You may not believe me, but this is my fourth life…

This strange story begins with a post on an internet forum. A 46-year-old man who claims to be experiencing a phenomenon called “life loop” starts to candidly share his experiences.

I haven’t been saving this up, but I decided to write it down since I feel like I’m about to go to the next loop. I’ll write if the thread gets approved. Oh, it did. Since I haven’t saved anything, my writing might be slow, but please ask me anything you want to know. Sorry for making such a common type of thread. My current life is, probably, as far as I can tell, my fourth time. I don’t really mind if someone identifies me, as my name is listed on the wiki anyway. This life has been relatively enjoyable. After repeating several times, I’ve come to realize that no matter how many times you redo it, life doesn’t work out the way you want. First, my current specs: I’m a 46-year-old man, just your average everyday loser. I’m divorced with severe sleep disorders, and I work as an affiliate marketer. By the way, I’m not usually an internet forum user. I saw a YouTube video about other people experiencing life loops, and since I’ve had similar experiences, I decided to vent a little and create this thread. I’m not sure where to start, but I’ve been looping from age 6 to under 47, probably several times. I remember several cases where similar things happened around the same dates. I’m currently 46, but if things go like they usually do, I think I’ll go back to being 6 years old in about 6 months. However, going back doesn’t mean it’s like a New Game+; I just return to being 6, and as I age, I start to notice that I have different memories. Since I do live broadcasts now, I tell my viewers about things that will happen in the near future from other lives, but I frame it as dreams rather than loops.

• [7] Do you prefer yakisoba or yakiudon?

I like udon, but I probably eat yakisoba more often. When I remembered Trump’s election, the pandemic (though I didn’t call it Corona), and the Tokyo Olympics, I talked about them on my broadcast, and my viewers were surprised when they came true. I’m still not sure where to start, but I’ll begin with my childhood in this life. I was a talkative child, quite precocious and challenging adults. I’m not sure which life it was, but I think in the very early stages of this life, probably around age 6, my parents were worried about how adult-like I was and had me undergo medical exams and intelligence tests. Whenever I went shopping with my parents, I’d always get lost and end up at the lost child center. Back then, the conclusion was that I was just a slightly unusual child, but I think I had hyperactivity. I’m not sure if “hyperactivity” is the right term, but I was a multi-thinker who could solve multiple math problems simultaneously. I could also hear multiple sounds coming from different directions at the same time, and several thoughts would progress simultaneously. And as expected, I was bullied and had the kind of rock-bottom life you often hear about. The only thing I succeeded at in this life was learning from my previous failures and rock-bottom experiences to slightly improve this life. I missed opportunities like the Tamagotchi boom and Bitcoin because the timing didn’t align, and I couldn’t catch the wave. Actually, for most things, I only realize I knew about them after they’re over.

“Tamagotchi” was a handheld virtual pet game released in 1996 that took the world by storm. Bitcoin is a digital currency created in 2009 that later skyrocketed in price, bringing enormous profits to some investors.

• [12] I’m reading. I get it, I get it.

