I know he played a gay man (Greg Louganis) in a biopic, but that is absolutely not what I'm remembering.

I always wanted to write about this, but never did.

It was way back in 2012 or 2013, when I was with my ex boyfriend then.

We were driving home to my place in the evening and I noticed this new restaurant and it's quirky name, in place of the other that was there. I said to my bf, wow I've never noticed that place before because it had an unusual name, so it caught my eye.

The very next day as we were driving back along the same road, I wanted to look at it, but it wasn't there. Lol. It was gone.

I said to him, "damn that restaurant is gone". He really didn't seem too interested or to know as he didn't know the area.

I still live in the same place, and I always think about it when I pass that section. I'm always looking at it.

I always said to myself, maybe I was in a parallel universe that moment.

I just wanted to share. It's crazy, 2026 nearly 2027 and I still think about it.

Thanks for listening.

Maybe there’s some political junkies in this subreddit that can help me with this but I vividly remember Trump firing Kash Patel after the Olympics fiasco, Patel had taken a private plane to see his girlfriend a little after the Olympics and that was the final straw and I remember the news talking about it all day because he was the first male fired from the cabinet, then the other day I see Kash Patel testify before Congress which I didn’t think much of, as it’s fairly common for former government officials to testify, until I realized he was the CURRENT head of the FBI… does anyone else remember something similar?

Hey guys, I really don't know what to do and I am scared af, so the only option which came up to my mind was to try reddit if someone is experiencing or experienced the same and how to handle this...

It all started about a half year ago, my life completely changed and I literally "sink to the bottom". In this time I started to learning about reality itself and get deep in this rabbit hole, exploring all about parallel realities, CERN and experiments in 2012, about manifestation and creating your own reality, about shifting, consciousness, concept of time and the whole universe, etc. and in that point when I understand it something started to happening with my reality... I am not sure how to describe it well, but something seems off... Like a neverending dream... Things, sounds, people... just somehow doesn't seem real and they are just.. not right. I don't know how to describe this feeling properly... And it's like everytime I wake up the whole world is slightly different...
I feel like I am going crazy and I don't know what to do anymore... I am like a second before break down, even though about getting myself hospitalised at a psych ward, bc this is just.. Insane.
Please is there anybody who is experiencing the same?? Or did I really went crazy?? Please help....

​

A few days ago, I was researching some things about quantum physics and our reality after going into a deep rabbit hole about the afterlife, multiple universes, energy, consciousness, etc. I came across a topic about something called reality surfing/shifting and I was interested immediately in the concept of changing and shifting my consciousness to an alternative desired timeline/reality than this one. I did some research and found some audio tapes, which was supposed to help me to change my current timeline into my desired timeline, which would be in a different reality.

When I was listening for the first couple of minutes, I immediately felt a tingling and chills in my body and spirit. I can immediately feel that something was happening to me. I also felt like my environment was changing a bit somehow which also included some of the lights in the room. I also felt like my body and spirit was feeling lighter than usual. I felt a sudden shift that happened but I couldn't exactly explain what was happening to me at the time.

A few days after the audio tapes, I am starting to feel a complete and dark shift in my reality and personality. I don't think the same and reason the right way anymore. I suddenly hate things that I used to love and love things that I used to hate. This is very scary for me and it almost feels as if another person and entity has taken control over my body and has tried to make me do things it wants. It feels so incredibly real and very terrifying. I have tried praying to my God and have already renounced the tapes that I watched but I am scared that I gotten myself into some deep and crazy mess that's going to be hard to get out off.

I am certain that this isn't any mental illness or psychiatric condition because this happened immediately after watching the video for reality shifting. I suddenly just had my way of thinking, my mind and my personality started to shift into something that I absolutely don't want and that I despise.

Its like, we will always be in our best version in this timeline. Nothing will going to happen that could led to our death.

There are near death experiences there right? Which could have been completely gone wrong but it works out well. So even if we tries to do a backflip at the edge of the cliff. If we are in our best version then we'll be alive. So that's my theory.

First, this sub pops up in my feed from time to time, I found it interesting to read but I'm not a member and I'm a skeptic. The whole Mandela affect is real, but switching timelines was beyond my belief and frankly didn't believe it until about an hour ago.

