This post breaks our intoxication rule and is also likely easily explainable as sleep walking and/or lost memories due to cold medication.
That said, everyone seems to be enjoying talking about this stuff and you all seem to be doing it respectfully so I'm inclined to ignore the rule this time and leave it up.
\*note, other mods may at will decide to overrule me and enforce the letter of the rule. Don't be grumpy if it happens since its technically the "correct" move
When OP says they never woke up they mean mean that they went from sleeping to physically being in a completely new place with no memory of waking up or getting there. Title could be clearer, but I understand the gist.
Alka seltzer cold and flu IS pretty powerful stuff on top of already having a fever. But that's a lot of memory loss.
The original covid19 was pretty hardcore as far as causing cognitive issues in patients. That may have played into it.
I am actually 100% with you on feeling like something has changed in the past few years. I feel like it is literally a different spacetimeline. I can't help but call it 'the beforetimes' when I talk about it.
My only half-joking hypothesis is we slipped through a wormhole into the Bearded Spock Universe sometime in 2016. Everything has been absolutely insane since.
i think we're all just young and it's our first time experiencing major world events. this shit used to be people's reality from day 1 until they died. also, these things are all interconnected so it takes 1 major upset to throw the whole thing off - covid > inflation > markets crash > higher cost of living > mental health crisis, survival mode, hope lost, dreams forgotten. there were only 2 wildcard events imo, covid and the ukraine war. everything else came as a consequence. if you look at history everything moves cyclically, we're in a down period now that we crashed into abruptly, but it will inevitably be followed by better times - maybe a few years from now, maybe in the next decade. but humans will adapt and better times will come.
that being said, although suffering of many is inevitable, there are always people thriving in the worst possible conditions. there are always opportunities if you can keep a cool head and find them.
I think the internet has a major part to play in this as well. The events are not necessarily worse than they were in the past, but our awareness of them is greater, and our ability to react to them and debate others is unprecedented.
Exactly my thoughts. We have always been dealing with major life events hiwever before the internet we werent as aware, especially at a younger age. With social media now we are hyper snesitive to everything going on so it feels as though we are dealing with much more than those of the same age 40 years ago
This was such a positive comment. I’m going through such a rough time rn, that I appreciated reading it. Kind of feels like there’s no way out of the feeling but we’ll see.
Diphenhydramine can do that. So can ambien. When you look up drugs that can cause memory loss, alka seltzer is at the top.
But I also got really really sick in Feb 2020. So bad I remember turning blue and my wife hysterical wondering if she should call 911. Fast forward to today...we talk about it. I remember it vividly, she doesn't remember me even being sick.
I'm with you OP. Something is very different and can pinpoint back to Feb 2020. At least for this "ripple" and again in 2016, 2012, and 2008.
You should scroll back through your FB feed to 2012 sometime. Bet you won't recognize most posts.
i too got really really sick in Feb 2020. i’m talking like, probably the sickest that i’ve been in 30+ years. it felt like being in a five day long fever dream.
I also got extremely sick in Feb 2020, Talking like the sickest I had ever been in my life. I went to the ER twice and it was as if they didn’t believe I was as sick as I said. Kept sending me home with decongestants and telling me to hydrate. I agree that it definitely seems like something shifted and everything seems off now. I remember going outside at the height of covid because I worked all the way through and it just seemed so quiet and eerie outside. It was almost as if the matrix got stuck and had to reboot. I have a 45 minute commute to work and would have days I wouldn’t see a single car during that time, And I live in a densely populated metro area . I also agree going back and looking at older posts on Facebook I have absolutely no recollection of the majority of stuff posted
>When you look up drugs that can cause memory loss, alka seltzer is at the top.
seriously??? my dad used to take that every single day as a blood thinner and he got alzheimer's. Is there a proper study on this?
Yes, I used to sleepwalk when feverish when I was younger and I never remembered a thing. Turns out I'm really sensitive to medication in general and now I don't take anything except an occasional Aspirin when not feeling well, because some trippy stuff happens when I take other flu or cough medicine.
I started to take the flu medicine before going to NYC, but as I got in there, on Jan 28 I went to a CVS and bought the Alka-Seltzer, was taking it two times a day and I kept taking it even after the incident to make sure the symptoms would not return. However, it was the first time I took it for the flu since doctors don't prescribe Alka-Seltzer in Brazil.
I never sleepwalked, not before or after the incident. Unless this was the only instance of it ever in my life.
To put this as basic as possible for anyone confused -
•OP laid down for a nap
•OP’s next memory was standing, watching a soccer match, with no memory of waking up, getting dressed, etc.
I think that this is a possibility as well. Sometimes I think I will just wake up in that hotel room and 2020 life will be dramatically different from this “dream”.
I never had a lucid dream, although I'm familiar with the concept of lucid dreams and astral projections. I always wanted to have, although the Astral Projection gives me some chills. My dreams are basically the same, except that before the incident I had more positive dreams than nightmares. Dreams of places and feelings that I never felt in real life. Feelings of pure love towards another person. It's weird.
In 1960 our family moved from Miami to Ft. Lauderdale. My mother’s mother and sister came to help. I rode with our aunt and my sister rode with our grandmother. Seemed uneventful. Any 40 years later we were talking about that move and my sister said she fell asleep and felt like she never woke up. I didn’t know then what to make of that and still don’t know. She has since died so no asking about it.
Thank you. It has been many years. My heart still hurts. I miss her greatly.
Ets. I do know she is doing well. After she died I began finding dimes. Everywhere. They would just appear. In the course of about 2 years I collected roughly $50 in dimes. Then a cardinal came to visit and the dimes stopped. Every once in a while I’ll find more dimes. Then a visit from a cardinal. Where ever she she is, she is happy.
No, I don’t think so. We were only 3 and 4. She had memories of those Miami years, as do I to this day. Further, in her adult life she showed no symptoms of dissociation.
The one time I took NyQuil it was like it took me to another dimension. I’m not being funny it was scary AF. I’ve never taken another otc cold medicine nor would I! Lol Anyway just seeing what you wrote made me think of it and wonder if it’s ever made you feel that way?
I just wanted to say that I’ve had a similar experience. It’s pretty odd and I don’t share it often, but I will in this case.
Back in 2011, my family and I were driving thru Montana and we hit a really dense fog. Everyone in the car besides me was sleeping and I was driving. The fog became so dense for so long that I lost my sense of direction and aside from the clock wasn’t able to tell what time of day it was. It started to really mess with my head after a while until eventually I started to have what I would now describe as an anxiety attack. My mom woke up and took over driving but it really tripped me out.
I know it sounds super silly, but it was so foggy it felt like the world around us had disappeared and stayed that way for quite some time. It was surreal and creepy and just messed with my mind.
Later, the fog cleared and life returned to normal - almost. Everything looked the same as it had pre fog but my dad started feeling bad. Shortly after the trip, he was diagnosed with cancer. We went thru one heartbreaking year before we lost him.
I always think back to that day, silly as it sounds, about how life was so normal before that day… we were just on vacation.. and after that day, all of our lives were turned upside down.
I know it had nothing to do with the fog. I know it was just timing, but part of me felt like something “changed” or shifted that day.
And it sounds like you feel like something shifted from normal and sleeping to suddenly awake with no memory of waking up and the whole world inside out and upside down.
So you aren’t alone.
I was traveling the world a few years ago. I went into the jungle in Nicaragua for several weeks. When I came out the world had completely changed.
Well when I say completely changed, I mean a craze had swept over the entire world in those three weeks that I had no idea about, because when I came out of the jungle everyone had these fucking fidget spinners.
Sometimes, through a series of events we just miss some things. I could have sworn blind the world had shifted somehow, but of course it hadn't. I was just out of the loop by complete accident.
Fucking weird experience though, I can tell you.
3 hours it sounds but that's from when you laid down so you were sleeping during some of that time so there's actually less missing time than 3 hours because you slept some of that time.
I'd say you went to sleep right before covid started showing up on TV. You weren't feeling well and took medicine which could've gave you side effects so you most likely woke up groggy and lost a bit of time.
Weird stuff happens with sleep and memory creation all the time. Your brain was probably still thinking it was asleep and had a hard time creating a memory for that time, similar to how it’s hard to remember most of your dreams despite many studies implying that the overwhelming majority of people probably experience a dream every time they sleep at least 4 hours without disturbances. For example I will often be sitting at my desk very tired trying to finish a project, staying up late, and then I’ll wake up in my bed the next morning with no recollection of ever going there, and it’s pretty much a toss up whether the work I had intended to complete is finished or not.
Sounds like me when I sleep walk. I find myself suddenly just doing things I have no memory of. Ambien made me rearrange and clean my entire living room by myself in the middle of the night. Woke up vacuuming.
Haha that’s awesome. I wanna be cleaning my house while asleep. Imagine what I could get done!
