[MOTU] Your own inexplicable experiences

Great thread!

I've had some weird experiences, actually a few. The interesting part of it is that alot of things happen when my glasses are off (as was pointed out to me-I hadnt seen the connection (pardon the pun :-)). Anyways, I still see the things clearly (without my glasses)....my minds eye? I dunno...

Anyways,

- Once just woke up and just started crying (at about 14 years old) to a very sad feeling. Few mins later phone rang to say my Aunts husband had passed away. That one puzzled me cause I wasnt close to my Aunt or her husband.

- The biggest, overwhelming feeling Ive had was about my granny (lots of lovely granny stories here :-)). She died on a Tuesday in 1997. I was very very close to her. And I spent as much time with her as I could. But Id started uni that September and was working part-time too, and hadnt seen as much of her as I'd liked. Anyways, on a Monday eve (night before she died), I was sitting at the kitchen table doing Uni work, and got an unreal, almost compulsion, feeling to go and see her.

So, I dropped everything. And drove up to see her. l couldnt understand at the time....She was talking away to me. But I was so distracted/almost detached. I was just staring at something stupid on the TV (I know now it was some kind of avoidance on my part). Anyways, I said Id to go. And I hugged her (Im not a hugger by nature) and thought "this is the last time Ill speak to her".

I drove out the driveway and saw her standing at the door to see me off and thought "the last time Ill see my granny alive is in the rear view mirror of my car". I didnt know where all this was coming from. But I felt I shouldnt say anything. It was her time to go. Phone rang next evening. My mam answered. And before she'd a chance to say anything, I just said "Granny's died and she's ok". My mam said "no, she's ok, they are getting an ambulance and she'll be ok". My reaction was "yeah whatever" I went to wash my hair :-) to get "ready". The next call was to say she was dead, and I was in the middle of washing my hair. Miss that woman like crazy. Anyways, I got a little stick from relatives after for not saying anything...Id been the last to see her/spend time with her (she just dropped dead while walking off a bus into the old folks home for a party :-)), and all I could say was "it was her time" and I was not to interfer. The following evening, my dad said the kindest thing to me ever (a man of few words) as I was more upset about people being upset at me than my granny dying (i.e., I knew she was fine/happy). And my dad said "you were a tonic. You visiting her helped her".

The next night, we were all up after the pub. About 10 people smoking in the kitchen. And I was sitting there. Smoking myself. And I get this over whelming smell of flowers. Pure flowers. As fresh as anything. Very fleeting. And I asked did anyone smell it. Noone else did.

There have been more strange "feelings" and seeing things. I once kept seeing an image in my head. For weeks. I thought it was something Id seen on TV, as I couldnt rationalise why I kept seeing this thing. Anyways, one day I was with a particular person and the feeling got strong to say something to them. So, I said "listen, you might think am mad, but would you know why the image of "this particular thing" keeps coming into my head". The person went pale as a ghost. And told me I was after stumbling on a massive unknown secret. They then confided in me (as they felt they'd noone to talk to). And I helped them sort the problem.

Gosh-there is lots more. Just a few weeks ago, I was at home. Doing nothing in particular. I have a swiss ball. The ball, of its own accord just started rolling across the floor (not so unusual I hear you say), but it then stopped and bounced. Then rolled back to where it came from .

Oh I havent even started on the stuff without my glasses.....

The thing is, I still dunno if I believe in paranormal. Or accept it.

I've had a few. But most recent was this dream I had last week. I got talking to a guy online a few months ago who lives in the US, and we haven't talked in a few weeks but I had a dream about him the other night. In the dream, I was watching TV and saw him on a music video, and I recall saying 'I know him!'. I saw him on chat over the weekend and messaged to tell him about it, and he goes 'wooah, I just recorded a music video last week'. Was a bit odd, especially since he'd never spoken to me about doing it!

This sounds to me like "Lucid Dreaming" especially the heaviness on the chest feeling:eek:

Sleep paralysis, lucid dreaming is something else. This is a fairly standard set of sleep paralysis symptons. Unpleasant, but not supernatural.