One thing that went well in this life is that I got to be on TV and became a bit famous. Without being too specific to avoid identification, I became super famous online for a moment. Especially on internet forums lol. But what frustrates me is that I couldn’t profit from it or establish a position for myself. Um, sorry. The reason I created this thread now is because this life might be ending soon, and I want people to know that someone like me exists. I don’t have any particular predictions or announcements to make, so there’s not much to talk about. So if you have any questions, I’ll answer anything. Now, let me talk about my memories of previous lives. I’ve probably lived about 10 similar lives, but as far as I can remember, it’s 4 times. I remember previous lives through small triggers, with memories returning in a way similar to déjà vu. Recently, I bought a vehicle, and when I rode it for the first time in my life (supposedly), I felt like, “Oh, I’ve ridden this before,” and when I tried to remember, I indeed had memories of riding it. A major difference between my previous life’s memories and this life is that I mentioned becoming famous, but my previous life was actually worse than this one. I mean, this life isn’t great either, but in my previous life, I remember almost dying from depression multiple times. I was bullied as a child, my parents divorced, I went with my father but was sent to the countryside, and when I returned to my father, he had remarried without my knowledge, had two stepchildren, and I had no place there. I started living alone from high school, but the bullying continued, leading to depression. My mother passed away, I became homeless, and I was approaching 47 still unmarried, in a life without salvation. The life before that wasn’t as bad, from what I remember. Knowing Microsoft would succeed, I started a small IT business after high school and was relatively successful, but I accumulated large debt at 30 and then declined without recovery until I reached 47. I think I was making a search engine. The life before that is a bit hazy, but I think I had children. I believe things were going relatively smoothly, but as I approached 47, things like divorce and work problems started, and I recall being so down right before the loop that I was even considering suicide. As far as I can remember, this life is the least bad. When I turn 47, I don’t die from an accident or illness, but rather, it’s like a premonition? You know how a few seconds before an earthquake, you get that “Oh, it’s coming!?” feeling. It’s like that suddenly hits me, and I return to being 6 years old. When I go back, I don’t remember being 47; I’m just a precocious child with a good intuition and a sharp tongue. I don’t have memories from before age 6, so I don’t know what kind of child I was up until then, but my parents were flustered and worried, and I think it started with being shuffled around different hospitals. Each time, I don’t return to the same world; the scope of my life changes with my actions. World events have time shifts and variances, but it’s a similar Earth. For example, in this life, I didn’t know about 3/11. However, I do have some memories of the future, whether they’re dreams or parallel worlds, I don’t know, but in short memory fragments, I have memories of what will happen from now on. From the memories I currently have, the Nankai Trough earthquake’s epicenter was off the southeast coast of Miyazaki. Aichi Prefecture was relatively unaffected, but I remember news footage of the Miyazaki coast being devastated. The footage didn’t seem unusual, so I don’t think it’s that far in the future. Also, Mt. Fuji will erupt from a location different from the current crater, but that’s quite far in the future, maybe 100 or 200 years from now? I think that because I have memory images of robots helping with rescue operations. I don’t rely on future memories because they might be dreams or misconceptions, but I do talk about them on my broadcasts as topics. I had already declared on my broadcast that Trump would win and that the next Olympics would be in Tokyo. I didn’t say the specific name “Corona,” but I did mention on broadcast that there would probably be a pandemic in a few years. I won’t write too much about what I said on broadcasts here because I might be identified, but considering the margin of error in timing and content, I think about 50% of what I said came true. I wasn’t talking based on intuition or prediction; I had those memories and used them as topics for my broadcast. Saying half-jokingly, “I’m from the future,” and such lol. If you think you can be a winner by looping through the timeline multiple times, you’re greatly mistaken; most lives end up pretty much the same, so the world isn’t that kind. Whether I’ll go back again when I turn 47 this time, or if it will continue, or what happens to me here if I go back, or why I’m looping from 6 to 47 years old, I have no idea. I don’t think I’ve told this story in a public place like this in my past lives. It will probably be thought of as a made-up story, and I can’t blame you for thinking that. This is my first time posting on an occult forum; I just saw a YouTube video showing a similar thread and thought I’d try writing. Because I’ve had such experiences, I want to know what’s happening to me, so I’ve studied a bit about quantum physics and multiverse theory, but they’re slightly different from the universe mechanism I remember, so it’s hard to say. I think something is happening that current science can’t fully explain. If I had realized what was happening to me earlier in childhood, I could have aimed to become a physicist, but life doesn’t work out so conveniently. At this age, as 47 approaches again, I feel it deeply.

The thread gradually became lively, with participants showing interest in the creator’s story. 3/11 refers to the Great East Japan Earthquake that occurred on March 11, 2011, and the Nankai Trough earthquake is a massive earthquake predicted to occur in the Nankai Sea off Japan.