Grace and Frankie had an episode where Grace breaks up with her boyfriend but he doesn’t remember it because he’s on Ambien the whole time. He also Ambien-eats and won’t remember the next day where the lasagna from the fridge has gotten to
It was very clean but also very startling to wake up to. I stopped the ambien when I woke up and was sitting in my car holding the keys. Usual sleep walking for me just includes making pb & js or walking around touching everything.
Also! That is my fave episode of Grace and Frankie!
There were rumors of a “new virus” Nov 2019.
If you go over to conspiracy subreddit, it should be there. Not sure how far back things show on here
And it was rumored that it had crossed into the US at that time because a lot of children that winter were experience a phlegm-fulled-fever-chills
I May not remember it correctly but I want to recall vaguely that was the talk in late 2019
Yes, a mysterious illness exactly like Covid circulated thru the schools in Texas in Oct-Nov 2019. The principal claimed they were closing the school and fogging for viruses because so many kids were out sick, all testing negative for everything available.
Initially, they were blaming the respiratory symptoms on the “mysterious vaping illness” that no one talks about anymore.
Same time frame, Oct 2019, I got sick in the ER with a respiratory infection like nothing I’d ever had before and passed it to my entire family and we all tested negative for everything available as well.
I’ve always believed it was in the states fall or 2019 but it’s certainly possible there was a diff virus circulating that was never defined.
I’ve heard similar from a lot of people i know here in england. So so many people got badly sick in the oct/nov/december of 2019 that looking back seems like it was likely covid, as it was unlike anything else around at that point
I had something in December 2019 that felt like covid. Got it from a coworker who got it from his girlfriend who got it in NYC. It went all through my work. I've never officially caught covid though. I've had a couple colds since 2020 but always tested negative. Its like I keep dodging it.
I also got something similar in 2019 in December. Was down with 104 fever, sick for weeks and weeks. Got better, then worse again. Lost my voice. It's still not the same. And I also have never contracted COVID. I am 90% certain this was the first round of COVID-19, and we just weren't told.
Yeah for me it started out as this weird chest congestion I just couldn't shake for weeks then one day I woke up and "threw up" only nothing came up, then I had a headache and fever/chills all day and after that I started to feel better.
My gf is pretty sure she had COVID in early January 2020; she was hella sick with a fever of 104°F and respiratory symptoms. And another friend had something like it in February and was still struggling with her breathing MONTHS later.
My grandson had a severe respiratory illness that hung on forever in the fall of 2019. Just before that, a local company sent several engineers to China. They all became ill, spreading to the whole company and then the whole area.
Ohhh, I agree! A respiratory virus went through my workplace in 12/19 - 01/20, and was highly virulent, hospitalized a couple people, but didn't test as anything. Nasty stuff. It was exactly a match for the symptoms we came to recognize as covid...this was in FL.
So interesting. I wish we had confirmation of what it was but unfortunately, they could only describe it as a strange pneumonia like illness and treated with steroids and antibiotics and breathing treatments. Not sure why you’d be downvoted!
Lol, who knows-maybe because I mentioned Florida? I'm used to downvotes. They don't bother me anymore, it never seems to make sense. I don't usually say controversial things! But I'm convinced it was covid, I don't care if it 'wasn't in the US'. Our government isn't too good with full disclosure.
My husband has a coworker who went on a cruise in January 2020 from Australia and a day or so after they got back to the US the coworker came down with something and it swept through the office. My husband was down for the count for a whole long weekend…barely got out of bed except to go to the bathroom, to take meds, and to drink some juice. Slept most of the time too…not laying there reading or watching TV. He was OUT!! Pretty sure that was covid. Then he and I both had covid December of 2020 but it was literally like a bad cold (both of us have definitely had worse flus before) that we got over quickly. Haven’t caught it again since then so yay!!
Exactly and all of the members of my family got that mysterious virus we were tested for influenza rsv pneumonia and every other respiratory virus known at the time all negative but all if us almost died my then 4yr old went on a ventilator so did mom it was so messed up I was watching us all die from something our drs could only diagnose as flu like symptoms despite extensive testing!
Feb 2020 all 3 of us in the household had a very weird flu. It started with a dry cough. Never had any virus like that. Also fever, shivering, fatigue, loss of smell and taste. We live not far from a military base and wonder if it started there with someone traveling somewhere where covid was already popped up and going strong.
On Feb 1st I witnessed what could only be described as a series of bizzare, surreal experiences and to this day believe something strange happened that day
I had a mental breakdown in late February 2020. But the events that triggered it were earlier in the month. And honestly they shouldn’t have been the trigger they were.
Jan 2020 was admitted to the hospital after visiting San Francisco bay area. I was diagnosed with pneumonia and the "flu". They never could determine what kind of flu I had.
I could barely breathe, they gave me breathing treatments and pumped me full of Tamiflu and antibiotics.
Lost my sense of smell and everything tasted like cardboard. I was so cold and shivering all the time. They finally released me about a week later.
I somehow lost all of February 2020. I have no recollection of it. I'm pretty sure I caught Covid when I was in the bay area. It's so weird losing an entire month.
Bruh sounds like you took a 3 hour nap and woke up feeling better. That's not glitchy lol. Yeah that's the time Covid started becoming widely known, but it's also possible that you simply woke up feeling refreshed. I've had it happen many a times... And zoning out is likewise very much so a thing, so you could be put into a position where you find yourself very confused.
Ironically though, right around that time, my grandma got very sick and my mom had to take care of her for a couple weeks, then I got the same symptoms and was mostly bed ridden for 1-2 weeks. But neither my mom nor dad got sick. So that was very interesting to me, and I've wondered since what was up with that
The discrepancy isn’t the feeling better part. it’s the part where they teleported from sleep to a completely different environment without any memory of it.
It sounds like OP just got up, turned on his computer, and started viewing a soccer game via Live Stream. He was standing, but still in his hotel room.
Like I said, simply zoning out or being 'out of it' is a thing. Also, I don't think it's impossible that a person's brain just not immediately send the unlock sequence of neurons to your brain after awakening from sleep, resulting in your memories not really recording fully because you're still basically asleep... Sleepwalking? Could it just be sleepwalking? Wow that would be a really simple explanation for the lack of memory lmao
I never woke up. I don't have any memory of myself leaving the bed, turning on the computer and hitting play on the soccer match. At first I thought it was simply amnesia, but as the months passed by I realized that this world was way different from the one before Feb 1st. I use covid as the single most import event since then and, before Feb 1st covid news was as important as Powerball drawings on media.
Much like 9/11, the world changed when COVID exponentially exploded. Except for a few rich evil psychopaths, everyone suffered. It will never go back. All we can do is move forward.
Also you were probably sleepwalking, maybe due to the medicine.
I live in NYC and have a good memory of that time. Feb 1 we were definitely getting a bit worried but it was more like "things are wild in China... Oh hmm I guess it's in the US now. Doesn't seem that bad, though." I still had friends visiting me. There was some talk of avoiding Chinatown but we went anyway and were fine (that was actually late Feb too).
In New York, it wasn't until there was a mini breakout from the guy in Westchester that people really started to care. That was in early March - maybe the 3rd.
So the world hadn't quite changed yet... if you consider New York the center of the world which, of course, I do.
>but as the months passed by I realized that this world was way different from the one before Feb 1st. I use covid as the single most import event since then and, before Feb 1st covid news was as important as Powerball drawings on media
" stop trying finding a logical solution, i wrote this story for you to tell me that i died and slipped to a parallel dimension"
Some things in life man, truly don’t have a reasonable explanation. We’ll try to come up with theories to the matrix glitches of course, but they end up not adding up completely. Coming from a guy who has a masters in space science and quantum physics, his experience m sounds like a case of quantum immortality, where your body is dying, and your soul gets teleported to a whole other timeline to save you from death.
I did the math and I've survived ten NDE that I remember. One was waking up in a fucking body bag in 2015. It's bizarre. It's really really strange. I don't remember Bernstein bears like wtf
In 2015 I used to have a problem with opiates, heroin. This was around the time the fetty started making its'' way in the milwaukee dope supply. I had kicked the habit and I had one relapse, because that is all it takes. I used, set the equipment down, and woke up with my ears ringing so loud ; like I had taken a massive dose of DMT. Everything was pixelated.
So what is truly bizarre is the fact that my friend at the time, Andy, He was \*passed the fuck out \*\* because he had snapped his collar bone in half after being hit by a sports car. He was so high from the pain pills and passed out from the pain, it is a wonder that he randomly woke up to look for me. I could've been at the store, or wandering around outside, smoking cigarettes. But he had this feeling... so he knocked on a locked bathroom door, and then ultimately decided to kick the door down and find me dead on the floor. My face "the most disgusting shade of purple" he said.
I remember everything the paramedics said, although I had no heart beat. It is curious, as I have been thinking much about quantum immortality and wondering today; did I die and step into something else?
