Very interesting thread - I love reading all the differing opinions offered.

As for my experience & opinion, I have been waiting for several years for this to be an increasing observation. This is because several well-known metaphysical teachers have spoken of it - and I have experienced some examples of this phenomena so I think I understand a bit of the experience, at least as it happened to me.

The same metaphysical teachers have written about other elements of our dimensional experience that I have later come to experience directly for myself. So while I have no personal "knowing" of the core elements of this phenomena, almost all theories involve some type of "bleedover" between dimensions, realities, lives, etc.

So I would recommend you use this experience to lead you in a positive direction - and make sure you don't fall into the trap of trying to convince a skeptic to validate your experience.

Thank your post and the interesting discussion.

I would suggest that, for their universe - their right, and for yours - so are you! Wether you believe or not, the universe shapes itself around that belief, I mean really what exactly are we? Were nothing more than quanta of energy observing quantas of energy (the universe around us, our 'reality')

I have been noticing lots of slips all over the place. At first you think its 'your mind' but in time as I came to understand I was simply a dimensional traveller observing endless dimensions in the multiverse it because easy to make sense of it all.

You say you "glanced at the clock as I was leaving the appointment location" and then when you arrived that you were "9 minutes late".

It seems you were using two different sources for time, is it possible that one or both of them could be wrong or out of sync? If you said it was your watch you used to check the time this would be more odd to me, but since you used different time sources the first thing I would suspect is that one of those sources was wrong. Of course this does not explain the other things you experienced, just a thought.

Autowrench that was an amazing story! Is that where you got the inspiration for your avatar?

My story occurred nearly 30 years ago. I was having a birthday party and had invited some school friends to our farm. We had an old step-through ex Postman's motorbike and I was doubling one of my friends on it. I was showing off and going too fast down the road and crossed a grid (we call them ramps in Oz) which caused the steering to skew off and I was now heading quickly toward a ditch. I knew that if I corrected as hard as I could I would probably hit the ditch side on and risk rolling the bike, so I decided to just hit it front on. I expected this course of action would get us thrown but leave us relatively unharmed (ever the optimist) and shut my eyes waiting for impact. A couple of seconds passed and I was wondering why we hadn't hit yet. Opened my eyes and we were travelling down the centre of the road. There is no way even if I had steered as hard as I could that I could have made this correction! This is just one of several events that have convinced me that someone is looking after me!

I also have had an episode of dreaming of future events. I dreamed that I won some money at the local club and one of the staff there called in at my house to inform me. About a month later I was playing the pokies (slots) and put a Keno entry on. The pokies were crap so I walked out with my Keno entry games still playing, would check them next time I was at the club. That afternoon I answered a knock at my door to see a club employee who I recognised and immediately knew before she spoke a word what she was going to say. Exactly that employee knocking on my door to inform me that I had won Keno was precisely what I had dreamed. In the dream I was excited, but didn't know how much I'd won. It was $25,000.

I too have had different recollections from other people - who I'm sure shared these events with me, but just put it down to losing my mind. This also reminds me of another thread here on ATS about a year ago where some people could remember celebrities that had passed on, only to find they were still alive. Can anyone else remember that thread?

Also had a dream where I was taken into space, remember passing certain recognisable planets within our solar system and then turning away past another couple of planets I didn't recognise. Landed on a planet where I was given a tour and the plants and flowers on this planet were STUNNING. So vivid were their colours. Ever since this dream though I can now perceive colours much more vividly especially reds and greens.

Another memory of a possible 'time slip' just came to mind. I've always tried to dismiss the idea of the paranormal in this case, maybe for my own sanity, but nothing else explains it.

I live on a tiny tropical island where I've spent more than half my life. Back around 1992 I had just returned from college when my mom and I resumed our usual weekend drives around the countryside. We loved the relaxed atmosphere and even though it was all too familiar by then, we still enjoyed the trips out, usually ending up on the rustic east coast, watching the waves roll in.

One Sunday we decided to deviate from the main routes and go "off road", turning into side roads to see where they would lead. Now, the island is less than 170 square miles in area, so there's not a lot of deviating to do without ending up on someone's private property. We drove around looking for something new to explore, and while on an often traveled route we spotted a side road we'd never noticed before. Mom turned into it and we were surprised to find that it went downhill, and was very steep. The steepness peaked our curiosity because the island is remarkably flat, and the few relatively steep places are legendary. I don't remember what was on either side of our path, but we were unable to see too far ahead because of the way the road bent. I remember the grass was dry and yellowish, but I don't actually remember the trees.

The road seemed to go on forever, down, down, down, and a strange sense of panic crept in and settled over us. It was the middle of the day, yet there was something ominous about this mysterious road. Nothing either of us could put a finger on - our senses were heightened without an obvious threat.