• [25] It’s not just you looping; the world is looping. Everyone else just doesn’t remember it. I, too, and everyone else have looped countless times. About 30-40 years ago, in the 1980s, an irregularity entered the universe (spacetime), and we’ve been looping endlessly from there.

I’ve considered the idea that the world itself is looping, like the main theme of the movie “The Matrix.” I think this is the most prosperous and happy era in human history, at least in Japan. It’s not implausible that future humans might be continuously giving these memories to us in the present. However, while I think it’s not implausible, something about “future humans” doesn’t quite sit right with me. Maybe the world is originally designed this way. I don’t know specifically what it is—God’s world, another dimension—but in my multiple lives, there’s a common memory that’s also a hint about being aware of the loop. In Miyamae Ward, Kawasaki City, there’s a certain shrine with a section dedicated to Fudo Myoo, a place that feels atmospherically or spatially intense, and I have memories of going there to catch dragonfly nymphs and cicadas as a child in each life. It’s a place that feels mystical or has an extraordinary presence. It’s still a place you can see on Street View lol. I feel like I always go there in all my lives and recognize it like, “Oh, I always come here,” around 3rd grade. By the way, it’s at the bottom of these stairs lol. https://goo.gl/maps/2iu9RAa2j7qvcPqZ9

Fudo Myoo is one of the Five Wisdom Kings in Buddhism and is widely worshipped in Japan as a deity who dispels evil and protects people. Yago refers to the nymph of a dragonfly.

• [32] Soon, the collapse of this universe will begin. The starting point is the spacetime where the irregularity entered. This is the “hub” of all dimensions. It was the Big Bang and the singularity. And the identity of the irregularity is an inhabitant of the main flow of time. This is a virtual simulation created by cutting out a piece of the real universe. What’s difficult is that it’s not a copy or mere information entity. A part of it is still real.

Regarding my personal analysis of this world, I think life is connected, and we’re all in one big database, with personalities separated by records. To make the image clearer, imagine that there’s a database containing the world and another database containing people. For the world, there’s a computer that calculates based on physical laws at the subatomic level, and for people, there’s a computer that calculates for each record recognized as an individual. These computers are interconnected like a neural network. So, the world is calculated separately for each person. Parts of the world that I can’t see don’t exist for me, but the world continues to exist and be calculated as data. Because of this, the world functions conveniently (or inconveniently?) for each person. The world visible to someone else and the world visible to me are calculated separately. The world’s data is common, but the results of the world’s calculation are different, so only what happens around me changes clearly each time, while the world generally experiences the same events. The world I see resets just before 47 for some reason, but I think the reason memories remain is that I might be an “irregular” existence where the boundary line of my record in the database is ambiguous. This might be related to my childhood experience of having parallel thoughts and feeling like multiple people were in my head. As 47 approaches recently, I’ve seriously started supporting the virtual reality world theory lol. If that’s the case, it would avoid disrupting the physical laws of this world.

• [35] So déjà vu really is previous memories, huh?

In my experience, calling it “previous life memories” might be misleading. It’s different from past lives in terms of reincarnation, but in the sense of repeating lives like mine, I think the sensation felt when something happens that’s close to what happened in a previous life (not memory) is an experience in the current life. The feeling of “I know this!” is not a “memory” but a “sensation” felt as part of the experience in the current life. It’s similar to how young people today who have never run barefoot on a rice field path might feel when watching “Totoro.” Or like how someone who has never climbed a tree might look up at a big tree and feel that the view from the top must be wonderful. I think you feel that because in past loops, you ran or climbed. If you haven’t experienced it in a past life, you might not feel it. So I think déjà vu is not a memory but a reproduction of a sensation. What’s strange is why the images remain as memories. I think normally everything gets erased, but for some reason, they remain for me, though they’re locked right after the loop and gradually unlocked as time passes. If all the locks were removed from age 6 in the next loop, I could have a proper New Game+ lol. I know it’s weird to say this on an occult forum, but I don’t really believe in occult or spiritual talk. Rather, I think the mysteries that happen in the world and to me can be explained in ways that don’t break down physics, quantum mechanics, time, or space. In that respect, the movie “The Matrix” is really well done lol. This is the first time I’ve talked about looping both publicly and privately, but the occult forum made me feel a bit more comfortable talking about it. I’m sorry there’s no punchline, but in place of one, I’ll just write that I was the one who sang vipstar. Whether I’m really looping or just feel like I am, there are memories that can’t be explained by just feeling like it, but honestly, I don’t know what it is. Thank you for listening to me. https://youtu.be/oahEB2C3npk

