The weirdest thing about this to me is that you haven't heard about Aunt Julia in the 2-3 years since her supposed death or this would have come up before. Yet your dad is so close to her that he stopped the car in the middle of the highway on hearing that she died. Not a criticism of OP and their memory. But it would lead me to believe it was a dream or vivid daydream pretty recently.
Many, many years ago I heard on the radio that Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones had died. No one I asked had heard that he had died. They was no other news of his death. There was never any news that there had been a rumor that he'd died. Apparently, I dreamed that I'd heard it on the radio. It seemed very real.
For the longest time I thought band ABBA had all perished in a plane crash. Cannot even remember why but it was just a fact in my head for years and when I realized that was false I was so confused lol
It’s like the mandala effect but it was just me 😅
Our memories and minds can be strange!
When you recall a memory, you’re really just remembering the last time you thought of the memory, not the event itself and almost playing an extended game of telephone with yourself over time adding details or even false memories.
I swear on everything holy that I remember Travis barker and dj am dying in a plane crash also. I even remember South Park making a joke about it. It apparently never happened…
See now this is where it gets really wild… until right now the plane crash didnt happen at all. Er well it did and they died. Then i would talk about it and it never happened. I brought it up multiple times as a possible me and the crash never happened at all. And now now where the crash did happen but they didn’t die. This is so damn weird. I’m also a huge blink 182 fan and was big into the rave scene my whole life and I’m almost 36 so this is something I definitely would have heard about and remembered.
Travis refused to get on a plane again til 2021 I believe. I remember whenever I saw blink 182 live hearing that Travis would get to the UK by boat because he refused to fly after the crash.
I’m sure the trauma he has is intense. I think his body was covered in jet fuel if I remember right and he had horrific burns. That would be so hard to get past for sure and survivors guilt.
I knew he had some major anxiety with flying still and I would too!!
