[Bad News] I Seriously Had an Incredibly Strange Experience

[1] Oh crap… seriously, this is bad….
- [4] Teach me how.
[5] For how to do it, search for ‘If you wanna redo your life, come here, I’ll tell you about when I time leaped’. Ugh, this is seriously scary. What the hell is this world I’m in? It’s terrifying.
- [6] How far back did you go?
[7] Just listen to me first. I went to sleep on October 6th. Then I had this weird dream, and when I woke up, it was today, October 2nd. What the hell is going on….

- [8] Got any proof? Tell us the differences from the previous world.
- [9] Only 4 days? Go back further!
- [10] Something’s fishy about October 6th already.
[11] And what’s more, the world’s changed a bit. It’s really scary. There are clothes in my closet I don’t recognize, the software on my PC is different. It’s seriously terrifying.
- [12] Lucky you.
- [13] If you do it consecutively, maybe you could go back like 10 years?
- [15] Same old story again? Tired of this stuff.
[16] There was news on October 5th that a mass arrest for illegal downloading started. Also, a typhoon is apparently going to cause unexpectedly huge damage.
- [147] >>16 Not seeing any (news) at all. End of story.
[17] Hey, hey, are you serious? I don’t even know what’s going on right now. At least let me write down how it felt during the time leap.
- [18] Hurry up. Didn’t you write it down beforehand?
[19] First, you’re dreaming. You ever have those dreams like from a god’s point of view? It’s like that, a dream where you yourself don’t appear anywhere. When you realize you’re not in that dream, suddenly it becomes a world of just sensations. Your hands and stuff should be there, but no matter how much you struggle, it doesn’t feel like your body is moving at all. After struggling for a while, the dream suddenly replays, and you end up seeing yourself from that god’s perspective. Then you suddenly approach yourself, and when you wake up, you’re back in the past. Sorry for my poor writing skills.
- [20] You’re time leaping right now, aren’t you.
[21] Anyway, I’m really worried about how the world might have changed. More than anything, the ‘me’ in this world has terrible acne, I wanna die.
[22] Has anyone else had an experience like this? Can I not go back to my original world?
- [23] So, to sum up how, it’s like, you can do it if you have a dream?
[25] >>23 Yeah, exactly. It’s like, even if you realize ‘This is a dream!’ in the dream, because you’re not in it, you can’t make it a lucid dream.
- [24] Aren’t you still dreaming?
- [27] There was a thread called ‘Got hooked on astral projection recently’…
[28] >>27 Wait, maybe if you fail at that, you go back in time…?
- [29] Hoh, a newbie, huh.
[30] >>29 Eh, same situation?
- [32] You make the same thread every time you time leap, huh. How many times do you need to make this thread before you’re satisfied?
[34] >>32 This is my first time though…
- [38] >>34 You might not realize it, but you make the same thread every time on October 2nd, 2012.
[39] >>38 S-Seriously…? Dammit, who the hell was that ‘me’ then…?

[33] Sleep paralysis happens often. If you wake up from the dream’s content just as you’re falling asleep, your body won’t move.
- [35] Don’t really get it.
- [37] I made a similar thread on the VIP board too, but nobody believed me.
VIP board refers to a specific board category on the Japanese anonymous bulletin board site 2ch (now 5ch).- [41] What are dreams, really?
- [42] October 5th, huh… You guys are in trouble.
- [43] What a chuunibyou development. Guess I’ll try it too.
Chuunibyou is a Japanese slang term揶揄する a common adolescent tendency towards self-loving, fantastical behaviors and tastes.
[44] >>43 In the world I was in before, 2ch existed and that thread existed too, so you can’t say for sure this world is some specific, identified world. Maybe you just happen to be in this world, and I just happened to come to this world, and it’s just that in this world, we can observe other people who’ve time leaped.
2ch (now 5ch) is a famous anonymous bulletin board site in Japan.
- [45] Maybe you swapped minds with yourself from a parallel world.
- [46] Hey, couldn’t you use this method to go to a world you created yourself?
- [47] >>46 That’s probably more like astral projection.
[48] >>46 The dream I saw was really realistic. Like watching a part of some park through a security camera. I don’t know that park… never seen it before.
- [53] >>48 Did you leave the house today?
[57] >>53 I got home around 8 PM today, and I woke up sitting in front of the TV, hugging my knees. I dropped the PS3 controller I was holding and snapped back to reality. My mom said I’d apparently been playing games since around 7. After that, I asked my family and friends, but seems I didn’t leave the house…
- [50] What would happen if an acquaintance time leaped?
- [55] >>50 Wouldn’t they just swap with that acquaintance’s past self?
- [52] Alright, I’ve noted down your predictions. I’ll choose to believe you. So tell me something else.
[56] >>52 October 4th, an earthquake in Tohoku, Shindo 4. Mass food poisoning at some restaurant. A murder case where someone beat their father to death with a bat. October 5th, a worker dies crushed under reinforced concrete. That’s about all I remember. Sorry.
Shindo is a Japanese seismic intensity scale indicating the strength of shaking at a specific location during an earthquake.