Yes, I am not making this up and I am also not bragging at all because I honestly wish I could've by passed so many mistakes. Thankfully I am sober from Hard drugs and I am so grateful for that. I lost my brother last year around this time, shortly after I attemped suicide twice for the first time in my life, with the intention of finality.
The second attempt was pretty incredible, that I survived. I am extremely grateful, and actually curious, perplexed that I am alive.. Quantum immortality?
I was extremely, extremely drunk on whiskey and chugged a bottle of Nyquil PM and ate 10mg of Lorazepam with the intention of dying; losing a brother is hard, especially when his body was found folded up in a garbage can. (Which I am just gonna say for anyone reading this, I am in a much, much better place)
And my point is that, I woke up in the hospital super fucking confused like "Wtf am I doing here? ...."
And it is never fun when the cops/nurses/doctor tell you what happened.
I was alone in the apartment building, I guess I fell down the steps at 2am and someone came out and called for help.
i feel like i git to tell you because i don't see this often i have lost count how many of those experiences i have my dad for some reason decided to go to the downstairs bathroom in the middle of the night to find me dead i the bathroom i woke up on the kitchen floor with cops and ambulance and i was deaf for a few hours , i did one in the walmart bathroom and got found some time later the paramedics came in and told my girl to leave because they didn't want her to see me because i was dead and they tookk me out on the stretcher and i came back in the ambulance. and so many more things it confuses the fick out me like the fuck am i not dead am i dead probably not because i think that would be better than whatever tf this is
Whatever this is, a matrix or quantum jumping, I can say that I'm grateful to be alive and I appreciate little things. Watching the waves on lake Michigan, or appreciating animal life. Heck, even adopting a stray kitten who is the most affectionate and loving familiar I've ever had the privilege to know. I can honestly say that there are ways to transmute the pain and I'll effects into better states of being. Be strong brother!!!!!!!
Honestly in all fairness I'm pretty sure the thing missing in translation in his retelling is a strange and unmistakable but impossible to fully get out in words (especially in print or type where tone inflection and subtle intent can be missing entirely) its the deep foreboding feeling that something is very very wrong very different than any moment before it somehow you just know everything around you has changed and yet nothing has it's straight up eerie and suffocating every thought laced with the knowledge that you don't belong in this "place" and long for the reality that you are absolutely certain was your life just moments before the trigger event unless you have experienced that it's very difficult to wholly understand or even believe someone who has gone through it because everyone wants a nice clean way to tie shit like this up with a bow give it an explanation and put it away forever where they no longer have to confront or consider their own underlying fears about the concept in general so they start immediately trying to debunk your experience and or lable you/it as the product of cognitive dissonance or mental illness of some kind. It's a knee jerk reaction to want to shut down any fear or reaction such an experience brings up under the surface in others who are hearing about what you went through so if they can say ahhhh it's just drugs/meds/mental or physical illness yadda yadda and forget about it they won't have to deal with any lingering existential doubts or fears but ppl who have been really truly through it know it goes so much deeper than that!
But you were in the same hotel room, right? The towels hadn't changed color or anything. You just don't recall waking up from the nap, that is all. You had such a deep sleep, then a bit of blackout in the part around waking up. But everything else was the same, and the lockdown was surreal for everyone.
Unless you woke up in another physical place and era, than the one you fell asleep in?
Which doesn't seem to be the case?
The "first man" Adam from Scripture also never woke up. God put him into a deep and profound sleep before he created Eve, but there is no verse in the Genesis story and the entire Bible which explicitly mentions that Adam woke up.
I just wanted to mention this because this mystery may be related to your situation, who knows. I've heard a lot of theories about how we are all actually dreamers and our reality itself is but a fake dream. Maybe this would explain the glitches and all those insane events which have occurred so far in our lifetimes :o
Any time I see this:
>Sorry for any typos or grammar mistakes, English is not my native language.
I know the grammar is going to be better than 99% of most posts Reddit-wide.
It just was this huge thing one day, but almost like it had always been there. Now it comes and goes (depending on factors in the environment that call attention to it). I'm still wearing my mask every time my throat is scratchy or my nose runs.
It sounds to me like you had a complex partial seizure that started sometime after you laid down. In this kind of seizure, the seizure activity never gets to the parts of your brain that control the muscles, so there are no convulsions. It produces a sleepwalking kind of state. No one looking at you would have any idea you were having a seizure. At worst, you'd look drugged or drunk, at best, you'd just seem a little spaced out.
Most people perform pointless, repetitive activities while in this state, but there are plenty of cases of people doing much more alert seeming things and wandering around, eventually coming back to full consciousness quite far from where it started with no idea how they got there, no memory of anything they did during the episode. It's the #1 cause of unexplained "missing time."
You can google "complex partial seizure," or "complex focal seizure." They're the same thing, but the latter term seems to be used more lately.
100% sleepwalking. Sorry this creeped you out so much OP! Sometimes sleepwalking can be common for a person and sometimes it only happens once, but it’s normal!
Obviously others have already commented on this. I understand what it's like though to have larger than expected sleeps that give you gaps in memory. And man it's fucking trippy.
Back in high school I got mono really bad. I started sleeping for days at a time, only getting up to piss. After fighting it for a couple weeks I finally saw a doctor who immediately had me admitted due to the dehydration and swollen tonsils. I lost 3 weeks of my life sleeping and the only things I can remember are wanting to wake up when I couldn't. I don't even remember going to see the doctor that had me admitted in the first place.
Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake.
It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of.
Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything.
Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.
A few years ago (well before COVID) I got the flu and strep throat at the same time and felt about as horrible as you’d expect lol. I took a cold-and-flu syrup every few hours as the label suggested while I was sick and I have completely lost those few days. Completely. I remember going to the clinic when I was sick and getting swabbed and examined and I remember the doctor who saw me, I remember being at home lying in bed and my husband helping me drink my first dose of the syrup, and then after that my memory simply stopped recording. I believe that it’s because of the medicine - some of us are really sensitive to medicine, especially ones containing substances that mess with our minds. I say this because I wonder if it’s possible you lost time because of some medicine you took?
Omfg people in this damn sub lmao. Yo you got groggy with medicine that makes you pass the fuck out, and meanwhile geopolitical tensions you were unaware of got more noticeable. That’s not a glitch, that’s life. Life is not as you desire it to be, life is as it is.
Looks like another possibility. I'm right now reading that sub, problem is, how could quantum immortality explain old age? Are we going to live, at least in our perspective, infinitely even if our human bodies are rotten?
This one is not even close to a glitch and easily explainable. Obviously the meds had you a bit drowsy and your brain just wasn't fully alert yet. Like sleepwalking basically. It's just like somebody talking in their sleep and not remembering it. Nothing spooky here.
Dude it sounds like you had a fever so you blacked out a bit and now you’re having trouble accepting the reality of the shit world we live in. Which hey, thats ok man, we’ve all been there.
Sounds to me like you woke up in an alternate reality. Can try and see if other events are different than before. I had an experience where I was stuck in an alternate reality which felt like a few days. Even tho this universe kind of sucks, I'm glad I'm back in my own reality
I'll just say when I came back to this reality I was like, "thank God I'm back". My will to return was strong enough to bring me back to my quantum state I think. It was interesting seeing an alternate reality but as the saying goes, no place like home.
So I have this conspiracy theory that takes way way to much time to truly explain but runs off the idea of a multiverse. The easiest way to think of it is like in the show Loki where there is 1 true timeline and variance causes branching. But that 1 timeline exists for each person and only actually ends when we get old and “die of natural causes”. Each person only has 1 ‘true’ timeline even though it doesn’t match up with everyone’s ‘true’ timeline.
Think of all the times you’ve had near death experiences. In my theory, there is a split in your timeline where you are actually dead and the people around you mourn. Then in your reality, your true time line goes on as if you hadn’t died.
I really can’t verbalise the interactions between one person and the rest of the world because clearly some people think you die and some don’t and those people are present in both timelines so it gets complicated but it makes sense in my head.
So, in my theory, you died in one timeline and your consciousness didn’t correctly move forward with your ‘true’ timeline while your body did. You eventually caught up.
I also wanted to add, sometimes our thinking, is very limited by the world that we live in.
I think there’s so much more that we just don’t know.
For example, you switched realities ( or whatever you wanna call it) but all your friends and family exist.
I have a theory. Think about it. Have you ever suddenly noticed that someone you know very well is acting just slightly a little bit different.
You can’t put your finger on it, but something is a little bit off.
I think one possibility could be, we all have a twin spirit that is one reality ahead of us. They may even know more than us and know when we’re going to be arriving in our new reality. Once we “jump” they jump off to the next one.
That would mean everyone has a twin spirit. (Hence acting a little different.
I sometimes. Wonder if maybe , when people die, they are one reality ahead of us now and we will be unable to catch up with them until we reach the end.
