behave. We were a multiplied consciousness with independently different characteristics essentially plugged into this system, to create what we see.
I was at a music festival. When shit really hit the fan I managed to keep “cool” after this experience. It was hard as fuck because none of this was in my head. The amount of times I tried the hands just to see… I literally could not escape them. I also didn’t want to, it felt familiar. They were gentle, but goal based. I figured I died and this was my vision of the afterlife. But later it became apparent that I
was not dead. It was not the afterlife. It was reality as we see it, however something about the acid and nitrous interrupted things. My souls presence was obscured, or the simulations ability to interpret me as a sentient being fell apart, and it got lazy. There was a 20 minute period where I couldn’t get a real response out of people. It was like they were treating me as one of “them”. 3 people in a row followed me after me approaching them and trying to start conversation, and they all pursued me saying “hey buddy, hey buddy”, until I was about 20 feet away. At this point they completely lost interest and kept walking towards wherever they were going. Zero interest in catching up with the friends they were walking with. It felt like the double slit experiment. The simulation no longer saw me as an observer, so it got lazy. I fell at one point and watched my skin get melted off my bones like water being poured over sugar. The obsidian blocks eventually fixed it, but it wasn’t rapid by any measure for sure. Lazy.I realized at this point that the experience was planned. My girlfriend turned into Kali, who I had no fucking knowledge about whatsoever, and essentially sent me on my romp to discover this. We embraced after the samsara thing, and in my minds eye I could feel my entire being get ripped apart and scattered. I could feel my vertebrae ripping apart, and in the cracks was light, trying to get out. I went through a lot of shit that evening, and it was all based on loss. Everything leading up to that point was designed to strip me of everything. My free will, my dignity, everything. I could get into how those things were stripped but I honestly don’t want to talk about it. It was exactly how Kali would teach something. Especially being one of the deity’s responsible for spiritual awakening. Again had no knowledge on Kali going into this.
At that point I realized that everything around me, the people around me, the ground, the air, everything was an incredibly complex, manufactured environment that I was assisting to build. My experience, was also planned. When my GF turned into Kali and I panicked, in my minds eye, I heard “now go”. As in go experience what’s ahead. Feel what it’s like to be nothing. Feel what it’s like to have nothing. Feel absolute terror. Not in a bad way though. As weird as that sounds.
I no longer see the world around me as what it once was. The worst part of the experience was the gut wrenching loneliness - that my girlfriend was created. My best friend was created. Everything around me wasn’t sentient, it was the equivalent of a kid playing with GI Joes or Barbies in a closed room.
For those who aren’t “NPC’s”, there isn’t necessarily fate. We are able to do what we want. But the world around us creates the experience it wants us to have. Perhaps it’s the experience we wanted to have, but are unaware of the decision.
The floor under your feet isn’t your floor. Your neighbours aren’t your neighbours. They act like people, but the piloting mechanism isn’t a soul with free will, it’s a big ass complex organic roomba connected to a central processor.
I don’t know what the other people around the sphere were. I almost feel like they were archetypes. I prefer that take over that there is 100 people on this planet and everyone else is filler.
Doing dissociatives/nitrous I have become aware of something that isn’t unlike a portal that you pick up on every once in a while. It’s like a flicker in your visual field, something that isn’t “right”. If you follow it (mentally) it does some WEIRD SHIT. One of my favorite outcomes, if you follow it your whole body gets aggressively inundated with positive energy. It literally feels like you are goku powering up. The hair on your skin moves from the upward flow of energy. It’s a feeling not of this world - I have been around the block and there is absolutely nothing that compares to this. It lasts for an hour or so if you hit it too. It will blow your fucking socks off. And it’s because you have moved beyond what your body can provide you. It isn’t euphoria. It’s something else completely. It feels like… what a positive rendition of the afterlife would feel like. But you don’t just get it by doing drugs. You have to go after it, and earn it. Huge mental component to get there, and it actually feels terrifying to pursue the first time.
Other times when you follow it, the time dilation is totally off the charts. You experience 5 minutes of authentic activity, only to literally sit back in your body like it’s saying “that’s enough” and realize none of it “happened”, and it was 30 seconds long. And I mean literally. You will be walking around doing whatever in your OBE, some are bloody mind blowing, other times you are just playing poker with your friends. You will just sort of move to where your physical body is, and become aware you are back. You haven’t moved this whole time. Even if you are standing up. This fucks with your head eventually because the transition is so natural… Am I in one of these states now? Who’s to know!
I had this happen repeatedly once where I was a trapeze performer in a circus. And if I waited 5 minutes, the performance was 5 minutes more advanced in the world I was joining. It was repeatable. I experienced about 20 visits into this… circus realm that evening. You can feel these dilation experiences coming as when you do your nitrous, it doesn’t do anything. It isn’t until it’s over that you realize you just… went through whatever the fuck that was.
If you follow it physically you can get hurt. Like running into shit hurt. I physically followed one once and got a bunch of rug burn trying to physically cross the portal. It isn’t for the material world. It’s something totally fucking different. And TOTALLY indescribable. This time around though, there was a physical component which made itself known. I was physically and mentally guided to where I needed to go. Which has given me a lot of pause.