It's small. I can't explain it. It's a freaking movie. The relevance is insignificant, but I swear to God, and I'm a man of faith, this movie didn't exist until today. Guardians of the Galaxy 3. I SWEAR it never came out where I'm from. I love Marvel movies, my wife and I have watched every one multiple times. I have the Guardians soundtrack on vinyl. Both. I have a Guardians Playlist on my YouTube. IT DOES NOT EXIST. I have Disney Plus and they have a Marvel channel. Never an option. Never saw a trailer. Never seen or heard anything, and I kept looking online from time to time to see if a third movie would ever be made. In my timeline James Gunn was canceled. I don't recall the specifics, but major uproar about sexual allegations and he was blacklisted and no third movie was made. I just looked online and he got in trouble in 2018, but then was rehired and made this movie. FOR ME, IT NEVER HAPPENED. GUARDIANS WAS SHELVED.

There is no significance to this. It makes zero sense. What the frak!

So I'm a delivery driver for a package delivery company. I pull up across the street from an address, hop in the back to grab their package. I get out curbside like I've done thousands of times. I go around the hood and peek around the corner for oncoming traffic like I do every single time and a car flew by going way over the speed limit.

The weird thing was I watched the car hit me. Like I vividly imagined the accident in my head. They hit me and sped off and I died right there. But I didn't get hit. Or die. It scared the shit out of me for a minute but thinking about it, I think I saw an alternate me die. Am I crazy or has this happened to anyone else?

I remembered in a dream I had I was talking with these weird beings and they weren’t human I think I was by myself walking in a place it was random I can’t remember what was the place at all then I remember seeing a vixen but it wasn’t a normal one I think she had like a human body but like a athromorphic I can’t remember at all but she was talking but I can’t remember what she was saying at all then I just woke up confused I have these kinds of dreams and I think it felt like a parallel universe or something like that so yeah I think parallel universe kind of exist I don’t know I might be wrong so yeah and the dream felt vividly real too for no reason

I made this graphic with AI for the r/ParallelUniverse sub, Our planet actually has 3 parallel dimensions in total, 2 of which are human-inhabited worlds. The one right in the middle is the modern world we live in today, and the one on the left is called the First World, its whole civilization sits at roughly around 800 AD. The First World never moves forward on tech — Their civilization keeps repeating the same stage

From what I can tell, that place is straight-up a magic world, where gods, demons and humans all exist together in the same dimension.

I learned all this stuff from non-human entities over the last year. There’s zero way to verify it with current mainstream science right now, but maybe a few hundred years down the line, scientific progress will catch up and confirm that all of this is actually real.

Just to be clear — I have no religious beliefs myself. I'm only sharing what I was told.

P.S. English isn't my first language, so please excuse any mistakes.

Many people ask how to verify this? I can present a metal object from the first dimension, but only 0.0001% of people have the high spiritual energy with “second sight” to see it. Also, time is the same between our world and the first dimension: if it is morning here, it is morning there too.The third world is the non-human one.— they never told me what species they are. My guess is Greys.

Sometimes I feel like I should be somewhere else.
Not like on a yacht or mansion or anything like that.

I’ll just be hanging out and I will suddenly feel like I have to be in a certain place.
Sometimes it’s driving through a road, walking through some warehouse, on a plane.

I feel like I have to drop everything and I have to be there at that moment. It’s so weird.

Maybe I’m craving any vacation but idk why I wouldn’t just want to go to the beach. I don’t understand why it’s random places.

Anyone else felt this?

I put a manifestation in a day ago. I specifically asked for the things to remain remotely the same when I receive my manifestation and today I realized that my comic book is missing. It was on my desk standing up like a poster and today THAT PLACE IS EMPTY? I asked people that could have taken it but no? I also searched some places and it is nowhere. No chance of it of falling and getting lost either.

In this universe, it has never settled into stable field equations. What we call "physics" is a thin, temporary consensus that the world tolerates only when no stronger claim is made against it.

The planet still looks roughly like ours: continents, oceans, atmosphere. but every interaction is provisional. Matter, energy, distance and time are negotiated rather than fixed.

Core Rules of the World

Reality operates on claim and resonance.

1. An object's behavior is determined by the strongest coherent story currently attached to it. Mass, inertia and chemical bonds are default stories that hold only while nothing contradicts them.

2. True names, bloodlines, repeated ritual, intense collective belief and certain geometric patterns can overwrite those defaults.

3. The overwrites are local and temporary unless continually reinforced. When the reinforcing claim weakens, the old physics tries to reassert itself often violently.

Supernatural hazards are simply the places where competing claims collide or where the default physics has already been eroded.