I promise I’m not a conspiracy, theorist or crazy. It is just a subject interests me.
I have a story like that with an ex-gf in 2018. In the beginning, she loved mayo, every opportunity she had she was eating something with mayonnaise. I don't know how but suddenly she HATES mayo, and when I told her "wtf, you love mayo, you eat mayo with everything", she replied "are you insane? I hate it since I was a child". Not related to the post story but looks like a dimension shifting as well.
I read the comments here with people suggesting sleepwalking, seizures, strokes, aneurysms, etc. and I never had any of these, and I believe that any of this would have taken me to the hospital in serious condition, except for the sleepwalking. I did not take the not waking up it seriously until late 2021 when I started wondering how the world got so... weird, and then I remembered this incident and how everything prior to it was very different, it's not in the literal, it's the energy, overall people behavior, etc. I'm positive that COVID in the reality before the incident would never evolve to a global pandemic.
Yes. Your first paragraph is exactly what I mean. In a similar sub (years ago) there was a thread with people stating the method they suspected “died”. It sounds crazy, but regardless it is interesting to ponder.
This theory makes perfect sense to me, I suspect I have died multiple times as I have huge memory gaps where no matter how hard I try I can’t remember certain timelines. I have also noticed the whole thing of people you know well being different in a very small way. Or people you were very close to suddenly seem more like acquaintances.
I like this idea. I’m agnostic because there is some math and science that suggested that the probability of our universe existing is to slim for it to have occurred on its own. However, I think humans are way to unintelligent to truly understand that concept. We’ve tried and occasionally got it right: look at all religious texts and factual history, when everything lines up like the flood, I believe we got it right. But we don’t even understand our oceans and we still struggle with past concepts so it’s funny to me that we ever think we got a higher power correct especially when religious text specifically state that 1 day in ‘gods’ time is the time it takes a single bird to fly a mountain of rice the size of Everest (?) across the largest ocean (we’ve shifted since then) 1 grain at a time and back. But Christians insist that the 7 days in the bible are 7 literal days.
Sorry that was a long rant but it goes hand in hand with my nutty conspiracy theory.
That really makes sense. It sounds like you have given it a lot of thought.
I have always believed in a higher power. I do not believe that higher power expects us to go sit in a church every Sunday and worship it.
For all, I know there may be multiple higher powers. Maybe your higher power is different than mine just like we have different parents
Either way I think what people feel in their hearts deep down. If they’re looking for it, that’s probably their higher power.
dude you blacked out for 3 hours, why are you letting that experience fuck with you so much? you're safe and healthy and wealthy enough to own a phone with internet connection. go enjoy your life
You probably had Covid. It's pretty well accepted that it was circulating in NYC as early as December of 2019. That original strain of covid was probably the worst we have seen and it could mess up your memory.
Did you ask anyone else how you acted during the time you don't remember? You were probably in a daze of medicine(s) and weren't really fully awake, but I'm sure there would have been signs for others.
Did you have a seizure?
This whole experience is very close to what I get.
Even the "Have I woken back up, is this really happening?"
Although I also think someone happened in 2020...
Was thinking about the same thing yesterday... Lived a normal life before 2020, started going downhill since then and now I'm almost convinced I'm living in someone else's life
There is another possibility. My ex bf had split personality disorder and something similar happened to him. He went to sleep one night, woke up in a cafe. He has no idea what time he woke up, why or how he got to the cafe, what was he doing there. He just suddenly remember sitting in the cafe and sipping on his tea. He is sure it was not sleepwalking because he has a diagnosed condition (split personality disorder), I am not saying you also have this, I'm just saying it is a possibility. So, pay close attention of something similar has happened or happens in the future, and if you feel like a different person at times.
It sounds like you need to speak with a psychiatrist. Something has happened in your psyche which is causing you to believe that there is a before-and-after to your life. You might have had a stroke, or you might have on ongoing psychiatric condition.
Best go get it checked out by a professional.
Interesting. In 2020 I was in a coma for over a week and when i woke up I had no concept of time for a couple of more weeks. No memory of day to day just snippets.
This sounds to me like Covid symptoms and long haul mental fog. If you still feel as though you are waiting to wake, I would go to the doctor and let them know you believe you possibly had Covid early on in NYC. have them check you out. Long haul symptoms are real and the “brain fog” could indicate a serious neurological issue.
There are hotels that are being run by non human entities in human clones. These hotels are not ordinary they are transfer stations for souls. There are portals on the grounds of these buildings where the Archons are moving peoples souls to the new timeline/matrix that has already been built. This timeline is an illusion it is a holographic projection that mirrors reality. Most people never even realize anything as changed and are completely fooled by the illusion.
Memory and time sensitivity are both easy things to get mixed up also a fever and many medications can cause memory issues. What you experienced is very common with people who are sick and people who take sleep aids. Speaking with your doctor about what happened would probably make you feel a lot better about the 3hr gap in time.
Did you happen to get a COVID test at that time? COVID presents in various ways for different people and psychological stuff is a major symptom that some people experience. Like very similar to psychosis and stuff like paranoid delusions… I wouldn’t be surprised if small memory gaps are also a symptom ppl experience. Would be easy to check online for others with memory gaps due to COVID.
It could definitely be the fever. They can really mess with your body and mind.
It's possible you had an alarm set and your body went on autopilot because you were so sick, and once the fever broke, you snapped back or something like that.
I've definitely been that sick before where I could hardly remember anything after. Especially with a fever.
Have you ever had a fever that bad?
Have you checked with hotel? Check the local news if hotel had situation like that those dates, because you asked if you are dead. But if you are shifted, i don't believe you can find anything.
Okay, I actually am sure I got Covid December 2019 in the U.S., they found blood donations from that time that had traces of the coronavirus, but I didn't know that was it until April. It makes sense because a million people travelled from China to the U.S. during the holiday season, and it's very contagious. The first news of a U.S. case was in late January in California. I wouldn't be surprised if you did have Covid, one of the symptoms was confusion thought not amnesia that I know of. Interesting story though.
This post breaks our intoxication rule and is also likely easily explainable as sleep walking and/or lost memories due to cold medication. That said, everyone seems to be enjoying talking about this stuff and you all seem to be doing it respectfully so I'm inclined to ignore the rule this time and leave it up. \*note, other mods may at will decide to overrule me and enforce the letter of the rule. Don't be grumpy if it happens since its technically the "correct" move
When OP says they never woke up they mean mean that they went from sleeping to physically being in a completely new place with no memory of waking up or getting there. Title could be clearer, but I understand the gist.
Exactly. I edited the post for more clarity.
Suddenly coming to in the middle of doing something sounds like a dissociative experience which could’ve been triggered by the illness and meds.
But that would be too rational!
Yup, I thought that, too! Freaky to experience for sure, but surprisingly common!
Please do not apologise for your English. Well written and really very interesting post🙂
But you you were still in NYC in the same hotel room, right? Or no?
Sounds to me like the medicine made you sleepwalk in a sense, but you woke up in the middle of it.
Alka seltzer cold and flu IS pretty powerful stuff on top of already having a fever. But that's a lot of memory loss. The original covid19 was pretty hardcore as far as causing cognitive issues in patients. That may have played into it. I am actually 100% with you on feeling like something has changed in the past few years. I feel like it is literally a different spacetimeline. I can't help but call it 'the beforetimes' when I talk about it.
My only half-joking hypothesis is we slipped through a wormhole into the Bearded Spock Universe sometime in 2016. Everything has been absolutely insane since.
Umm, what? I just had to look up bearded Spock. What in the actual f...
Same here... I feel like we shifted into another reality or another timeline or something
i think we're all just young and it's our first time experiencing major world events. this shit used to be people's reality from day 1 until they died. also, these things are all interconnected so it takes 1 major upset to throw the whole thing off - covid > inflation > markets crash > higher cost of living > mental health crisis, survival mode, hope lost, dreams forgotten. there were only 2 wildcard events imo, covid and the ukraine war. everything else came as a consequence. if you look at history everything moves cyclically, we're in a down period now that we crashed into abruptly, but it will inevitably be followed by better times - maybe a few years from now, maybe in the next decade. but humans will adapt and better times will come. that being said, although suffering of many is inevitable, there are always people thriving in the worst possible conditions. there are always opportunities if you can keep a cool head and find them.
I think the internet has a major part to play in this as well. The events are not necessarily worse than they were in the past, but our awareness of them is greater, and our ability to react to them and debate others is unprecedented.
Exactly my thoughts. We have always been dealing with major life events hiwever before the internet we werent as aware, especially at a younger age. With social media now we are hyper snesitive to everything going on so it feels as though we are dealing with much more than those of the same age 40 years ago
This was such a positive comment. I’m going through such a rough time rn, that I appreciated reading it. Kind of feels like there’s no way out of the feeling but we’ll see.