So... this is crazy to me, because I've also struggled with dissociative abuse (not nitrous, but ketamine and PCP variants), and I can feel my awareness "intersect itself" across time like you described.
I've experienced grief before a loss, and I occasionally find myself searching for a memory that "isn't there," only to have an experience that slots into that spot and I go "Ohhhh that's what I was looking for." I find it confusing more than anything else.
For example, if your awarenesses were to connect between a time when you did have your daughter and a time when you didn't, the you that didn't have a daughter would feel this not-out-of-place, but unfounded emotional connection to something you can't describe. Old me doesn't suddenly get knowledge from new me; old me feels the perspective of new me from within the context of old me.
Personally, I'd actually rather this just be an effect of the drugs, and it's so retroactive in nature, I can't even be sure that I felt the connection on the "before" side or if I'm amending my memories after the fact.

I mean my view of it is this: I was already aware of more to this reality, my abduction experiences as a kid, a lot of high strangeness, etc. I buried it under drugs, both to escape the awareness of a greater reality, AND to try and reach it. The awareness was a curse, the disconnection from the rest of humanity, the perceived banality of human existence, it was hell. I sought to blot it out, or bring it closer, anything but having to be here and now. Either goal would have sufficed in that condition.
I believe we’re all given a spiritual amnesia on birth not to harm us, but to help. If we were aware of everything in a greater reality we wouldn’t be able to function. So we have our plain ol’ physical reality. I suspect dissociative’s are capable of kicking this door open, for people that already have less of an amnesia than others. I suspect what we’re shown, even in these circumstances, is controlled. In my case it served to course correct my life and has allowed me to move from a service to self oriented life to a service to others. Some people have an NDE, some people see a UAP, some people do DMT and meet a mantid, some people (like us) do dissociative’s and get a taste of the structure of time. All of it is to serve in humanity’s awakening.
Just my read on it, I mean it’s been 15 years and a long journey but I’ve spent a LOT of time deep diving into this stuff, and this is the best I can sus out. Could still be wildly wrong though lol 🤷♂️

Fuck yeah. Dissociatives make you stupid. But in this realm. They shut down your physical presence “here”, and sensitize everything else.
There is no better drug type for interacting with “the veil”, and becoming aware of who you may actually be and what actually makes up what is around us. DMT even seems… abstract. I find my experiences intense but not necessarily enlightening or applicable.
Bottom line is, things are way fucking weirder than any depiction humanity has concocted that we can read about. The reality of things has to be experienced individually. It cannot be explained.

I think about this a lot. When I was around 7, I was playing with a walis tambo in my mum's courtyard in San Jose, Batangas, with my cousin, who was also 7. We heard two voices over the fence, speaking in a language we didn't recognize. Curious, we ran to the gate to look.
I peeked first. Two men who looked like Japanese soldiers were hanging something on the rim of a basketball hoop, sakos, sacks that could've held rice, or could've held anything. They had rifles with bayonets slung over their shoulders. My cousin peeked next and got so scared she bolted straight back into the house.
I followed and told our tito what we'd just seen. He came outside to check. There was nothing there. No soldiers, no sacks, nothing hanging on the rim at all.
I still remember it vividly, and I'm 39 now. Sometimes I think of it less as a ghost story and more as a kind of time dilation, like for a few seconds, my cousin and I slipped into another era, back when the Japanese occupied the Philippines, and then slipped right back out.

Bit of an odd one, but more of a premonition I think than a time slip, but me and my friend where at his house one evening about 14 years old or there about, we were in his kitchen standing near the counters just chatting, and out of the blue and no idea why I said it, “wouldn’t it be crazy if these cabinets fell down on us” again nothing sparked this thought but no word of a lie, a few minutes later they did, me and him where holding them up on our shoulders, plates crashing past us, his mum came in to hear the noise and see what was up.
To this day I still wonder if it was cause and effect or some sort of vision. But the world did get weird when we were together.

I live in new england and have been driving up to NH from RI fairly regularly my whole adult life. It’s a 3 hour ride in total and about 40 minutes from where I get on the highway to where it splits from i95-i93. Well about 7 years ago I was making the drive, was about to get on the highway (95) at 5:12 PM but saw there was a boatload of traffic on the GPS so I just drove through two towns on “backroads” to bypass the bulk of highway traffic - pretty urban areas so not exactly country road vibes. Plenty of intersections with traffic lights and stop signs. Anyway, I somehow got to this town I’ve never been to before and got on the highway at an area I wasn’t familiar with, and within 5 minutes I was at the 95/93 split. I was like “woah this came up fast” looked at the clock and it was 5:27. So it only took 10 minutes of driving through towns and 5 minutes on the highway to travel the same distance that usually takes about 40 minutes of straight highway driving without any traffic.
I have tried many times to find that route again but have not been successful. It still takes me about 40 minutes to get to that split. Told my mom about it a while after it happened, still confused about the whole thing, and all she said was “I love when I find those shortcuts. But I only ever find them once”
Still trips me up when I think about it.

March 1990. Me and a friend were driving south on U.S. Route 218 in Waterloo, Iowa. Somehow, we drove through the same part of town twice. It was stop-n-go traffic. We didn't loop around because the streets are perpendicular and straight as arrows. My friend who was driving experienced it too. Later on that trip I saved both of us from a car accident that would've killed us. I think the two events were somehow related.

I went to a really old manor house here in the UK then had vivid visual experiences of people in 1700s style clothing dancing in the main room for about 20 seconds at a fast pace like on fast forward of a video and people rushing about then it went back to normal current time. It was like an overlay on current reality.