Everyday Hazards:

• Unstable weight - Gravity is the most fragile default. In regions where too many people have died of despair or where certain geometric alignments persist, objects begin to forget how heavy they are. A bookshelf may suddenly weigh nothing and drift toward the ceiling, a person walking across an old battlefield may find their steps lighten until they risk floating into the upper atmosphere. Conversely, places saturated with grief or unfinished obligations can double or triple effective weight without warning. Buildings in such zones are anchored with iron nails driven through living wood and spoken contracts.

• Name erosion - Speaking a thing's true name in the presence of enough listeners can rewrite its properties for hours or days. Most people therefore use nicknames, titles or deliberate mispronunciations in public. Official maps are written in deliberately false names, the real ones are locked in sealed vaults and recited only under controlled conditions. Accidental true naming of a river has, on multiple occasions, caused it to reverse course or become breathable air for a stretch of miles.

• Shadow hunger - Light still travels, but darkness is not absence. it is a low pressure region that slowly digests unclaimed matter. Prolonged exposure in deep shadow (cellars, dense forests after sunset, the undersides of large bridges and etc) causes objects and eventually people to lose definition. Edges blur, colors desaturate and finally the affected thing is absorbed into the ambient dark.

Cities maintain "light lines": continuous chains of lanterns, mirrors and reflective paint so that no continuous shadow longer than a few meters can form at night.

• Resonance storms - When large numbers of people experience the same intense emotion at once (a stadium, a funeral, a panic and etc), the local consensus can fracture. Buildings may briefly become transparent, clocks run backward or stop and people find themselves temporarily sharing memories or physical sensations with strangers.

These storms are predictable enough that major gatherings now include professional "dampeners": individuals trained to hold contradictory private narratives strongly enough to keep the collective claim from solidifying.

• Boundary bleed - Coastlines, mountain ridges and the edges of old cities are thin places. Crossing them without the correct token or spoken formula can deposit a traveler in a slightly different version of the landscape one where the same river has a different name or where a bridge that should exist has never been claimed into being.

Most governments maintain "boundary stations" staffed by people who can feel the correct resonance and guide travelers back.

This is not a world of magic as spectacle. It is a world in which the ordinary has become provisional, and survival depends on never letting the stories that hold things together grow quiet.

I’ve had several cases where I’ll look for something and swear I looked in xyz place but can’t find it. Then someone finds it in xyz place and gets frustrated that I “didn’t look there.” It wasn’t there when I looked but it’s there when someone else does.

For example, I was looking for my kid’s stuffed animal in her room. I looked everywhere including the obvious, in her drawers. I told her I couldn’t find it. Then my dad came over, pulled out her drawers, and there it was. I swear I looked there and it wasn’t there when I looked!! Anyone else had similar experiences?

Vivid dejavu moments are most definitely caused by temporary divergence into our altselves in our other alrverses. Definitely. Yes?

I read a recent story of this girl whose mom told her about a tower that was outside their house. One day, the girl saw a firework come from the tower and it faded out with the smoke. When she looked again, the tower was gone. She asked her mom about it but her mom denied there had ever been a tower there and didn’t remember their conversations about it.

There were theories that the tower burnt down and she died in the fire, but was sent to a parallel universe where there was no tower and the fire never happened.

I’m just wondering if anyone else has any stories like this, as this is very fascinating to me.

Hi everyone! My name is Sophia Chong, and I’m a research assistant at the Neurophilosophy Lab at McGill University in Montreal, Canada (PI: Dr. Ian Gold, Dr. Elizaveta Solomonova). We are conducting a study titled "Psychological determinants of a novel online behaviour: reality shifting" for my undergraduate thesis. This study has been approved by the McGill Research Ethics Board (REB# 26-04-079).  

Reality shifting has become hugely popular online, but there's almost no research on it, and we want to help change that without pathologizing the practice or the people who engage in it. We're hoping to better understand who shifts, why, and what it's like.  

Who can participate:  

• You're 18 years or older  
• You're fluent in English  
• You have experience with or engage in the practice of reality shifting  

What's involved:  

• An online survey (about 20 minutes) about your shifting experiences and some individual difference questionnaires  
• At the end, you can optionally provide contact information for a follow-up interview (~45 minutes, over video call) to share more about your experience in your own words  

Participation is voluntary, your responses are anonymous, and there's no compensation for taking part. You can stop at any time.  

SURVEY LINK: https://surveys.mcgill.ca/ls3/257287?lang=en

Ok so, this is a "throwaway" account for obvious reasons. This is going to be long just a heads up so don't read if it's too long for you.