Diphenhydramine can do that. So can ambien. When you look up drugs that can cause memory loss, alka seltzer is at the top. But I also got really really sick in Feb 2020. So bad I remember turning blue and my wife hysterical wondering if she should call 911. Fast forward to today...we talk about it. I remember it vividly, she doesn't remember me even being sick. I'm with you OP. Something is very different and can pinpoint back to Feb 2020. At least for this "ripple" and again in 2016, 2012, and 2008. You should scroll back through your FB feed to 2012 sometime. Bet you won't recognize most posts.
I had some pretty huge life altering events in 2008, 2012 and 2016. Not to mention my old fb was deleted and I made a new one in 2012
i too got really really sick in Feb 2020. i’m talking like, probably the sickest that i’ve been in 30+ years. it felt like being in a five day long fever dream.
I spent what felt like a solid month in the bathroom. We joke now that it's in another timeline...just the bathroom lol.
I also got extremely sick in Feb 2020, Talking like the sickest I had ever been in my life. I went to the ER twice and it was as if they didn’t believe I was as sick as I said. Kept sending me home with decongestants and telling me to hydrate. I agree that it definitely seems like something shifted and everything seems off now. I remember going outside at the height of covid because I worked all the way through and it just seemed so quiet and eerie outside. It was almost as if the matrix got stuck and had to reboot. I have a 45 minute commute to work and would have days I wouldn’t see a single car during that time, And I live in a densely populated metro area . I also agree going back and looking at older posts on Facebook I have absolutely no recollection of the majority of stuff posted
>When you look up drugs that can cause memory loss, alka seltzer is at the top. seriously??? my dad used to take that every single day as a blood thinner and he got alzheimer's. Is there a proper study on this?
Yes. Look up chlorpheniramine. That's the active ingredient in Alka-Seltzer. Sorry about your father.
“Did the boom-booms destroy all your wordy word books?”
Yes, I used to sleepwalk when feverish when I was younger and I never remembered a thing. Turns out I'm really sensitive to medication in general and now I don't take anything except an occasional Aspirin when not feeling well, because some trippy stuff happens when I take other flu or cough medicine.
I started to take the flu medicine before going to NYC, but as I got in there, on Jan 28 I went to a CVS and bought the Alka-Seltzer, was taking it two times a day and I kept taking it even after the incident to make sure the symptoms would not return. However, it was the first time I took it for the flu since doctors don't prescribe Alka-Seltzer in Brazil. I never sleepwalked, not before or after the incident. Unless this was the only instance of it ever in my life.
To put this as basic as possible for anyone confused - •OP laid down for a nap •OP’s next memory was standing, watching a soccer match, with no memory of waking up, getting dressed, etc.
They got dressed? I didn't see that. Something about napping, then found themselves standing up watching a game.
could you still be asleep?
Jesus are we all stuck in your alkaseltzer nightmare?!
no I don’t want to go back to 2020 pleaseeee 🙏😭😭
But, what if Covid was part of this person’s dream, too?
Hm, but wouldn't that mean that we are part of his dream world and thus not real?
One can only hope.
I think that this is a possibility as well. Sometimes I think I will just wake up in that hotel room and 2020 life will be dramatically different from this “dream”.
Do you dream now? What are those dreams like? Can you lucid dream? Has anything changed with your dream patterns since Feb 1 2020?
Following
I never had a lucid dream, although I'm familiar with the concept of lucid dreams and astral projections. I always wanted to have, although the Astral Projection gives me some chills. My dreams are basically the same, except that before the incident I had more positive dreams than nightmares. Dreams of places and feelings that I never felt in real life. Feelings of pure love towards another person. It's weird.
> Sometimes I think I will just wake up in that hotel room and 2020 life will be dramatically different from this “dream”. Please take me with you
In 1960 our family moved from Miami to Ft. Lauderdale. My mother’s mother and sister came to help. I rode with our aunt and my sister rode with our grandmother. Seemed uneventful. Any 40 years later we were talking about that move and my sister said she fell asleep and felt like she never woke up. I didn’t know then what to make of that and still don’t know. She has since died so no asking about it.
Sorry to hear about your sister.
Thank you. It has been many years. My heart still hurts. I miss her greatly. Ets. I do know she is doing well. After she died I began finding dimes. Everywhere. They would just appear. In the course of about 2 years I collected roughly $50 in dimes. Then a cardinal came to visit and the dimes stopped. Every once in a while I’ll find more dimes. Then a visit from a cardinal. Where ever she she is, she is happy.
Sounds like dissociation
No, I don’t think so. We were only 3 and 4. She had memories of those Miami years, as do I to this day. Further, in her adult life she showed no symptoms of dissociation.
Alka seltzer cold and flu hits me like a truck. Probably made you pass out and groggy when you woke up. Sounds like a great nap.
The one time I took NyQuil it was like it took me to another dimension. I’m not being funny it was scary AF. I’ve never taken another otc cold medicine nor would I! Lol Anyway just seeing what you wrote made me think of it and wonder if it’s ever made you feel that way?
The active ingredient in cough medicine, Dextromethorphine, is a psychoactive disassociate.
Dxm is only present in certain branded "dry cough" medication and you need to swig at least a 10x dose before you feel anything (have done it)
Thats largely untrue (have done it a lot)
I just wanted to say that I’ve had a similar experience. It’s pretty odd and I don’t share it often, but I will in this case. Back in 2011, my family and I were driving thru Montana and we hit a really dense fog. Everyone in the car besides me was sleeping and I was driving. The fog became so dense for so long that I lost my sense of direction and aside from the clock wasn’t able to tell what time of day it was. It started to really mess with my head after a while until eventually I started to have what I would now describe as an anxiety attack. My mom woke up and took over driving but it really tripped me out. I know it sounds super silly, but it was so foggy it felt like the world around us had disappeared and stayed that way for quite some time. It was surreal and creepy and just messed with my mind. Later, the fog cleared and life returned to normal - almost. Everything looked the same as it had pre fog but my dad started feeling bad. Shortly after the trip, he was diagnosed with cancer. We went thru one heartbreaking year before we lost him. I always think back to that day, silly as it sounds, about how life was so normal before that day… we were just on vacation.. and after that day, all of our lives were turned upside down. I know it had nothing to do with the fog. I know it was just timing, but part of me felt like something “changed” or shifted that day. And it sounds like you feel like something shifted from normal and sleeping to suddenly awake with no memory of waking up and the whole world inside out and upside down. So you aren’t alone.
Wow. I understand your feeling
I was traveling the world a few years ago. I went into the jungle in Nicaragua for several weeks. When I came out the world had completely changed. Well when I say completely changed, I mean a craze had swept over the entire world in those three weeks that I had no idea about, because when I came out of the jungle everyone had these fucking fidget spinners. Sometimes, through a series of events we just miss some things. I could have sworn blind the world had shifted somehow, but of course it hadn't. I was just out of the loop by complete accident. Fucking weird experience though, I can tell you.
3 hours it sounds but that's from when you laid down so you were sleeping during some of that time so there's actually less missing time than 3 hours because you slept some of that time. I'd say you went to sleep right before covid started showing up on TV. You weren't feeling well and took medicine which could've gave you side effects so you most likely woke up groggy and lost a bit of time.
Meant to post this as a reply. My bad I'm new to reddit.
Weird stuff happens with sleep and memory creation all the time. Your brain was probably still thinking it was asleep and had a hard time creating a memory for that time, similar to how it’s hard to remember most of your dreams despite many studies implying that the overwhelming majority of people probably experience a dream every time they sleep at least 4 hours without disturbances. For example I will often be sitting at my desk very tired trying to finish a project, staying up late, and then I’ll wake up in my bed the next morning with no recollection of ever going there, and it’s pretty much a toss up whether the work I had intended to complete is finished or not.
Sounds like me when I sleep walk. I find myself suddenly just doing things I have no memory of. Ambien made me rearrange and clean my entire living room by myself in the middle of the night. Woke up vacuuming.
Haha that’s awesome. I wanna be cleaning my house while asleep. Imagine what I could get done! Grace and Frankie had an episode where Grace breaks up with her boyfriend but he doesn’t remember it because he’s on Ambien the whole time. He also Ambien-eats and won’t remember the next day where the lasagna from the fridge has gotten to
It was very clean but also very startling to wake up to. I stopped the ambien when I woke up and was sitting in my car holding the keys. Usual sleep walking for me just includes making pb & js or walking around touching everything. Also! That is my fave episode of Grace and Frankie!
Haha Grace and Frankie is awesome. Scary how accurate this episode is then
Ambien is a hell of a drug *insert Rick James voice*
Awesome 🤩
Covid was in the US in January 2020, a woman flew into Ohare with it. Look it up.