When it seemed like it would never end and Mom was wondering aloud if she could turn the car around in the narrow area afforded us, we suddenly came out of a turn and found ourselves facing a clearing, at the end of which was an 'old' house. It wasn't old as in dilapidated - it simply looked like it was from a bygone era. I can't speak for Mom, but I just got a sense of it being out of place, even though there was nothing particularly dated about the architecture. Even now I get chills typing this. There are plenty of old plantation houses around the island, but something about this was offhandedly striking. Even though the scene was entirely serene, something felt wrong. Mom turned the car around and prepared for the long drive back up, and we were again surprised when we turned onto the main road almost immediately. Shouldn't the drive uphill have taken longer than the trip down???

We didn't discuss it much at the time except to say it was spooky, but the following weekend we decided to return, probably just to prove there was nothing that spooky about it. Needless to say, we couldn't find the road, nor did we ever. Mom died a couple years later and I may have given up, but my love for those weekend drives followed me into subsequent relationships. I spent many, many weekends over the years searching for that road. In the last decade many of my close friends have been rally drivers or rally enthusiasts - guys who know all the lesser known routes in the area, out of necessity (one of the most popular rally stages is in that very area) - and not one of them has ever heard of the road I described, nor the house at the end.

To this day I don't know what to think about that encounter. In a larger country I could believe we were mistaken about our location, or even in a foreign place I merely visited over a period of time, but somewhere so small, so close and so accessible? It seems impossible that the place we saw exists here in this timeline.

Very interesting story.

Is there any way to confirm that the clock you looked at at the start was not slow?

Any chance that the car you saw the second time was just a very similar looking car?

I once noticed that when I got on a plane my watch (back when we all had such things) was exactly on time compared to all the clocks at my starting location. After landing, I noticed that it was 8 minutes out. However, I can't rule out that the pressure differences it experienced on the plane made it run slow or fast or something like that. It was a very long plane ride. I also wasn't expecting it to happen, so didn't investigate it carefully enough at the time.

Other times I appear to have gotten the day of the week mixed up. But in all such cases I can't rule out that I actually slept for 36 hours straight or just forgot what day it was.

This evening I looked at my clock and it was 3:30 am. Shortly after I looked and it was 1:30 am. Even at this moment it is only 2:47 am. I don't have an explanation. But nor can I rule out the possibility that I misread the clock the first time.

I have experienced slips as well. I have 'not remembered' how I got home many times while driving. I know a lot of folks chalk this up to "zoning out" or going on "auto pilot". But with children in the car I always stay very alert. I pull into the driveway and can not recall how I got there, which direction I took, or and scenery seen along the way.

Most of us have a pretty good feeling of time as it passes. What I mean by that is when we lay down or close our eyes we can generally estimate how much time has elapsed since we last took notice. There have been many times when I would lay down to just doze for 20 minutes, lay there for what felt like hours only to see 5 minutes had passed. The opposite has happened as well. Close my eyes for 10 minutes and it was actually 4 hours later on the clock. This is not when I am sleeping, just when I try to sneak in a cat nap, kind of asleep but aware that you aren't asleep.

I also experience strong deja vu a lot and have since before I even knew what it was called. Usually silly things. Maybe certain things a person says and it flashes in my mind in a dreamlike way that I have "dreamed/seen/experienced" this before. It still freaks me out even though it occurs frequently. It kind of throws me off kilter momentarily.

The other posters are correct that most of us just wrote it off as coincidence. I could do that if it happened a lot less than it does. As it is, I tend not to share these thoughts/happenings with anyone to avoid the awkwardness of others looking at you like a lunatic.

I am glad to see others experience the same stuff. Maybe one day we can figure out what is actually occuring during these slips.

I thought I would quickly share a experiene I had that still troubles me a bit. I am epileptic, so having seizures and losing time is nothing really new to me, but on one occasion I was "transfered" to a different reality and time all together. Maybe it was my subconcious taking over, and it was a defense system for my brain to go into another "safer" place, but I dont think so. Something else happened for sure. I was in another place pysically, and it seemed familiar, but not really known to me, and the strangest thing was my sister and her boyfreind where there (my sister and her boyfreind were several hundred miles away), and oddly enough everything seemed to be life as usual during this time. My wife and I were getting ready for bed when this seizure struck and it was the longest seizure I have had as of now...over 10 minutes long. Probably should of been fatal according to the emergency room attending doctor, but that would be another story. I have always put this off as another siezure with some odd circumstances, truely though, I know that I was in a place and time that could only be something real, and something we are all just coming to know in these times. Anyway, thats my story, and as someone realitively new to ATS and the whole conept, I consider this a privillage to share...kind of always wanted to tell someone about it!

By the way, some scientists have carefully investigated the subject of the experience of time. An interesting fact is that when adrenaline rushes, your experience of time does in fact change.

This was proven with the following experiment. A small LED display was set up, flashing random numbers way too fast for the subject to read, but with one number flashing up repeatedly. The flashing was so rapid that this number couldn't be picked out from the noise of the random numbers.

They then hoisted the subject up a tower above a giant net. They strapped the flashing LED device to their face so they could always see the display, then suddenly dropped them a few stories through air to be caught by the net.