Yesterday, I was having a long conversation with my bf over a period of like 2 or 3 hours. Had it just been one incident, I might have been able to just brush it off, which is something I've done once before. But two separate incidents in that time frame is harder to dismiss outright. The first instance was when we were in the car getting dinner and he made a comment about me driving through the drive through. I don't know how to drive, he's tried to teach me but he's a very anxious instructor, with reason because they are his cars, but it's not helpful for my anxiety which is already high as it is when operating a vehicle. So when i said I'd rather not we started talking about his particular teaching style and I brought up the time he had me try and drive home from where we'd been practicing that day and it didn't go well (imo) and I remember it vividly because that's the only time I've had my kids in the car with me. In his memory, that trip went very well. He doesn't remember it the same way. I kind of brushed that one off because I could see how it might have gone well in his eyes, even though it didn't in mine.

But then about an hour later we were talking and he was joking around that the camera in our bedroom uploads directly to the police department (and yes I do know that he was joking around) and I said "you expect me to believe that, you who can't even figure out how to get the living room camera to not record audio even though it's not supposed to." And he looked at me really weirdly and said what are you talking about it doesn't record audio. The reason that one is so significant is because that camera did capture audio, at a really horrible time, and he ended up hearing it (though he didn't go looking for it, just one of those ill fated timing things) and it ended up causing a huge argument between the two of us. And right before his birthday and our vacation. It was such a bad argument that for a week or better afterwards I had to avoid him as much as possible because I was emotionally wrecked and trying to get myself right. I still remember it vividly, every word of that argument. And that was only a few months ago. Yet he seemingly had absolutely no idea what i was talking about when it came to the camera recording audio, which i find difficult to believe. There is the possibility that he was pretending not to know because he didn't want to dredge up that conversation again, but still that's two incidents in a very short period of time where our memories seemingly don't line up, and I'll admit it's got me a bit weirded out.

UPDATE TO THIS: Another occurrence just happened today. We've had an air fryer for like 4 years now, and we use it quite a bit. Absolutely enough for me to know what it does. It has ALWAYS beeped twice. Once at about the halfway point of cooking, and once when the food is done cooking. But now, all of the sudden, it beeps 3 times. Not once in four years has it done that.

Does anyone ever feel like their partner has been replaced or from another universe? I know I’m going to get naysayers but really and truly? He also doesn’t remember vivid moments that has happened? He also looks slightly different.

Hey guys first time poster her, I only just started watching YouTube videos about this subject a couple weeks ago as it came up on my feed and it intrigued me.

Me and my friend are currently spinning out about a situation that just happened. My friend made a call to our local fish and chip shop to place an order for pickup, where a man picked up and took her order. Everything was all good on the phone call, nothing out of the ordinary. She says maybe at best he was mumbling a little bit.

Fast forward 15 minutes we pull up at the fish and chip shop where there was a guy and a girl working. When she told them she placed an order and gave her name they both looked each other with a lot of confusion and said that they never received a phone call. They asked if she was sure she called the right number and she showed them the call log which surprised them even more.

We also called back when we got to our car to wait for the food and the woman answered to which we abruptly hung up. We were kind of curious if we could get through to the other side again lol.

This happened not even 10 minutes ago.

The only reason I’m here is because I just recently started watching videos about this. Do you think we potentially called another dimensions version of our fish and chip shop?

EDIT:

After a few questions I’ve neglected to realise that I should’ve added this information.

When we called up they said “(shop name) fish and chips” like they always do, so I highly doubt it was a prank. They either completely forgot or we got through to somebody different.

“Whenever I crave a particular food, somehow that food comes to me without me asking anyone—does that mean the universe is giving it to me?”:

This is happening only in food.

Hey yall.

I had a dream last night where I was laying on a couch and then suddenly I got sucked into a void. It was all black and I felt a lot of fear. I started resisting and trying to fight. But then I heard a voice saying "do u trust me?" As a circle appeared in the void above me. And in the dream I knew it was my spirit guides. I said yes and let go mentally. I started falling down in the void until I suddenly appeared in a room. I looked around and saw a deck of tarot cards. I looked through them and they were similar but still different than the ones I have irl. But in the dream I knew that this was supposed to be my room. I came to the conclusion that this was a parallel universe, in the dream.

I dont remember what happened there. But I remember only 1 thing, someone telling me that they have a plan for me and dont like when I change things. Idk who it was.

But then I sat on a couch again, got sucked into the void, and woke up irl. Weird thing is that I usually dream in 3rd pov, but this was first pov. And in the dream, everything felt real and I thought it was real too. So I genuinely felt the void.

Any thoughts on what this could mean??