- [60] >>56 Nothing happens tomorrow, October 3rd?
- [62] >>60 You believe the earthquake thing?
[63] >>60 Sorry, I don’t remember news from three days ago.
- [69] >>56 That’s stuff from the world before you time leaped, right? Since this world is different from the one OP was in, it probably won’t happen, no? Also, this is interesting, tell us more, OP.
- [71] >>69 Isn’t the worldline the same?
- [72] >>71 Too caught up in the worldline concept. It might be parallel worlds.
- [54] The world changed slightly, but the predictions will still come true?
- [61] Well, let’s wait and see.
- [66] Time leaping just a few days back… it’s pretty much the same boring routine. Gives me the creeps.
- [78] There are countless parallel universes, and you exist in each one. Sometimes very similar universes overlap almost completely. When that happens, the ‘yous’ in each respective universe can swap places. I heard that called a universe crossing.
- [79] So you shared the same time with two versions of ‘me’ from different timelines than the current ‘me’. Yeah, that’s romantic.
- [80] Just leaving a comment (so the thread doesn’t die).
- [86] I read about it the other day too. Well, it sounds plausible, but who knows. Nothing wrong with having hope.
- [88] Mom, I’m gonna redo it.
- [168] I wanna undo everything too. Tired of this world.
- [169] >>168 Strongly agree. If you’re tired of this world, try the ‘I’m tired of it’ charm.
- [89] [Breaking] Earthquake Miyagi Shindo 4 Magnitude 5.1 http://www.logsoku.com/r/poverty/1349257832/ Prediction came true?
- [90] It’s the 3rd, but there was just a Shindo 4 earthquake in the Tohoku region.
- [93] The date is different, is that because it’s slightly different from the world before the time leap? But it hit! Is the typhoon okay?
- [95] You said ‘search for «If you wanna redo your life, come here, I’ll tell you about when I time leaped»’, but how do you know this thread title? I can’t believe someone made a thread with the exact same wording in the previous world.
- [98] >>95 It’s the world as OP remembers it, parts he doesn’t know are probably filled in automatically. Anyway, I don’t see the point in mentioning that. Keep the criticism moderate.
- [97] Maybe time leaping leads to an infinite hell loop.
- [99] >>1 In the world OP was in, there’s probably a >>1 who failed the time leap. Do ‘you’s just keep increasing? The world expands every time you make a choice, right?
- [101] Well, this OP is probably making it up though. Lots of people jump on the bandwagon. He’s just one of them.
- [103] Hey, this is… http://www.nhk.or.jp/chiba/lnews/1085521391.html
- [106] >>103 Eh? Really? Huh?
- [104] With how this is going, will there be arrests for illegal downloading tomorrow?
- [105] Did the bat (incident) happen?
- [107] It was school lunch, but the mass food poisoning hit…
- [109] Remembered this thread and came back… What if this is real?
- [118] It’d be amazing if the bat beating incident hits.
- [119] Something exciting about this.
- [120] Well, guess it was all just a made-up story.
- [121] 2.

- [122] >>121 What the…
- [126] >>121 Seriously…
- [134] >>121 For… real!!?
- [123] Is OP not coming back?
- [125] Maybe OP time leaped from this world to yet another different world at the same time he time leaped in his previous world? And that repeats, like an infinite loop.
- [128] Getting kinda scared now.
- [132] Is OP not coming because he’s already gone from this world…? As for the method, guess it’s pointless unless you can achieve lucid dreaming, huh.
- [133] Maybe keeping a dream journal would work.
- [135] It doesn’t seem like OP did it because he wanted to. It wouldn’t be strange if he suddenly jumped again.
- [115] Came here to say ‘Yeah yeah, interesting interesting,’ but I’m actually a bit surprised.”