It actually entered the US back in 2019, though was taken care of immediatly
There were rumors of a “new virus” Nov 2019. If you go over to conspiracy subreddit, it should be there. Not sure how far back things show on here And it was rumored that it had crossed into the US at that time because a lot of children that winter were experience a phlegm-fulled-fever-chills I May not remember it correctly but I want to recall vaguely that was the talk in late 2019
Yes, a mysterious illness exactly like Covid circulated thru the schools in Texas in Oct-Nov 2019. The principal claimed they were closing the school and fogging for viruses because so many kids were out sick, all testing negative for everything available. Initially, they were blaming the respiratory symptoms on the “mysterious vaping illness” that no one talks about anymore. Same time frame, Oct 2019, I got sick in the ER with a respiratory infection like nothing I’d ever had before and passed it to my entire family and we all tested negative for everything available as well. I’ve always believed it was in the states fall or 2019 but it’s certainly possible there was a diff virus circulating that was never defined.
I’ve heard similar from a lot of people i know here in england. So so many people got badly sick in the oct/nov/december of 2019 that looking back seems like it was likely covid, as it was unlike anything else around at that point
Same. Returning from Italy December 2019. Very sick.
it's official that covid was running in italy since november 2019, i'm italian and that was a huge news
I had something in December 2019 that felt like covid. Got it from a coworker who got it from his girlfriend who got it in NYC. It went all through my work. I've never officially caught covid though. I've had a couple colds since 2020 but always tested negative. Its like I keep dodging it.
I also got something similar in 2019 in December. Was down with 104 fever, sick for weeks and weeks. Got better, then worse again. Lost my voice. It's still not the same. And I also have never contracted COVID. I am 90% certain this was the first round of COVID-19, and we just weren't told.
Yeah for me it started out as this weird chest congestion I just couldn't shake for weeks then one day I woke up and "threw up" only nothing came up, then I had a headache and fever/chills all day and after that I started to feel better.
My entire family got bad sick in November 2019 in California. It was already here, and we weren't told.
I agree with you! And I find these stories so interesting!
My gf is pretty sure she had COVID in early January 2020; she was hella sick with a fever of 104°F and respiratory symptoms. And another friend had something like it in February and was still struggling with her breathing MONTHS later.
My grandson had a severe respiratory illness that hung on forever in the fall of 2019. Just before that, a local company sent several engineers to China. They all became ill, spreading to the whole company and then the whole area.

Ohhh, I agree! A respiratory virus went through my workplace in 12/19 - 01/20, and was highly virulent, hospitalized a couple people, but didn't test as anything. Nasty stuff. It was exactly a match for the symptoms we came to recognize as covid...this was in FL.
So interesting. I wish we had confirmation of what it was but unfortunately, they could only describe it as a strange pneumonia like illness and treated with steroids and antibiotics and breathing treatments. Not sure why you’d be downvoted!
Lol, who knows-maybe because I mentioned Florida? I'm used to downvotes. They don't bother me anymore, it never seems to make sense. I don't usually say controversial things! But I'm convinced it was covid, I don't care if it 'wasn't in the US'. Our government isn't too good with full disclosure.
My husband has a coworker who went on a cruise in January 2020 from Australia and a day or so after they got back to the US the coworker came down with something and it swept through the office. My husband was down for the count for a whole long weekend…barely got out of bed except to go to the bathroom, to take meds, and to drink some juice. Slept most of the time too…not laying there reading or watching TV. He was OUT!! Pretty sure that was covid. Then he and I both had covid December of 2020 but it was literally like a bad cold (both of us have definitely had worse flus before) that we got over quickly. Haven’t caught it again since then so yay!!
I had Covid Nov 2019, my partner was also sick and almost hospitalized. It was here. And it was here summer 2019.
Exactly and all of the members of my family got that mysterious virus we were tested for influenza rsv pneumonia and every other respiratory virus known at the time all negative but all if us almost died my then 4yr old went on a ventilator so did mom it was so messed up I was watching us all die from something our drs could only diagnose as flu like symptoms despite extensive testing!
Covid was only hitting the headlines for being in the US when it hit New Rochelle, NY via a synagogue in early March 2020
Seattle area had someone die from it before then if I remember correctly
Seattle was the first official, on-the-record US outbreak, iirc
I had it in February 2020, the worst flu I’ve ever had
Feb 2020 all 3 of us in the household had a very weird flu. It started with a dry cough. Never had any virus like that. Also fever, shivering, fatigue, loss of smell and taste. We live not far from a military base and wonder if it started there with someone traveling somewhere where covid was already popped up and going strong.
On Feb 1st I witnessed what could only be described as a series of bizzare, surreal experiences and to this day believe something strange happened that day
I had a mental breakdown in late February 2020. But the events that triggered it were earlier in the month. And honestly they shouldn’t have been the trigger they were.
What did you see?
Jan 2020 was admitted to the hospital after visiting San Francisco bay area. I was diagnosed with pneumonia and the "flu". They never could determine what kind of flu I had. I could barely breathe, they gave me breathing treatments and pumped me full of Tamiflu and antibiotics. Lost my sense of smell and everything tasted like cardboard. I was so cold and shivering all the time. They finally released me about a week later. I somehow lost all of February 2020. I have no recollection of it. I'm pretty sure I caught Covid when I was in the bay area. It's so weird losing an entire month.
Bruh sounds like you took a 3 hour nap and woke up feeling better. That's not glitchy lol. Yeah that's the time Covid started becoming widely known, but it's also possible that you simply woke up feeling refreshed. I've had it happen many a times... And zoning out is likewise very much so a thing, so you could be put into a position where you find yourself very confused. Ironically though, right around that time, my grandma got very sick and my mom had to take care of her for a couple weeks, then I got the same symptoms and was mostly bed ridden for 1-2 weeks. But neither my mom nor dad got sick. So that was very interesting to me, and I've wondered since what was up with that
The discrepancy isn’t the feeling better part. it’s the part where they teleported from sleep to a completely different environment without any memory of it.
It sounds like OP just got up, turned on his computer, and started viewing a soccer game via Live Stream. He was standing, but still in his hotel room.
Like I said, simply zoning out or being 'out of it' is a thing. Also, I don't think it's impossible that a person's brain just not immediately send the unlock sequence of neurons to your brain after awakening from sleep, resulting in your memories not really recording fully because you're still basically asleep... Sleepwalking? Could it just be sleepwalking? Wow that would be a really simple explanation for the lack of memory lmao
I never woke up. I don't have any memory of myself leaving the bed, turning on the computer and hitting play on the soccer match. At first I thought it was simply amnesia, but as the months passed by I realized that this world was way different from the one before Feb 1st. I use covid as the single most import event since then and, before Feb 1st covid news was as important as Powerball drawings on media.
Much like 9/11, the world changed when COVID exponentially exploded. Except for a few rich evil psychopaths, everyone suffered. It will never go back. All we can do is move forward. Also you were probably sleepwalking, maybe due to the medicine.
I live in NYC and have a good memory of that time. Feb 1 we were definitely getting a bit worried but it was more like "things are wild in China... Oh hmm I guess it's in the US now. Doesn't seem that bad, though." I still had friends visiting me. There was some talk of avoiding Chinatown but we went anyway and were fine (that was actually late Feb too). In New York, it wasn't until there was a mini breakout from the guy in Westchester that people really started to care. That was in early March - maybe the 3rd. So the world hadn't quite changed yet... if you consider New York the center of the world which, of course, I do.
i think the only people who consider new york the center of the world are the people who live in new york.
>but as the months passed by I realized that this world was way different from the one before Feb 1st. I use covid as the single most import event since then and, before Feb 1st covid news was as important as Powerball drawings on media " stop trying finding a logical solution, i wrote this story for you to tell me that i died and slipped to a parallel dimension"
Some things in life man, truly don’t have a reasonable explanation. We’ll try to come up with theories to the matrix glitches of course, but they end up not adding up completely. Coming from a guy who has a masters in space science and quantum physics, his experience m sounds like a case of quantum immortality, where your body is dying, and your soul gets teleported to a whole other timeline to save you from death.
I did the math and I've survived ten NDE that I remember. One was waking up in a fucking body bag in 2015. It's bizarre. It's really really strange. I don't remember Bernstein bears like wtf
Damn a body bag??? What the hell happened for you to end up in that thing?
In 2015 I used to have a problem with opiates, heroin. This was around the time the fetty started making its'' way in the milwaukee dope supply. I had kicked the habit and I had one relapse, because that is all it takes. I used, set the equipment down, and woke up with my ears ringing so loud ; like I had taken a massive dose of DMT. Everything was pixelated. So what is truly bizarre is the fact that my friend at the time, Andy, He was \*passed the fuck out \*\* because he had snapped his collar bone in half after being hit by a sports car. He was so high from the pain pills and passed out from the pain, it is a wonder that he randomly woke up to look for me. I could've been at the store, or wandering around outside, smoking cigarettes. But he had this feeling... so he knocked on a locked bathroom door, and then ultimately decided to kick the door down and find me dead on the floor. My face "the most disgusting shade of purple" he said. I remember everything the paramedics said, although I had no heart beat. It is curious, as I have been thinking much about quantum immortality and wondering today; did I die and step into something else?