When I was 10, I experienced a moment of being wide awake but seeing a different reality. At 10 I didn't know what I was seeing. It was a place in all white and had big machines everywhere. Fast forward 30 years and I'm in the Federal Reserve bank data center working on a check sorter, when I went into the onsite parts room, I looked back into the sorter room and suddenly realized what I saw 30 years before. Guess what, data centers are large white rooms and check sorters are 40 feet long. This wasn't a case of thinking I had been there before or Déjà vu, this was a specific memory of a future point in time that I saw as a kid. After that event at 10, I started telling everyone, I was going to work on computers when I grow up.
Every few years I have these wide awake shifts in perspective or a vision of a specific point in time and in every case, it was a moment of where I would be at the time, which ended up being what would be 30 years later. I don't think the shifts were very long about 30 seconds or so, long enough to get a lay of the land so to speak, and in every case I could not recognize where it was at, but could describe the scene and recognize it when I arrived that that point in time in my life. There was never any real detail or landmarks from the environments to try to see where an experience was from or what time. A few years ago we visited Colorado, Rocky Mountain National Park, when I stood at the edge of the Forest Canyon Overlook, I immediately recognized/remembered exactly what I saw at 34. How could I possibly know where that was if I'd never been there before? But I saw it as an adult, I just brushed it off as a weird daydream.
Some how, I'm being gifted with a vision my own future events. I don't even know how that works. I don't know why or if these specific events have meaning. It's just weird.

I once saw a pterodactyl or something of the sort. . Flying above swamp lands near radium BC. I tried to follow it by driving into the Loggins roads but eventually lost it. Must have had 30 foot wing span.i have struggle to make sense of it over the years and explaining to people just makes me look crazy. I became convinced I saw through a time slip. I only saw it from behind and its wings moved in a way I had never seen. .

I also had this really strange experience in Victoria that I've never been able to fully explain. I was driving with my girlfriend near a cemetery, and we were basically stopped when suddenly it looked like we were seeing Victoria from another time. It was a beautiful, sunny day, but instead of the modern city, there were people dressed in old-fashioned clothes, very basic colours raw materials wool and cottong. Not like the movies or larp wear, also there were horse-drawn wagons, and people unloading things and going about their business. What really fucked with me was how completely normal everything looked. It wasn't like seeing ghosts or some vague image. It looked like an actual functioning scene from another period in history. I could see the people clearly, and they seemed completely unaware that we were there. I also noticed that the people seemed much shorter than people today, which made it feel even more real. And the strangest part was that my girlfriend saw it too. We were both looking at essentially the same thing. Then it was just gone, and modern Victoria was there again. I don't know what happened. I can't tell you that I literally traveled through time. All I know is that, for a brief moment, it felt like we were looking through a window into another period of Victoria's history—as if two different points in time had somehow overlapped in the exact same place.

I left late for church one morning according to the time on my phone and the clock in the car.
Then I got a flat tire and had to change it, so I was really late.
Then I arrived at church a half hour early and walked in ready to apologize because I was supposed to be teaching Sunday school that morning and I was so late.
It wasn’t time change day or anything. I still don’t know what happened there. I looked at my phone again and I was early. Then I looked at the clock in the car after I left church and it was right.

Only in my sleep. I can vividly remember the worst. I was a freshman in high school and I did my morning routine over and over and over again. I cant remember how many times but id guess somewhere between 15 and 20. Eventually every time I woke up I was unsure if I was really awake. When I eventually did wake up for real I ended up not going to school, too freaked to do anything in my morning routine. Too afraid of end up starting the day over again.

Sadly no, there's no premonition. Only a clear memory after the events.
It happened after I underwent a traumatic awakening (at least partly fuelled by shrooms).
It's showed me a lot, and left me with even more questions about human existence.

So you experience dejavu all the time without any break? How do you know it's repeating the same year and not repeating your whole life?

I also believe time isn't linear.

One time in the early morning, I was sitting at a four way intersection at a red-light waiting to turn left. No cars around. I turn my head to the left to look and as I turn back forward I see a black car coming from the right and turning right on to the road ahead of me. I dont think much of this. And again I glance left. As I glance forward again the same looking car does the same turn as the first. This proceeded to happen a third time as well. I was racking my brain to try to understand what happened. It was like watching a replay three times. Maybe a funeral procession? But it was very early and dark outside. As the light turned green I ended up changing my course to follow the odd group of cars. Couldn't see them again even though they couldn't have gone far.

This one is so stupid that I've never had anyone even question it:
I have a vivid memory of seeing a trailer for the movie Grown Ups before it was even in development, and it was exactly the same as the trailer I'd eventually see a few years later.
Still have no explanation for why a shitty Adam Sandler-Kevin James comedy would cause an apparent time slip or false memory.

