WestJet, where your story takes off. Back when I was 19, I had a dream that firmly planted the idea in my head that we are actually living in a shoddily designed simulation. I remember that this happened on my 19th birthday, actually. Well, the first part did. The second part was about a month or so later. On the night of my 19th birthday, I had the weirdest dream I have ever had. It was probably the most realistic dream that I've ever experienced to the point where I felt like I was, honestly, lucid dreaming.

though this was a long time before I even know what that meant. In this dream, I remember walking down the streets, and I recall that my mind was set on going to the grocery store to get a bag of coffee. Something that's not really like me. I'm not a huge coffee person, honestly. Anyways, I was walking with my earphones in, and a song that I really liked came on. I turned my phone up because I was really feeling it,

and I remember that I couldn't hear anything around me. I got to the corner where I had to cross to the store, and I remember that I was standing there waiting for the light to change. I also remember that I wasn't the only one waiting for the light to change. There was also another guy standing there with me. For some reason, what he was wearing stood out to me, vividly in the dream. It was a sweatshirt that was orange. It looked like it was covered in paint.

stains, and I recall that the logo on the top right said something like Cooper's interiors. After a few moments, it swapped over to the walk sign, and I started into the crosswalk. I stepped into the road with a bit of haste, and I remember that I was just really focused on the beat of the song. Then, after a few steps, I remember seeing a car coming at me at a ridiculously high speed. something about that moment felt like it was in slow motion. I remember looking at the car, at the driver as he barreled in my direction. I remember looking to my left and seeing the guy in the orange sweatshirt looking at me with terror on his face. I can even remember seeing the police officers in their car behind the speeding driver.

It was like I was being given several moments extra to take in this scene around me and to really absorb the details. Saturday, around noon, guy in an orange interior-designed sweatshirt, the specific song, and me standing in the middle of a crosswalk on the street next to the grocery store. The next thing I knew,

I was lying on the ground and feeling cold throughout my body, staring up at a slightly overcast sky. I remember feeling dizzy and not being able to move, and then I recall the guy in the orange sweatshirt running over to me and the sound of ambulance sirens near me. Then, I woke up covered in sweat and freaking out mentally. That dream, legit, felt like it had happened in real life,

almost to the point where I wanted to believe that maybe I had actually died and essentially loaded a save file or something like that. Anyways, on to the really freaky part. a month or two after I had this dream. I was at home and talking with my girlfriend on the phone, and she mentioned that she had just bought some sort of pumpkin spice coffee, and that she really liked it. She was saying that it was the best coffee she had ever had,

and that I needed to try it. I relented and told her I would go sometime soon and get some, but she told me that I needed to go now and get it, otherwise I never would. She knew I didn't. really like coffee, and, honestly, she was right. I sighed and said fine, then told her I would call her back when I got home. I threw on my jacket and put in my headphones ready to walk to the store. Well, you probably know where this is going. I was walking down the street with my mind,

dead set on getting this dumb pumpkin spice coffee to make my girlfriend happy. I knew I was most likely not going to like it, but it was for her, so I felt like I needed to do it. it. Near the corner, where I would need to cross, one of my favorite songs came on, and something about it just felt different. Like, I was really feeling it. It felt like I hadn't listened to it for years, and it just randomly came on. I reached for the volume button to turn it up, but I paused. It was at this moment that that dream came back to me. The song was the same, the street was the same, it was the same day and time, and the plan was the same. was only one thing about this whole situation that was out of place, the other guy on the

corner. There was still a guy standing there and he was the same person, but he was wearing a blue paint-stained sweatshirt. It still said Cooper interiors, but it was pale blue and not orange. I was just standing there and staring at the light, waiting for it to change and thinking about how that dream went. I pulled my earphones out for a moment and just kind of stood there. Within seconds, I heard police sirens heading in the direction quickly. The light changes over to walk, and at that

moment, I felt strange. I got that cold feeling all over once again that I had in the dream, almost like it was reminding me what would happen if I did walk. I just stood there and waited for a few seconds, waiting for that car to zoom down the road at full speed. Sure enough, it did.