“Totoro” refers to the anime film “My Neighbor Totoro” directed by Hayao Miyazaki, which is known for its depictions of countryside scenery and interactions with nature. “vipstar” is a song that originated from an internet forum and became popular online for a time.

• [43] This is your final life.

Don’t say scary things like that lol. I want to live a better life; I’ve been determined to make the next one better these days lol.

• [45] So the thread creator is going to die?
• [46] As long as you’re trying to escape with that mindset, it’s impossible. This is the last one, there’s only this time. People can be desperate because they think life is a one-time thing. Even if you redo your life 100 more times, I don’t think you’ll be satisfied, nor will you find happiness. My condolences.
• [50] I don’t understand the connection between the story of looping through the same era until age 47 multiple times and knowing about Mt. Fuji’s eruption 100 years in the future.
• [55] You don’t know the future because this life is ending soon, right? In your next life, please create a thread earlier.
• [57] vipstar made me cry from nostalgia.

It’s not like I have memories until the moment of death; it’s more like I suddenly find myself at age 6, so maybe the “me” who remains here continues to exist as me? If I loop, maybe this world itself might not exist anymore, but I don’t know. As for future predictions, as I wrote, I don’t know if they’re prophetic dreams, just regular dreams, or if I was time-leaping, but I talked about what I saw there as topics on my broadcast, and they gradually came true. It might be unrelated to the life loop. I’ll try to do that, but for example, if I remember past loops at the age of twenty, I might only understand up to around age twenty from the previous life, which is how it’s been so far. For instance, I had a child at 25 in this life, but in previous lives, I vaguely realized there were times when I didn’t have children when I held my child for the first time. So even if I say I’ll post earlier next time, I don’t know if I’ll feel like posting when I’m young in the next loop.

• [69] Thank you for your interesting story. Someone called tekito-kun also claims the universe repeats many times and has memories of the previous universe. I experience the Mandela Effect and have had experiences where time went back a little, so I think this world is a virtual reality.

The Mandela Effect refers to a collective false memory shared by many people, named after the incorrect collective memory regarding the death of South African politician Nelson Mandela.

I’ve been increasingly believing in the theory that this world is a virtual reality as days go by. I’ve been thinking about how that system works and have come to some conclusions of my own. I think we operate within that system. I don’t know if some kind of will intervenes in the system, but it seems it doesn’t operate in a completely consistent manner. I wish the world would be a little kinder to unfortunate people.

• [81] If you’re turning 47 this year, we’re the same age. Don’t you feel like our generation got the short end of the stick with the “employment ice age” and all? If you’ve been reincarnating multiple times, you’d think you’d become a child prodigy lol.

The “employment ice age” refers to the period from the mid-1990s to the mid-2000s when many young people in Japan had difficulty finding stable jobs due to the economic downturn following the collapse of the bubble economy. It had a significant impact on Japanese society.

I didn’t have trouble finding a job as a new graduate, but afterward, due to a chronic illness, I changed jobs repeatedly, became depressed, got divorced, and now it’s been 15 years since I’ve seen my son. That’s truly painful. “A prodigy at 5, a genius at 15, just a person after 20, a loser after 30, and on the edge after 40.” In the end, even after reincarnation, I mostly don’t know what’s coming, and I can’t remember most events from previous lives until that time period comes, so I wasn’t a child with adult knowledge, I wasn’t a prodigy. However, I was apparently a child articulate enough to make adults curious and worried, resulting in being a precocious, restless child, like what would now be called ADHD. My childhood was spent mostly troubling my parents and those around me. Now at 46, I can sometimes remember previous lives up to around this age, with some margin of error. Some memories feel off by about a year. This year might actually be 2021; maybe it’s related to the Olympics being delayed by a year.