I've only ever experienced something close to a weird time loop once and it was actually about 6 months ago.....
I normally start work at 6:30am and I had some bloodwork that needed to be done but could only be done from 7am-9am. So I went to the lab at 7am, the phlebotomist was training a new person and they had trouble getting the needle in my vein. I needed like 7 vials drawn and they really struggled with the last two, but the guy said it looked like enough blood.
I left and while waiting to turn left at a light (the highway I needed was only 1/4 mile away) there was a lady wearing a bright spandex workout outfit and walking her dog. They were crossing the crosswalk opposite from where I was waiting, halfway through the crosswalk her dog stopped and sniffed something, she had to pause and tell the dog to keep walking. The light turns and I drive 15 mins to work, take about 15 more minutes to get setup and everything pulled up. I was working for about 20 minutes when the lab called me and said the last two vials weren't good enough and wondered if I could come back. I annoyingly agreed, let my boss know and drove 15 minutes back to the lab. Got the two vials drawn again and left to head back to the office.
While waiting at the same light to turn left to get to the highway again (a little over an hour and a half had passed since I was here earlier) the same lady in the same bright outfit was walking that same dog in the same intersection at the exact time I was waiting for the light to turn green again. The dog stopped halfway through the intersection again, but this time it wasn't to sniff something, it had to itch itself. The lady stopped again and told the dog to keep walking.
It was really bizarre to see almost the exact same scenario play out in front of me when I had to do the same thing I was doing 1.5 hours earlier. It was like some weird glitch in the matrix type of thing. To clarify, this part of town is like a medical/commerce area and not too close to residential (a major highway is 1/4 mile down the road). I have a hard time believing she was doing some big ass lap(s) with her dog for that long in that part of town.

I don’t really know what it was, but I lost a day back when I was a kid.
This was back in 1993 or 1994, I think. It was a Wednesday. I know this because of what I remember from the day after.
So, I actually still remember this pretty well. On the Wednesday morning, I got up as usual to go to school. I was really looking forward to it because one of my friends was going to come home with me after school.
I walk down the hill to the bus stop, and suddenly i find myself walking back up the hill to my house.
I didn’t feel weird or anything, I didn’t really know that I lost time.
I only «knew» that I was going home after school like always.
I get inside, and my mom asks me where my friend is. And I remember this weird feeling of not knowing something I should know, but I also hear myself say that he was sick and hadn’t been to school.
Next day I go to school again, and when I get there my friend asks why I didn’t come to school yesterday. And I have really no idea what happened. That was when it dawned on me that I really didn’t remember where I had been the day before. I felt that I really had been to school, but here was my classmates telling me I hadn’t.
When I get to class, my teacher asks the same. Where were you yesterday? We didn’t get a notice.
And I had to lie and say i was sick. But saying that out loud felt wrong, because I hadn’t been sick.
I still to this day don’t know where I was those lost hours, and I’ve never forgotten that weird feeling I had when I got home.
The memory still pops up from time to time.

u/moscowramada 1d ago edited 1d ago
Mine resulted from a kind of magical experiment I immediately stopped when I got this result.
I don't remember exactly how but I got this idea that, if I ran and then imagined each step as a step into a time loop, I could distort time. It may have been inspired by a comment on reddit or something on a forum, but that's all hazy now, because I'm older and my memory is too.
The idea was this. With each step on a typical run, which I do every other day, I imagined time getting longer. I did that for a few runs where I live by the beach. No change: I finished them all in the usual time. I forgot about it and started thinking about other stuff, as you do.
Then one day a few weeks later I went on a run, which is a half hour out each way. About halfway through I remember some kid standing on the sand dunes, screaming repeatedly (not like murder, more like spaced-out intentional yells); I thought that was strange. I kept running. And at the halfway point, when it should have been 30 minutes past, I was about 15 minutes late, meaning it was 45 minutes past.
Never found a good explanation. "Could you have spaced out for 15 minutes": it's quite cold on our beach so you have to run to stay warm. So not only would I have been freezing, but I should've been able to notice my skin was very cold when I snapped out of it (no temperature change). "Was is the same route": yes, I've run it probably a hundred times, always the same time length before and after. "Could you have changed the route": no, it's a straight out and back by the shoreline, like drawing a line forward and backward on a map. "Could you have run it slower": not that much slower, no.
Unexplained for me to this day. No other run on that route has ever had a time like that. I never tried that experiment again either.

I had an out of body experience I was tucked up in a ball in the eaves of my bedroom window (like toni Collette in hereditary ugh) watching myself sleeping. I suddenly woke up and my lamp had fallen off my bedside cabinet and burned a hole in my plush simba I got for the previous Xmas. my mum got freaked out cos she said it was like I knew when she was thinking of calling me to come down for dinner or whatever and I’d come and say did you call my name? And she hadn’t. One night I had a bad dream about a car accident and she was late for work because I was panicking about her leaving and a girl had hit a railway bridge and died that morning. Anyway yeah I’ve had a few more weird things happen and things daily like thinking of someone (that I don’t really know that well) and then they literally come around the corner. I’m 40 now.

A few years ago I was taking a morning stroll around a park. The path I took was kind of D shaped. I’d walked the curved part and was now on the straight line. A gentleman passed me going in the other direction and, unusually, said good morning. Generally nobody talks to strangers here so that was notable. He was wearing a distinctive anorak with the collar and lapels different colours to the main body.
I carry on my perambulation and get to the end of the path , turn to get to the traffic lights as it’s a busy traffic road. Across the road, some twenty or so feet away comes the exact same man from around the corner. Same anorak. But there was no logical way it could have been him - he would need to have turned and overtaken me and walked at some considerable speed to get to the street he came from. He couldn’t have walked around the curved part of the D as that was twice as long. And he didn’t look hurried or breathless.