And that car, with that drive, being followed by that exact police officer, all of them blasted through the light and passed both myself and the guy in the sweatshirt. After they passed, the guy next to me chuckled and looked over at me. He said something like, Dang, good thing you took your earphones out when you did, huh? I just kind of laughed and nodded, kind of in awe that this whole situation played out in front of me.

That's pretty much it. I dreamt the situation and it almost played out in front of me, as it did. Part of me thinks that it was either a prophetic dream where I was given a heads up, or it was another timeline with a perfect storm setup. The only difference is, in this situation, it was the color of the guy's sweatshirt, and maybe that was the only thing that needed to be different for all this to unfold in a new direction. And also, if anyone wants to know, I hated the coffee, and ended up giving the rest to my girlfriend. I want to share something that happened to me, the other day. I don't know if this would be described as a glitch, but it was so bizarre that I had to come to share it.

First off, I need to give you context to help you understand. I live in Australia. Right now it is coming into summer. The hot weather is coming, and around where I live, the cicadas have come out. They are deafening during the day. Anyways, it was midday, and I was driving in my car with two of my kids, aged 12 and 10, we were driving along a busyish road, and there were two lanes going in either direction. We pulled up to the traffic lights at a crossroad junction that was a bit back from the light as it was busy, and I could see other cars on each side of the junction. Suddenly, it went completely quiet, and I mean, deadly quiet. There was no car engine noises, no birds, no cicadas, no wind blowing through the trees, nothing.

I looked at the cars in front of us at either side of the junction and none of them were moving. Usually, if one set of lights is red, another is green, but despite traffic being at all sets of the lights, no one was moving. I looked at my kids, and they seemed to have noticed it too as they looked confused, but funnily, none of us spoke. Then, maybe a minute or two later, everything started again. Cars moved, you could hear their engines and the cicadas started as well. My 12-year-old daughter, who was sitting in the passenger seat,

beside me finally broke the silence in the car by saying, Oh, that was weird. When I looked at her and nodded, she said it was like the world was paused and muted. I agreed, we talked about it the whole way home, and again the next morning while driving them to school. Then my daughter commented on how she didn't understand what had happened. I'm at a loss for any explanation. I cannot stress how quiet it was.

It was complete and utter silence. And on a side note, I have tinnitus 24-7, damage from chemo, and I noticed that it also seemed to be gone during this event. Has anyone else had anything like this ever happened to them, or a possible explanation as to what it was? If my kids hadn't been there with me and commented on it first, I would have thought it was just me and my ears playing up, but they both heard it too,

and neither of them have any hearing problems. So, I'm just browsing this subreddit in my bed today, which reminded me of some experience I've had myself, I'll go with this one. Like, ten years ago, I was 18 and experiencing my first summer jobs. I would work some weeks here and there at random places just to get some cash. For a month, I was working in retail, and I occasionally had to work in the warehouse to receive and prepare orders.

Refill the store, etc. The place was big, and there were a ton of things, so they had a forklift. The boss would tell me that if I'm good at the job, he would keep me after the few weeks that I was supposed to work here, and then he would pay for me to get the forklift license so I could use it and do more tasks, because at that point,

only one other guy was the warehouse manager and he could use it. And without the ability to drive it, I was slow and sometimes even useless to assist him. The other thing is that the boss never came to the warehouse, and the other guy, which was super nice to me, found it very pointless to have me there, and he could barely find me any tasks to do. And he was right.

I was more a loss of time to him than actual extra hands. So then one day, he was like, screw it, you can drive it, screw the license, I can teach you in a few minutes. and I was like, yeah, sure, it doesn't look complicated at all. And I was motivated to do more than what I was doing so that I could get a long-time contract after the summer weeks. When I proceeded to sit inside the forklift,

turn the key on, and press the pedal, it wouldn't do anything. So the guy took my place, and it worked. He was like, see, it's pretty simple. When I hopped back on, the forklift would not work again. Confused, the guy who was then standing next to the forklift, would even press the pedal with his hand while I was sitting in it, and it would work. Each time I would put my foot back on the pedal, nothing would happen. We were both confused, and we abandoned the idea of letting me drive it. Somehow, the forklift would not react to me only, like if some angel was preventing me to do it.