The whole experience of being dropped of course caused a massive adrenaline rush. When they came back down from the net, they asked the person whether they had been able to make out the numbers. More often than not when the experiment was run, the person could read the numbers perfectly when falling. This shows that our perception of time really changes dramatically when under sudden stress.

A family member of mine was once hit by a car. They report time slowed down almost to a stop when they were hit. What happened in a fraction of a second seemed like half a minute, and they report feeling like they were thrown out of their body with the force.

By the way, I strongly recommend NOT being hypnotised to get information about the missing time. It has been proven through careful study that the memories gained this way are false memories. It is possible for a skilled person to plant whatever memories they want. But in general, the memories can be false. If you do not want to carry around false memories for the rest of your life, don't do it.

Some specific instances of where this has happened include allegations of childhood molestation by parents. In some cases, subjects have been left with false memories of being sexually abused by a father who they had never previously suspected of abusing them. And in fact, that is because the father did not. This was established in some cases to be absolutely incontrovertible fact. Unfortunately, the person who was hypnotised had to live with the false memories of abuse for many years and eventually learn to accept that the painful memories they had were not real. It's unfortunate that this kind of information is not more widely known. I don't know why it is not. But these cases are extremely well documented. You should be able to find information on them yourself if you search on Google.

I don't have an opinion on hypnotism in general. I'm not completely sure what it is. I mean, I've seen it done, and I know what happens. I just don't understand what it is physiologically/spiritually, etc.

I've been a lurker on here, first time posting but needed to tell my stories, there are actually three things in my life that happened that I can't explain. The first one happened when I was arriving home from work, I have a complete view of the my driveway for about a quarter mile till I pull into it. So I notice from that far away that my wife is not home yet. she parks her car adjacent to the side entrance door of my house, where she parks her car is no more than 5 feet from the side of the door, I park on the right side of her. So I have to walk around her car to get into the side basement entrance. But that day I did not have to walk around it, she was not home yet, and I wondered If she was ok, and was going to call her cell when I upstairs since her and my son are usually home before me.

I entered the side door and I hear someone start running from above me towards the other end of the house, Like I had startled someone who had broken in. I did not want to confront the intruder so I turned around to go back through the side exit and my wife's car was right in front of me I ran out the door to tell her someone was in our house, I flung her car door open and there was nobody in the car. Where did she go I wondered I just opened the door turned around and her car was there, I had adrenalin racing and thought she might have went to the back entrance but there was no way she could have pulled into that spot and went around the side of the house in that time frame. So I ran around the side of the house and to the back entrance, I ran up the stairs and into the back door. To my surprise my wife was cooking in the kitchen and my son was playing a video game.

I just stood staring at her, I asked how long have you been home? she said 30 mins. I explained what had happened as I was very shaken by this. She said you just didn't notice my car there. It was NOT there. This happened 5 years ago seems just like yesterday.

And it happened again about 3 months later, This time my son was with me. We had got home and he asked where mom was as we pulled into the driveway, I said I didn't know. We got out of my car and we both walked right past where her car would be, If it were parked in the driveway. We both go upstairs and theres my wife watching tv. My son said your home? I asked her, Wheres your car? she said its in the driveway. Me and my look at each other and I remember the look of complete disbelieve on his face. We both walk downstairs and her car was right in her spot. We just stood there in disbelief.

I believe that if you veer off the beaten path the simulation matrix or whatever has a difficult time adjusting to the spontaneity. Similar to Daisyglaze though not as weird, if you make a wrong turn or unexpected happening, time-shifts or reality glitches can occur. I posted a similar experience on another thread but it bears relevance here;

Now I don't know whether my situation classifies as a time-slip or not but here's my story: My brother and I are avid golfers and took a day-trip to a golf course 45 minutes away to another town. On the way home there is a town (5 minutes out from our city) with a new development and a golf course that was slated to open last season but was delayed for a year to establish the seed more thouroghly. I piped up and said "let's go check out the new course and see what it looks like." So we meander through some unfamiliar new suburbish type crescents (as they are called in our parts) to get to this new golf course. Amidst conversation and an unfamiliar route we turn down a crescent that appears to be a dead end or loop. We see an old man walking down his driveway to unlock his car (presumably to get in and drive), a woman jogging on the left, and just a bit farther down we let a father and his son riding bicycles cut in front of us toward a pathway (or catwalk) and they head down toward some park. Now we are still conversing about which way we should go and I absentmindedly turn down the same crescent we just were on, effectively going in a circle. What do we see when we go down that same street we just passed 2 minutes ago? We see that old man walking down to his car exactly how he had previously. That same woman jogging in the exact same spot (did she stop to tie her shoes??) and the kicker was the father and son cutting in front of us to go down that exact same pathway that we saw them go down just 2-3 minutes earlier. I casually say to my bro "hmm, a glitch in the system", but he is flabbergasted at the scenario. I have had many oddities of that nature happen before but he seemed floored by the experience. We still laugh about that to this day and I think it's a neat thing to share. I'm just glad he witnessed it too so I know I'm not completely off my rocker.