• [92] Well, if the 4th time is your best life so far, that’s good!

This is my guess, but I’ll write freely. When I return to age 6, memories of my previous life (this life) up to age 6 gradually return from the perspective of 6-year-old me, and after 20 years, memories up to age 26 from the previous life return. That’s why I think I might go to the next loop at 47. At 45, memories of the previous 46 haven’t returned, so I don’t know what happens next. So it’s strange that I know I’ll go to the next loop at 47. Probably in the previous loop, I didn’t realize I’d go back at 47, so I couldn’t write about it. And why was I able to write about this on 2ch this time? I feel like there’s about a year’s time lag between me and the world in this life. My internal growth clock compared to the world’s time seems about a year ahead. The pandemic in my memory was winter 2019, but it actually happened in winter 2020. So there was a lot of talk about canceling the 2020 winter Olympics, but I was convinced the Olympics would come in 2020, so I told my viewers that. But my prediction was off by a year, and they were forcibly held in 2021. I’ve been thinking something was off since then, but according to my intuition, what I think of as 2022 is actually 2023, and maybe I should have looped around my birthday last summer. If that’s the case, I’m already 47 in my mind, which would explain why I have memories up to 47, but I’m actually 46. So I know I’ll loop at 47, and I can remember things a few months ahead as previous life memories return depending on triggers. In other words, the timing of my loop shifted back a year from my perspective, so in previous lives, as soon as I realized I would loop at 47, I looped, but this time I remembered that I loop at 47 and was able to write about it on a forum. That’s what I’ve been considering these past few days. The question then becomes why there’s a one-year shift. I actually noticed something was off quite a while ago. In 2014, to avoid suicide after my divorce, I went on a bike journey. The trigger was the instigation of a certain monk, and I rode 1,800 kilometers from Tokyo to Cape Sata over 35 days.

Cape Sata is a cape located at the southernmost tip of the Osumi Peninsula in Kagoshima Prefecture, requiring a long journey crossing Kyushu to reach by bicycle from the main island.

At that time, I became famous for an internet forum incident and was outwardly celebrated, but my home life was terrible, and I was in the depths of depression, but I still sang that song and such lol. Unable to bear the gap between my external and internal life, I broke down crying to the master of a bar called Monk Bar in Nakano, who was an actual monk and with whom I was on good terms. He said something like, “Well, you’re going to die someday anyway, and it’s okay if you die, but before that, why not go somewhere you’ve never been or eat something you’ve never eaten?” So I thought, “Well, I might as well die bedridden,” and set out on my journey. I’m sorry for the delay; I’m not writing this in advance.

• [102] So before, you could only remember things up to a year ahead?

No, it’s not time-limited, but when I experience something like déjà vu or feel something strange about what’s happening, I realize, “Hmm, something’s different,” and then I might remember. It doesn’t happen every time. And sometimes those memories differ from what I know now. So I set out on my journey, and since I was writing about my destinations on mixi, people from the internet forum who knew I was famous would come to meet me at various places. Crossing mountains and passes, meeting many people, hearing various stories, I realized that life, like a bicycle journey, has its ups and downs. Yesterday’s incredibly tough climb up Hakone Pass was just one page in life. Thinking like that, I came to see my depression, family issues, everything as just a transient page in life, and in Shizuoka, I decided to divorce and called my wife. I thought, “Then I’ll go as far as I can on this journey,” and I really did go as far as I could, ending up at the southernmost point of Honshu. During that journey, I experienced several strange things. I tried to set up a tent in the grounds of Sugawara Shrine near Lake Biwa, was chased away by a mysterious loud noise, and had a scary experience I can’t explain. My father came to Nagoya to cheer me on, and after he fired me up, I rode on a rainy night road and got stranded in the middle of rice fields somewhere I couldn’t identify on the map. Near Shotaro Pass in Oita, I heard a voice from somewhere telling me to go to a cave, so I took a slight detour during my journey to visit a limestone cave. The Nichinan Coast was covered in sea fog, showing me a divine scenery with a rainbow, well, I had many amazing experiences in that intense month.

