Zhiguai, Glitch in the Matrix Tales, and Notes on the Strange
Glitch in the Matrix Tales
My roommate’s grandma passed away, and her family made several trips to her grandmother’s house to clean it out. After three days of doing this, my roommate and her twin sister had the same dream: that there was money stuffed in her grandmother’s couch cushion. They thought it was weird that they had the same dream and told their mother about it. They all then went back to the grandma’s house. They checked the couch and found the money that …
Over the summer, my brother and I had our own “glitch in the matrix” experience when we decided to test reality with the app “Randonautica”, a game based on quantum energy and our manifestations. We were very skeptical of the stories other people have had from the game and didn’t believe that an app could actually read our thoughts and take us to a location matching them. The first set of coordinates we received was based on my thought of …
I sometimes suffer from episodes of sleep paralysis. The symptoms don’t always include paralysis (at least for me) and can just be “dreams,” really hallucinations, outside of REM sleep. The scary thing is that sometimes I don’t realize that I have even fallen asleep before the hallucinations start. One school night a few years ago, I was watching TV in my bed and I felt myself lift out of my body. I found myself staring down and watching myself looking …
“This happened about 15 years ago. I called my friend up, and he wasn’t home, so I left a message on his answering machine.” “I said, ‘Hey, it’s me. Sorry I missed you, call you later. Bye.’ And then I hung up and left the house. I made no other calls. Later that day, he called back and he says, ‘Wow, that was quite a message you left. Who was that girl you were talking to?’” “I was like, ‘What …
“About two years ago, I went to collect my husband from the ferry after work. My husband got into the car and as I was driving very slowly out of the car park we both noticed two people standing a few metres in front of our car. It looked as though they were strangers, older looking professionals, both walking to their separate cars in different areas of the car park. The man was reaching into his side bag and the …
Back in the eighth grade, I had this really vivid dream that my cousin Amber was pregnant. However, in the dream she didn’t know that she was pregnant until she was about 4 months due to the fact she was still having her monthly (sorry for the TMI). Until one day when she went to the ER after bleeding excessively. She was then told there that she was expecting. That’s all I could remember from the dream. I should add …
One evening, my wife and I were returning home from a party. When I opened the door, I saw my wife sitting at the computer and working, as she almost always is when I come home. The thing is, this time my wife came into the house with me. When we went to bed, I told her that I had seen her sitting at the computer. She became serious then and said that when I opened the door, she also …
My glitch in the matrix story actually involves the tv show Hell’s Kitchen. My friends and I were watching the new season together the other night. None of us had seen any of the episodes before or any scenes. So, we were watching it and this one scene started and I experienced an episode of deja vu and I was able to say every line with the people on TV. I was able to do that for about half the …
“One day I was walking to work and all of a sudden had an urge to walk a different path than usual. I work downtown in a big city. It was a strange spur of the moment urge to walk a different way that changed my life forever. I turned into an alley I had never seen before. As I remember it, I made it about 15 feet or so when an actual ‘glitch’ happened. Everything in my mind scrambled. …
They were different dreams but for some reason, her distinct face and name always ended up in them. It got to the point where I would wake up frustrated and confused, trying to google her name or find out how I was connected to her. After a few months, she stopped showing up and I dismissed it. Fast forward a few years later, Halloween 2009, I’m in the car with a friend stopped at a gas station. I’m about to …