Who knows what would have happened if I learned to drive it on my own in the back of the warehouse? Didn't keep the job either anyway. Not paranormal or crazy, but it's weird and I still remember it to this day. Beavenue at board of Viarai. Embarked and relax. Ciroat, bookine. Oh, that also. And profite. Villaray, the voice that we love that we have.

Ever had something occur as a coincidence, but still leave you questioning if it really is? One thing about me, I'm a night owl and qualified post-poner. I tend to do things when I feel like doing them, because to my logic, that's when you do it best. About two months ago, I downloaded lots of movies and watched them in the next week at a slow pace until I came to one last movie, Dark Waters. starring Mark Ruffalo. But, as you guessed, I postponed watching the movie

simply because I didn't feel like it. Fast forward to two weeks ago, I didn't mark the date, but everyone else was asleep. I decided to watch Dark Waters. Now, here's the juicy part. Ruffalo is in bed with his wife, played by Anne Hathaway,

and wakes up to go somewhere in the house. The alarm clock on the side of his bed reached 237. Out of nowhere, I was curious, so I checked the time on my laptop. 2.37. Just a point to add, before that scene, earlier in the movie, I had paused it and gone for some midnight snacks and to go to the bathroom. This baffled me, because if I hadn't postponed the movie,

the time wouldn't have aligned. I'm sure of that. Was I watching the movie at the right flow of time I was truly intended to watch it? And does it mean my actions of my actions of the movie? doing things when I feel best to do so are good? To follow up, this other time, I was back when I was supposed to go to get my ID, and my mom was always pressuring me to go do it, even on my 18th birthday. One month down the line, and I felt I should go for it, so I did. There was a bunch of us applying, and there was this dude ahead of me.

At one point, we just began talking to kill the silence. He saw my birth certificates, and we shared the same date, month, and year of birth. A coincidence? That's not even the juicy part. We were so surprised that when we started digging up each other's lives, turns out both of us had tried applying the week before on a Thursday, but the process was cut short by a heavy downpour, so we decided to return the next week.

Again, coincidence? Also, both of our mothers, their teachers. Does this make sense? Does it justify that I should maintain my way of doing things on whether I feel I should do them? Because as far as it goes, it seems to be good timing. Was this a glitch, or is it an advantageous hack? Has anyone else ever experienced this?

I don't know what this phenomena slash apparition that keeps happening near my house is. Neither do I know what the message is for me behind this encounter, but I can't keep this to myself anymore, so maybe you all could help me figure it out. Are you familiar with the glitch of the disappearing bird? A couple of months ago, I had been binge watching mystery videos on YouTube from all of the mysteries of the Mothman,

and the blackbird stood out to me the most. Mothman is apparently a legend or an entity that appears when a catastrophe or disaster is happening. There were various videos claiming that it was him who flew around the location whenever something bad happened across the world. For every film that caught him, he would hover above the sky and then disappear out of thin air, nowhere to be found. The blackbird I've been encountering multiple nights around my house is similar. I take evening walks before and after dinner since we have an open space, so it's nice to see the silent night

and breathe in the crisp cold air of the cooler months and pleasantly admire the vast space with twinkling stars in contrast to the earth beneath it creates an illusion of being inside of a snow globe sorry for that description going back this blackbird would show up in my sight several nights just to disappear before me as if it was teasing me to follow it or at least try.

I'm even suspicious to the possibility that it might be a familiar, though it doesn't make any sense to me that someone would try to do some sort of surveillance against me. There was even a time that it called out to me, crying out so that I would peek towards its location, because it obviously hid in the cover of a haystack. I saw it clearly because the moon was reflecting on the waters, the rice fields, and when I got near it,

It flew and then disappeared before me. And this is a blackbird. I don't know if it's a raven, crow, or any other bird with black feathers that would hover around our house. It would do it at night and disappear before my eyes. It seems like it's trying to catch my attention since it doesn't look like this is accidental, since he seems to do it every single time. Any ideas what this is or what it wants from me? That my friends was, another collection of Glitch in the Matrix Stories.