mixi was one of Japan’s early social networking services, which was very popular in the 2000s. The Nichinan Coast is a scenic area along the Pacific coast in Miyazaki Prefecture.

• [116] If you’re still in this world when you turn 48, please create another thread.

It seems like there are people misunderstanding various things, so let me list some points. • The loop is, as far as I can tell, the 3rd or 4th time. To be honest, I’m not sure if it’s a loop, but sometimes I realize that I have memories of similar past events happening right now. Since those events are sometimes the same as my memory and sometimes different, I think I might have looped several times. That’s just what I think; I don’t know what it is, I have no evidence, and I can’t prove it. As far as I can remember, this has been happening since around age 6. I think this phenomenon will stop at 47 and I’ll go back to being 6, but there’s no guarantee. The trigger for realizing this was the déjà vu I felt on my 46th birthday, which was a memory of 47. After various considerations, I think it might be because my body and the world are off by a year. • How do I know? → I have multiple patterns of the same memory. What color was your Mario cartridge? Do you recall it being amber? When I first held the cartridge, I felt something was off because it wasn’t blue. Of course, what I was holding was amber, and I thought it was strange that it wasn’t blue, then I realized I also had memories of a white cartridge. I can’t explain why I have memories of blue and white cartridges. → Maybe they were those colors in past lives or previous lives, I think. In normal life, when I see or experience something and feel a sense of strangeness or déjà vu, fragments of different memories return as a trigger. Don’t you all sometimes have memories come back from smells or sounds? Like things from the past or childhood? It’s similar to that; something triggers me to remember memories different from the present, so I explain it to myself as looping through life. • I don’t know the future. The point is that I feel like I have different memories due to my looping, but I don’t know about the future. I feel a sense of incongruity with what has just happened and memories return, so if nothing happens, I don’t know anything. Can any of you tell that déjà vu will occur before it happens? I can’t. • Then why are you talking about Mt. Fuji erupting? Because I saw it in a dream. So it might just be a dream. I’m not confident about future events. But some dreams I’ve had in the past have come true, so I’m just writing what I saw in a dream, but it’s hard to call it a premonition. I don’t know if it’s related to the loop, and I don’t know future lottery numbers. Since dreams don’t necessarily come true, I generally don’t rely on them, so I’ve never bought a lottery ticket. I did mention Trump’s election on my broadcast, but I thought I’d be laughed at if I was wrong. • Don’t believe it, you’re lying, are you stupid? Think whatever you want; I just created a thread to confess what I think. I think my childhood IQ was high, but now I’m just an ordinary middle-aged man, and I don’t think I’m smart. However, I don’t intend to lie; I’m writing what I believe. If it makes you uncomfortable, please just close the tab; I’m sorry.

Mario is a popular game character from Nintendo, and the reference to cartridge colors is about the early Famicom game cartridges. Some games used special colored cartridges, and the difference in memories could be an example of the Mandela Effect.

• [174] Enough about yourself; I want to know about the future.

