When I was a child, I also had the feeling I was shot. I remember looking about the window at night and thinking to myself I just died but I was continuing on with this life.
I'm not sure where this idea came from at such a young age. I certainly wasn't exposed to concepts like alternate realities and stuff like that.
The best explanation I can come up with is we are all playing a reality type video game. This would explain all of these useless wars. Look at all the popular games/movies, many are violent. I bet if you asked people today what type of virtual reality game they would want to play, there would be a large number wanting to play war.

What happened to the consciousness of the person in the other body or the other you an answer cannot be that the consciousness was combined because you end up with alternate memories of another version of your life, ..
welll. there have been cases in organ transplants where the person takes on habits and memories fromthe other persons cellular memories..... so, once you are in the new body you could adapt.
I have noticed however, with each time slip I have experience, I have lost a TON of memories and new people I don't know who know me too well etc...
the one time slip I CAN'T deny, is waking up 40lbs lighter and my hair was like 6 inches longer..... you just CAN'T deny when you switch over like that.......40LBS?!?!?!?!

Hmmm.... now you saying this has definately got my attention as i too have felt that i am perhaps in some alternative state and have even mentioned a couple of times to people "about being dead already" .... i dunno.... i get this strange feeling sometimes that things aren't real!!
But after all this.... my stomach still rumbles when it needs something to eat so i must still be here

yes, the day before was a goodish day for me.
I was hapy my abusive ex was leaing town again for three months.
I don't usually drink much, especialy during the day.... but he had started making margaritas, so we drank them all day until his flight.
While I was drunk, I had invited a bunch of people over, but my roommate said I went to bed before they got there, and that he hung out with them instead.
I also woke up with no blankets on the bed, because my roomie also told me he came in to wake me up at some point and I had thrown up all over the bed so he took the bankies and washed them for me.
there were a lot of other things different too...... new songs from Queeen, missing ones from Van halen etc... I went into great detail about each shift on the other "timeline" thread from before.
A LOT of the differences I noticed, were again, NOT just ME... similar things to in the dead celbrities thread, so I know it wasn't JUST ME, who shifted...
It just happened to be on YES a day i was drinking...
As for the 40 years experience.... putting 2 20's together, makes sense.
I used to know every song there ever was, by heart... drove my dad NUTS, now I can barley rember the words to anything from around 1989-1997.... anything before and after I am fine, but there is a huge gap during those years in which songs i can sin along to.
To me it is either some weird brain damage, or a time slip.
I thought brain damage for the LONGEST time, until I started stumbling on these time shift threads, and realized there were so many other people thinking the same thiongs with dead celebrities, music, and changes on the map etc...
Then I had no choice but to try and start understanding this "time' thing...
I also think i have/had died several times and came back in a dream and not to the same place.

Hi Odin. I hope you are well.
I noticed in your post you mentioned having the feeling you just died and having the strange sensation somewhere on your body.
I can't be absolutely sure, but it seems what you have just described is a panic attack.
Now, you may dis-agree with me if you have never experienced a panic attack. They can be quite intense and can be accompanied by different sensations on different locations of your body... each time you would have a different sensation somewhere on your body.
Panic attacks actually make many experiencers feel as if they are dying, mentally and physically. Yes, you actually believe you are dying st that exact moment and the idea of this increases the stress and mental/physical anguish exponentially.
I have only had them a couple times and not since a few years ago, though sometimes I have very small ones. The time I remember best is when I just got off work, I had a very very good job as a sales manager for a massive condominium building firm in Pigeon Forge Tennessee. Not trying to brag at all, but was making a bit over 110k year and I was very young, so that type of money was very uncommon for me.
I had worked in the industry for 6 years or so, when we learned that the company was possibly closing doors, due to no more inventory to sell and a lack of motivated investors for future projects.
So, on the way home on the day of that news, I was sitting at a traffic light, when I thought my heart was beating fast and felt as if it were planning on jumping right out of my chest. This scared me immensely, because it was a new experience.
The mental stress of facing my death right then and there caused my brain to go into overdrive, the symptoms got worse. In my chest, face, and ears - believe it or not - I had a sensation that could be nothing else except for me dying.
I was so convinced that I was dying I could not catch my breath, I had to pull over on the side of the road and wait it out. I have never been so scared in all my days. Eventually it went away and I had the distinct feeling that I did die or was at death's door and something saved me.
Strange... oh an by the way, would you mind using proper punctuation in your replies on here?
I am sure it is as annoying and difficult to others as it is to me to read post after post without any periods ending sentence. It makes the sentences go on and on and really ruins any concept you are trying to convey.

Pretty much the same here, always go to this site and read interesting articles and when I read this one I just had so say something. I was already looking into the possibility of quantum immortality and the fact that I have my own story has me believing that we are actually going through other dimensions and living out our life. I was a kid and riding my bike across the highway, I know your thinking this is one stupid kid, and I remember it vivdly but the car that was going to hit me litterly stopped in the middle of a turn that he could not even possibly see. I remember that there was a major time slip and thought something was wrong. I have many more occurences of these situiations and they seem to be mostly when I was a kid. I was a really troublesome kid and had many moments where I for sure skipped out on death. I also have a theory about a connection with loved ones. Lets say you were to love your wife so much that if she were to pass away you would eventually kill yourself or die of a disease that was stress related. The only way to pro-long your exsistence is to have you meet another woman, get good therapy, or the universes last option is to make sure that your wife is okay. So let's say your really worried about your wife because she's late and you think to yourself the worst thing could have happend and you can't go on, there you have it; she's their! I have OCD too, if that adds anything to anyone reading this post.