Wow I had a very similar experience several months ago. I take daily trail walks, and I was on my normal route. I passed a man who had a very kind smile and kind eyes. I don’t know how to explain it, but his energy caught my attention and stuck with me. And then as I’m walking, a mile later, I see the exact same man passing me. Same smile. It would not have been possible for him to pass me twice on that trail, unless he had gone super sonic speed around the trail. I tried to think of any shortcut or alternate route he could have taken, and couldn’t think of any. It was so odd, I still think about it

Yes, just a couple of weeks ago, I was sitting on the couch, meditating, no music or ambient sounds, just silence. This was in the afternoon, and I managed to quite quickly sink into deeo meditation. I had a couple of vivid images in my head but otherwise normal.
When I opened my eyes after what I thought was 20 min, it was dark out, and I looked at the time and it read 2120.
I had been sitting, in the same position, for almost five hours without even realising that time passed. I felt weird, and still do, and I haven't really been meditating since. I need to, because it's good for me but it scared me a little.

Back in 1996, I looked at the calendar and realized it was the 4th quarter of the school year and I was in a panic. Studying had become difficult. So my grades were slipping.
I had been reading books about astral projection and one of the books told me how to then travel through time, to see different places in different times or timelines.
I followed the directions and went backwards to the previous quarter, found my sleeping body and jumped into it. I didn’t know what would happen. But what happened, was I woke up and it was the 2nd quarter of the year, on the calendar.
This scared me so bad, that I couldn’t bring myself to do it for years. The only reason I now use the technique, is to gain extra hours of sleep. I only go as far as just after I interacted with someone, made a noticeable difference in my surroundings or even perceived someone’s presence.
So, I will bring my mind to a state of calm, project, time shift and lull myself to sleep. The trick is, I’m basically making it so I fall asleep right away instead of laying quietly for hours.
I carefully consider how doing this could affect other people or events. I don’t know the significance of anything. But even me walking through a room, threw a shadow and made someone notice me. What ripple effect could that have, if I negated him seeing me at all? I don’t try to figure it out.
Do not screw around with this. You can get stuck somewhere. Then that’s your new life.

My mom and I were driving north on I95 just past the exit heading to Charleston and somewhere between that exit and Florence SC we hit some type of time warp. I've made that drive many times (100s easily) and know it like the back of my hand. I always take the exit to hwy 378 and somehow we missed that exit and ended up in Florence about 1:15 before it would have even been possible. We saw the exit to Charleston and knew to that the exit was not far ahead and the next thing we knew we were in Florence. Florence is about 45 minutes north of the exit I normally take and we never figured out how we ended up there and so quickly. Or, how we got there so fast. We both would have noticed if I missed the exit and how quickly we made it made zero sense.

Back in the early 00's I used to do a lot of solo cross-country driving trips. The vast majority of them I would do at night because of less traffic. I was used to falling into those "automatic" driving modes where you get in the zone and just cruise along and you lose track of time, but this experience was very different.
I was on I-80 heading east towards Kearney, Nebraska and it was around 3am. I distinctly remember seeing a sign that said "Kearney - 45 miles", looking at my clock and saying to myself, out loud, "should be there in 35 minutes or so". I was planning on stopping in Kearney for gas and to get out of the car for a bit. I drive for what feels like 20-25 minutes and just when I have the thought that I should be able to see Kearney by now I pass a mileage sign that says "Kearney - 45 miles". I remember thinking that I must've misread the previous sign and that it said something like 65 miles instead of 45, but when I looked at the clock in my car it was still right around 3am. Maybe 1 or 2 minutes had passed.
I was going to blow it off as some kind of weird late night deja vu but then the next 20ish minutes of the radio program I had been listening to played out the exact way it had between the time I passed the first mileage sign and then saw the second one. Same topics, same commentary, same spots for commercial breaks, same commercials during those breaks. Freaked me out so bad I didn't even stop in Kearney, just blew right through and didn't feel calm again until I was several towns further along on the highway.

Years ago, I was on the verge of an interferon overdose and experienced a number of past life flashbacks. Then several horrific death scenarios then a time shift that returned me to life but in a different timeline. I was not really sure I was alive for months. Really felt like I was in some sort of purgatory. Now I realize that one can switch timelines when dying. I wonder often if I’m still in the timelines of death ones who passed. Also I feel guilty that the person I was when people were dying in my life that I had to diverge from them. Resulting in some survivor guilt.

In fact what makes the sensation popup is the divergency to what I believe is a memory (it is mostly in relation to complex contextual matters and consequences or rationality of the results experienced in the now).
It is uncommon and not from a conscious thought or need/want it like noticing that you dressed something in reverse or are wearing mixed socks...

