Not only that, but there are well established experimental results in psychology that show that it is EXTREMELY easy for us to fooled when it comes to memory and perception. Richard Feynman said, "The first principle is that you must not fool yourself and you are the easiest person to fool."
The idea here is to use the theory that utilises the LEAST amount of unknowns... The whole timeslip hypothesis is not a good explanation at all, I don't care how much you "feel" it is true... yours and my feelings have no influence on the truth or reality.

Interesting that you mention this because you seem to be disregarding a very important fact, I was dead sober and looking directly at a timecraft while it prepped itself to "leave". Now an average person would say this was a UFO and then go about life claiming ET exists, a more perceptive person would realize that nothing is impossible and diligently learn how to explain exactly what he saw.
Dimensional travel exists, for anyone to say otherwise is the equivalent of saying unicorns exist and you have 2 in your backyard. Yes for every single person who says it does not exist, you might as well say you are breeding unicorns, my eyes don't lie.
Well, there might be some connection, but I rarely get deja vu. I like it. It's fun. But I don't get more than 3 or 4 a year. I'm lucky to get 3.

Would DeJa Vu tie into your theory? [...]I have always knew what was going to be said and what was going to happen. I would say in my lifetime it has happened to me maybe thirty times.[...]

That's quite interesting. I would think might have more to do with genetic memory. I just recently found out that I am descended from Sir Thomas Farley, who was a descendant of Lord Walter de Falaise, cohort of William the Conqueror, first Norman king of Britain. I have always loved everything French (except their attitude), and never had a clue as to why.

I never met my father, and my mother wasn't close to any family members, so no one else could have told me this story:
When I was a kid my mother told me that we had an ancestor that was a horse thief in France. At that time the prisons were full, and France shipped some of the prisoners to Australia, and some to Canada. This ancestor was dropped off in Canada, slipped down into the U.S. and changed his name to avoid the shame of his past.
Years later, as I was mentioning this to someone, my mother overheard and asked me where in the world did I ever get that idea? When I reminded her that she told me, she denied it. I could tell on her face that she was telling the truth. But, as a kid, I couldn't possibly have invented such a story. I didn't even know I had French in my blood until I asked my mother where we came from (when she told me the story).
Sorry, wrong kind of evidence! This is experience, not analysis.

You are deluded if you think that the world around you is anything remotely like your perception of it. Anectodal evidence is historical evidence. And if you didn't get it last time, history does not belong to the realm of 'scientific facts', but nonetheless, things that have happened, have indeed happened. You are derailing a thread in the philosophy and metaphysics forum. Philosophy and metaphysics, in case you didn't know, are not primarily or even secondarily about the use of Cartesian scientific method to explain phenomena.

Yeah im not seeing any evidence...just people feeding each others delusions.
I remember this somewhat clearly. Because when I heard it (followed by a blurb of the song), I thought to myself "Oops, guess not any more!" Yeah that might have been mean

I remember, very clearly, hearing that the singer Gloria Gaynor had died of breast cancer. It was on the radio and television news. The reason it stuck with me is because she sang the song, "I will survive" and I thought it rather ironic.

I'm not sure, but the internet does provide A link between consciousnesses that was not possible before. And by consciousnesses, i do mean realities.

i can't explain what's happening to you. BUT it's interesting. Do you think the internet is the link between such realities? IF. of course, alternate realities are proven to exist.

We all interpret things we hear and see differently. You may have been in the doorway talking about something and your father was thinking about something he had seen on the net and related it to you because of something you were talking about. That can happen and I find it happens for a reason. Look at the site he is talking about with an open mind and you may find it contains something that is pertinent to your life. Don't jump to the wrong conclusions, the others can put memories into us that are there for a reason. Don't even ask me who the others are because I don't really know. They are the moderators of this reality.
That's sort of what I'm talking about, but in my view, all experience is real experience, whether or not someone else shares it, or whether it happens in the "common reality space". That means that, to the schizophrenic (like my adopted brother), the voices are real. They are as real as anything else in their reality, most of which matches mine on the physical plane.

Reading this article takes me back to an idea in which our reality is not just one continuous line. Our reality is more of an interstate in which you could possibly stay on the same path the whole way through your life, but you could make a decision that takes you off of your main path, similar to taking an exit on the interstate. And these "visions" or whatever you would like to call them would be your mind taking memories from your original reality in which you don't live in anymore so they are false memories.
Sheesh, when will you billiard-ball people get it that history doesn't go in the same bin as physics? But it's cool and funny about Abe Vigoda. So, okay I'll write that one off. That's only one!