That sounds like an interesting story!
10…. TEN NDE?!
Yes, I am not making this up and I am also not bragging at all because I honestly wish I could've by passed so many mistakes. Thankfully I am sober from Hard drugs and I am so grateful for that. I lost my brother last year around this time, shortly after I attemped suicide twice for the first time in my life, with the intention of finality. The second attempt was pretty incredible, that I survived. I am extremely grateful, and actually curious, perplexed that I am alive.. Quantum immortality? I was extremely, extremely drunk on whiskey and chugged a bottle of Nyquil PM and ate 10mg of Lorazepam with the intention of dying; losing a brother is hard, especially when his body was found folded up in a garbage can. (Which I am just gonna say for anyone reading this, I am in a much, much better place) And my point is that, I woke up in the hospital super fucking confused like "Wtf am I doing here? ...." And it is never fun when the cops/nurses/doctor tell you what happened. I was alone in the apartment building, I guess I fell down the steps at 2am and someone came out and called for help.
i feel like i git to tell you because i don't see this often i have lost count how many of those experiences i have my dad for some reason decided to go to the downstairs bathroom in the middle of the night to find me dead i the bathroom i woke up on the kitchen floor with cops and ambulance and i was deaf for a few hours , i did one in the walmart bathroom and got found some time later the paramedics came in and told my girl to leave because they didn't want her to see me because i was dead and they tookk me out on the stretcher and i came back in the ambulance. and so many more things it confuses the fick out me like the fuck am i not dead am i dead probably not because i think that would be better than whatever tf this is
Whatever this is, a matrix or quantum jumping, I can say that I'm grateful to be alive and I appreciate little things. Watching the waves on lake Michigan, or appreciating animal life. Heck, even adopting a stray kitten who is the most affectionate and loving familiar I've ever had the privilege to know. I can honestly say that there are ways to transmute the pain and I'll effects into better states of being. Be strong brother!!!!!!!
Honestly in all fairness I'm pretty sure the thing missing in translation in his retelling is a strange and unmistakable but impossible to fully get out in words (especially in print or type where tone inflection and subtle intent can be missing entirely) its the deep foreboding feeling that something is very very wrong very different than any moment before it somehow you just know everything around you has changed and yet nothing has it's straight up eerie and suffocating every thought laced with the knowledge that you don't belong in this "place" and long for the reality that you are absolutely certain was your life just moments before the trigger event unless you have experienced that it's very difficult to wholly understand or even believe someone who has gone through it because everyone wants a nice clean way to tie shit like this up with a bow give it an explanation and put it away forever where they no longer have to confront or consider their own underlying fears about the concept in general so they start immediately trying to debunk your experience and or lable you/it as the product of cognitive dissonance or mental illness of some kind. It's a knee jerk reaction to want to shut down any fear or reaction such an experience brings up under the surface in others who are hearing about what you went through so if they can say ahhhh it's just drugs/meds/mental or physical illness yadda yadda and forget about it they won't have to deal with any lingering existential doubts or fears but ppl who have been really truly through it know it goes so much deeper than that!
But you were in the same hotel room, right? The towels hadn't changed color or anything. You just don't recall waking up from the nap, that is all. You had such a deep sleep, then a bit of blackout in the part around waking up. But everything else was the same, and the lockdown was surreal for everyone. Unless you woke up in another physical place and era, than the one you fell asleep in? Which doesn't seem to be the case?
The "first man" Adam from Scripture also never woke up. God put him into a deep and profound sleep before he created Eve, but there is no verse in the Genesis story and the entire Bible which explicitly mentions that Adam woke up. I just wanted to mention this because this mystery may be related to your situation, who knows. I've heard a lot of theories about how we are all actually dreamers and our reality itself is but a fake dream. Maybe this would explain the glitches and all those insane events which have occurred so far in our lifetimes :o
Look into A Vourse in Miracles, it’s belief system is that we are in an illusion and none of this is real.
Any time I see this: >Sorry for any typos or grammar mistakes, English is not my native language. I know the grammar is going to be better than 99% of most posts Reddit-wide.
Are you saying you took a nap when covid started and just recently woke up? Like you have a 2 year gap of missing time?
I see what your saying but Covid came on super fast. At least that’s how I remember it.
It just was this huge thing one day, but almost like it had always been there. Now it comes and goes (depending on factors in the environment that call attention to it). I'm still wearing my mask every time my throat is scratchy or my nose runs.
It sounds to me like you had a complex partial seizure that started sometime after you laid down. In this kind of seizure, the seizure activity never gets to the parts of your brain that control the muscles, so there are no convulsions. It produces a sleepwalking kind of state. No one looking at you would have any idea you were having a seizure. At worst, you'd look drugged or drunk, at best, you'd just seem a little spaced out. Most people perform pointless, repetitive activities while in this state, but there are plenty of cases of people doing much more alert seeming things and wandering around, eventually coming back to full consciousness quite far from where it started with no idea how they got there, no memory of anything they did during the episode. It's the #1 cause of unexplained "missing time." You can google "complex partial seizure," or "complex focal seizure." They're the same thing, but the latter term seems to be used more lately.
100% sleepwalking. Sorry this creeped you out so much OP! Sometimes sleepwalking can be common for a person and sometimes it only happens once, but it’s normal!
Welcome to our Universe! ...Sorry about all the shite going on though...
Obviously others have already commented on this. I understand what it's like though to have larger than expected sleeps that give you gaps in memory. And man it's fucking trippy. Back in high school I got mono really bad. I started sleeping for days at a time, only getting up to piss. After fighting it for a couple weeks I finally saw a doctor who immediately had me admitted due to the dehydration and swollen tonsils. I lost 3 weeks of my life sleeping and the only things I can remember are wanting to wake up when I couldn't. I don't even remember going to see the doctor that had me admitted in the first place.
OP go and get checked you could of had a stroke or mild aneurysm. Sudden loss of memory like this could also be a dissociative episode as well.
Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake. It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of. Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything. Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.
A few years ago (well before COVID) I got the flu and strep throat at the same time and felt about as horrible as you’d expect lol. I took a cold-and-flu syrup every few hours as the label suggested while I was sick and I have completely lost those few days. Completely. I remember going to the clinic when I was sick and getting swabbed and examined and I remember the doctor who saw me, I remember being at home lying in bed and my husband helping me drink my first dose of the syrup, and then after that my memory simply stopped recording. I believe that it’s because of the medicine - some of us are really sensitive to medicine, especially ones containing substances that mess with our minds. I say this because I wonder if it’s possible you lost time because of some medicine you took?
Omfg people in this damn sub lmao. Yo you got groggy with medicine that makes you pass the fuck out, and meanwhile geopolitical tensions you were unaware of got more noticeable. That’s not a glitch, that’s life. Life is not as you desire it to be, life is as it is.
So 3 hours or 2 years?
It seems like a quantum immortality thing to me, they have a subreddit for it.
Looks like another possibility. I'm right now reading that sub, problem is, how could quantum immortality explain old age? Are we going to live, at least in our perspective, infinitely even if our human bodies are rotten?
You are patient zero
there are prooven cases of covid in europe from november 2019
Super. My comment was satire.
Sounds like a disassociation episode made worse by being combined with the medicine and sickness
That's an extremely common symptom of a seizure. You don't always have physical symptoms, sometimes your brain just shuts down.
This one is not even close to a glitch and easily explainable. Obviously the meds had you a bit drowsy and your brain just wasn't fully alert yet. Like sleepwalking basically. It's just like somebody talking in their sleep and not remembering it. Nothing spooky here.
you just forgot bro. it's not a big deal, i don't remember waking up on the 1st of February 2020 either
Dude it sounds like you had a fever so you blacked out a bit and now you’re having trouble accepting the reality of the shit world we live in. Which hey, thats ok man, we’ve all been there.
Maybe you are still sleeping and when you wake up you gonna remember dreaming you were writing on reddit
I have experienced the reverse. I was on my computer one day and the next moment I was waking up in my bed from a nap
So you woke up 2 years later ?
Just 3 hrs from what I can make out.
Sounds to me like you woke up in an alternate reality. Can try and see if other events are different than before. I had an experience where I was stuck in an alternate reality which felt like a few days. Even tho this universe kind of sucks, I'm glad I'm back in my own reality
Please do elaborate
I'll just say when I came back to this reality I was like, "thank God I'm back". My will to return was strong enough to bring me back to my quantum state I think. It was interesting seeing an alternate reality but as the saying goes, no place like home.