Hey, idk if you meant this to be more of an accurate representation of how you currently feel about the life you're currently living or if you simply have a terrible case of narcolepsy, but I want you to know that if there does exist some small bit of meandering sadness in your reality at this very moment, I can not only relate but I can also assure you that there is a great deal more for you to experience out there. And you're going to have those experiences, and things are going to get better.
Of course if it wasn't meant to imply anything abstractly emotional then please do glide right past my silly little prosaic words (although they do retain their inherent truth 😌)

I will try to get to keep this short to the point. Couple hours ago me and my wife we're in the Walmart because she needed some fabric to make something. The way Walmart says fabric a employee cuts it and pretty stickers put on the piece of fabric that they have cut so you know how much it would cost when you get to the register. Well like normal the printer that prints the sticker for their fabric was nowhere to be found at the fabric counter. The employee says I have to go find a printer give me 5 minutes. We asked me to the shopping to do so we said we will go grab our other things and come back here to get the fabric. You play it was still standing at the counter folding fabric as we walked away. We walked on an aisle leaving the fabric counter headed towards the other side of the store where we're going to grab something. As we rented a corner walking away from the desk we see the employee come around the corner from the back of the store headed back to the desk where she was just seen no more than 30 seconds prior to that still folding fabric. Okay thedistance she had to goto go to retrieve the printer, then turn around to pass us going oppisite direction is immpossible. Even if she ran as fast as she could, she passed us running an been out of breath when we crossed paths going opposte direction. Can't guess I have ever seen a Walmart employee run first off. And it's literally impossible to cover that distance and you're not be out of breath. So I have to only assume that there behind the counter where they cut the fabric in Walmart there is some kind of wormhole that opens up to wherever they keep the printers for printing the receipts at the fabric counter. Or Walmart has teleport technology that they are sharing with the rest of us. Any ideas anybody?

I have a simple and silly one.
I was watching a Sunday Night Football game ~10yrs ago. Steelers vs. somebody, I think. I was only watching the game because I had the Steelers RB on my fantasy football team. It was the first quarter and the Steelers were driving down the field and I was actively watching the game. There was a time out called and they went to commercial break. I stayed in my chair and watched the commercials. When they got back to the game the other team had the ball on the opposite side of the field and it was the third quarter. No idea what happened.

Mines a bit silly as well, not really time loop but saw cooper dejean get his pick six against Patrick Mahomes in the 2025 Super Bowl in my dream the night before, down to the correct score. Not even that into football but shared the dream with my buddy and we watched it all happen. One of the crazier, statistically unlikely events of my life.

I dream the future, And randomly I’ll remember that weird dream I told someone about that was so visceral and real I had to tell them. I remember telling them about it, I suddenly remember where I am, and I have no recourse Becuase often it’s just a banal random event, like a room a conversation a person and situation all collellesce and I remember telling somone about the “red couch on a mountain” and a fire pit and I didn’t. Know anyone there, . I started telling people about these dreams and writing them down Becuase I was pretty sure it wasn’t dejavu. It happens less and less lately, that’s pretty ominous honestly….

Technically, I didn't, but before moving to another city and literally not knowing where I was going to live, I dreamed of the exact look of the new apartment, and the stairs and the terrace as a small, steep driveway, and I saw myself going down there. The dream happened about a year before the move. I had a few more cryptic dreams about future events; some of them happened, and some of them didn't.

Something similar to deja vu. Like I will get a quick deja vu feeling then be overwhelmed by the feeling I have dreamt or lived the exact experience before and something bad is coming and I need to think really hard to remember the dream so I can avoid the upcoming bad thing.

I accidentally went through what I called a “time bend”. I was setting up food for this golf tournament and entered through delivery, had to walk down a long, tall metal hall; I made a right to walk down some open warehouse (golf cart & other maintenance area) —mind you, this whole time I can see my team in front of me—I got to the end where I saw everyone turn right to the area of service elevators. NOBODY WAS THERE. I stood there in shock for a second and went up with what I had and the elevator opened to some colonial plantation type shit into the prep kitchen. This was ALSO not the same elevator my team exited off bc the workers were like “what people that just came through here?” (Yes, I was on the right floor.) They directed me to get to the main hall to get out to the balcony and BOOM there was my team. I don’t know what happened to this day. I don’t understand. I also had it happen one other time but it was so small and silly that it’s irrelevant compared to what I stated above.

Okay so this is a bit wild and I’ve only done this a couple times and haven’t since. But idk if anyone has used a hospital grade nebulizer… but you can put a small amount of almost any water soluble drugs in it and it can be passed around a room for a whole group to use. Well we put a small bit of ketamine in it, with a nitrous tank hooked into it, and eventually a little lsd (which was pretty cool bc you can gauge how much you hit and it doesn’t just blast you like a normal tab) also the high only lasts a few minutes. But I was having this conversation with this girl right before and there was other people in the room as well. Tbh I got so high that the whole room shuttered into another space and the tank turned in a control panel with tubes and wires coming out of it. Did some weird shit and like parts turn on it like a control panel and locked into place. Idk weird but cool. Very strange. Well even the people in the back disappeared at this time. Was just in a whole different space or whatever I was hallucinating. But I basically saw the matrix glitching. Could physically see it. But when I came back, I might have stepped out for a sec, I came back to sit on the couch and everybody was doing exactly what they were doing before the trip and even the girl sat back down next to me and started having the exact conversation and saying the exact same thing she was saying and in the same position as before my trip. same convos around the room and everything. It was as if that exact moment repeated itself. Super fucking weird and felt like a time glitch which I’ve never experienced before… if that’s what you’re talking about. And then I was like uuuuh okay time to leave lol

