Have you ever had an experience that you couldn't explain??

THEHOOLIGANJEDI · Post by **THEHOOLIGANJEDI** » 2002-10-25 07:10pm

-I remember (and I remember those days like yesterday) when I was 4 and I was in preschool was on one of those swings that two people ride on. and I was riding with of the preschool workers and I was holding on to a part of the swing that I shouldn't have been holding on to and I cut myself. Not too seriously but I shed blood, the worker saw that I cut myself a she put her hand over mine. I took my hand off and the cut was gone!! I spent a good part of the day trying to figure out what the hell happend.
-My second story was when I was in sixth grade I was in my room (this was a saturday afternoon) and the only person who was in the room was my older brother who was asleep. I laid down on my bed and I pulled the covers over me. Then I felt as if someone jumped on my back, I immediately looked to figure out if anyone was in the room, but there wasn't and my bro was still asleep.

Well, what about the rest of you??

Far too many.

Hmm I would before I found out about Probabilty

And how to calcuate the exact chance that somone would say spotaniously turn from normal them into a large potted plant(It can be done! Mearly a decent knowledge of Quantum Mechanics and the Calcutation of Atom's placement then factor in the number of rough atoms in the human body would be the nessary ones that need to change and all in the correct sequence)

Lemme put it this way
5.3^9999 would be if your pinky suddenly poofed as all the molecules randomly entroped out of existance let ALONE somthing poped up in its place

So to the orgional Question no, As I know Probabilty Mearly holds,

If it can happen
It will
Sooner or later

None. I can explain all of them.

Well, sometimes I say/do something incredibly stupid and after it can't understand why. I have a nasty scar on my chin because I thought it would be fun to do that new dangerous down hill faster than anybody else.

Sigh. It was glorious for a time, stupid for the rest of my life

Many "ghost" encounters and a "predictive dream" the likes of which I NEVER WANT AGAIN.

HemlockGrey · Post by **HemlockGrey** » 2002-10-25 09:10pm

I tend to have weird predictive dreams. Probably, I just encounter something and then think I've dreamt of it.

Post by **weemadando** » 2002-10-25 09:24pm

This dream was bad. I dreamt that I was a rescue worker who had flown into somewhere to help with the aftermath of an earthquake. The entire city is destroyed but everyone seems to be alive. Later I uncover two bodies, a young mother and her baby. The only two victims in the dream.

I wake up, go downstairs to have breakfast, turn on the radio. Earthquake in South America. Two victims, mother and baby.

Feel free to debunk this, but that dream was so graphic I don't want anything like it again.

Quite often I'll dream about something I haven't thought about in years (nothing too serious, maybe an old movie, TV show, video game) and then the thing that I dreamed about will somehow come up, often in conversation, the next day (and I'm not the one that brings it up).

I've had a few such experiences, but I cannot explain them.

But serriously, I don't have weird stuff like that happen to me, either that or I can figure out what might have actually happened.

I do get cases of deja vu pretty bad every now and then. But I'm pretty bad at keeping track of memories, and my brain probably defines new thoughts/experiences as old memories, as well.

Post by **Mr Bean** » 2002-10-25 11:16pm

Acutal come to think of one I can't explain

200 Meter Pellet Gun shot, Gun's only related as accurate at 80 Meters on the First C0-2 shot(And 50 after that) yet some-how I taged the 9 Ring on the target even though I was shooting for the heck of it

Interesting topic! I was enlisted in the USCG several years back, and as a petty officer aboard my ship I was responsible for determining the food the ship's crew would need. I was still somewhat new at the position, and the responsibilitities I'd inherited were pretty heavy in comparison to what I'd recently been doing. At the time, I was under a lot of pressure. One night, the ship was rolling in some fairly rough seas (15-20 foot waves), and I was in dry-stores, pulling down ingredients we'd need for the next day (after having already wrestled frozen meat from the walk-in freezer and into the thaw box). As the ship violently lurched in the midst of one of the harsher swells, a few No. 10 cans (the really big ones) fell on me along with some heavy bags of rice. At that point I snapped.

Leaving the gate to dry-stores unsecured and open, I blankly walked to the front of my ship where my berthing area and rack were. As I sat down in the dark (it was around 2200), my buddy saw me and asked what was the matter, to which I apathetically responded, "I left the dry-stores open." He replied, "Why'd you do that? You know Chief's gonna have your ass (Chief was the E-7 in charge of the rest of us). I replied, "I don't care..." Later on, Chief came down to our berthing area, saw me sitting on the deck with my back to the bottom rack and said," You know you left the dry stores and freezer open (I'd also forgotten about the freezer)." I replied, "Yeah, I know." He paused for a few seconds, and I braced myself for a blazing attack. He added, "Let's go fix it." I was somewhat surprised at his response, but he must have detected my state of mind. So we went and fixed the situation together, he never saying a word of correction to me, nor did he ever mention the incident again.

Later that evening, I found myself face down on my rack (mine was on the top). I closed my eyes hard and prayed, "God, I know you exist, for all the things around me tell me you do. But I don't know if you care for me. I know I'm not supposed to do this, but I feel I need to know -- I need to know if you care about me -- if you're there." I don't know whether I fell asleep or fell into some unexplainable trance, but later that evening I found myself in the presence of a power so awesome, all the energy was sucked from my body like a sponge and I was flat on my face and unable to move. While I wasn't looking at the image in front of me, I could still see it -- something in the form of a person but as bright as a million stars, all compacted into one. From this being, I felt overwhelming waves of power washing over me; power that was off the scale of anything I could have even imagined. I felt paralyzed. But, it was not an evil power. It was an indescribably perfect power -- as though I had no right to be in its presence. As I said, I could not move a muscle; even my mouth, but I must have thought the words, "I've seen enough." At that point, I found myself sitting upright in my rack and sweating. Coincidentally, I've never again asked for such proof...

Neurotheology is the study of religious experiences in the brain. It has been discovered that during periods of "nirvana" while meditating test subjects were hooked up to medical scanners, it was observed that the spatial awareness part of the brain goes inactive, along with a few other key higher brain-function areas.

In other words, a spiritual experience is not some supernatural phenomenon affecting you; it is actually a temporary shutdown of part of your brain. Yes, spiritual experiences are brain dysfunctions. Sorry.

Same thing happens to me. Unfortunately the predictive dreams never cross react with the porno ones.

At least they havent' so far.

I sense something ironic about that sentence, but I can't put my finger on it.

But really they have crossed and it's great.