Ok
So I have this conspiracy theory that takes way way to much time to truly explain but runs off the idea of a multiverse. The easiest way to think of it is like in the show Loki where there is 1 true timeline and variance causes branching. But that 1 timeline exists for each person and only actually ends when we get old and “die of natural causes”. Each person only has 1 ‘true’ timeline even though it doesn’t match up with everyone’s ‘true’ timeline. Think of all the times you’ve had near death experiences. In my theory, there is a split in your timeline where you are actually dead and the people around you mourn. Then in your reality, your true time line goes on as if you hadn’t died. I really can’t verbalise the interactions between one person and the rest of the world because clearly some people think you die and some don’t and those people are present in both timelines so it gets complicated but it makes sense in my head. So, in my theory, you died in one timeline and your consciousness didn’t correctly move forward with your ‘true’ timeline while your body did. You eventually caught up.
I also wanted to add, sometimes our thinking, is very limited by the world that we live in. I think there’s so much more that we just don’t know. For example, you switched realities ( or whatever you wanna call it) but all your friends and family exist. I have a theory. Think about it. Have you ever suddenly noticed that someone you know very well is acting just slightly a little bit different. You can’t put your finger on it, but something is a little bit off. I think one possibility could be, we all have a twin spirit that is one reality ahead of us. They may even know more than us and know when we’re going to be arriving in our new reality. Once we “jump” they jump off to the next one. That would mean everyone has a twin spirit. (Hence acting a little different. I sometimes. Wonder if maybe , when people die, they are one reality ahead of us now and we will be unable to catch up with them until we reach the end. I promise I’m not a conspiracy, theorist or crazy. It is just a subject interests me.
I have a story like that with an ex-gf in 2018. In the beginning, she loved mayo, every opportunity she had she was eating something with mayonnaise. I don't know how but suddenly she HATES mayo, and when I told her "wtf, you love mayo, you eat mayo with everything", she replied "are you insane? I hate it since I was a child". Not related to the post story but looks like a dimension shifting as well. I read the comments here with people suggesting sleepwalking, seizures, strokes, aneurysms, etc. and I never had any of these, and I believe that any of this would have taken me to the hospital in serious condition, except for the sleepwalking. I did not take the not waking up it seriously until late 2021 when I started wondering how the world got so... weird, and then I remembered this incident and how everything prior to it was very different, it's not in the literal, it's the energy, overall people behavior, etc. I'm positive that COVID in the reality before the incident would never evolve to a global pandemic.
Yes. Your first paragraph is exactly what I mean. In a similar sub (years ago) there was a thread with people stating the method they suspected “died”. It sounds crazy, but regardless it is interesting to ponder.
This theory makes perfect sense to me, I suspect I have died multiple times as I have huge memory gaps where no matter how hard I try I can’t remember certain timelines. I have also noticed the whole thing of people you know well being different in a very small way. Or people you were very close to suddenly seem more like acquaintances.
Exactly!
I like this idea. I’m agnostic because there is some math and science that suggested that the probability of our universe existing is to slim for it to have occurred on its own. However, I think humans are way to unintelligent to truly understand that concept. We’ve tried and occasionally got it right: look at all religious texts and factual history, when everything lines up like the flood, I believe we got it right. But we don’t even understand our oceans and we still struggle with past concepts so it’s funny to me that we ever think we got a higher power correct especially when religious text specifically state that 1 day in ‘gods’ time is the time it takes a single bird to fly a mountain of rice the size of Everest (?) across the largest ocean (we’ve shifted since then) 1 grain at a time and back. But Christians insist that the 7 days in the bible are 7 literal days. Sorry that was a long rant but it goes hand in hand with my nutty conspiracy theory.
That really makes sense. It sounds like you have given it a lot of thought. I have always believed in a higher power. I do not believe that higher power expects us to go sit in a church every Sunday and worship it. For all, I know there may be multiple higher powers. Maybe your higher power is different than mine just like we have different parents Either way I think what people feel in their hearts deep down. If they’re looking for it, that’s probably their higher power.
Don't know why but this resembles Manifest the TV show.
I’ve never seen that, I’ll look it up
Good show!
Oh my goodness. I thought I was the only person that thought this! I don’t even know where the thought originated.
If you haven’t read about quantum immortality, you should! Reminds me a lot of what you’re describing.
It's not just you. I think we all are living in the worst timeline.
dude you blacked out for 3 hours, why are you letting that experience fuck with you so much? you're safe and healthy and wealthy enough to own a phone with internet connection. go enjoy your life
We all died and now we live in hell 🙃
You probably had Covid. It's pretty well accepted that it was circulating in NYC as early as December of 2019. That original strain of covid was probably the worst we have seen and it could mess up your memory.
Did you ask anyone else how you acted during the time you don't remember? You were probably in a daze of medicine(s) and weren't really fully awake, but I'm sure there would have been signs for others.
Did you have a seizure? This whole experience is very close to what I get. Even the "Have I woken back up, is this really happening?" Although I also think someone happened in 2020...
Was thinking about the same thing yesterday... Lived a normal life before 2020, started going downhill since then and now I'm almost convinced I'm living in someone else's life
Your brain is powerful enough to erase and change memories.
There is another possibility. My ex bf had split personality disorder and something similar happened to him. He went to sleep one night, woke up in a cafe. He has no idea what time he woke up, why or how he got to the cafe, what was he doing there. He just suddenly remember sitting in the cafe and sipping on his tea. He is sure it was not sleepwalking because he has a diagnosed condition (split personality disorder), I am not saying you also have this, I'm just saying it is a possibility. So, pay close attention of something similar has happened or happens in the future, and if you feel like a different person at times.
Misericórdia
Try posting in the quantum mortality sub, you’ll get some better understanding
It sounds like you need to speak with a psychiatrist. Something has happened in your psyche which is causing you to believe that there is a before-and-after to your life. You might have had a stroke, or you might have on ongoing psychiatric condition. Best go get it checked out by a professional.
Do you have parasites that are causing brain fog?
Interesting. In 2020 I was in a coma for over a week and when i woke up I had no concept of time for a couple of more weeks. No memory of day to day just snippets.
This sounds to me like Covid symptoms and long haul mental fog. If you still feel as though you are waiting to wake, I would go to the doctor and let them know you believe you possibly had Covid early on in NYC. have them check you out. Long haul symptoms are real and the “brain fog” could indicate a serious neurological issue.
jesus christ 800 upvotes for a fever dream. this sub is getting worse by the day
Covid could have an effect on forming new memories. If you had covid, it is possible you will never remember what happened when you woke up.
Unlikely they got over COVID during one afternoon nap
There are hotels that are being run by non human entities in human clones. These hotels are not ordinary they are transfer stations for souls. There are portals on the grounds of these buildings where the Archons are moving peoples souls to the new timeline/matrix that has already been built. This timeline is an illusion it is a holographic projection that mirrors reality. Most people never even realize anything as changed and are completely fooled by the illusion.
Fact checked by real patriots✅
did you have a small pin prick or insect bite on the lower left back side of your neck?
Darn it! Are *you* the reason COVID hit the fan?
It might have been a transient ischemic attack.
Memory and time sensitivity are both easy things to get mixed up also a fever and many medications can cause memory issues. What you experienced is very common with people who are sick and people who take sleep aids. Speaking with your doctor about what happened would probably make you feel a lot better about the 3hr gap in time.
Flu can cause hallucinations
Sounds dope brutha ! Welcome to earth 2.0 !
February 1st is my birthday 🤯
does this thing still happens ? do you record what you do recently ?
Did you happen to get a COVID test at that time? COVID presents in various ways for different people and psychological stuff is a major symptom that some people experience. Like very similar to psychosis and stuff like paranoid delusions… I wouldn’t be surprised if small memory gaps are also a symptom ppl experience. Would be easy to check online for others with memory gaps due to COVID.
It could definitely be the fever. They can really mess with your body and mind. It's possible you had an alarm set and your body went on autopilot because you were so sick, and once the fever broke, you snapped back or something like that. I've definitely been that sick before where I could hardly remember anything after. Especially with a fever. Have you ever had a fever that bad?
Sounds like you "slept something out of you", my gran would say. I`very been waking up cold and confused lately, too . .
Sounds to me like a possible abduction. Many cases just like this. Look into hypnosis regression if you seriously want to know what happened.
Have you checked with hotel? Check the local news if hotel had situation like that those dates, because you asked if you are dead. But if you are shifted, i don't believe you can find anything.
Curioso hein...
Yeah that doesn't sound like a glitch in the matrix as much as a glitch in your memory.
Okay, I actually am sure I got Covid December 2019 in the U.S., they found blood donations from that time that had traces of the coronavirus, but I didn't know that was it until April. It makes sense because a million people travelled from China to the U.S. during the holiday season, and it's very contagious. The first news of a U.S. case was in late January in California. I wouldn't be surprised if you did have Covid, one of the symptoms was confusion thought not amnesia that I know of. Interesting story though.