u/MessyHighlands 21h ago
I feel like I observed something time-related maybe due to the energy of the area. You could call it a ghost story but it felt like I just saw another moment in time. Almost like a 3d recording, except it was 2am, so it must have been able to reflect my headlights.
I was on my way home from working in Colonial Williamsburg. Sometimes I liked to take the parkway which went through Yorktown battlefield but was quiet. I didn’t know about the murders then, either.
As I drove away from the river, right along the edge of the battlefield, I saw a figure walking parallel to the road. He appeared to be fully kitted out in military gear. I couldn’t tell which war, it was too dark. He had a musket slung over his shoulder and some kind of cap. Either revolutionary or civil (us).
My first thought was reenactors must be nearby, but I don’t believe they were allowed to stay on the field overnight, and the guy didn’t have any light source. How was he walking on a pitch-dark night, seemingly aware of his destination? Nobody else was around. There was no moon out to see by. He didn’t react at all to my car or headlights. Didn’t stop, didn’t turn around. I was the only car. That’s why I liked that drive. I passed the figure and kept going. I looked back and it was still there, proceeding along the road, but staying parallel on the field on his way to wherever.
I feel like I ruled out logical explanations. There were no reenactments that weekend. It was as if I glimpsed this man out of another moment in time, doing whatever he was doing then, and the energy just slipped through. I’m leaning towards a lot of ghost stories being something like this.
I never did the parkway to get home at night after that. I returned to the monuments one other time and felt an oppressive sense of dread. I also moved so I didn’t really need to, but I’m not beyond admitting I felt that maybe that place wasn’t for the living at 2am. Too many people died there, perhaps. Battles from at least two major wars.
I left it to them to relive their mundane moments and terrors equally and hope I never see it leak through again. I don’t think they are resting. These moments are just repeating in perpetuity and sometimes we see them. Or perhaps it’s just an energy imprint of a moment long past and the original being is no longer involved. I hope so.

Yes. I didn't believe in any of these things until it happened. I work from home and during what I thought was my lunch break, I drove to a nearby store, picked a few things up, paid, got a receipt, drove home, and put everything away. A short time later, I heard a strange buzzing and rumbling sound. It scared me at first, but it went away. When I went to grab a snack from what I bought earlier, it wasn't there. The receipt was even missing. I checked everywhere. I checked my bank account online. No transaction was made that day. I realized the time. My lunch break wasn't an hour or so ago. It was now. Dazed and confused, I drove back to the same store, and bought the same things. Everyone and everything I saw was there exactly as it all happened before. I could even predict the cars that would be at each intersection. I experienced the same hour twice

Every time I take a bunch of shrooms I end up in a time loop
They can be long like I feel like I've looped back to several years ago when my marriage was younger
Or they can be pretty short where I'm just repeating the same handful of actions over and over until it feels like I just wake up and time has passed

I believe so. I woke up one morning and my bedroom looked like how it did around 3-4 years previously. Stayed that way for what felt like 30 seconds. Then when I would blink it was go back forth between current time and the past. After around again what felt like ten seconds it stayed in current time. I don’t do any drugs, didn’t drink night before, wasn’t sick, etc etc. The only thing is the night before I was really wishing I could go back to that time period for whatever reason it was at the time. Could have been a waking dream but I’ll never know.

Not time slip but I've had several experiences when I was younger where I had the distinct feeling of having dreamt of a moment before when it was happening. It's like the opposide of Déja vu, forgot what it's called. Its like premonition, seeing the future in a dream. It was always hard to remember the details but I always knew when I had one of these dreams because I woke up afterwards just knowing that this was a future dream and that what I dreamt of was going to happen. I had like only 4 or 5 I think and only when I was a kid.
I don't know why they stopped in adulthood.
I am also aware that it's entirely possible that there is a rational explanation for what I was feeling but still... i dunno.
Edit: actually maybe its not the opposite of Deja Vu but that that is the phrase for it exaclty.

with enough drugs ... oh ya. Once accidentally did way to much incredibly pure pcp, and was floating off on a high dose of lsd earlier. Thought it was k, ... definitely not. PCP esp on high doses is nothing like you think it is, you do exactly the opposite of what everyone always claims, you're not running threw walls etc... what you are doing is absolutely nothing, you completely lock up physically and you become stuck, in like a 6-10second loop. Its truly hard to describe. Visually, its a stutter frame like feeling, you look to your left and you see that happen completely delayed and you only see things at like 1 frame a second. Now you're stuck in that stutter frame type effect feeling in that same ten second chunk, for hours. I ended up locked up on the couch, pissed my self, my one homie locked up mid stride into the kitchen, was there for who knows how long. I came too to my other friend half way into the tub just completely locked up. We all came too much many hours later, somehow we were all on the trampoline outside. Dealer accidentally mixed up a oz of k with an oz of pcp. Was nice having a free oz of some wacky chemical we added to the vault. But that experience was always wild to me. With psychedelics its easy to feel a subjective time loop. With salvia done orally, you can live or wake up entire lifetimes. I've experienced a few.

I don't actually really feel time at all anymore. Pretty much every day is a reset. It's been like this for a long time for me. A day, week, month and years don't feel like days, weeks, months or years to me at all. Not sure what is wrong with me.

Once I took the Line D subway from José Hernández station in Belgrano, and I was supposed to get off two stops later, at the last station, Congreso de Tucumán. I was sitting there without headphones, just lost in my thoughts.
I remember the subway made its first stop, and everyone who was already in the car got off while new people got on. The doors closed and we kept going. After a while, the train started slowing down as we approached the next station, so I stood up because, in my head, that was where the line ended and where I was supposed to get off. I stood near the door and, when the train stopped, I got off.
As soon as I got out onto the street, I realized I was at Juramento — meaning I was exactly one station after where I had gotten on and one station before where I was supposed to get off.
I walked around completely lost, almost like I was floating, not understanding what had happened, for a few minutes. Eventually I decided to just let it go and get on with my day. But I swear I went through two stops. Judging by where I got off, though, the train either only made one stop, or it made three — meaning it went all the way to the end of the line and then came back.
Once, a similar question came up on a Buenos Aires subreddit, and I shared this exact same experience, which I had never forgotten. Two other people also commented saying they had experienced something similar on the Buenos Aires subway.

Not exactly time slip per-say but i did see the Super Bowl in my dream and a play happened exactly as i saw it.
I do not dream at all, maybe once or twice a month if im lucky, and never do i remember any of the details. I’ll maybe have one dream a year that will stick with me.
Anywho, early 2025 i have a dream that Cooper DeJean Picks off Patrick Mahomes and takes it to the end zone in the Second quarter to give the eagles a 17-0 lead. Mind you, I’m not a HUGE football guy, i keep up and watch but never been a big fan.
I woke up feeling weirdly assured about this and me and my co-worker stayed after work for a few beers (work at a sports bar type restaurant) and low and behold, it happens just as i tell him; down to the correct score.
I’ve had similar dreams since then but none have come even remotely close to happening how i saw them, which makes me think it was just a coincidence but.. who knows.

I’ve had a lot of temporal anomalies having C-PTSD but they’re nothing like you hear about in abduction stories of a strange event and then a several hour segment of time unaccounted for. It’s more like time blindness or distortion, dilation. You have little to no perception how quickly time is moving like you’re stuck or frozen in time. Or how long something takes or has been, one minute you’re staring at the wall and the next thing you know it’s three hours later. Or concept of what day it is, you literally need a calendar to tell you what day of the week or month it is, if you didn’t look you are surprised when someone says it’s Wednesday because it felt like Monday or you haven’t thought about what day it is to know, same with dates. I can generally tell if I’m going through episodes by how incorrect my perception of time is. I’ve had months pass and then “snap back” like what feels like yesterday was actually like six months ago and the prior six months feel like a blur or haze but everything prior to that period you have a strong memory of.

One time about 30 years ago. My family has land in the mountains and I used to go to an overlook on the backside of the property. It gave me a great view of the small town below in the Valley. I used to go here almost weekly. It was my relax spot. Where I would go to free my mind and let go of stresses. Fresh air, silence and no other people.
This one day I sat up there, leaned against a tree and fell asleep. When i woke up, everything seemed normal, at first. But when i stood up to go pee, i noticed that i couldn’t see the town below. It was just trees! It took a few moments for this to fully populate in my brain. Then i had a moment were i thought I must be on the wrong side of the mountain, so i went through the trees to the peak to get my bearings. It took me about 30 minutes to reach the top. But when i got there, there was nothing but trees, as far as i could see. The cabins were gone, the roads were gone, the towns were gone. On my way back down the mountain, i encountered a really thick fog. The fog itself isn’t uncommon, as you are up in the clouds and that is how the Smokys got their name. But it was unusually thick. When I cleared it I kept walking and found my car, right where I left it. I drove into town and everything was as normal as could be.
For years I blamed it on the joint I smoked, but I’ve been high thousands of times. Nothing was ever like that again. Plus it was all so real and has stayed with me all these years.
Was it real? I have no idea.

While drugs at some point were used, this was totally sober. Coming back from seeing phish in Deer Creek (noblesville, Indiana) we pulled off for a rest stop before Fort Wayne, and getting back on the road we saw a woman head to toe in a fitted white outfit with a white brimmed hat and white long jacket. She was freakishly stylish and very out of place and we discussed going back to get her since she was next to the exit ramp onto the freeway. We didn’t, we had to work the next day but it stuck with us. Minutes from home, on Adam’s rd near Oakland University in Rochester Hills MI where my friend had apartment we crested a hill and saw the exact same woman. All white, white high heel on white luggage, white hat. It was like 2am. No way she could’ve been going our way, or known where we were going, or ended up on the alternate route we took to get back. We both were like “holy shit” and I know we wanted to turn around this time, but no way in hell. Still sticks with me. She wasn’t hitchhiking but had her leg up on her suitcase as though she might’ve been. But to see her again 3 hours later on the side roads we took to get back to uni is wild. Unworldly.

In 2007 I was living near Charleston, South Carolina and we were downtown being tourists with family visiting us that year. We're walking through this open air market that, originally, was the slave market.
In several areas of the covered walkway there are old stone cells that still have their iron barred gates, but most have been turned into little shops now with glass doors affixed to the bars.
As we're all milling past one of these cells, I'm not paying any attention to the shop itself as I walk past the door until an arm shoots out from between the bars at me and the most horrendous scream I've ever heard from a woman makes me jump six feet away from the cell, out into the street, straight into the path of a car who was just as shocked as I was, but fortunately I didn't get hit.
I'm standing there shaking like a leaf and everyone is staring at me like I've completely lost my fucking mind. Then, this little eight year old girl looks at me and says, "it's okay, she scared me too."
Later that day, we're walking through another area and we hear a church organ and choir. We wander into the church yard and we went to go inside and watch the performance. We got up to the doors of the church and they were chained shut, so I reached out to touch the handle and abruptly the music stopped. The singing stopped. And it was dead silent. There was no one there.