I’m sorry, but I only know what I’ve seen in dreams about the future. And since those might just be dreams, I can only write irresponsible things. I recommend Tatsuki Ryo’s prediction book, which has been reprinted. If you want to know what I’ve seen in dreams. I can’t guarantee anything. Here are the contents of my dreams that I noted down at the time, which I’ve repeatedly brought up as conversation topics on my live broadcasts; some have already come true, and some haven’t. Two years after the 3/11 earthquake, in June 2013, I went to Hokkaido by bike. I returned in July, and around that time, I had many dreams. One of those dreams felt exceptionally real and vivid, so as soon as I woke up, I started a Niconico broadcast and talked about the dream’s content to my viewers. A dream I saw around May 2014: It was like time-slipping to various points between 2020-2026. I remember certain Japanese people standing out at the Rio Olympics → Abe Mario? lol. The Emperor had changed from the current one (so at the time, I thought the Heisei Emperor would pass away soon) → He abdicated in 2019. The US President had become a blonde older man → Trump was elected in 2016. I dreamed that the Olympics would be in Tokyo → It became Tokyo. Japan won few medals, and there were no spectators in the town or venues; it wasn’t exciting at all. I didn’t have dreams about Corona, but the world economy had declined so much that the Olympics couldn’t generate excitement. 2024: A quantum computer makes a breakthrough announcement, probably by Google. 2026: The first generation of artificial intelligence is announced by a global company, probably not Google (First Singularity). 2026: Gadgets with personality-embedded AI begin retail sales. To be continued. Added on 5/28/2021. A dream I saw around May 2021, I remember it fairly well since I just saw it recently. At that time, it felt like I experienced the next 20 years in fast-forward. The Olympics will be forcibly held in Tokyo. Japan will win an unusually small number of medals, and the world’s evaluation will be mediocre. After the 2021 Olympics, people will get vaccinated, but the side effects will begin to rage uncontrollably, leading to a loss of trust in vaccines. In early 2022, a version of Corona that the vaccines are almost ineffective against will begin to spread. Around spring 2022, a new drug will gain attention and end up saving the world, but it’s not an mRNA type. It’s not Sinovac or Ivermectin; it’s something more robust with a longer name. I remember it being something like Gago… or Gaga… or Giza… lol. Big movements at WHO (maybe Tedros’s downfall?). 2023: The world economy will start to recover simultaneously with the resolution of the silicon shortage (I bought a new graphics card that year). The next Prime Minister won’t be Suga. By the way, it wasn’t Kono, whom I support, I think. But the impression was quite young. Summer 2024: I think it’s Google, but a major company develops a groundbreaking quantum chip. Around autumn 2026: AI with personalities goes on sale and becomes a topic. 2028: Robots equipped with personality AI begin to blend into society. 2034: Nankai Trough earthquake with epicenter in eastern Miyazaki Prefecture. This is what I saw in my dream. I copied and pasted the text I had noted down. It might just be a dream, so you don’t have to believe it. My usual dreams are ordinary dreams, like flying, becoming rich, or losing butt fat, chaotic content, but once every few years, usually around May, I sometimes have very realistic dreams. It’s like a lucid dream, where it’s hard to distinguish between dream and reality, in that half-asleep, hazy state just before waking up, I appear in various places in the dream. But I can’t move freely; I move automatically. I might see a TV, newspaper, someone’s conversation, or an internet screen, and I remember several things I saw there before waking up. When I wake up, I think, “Oh, I saw it again,” and note down the content. I only started taking notes after my divorce, so I only remember a little of the dreams I saw long ago. As I get older, I seem to have fewer dreams about far into the future. When I was younger, I think I saw dreams much further ahead.Regarding my remaining life, from what I might have seen in a dream, I don’t have a sense that I’ll die in July this year. What’s scary is whether my current self-awareness will jump to age 6, or if my life after 47 will become someone else’s or if it will remain the same. I can’t be certain because I couldn’t see the future me in my dreams after 47 with the same consciousness as me now. Maybe that’s why I created this thread as an experiment, and those who viewed this thread might become witnesses. If I can’t create a thread, I think it means I’ve become someone else, died, or forgotten. I’ll try not to forget lol.

• [210] I first had a prophetic dream when I was about 9. It was shocking when it came true two years later. I also have memories that differ from reality, and occasionally experience déjà vu. Like the thread creator, maybe I was looping too.

To summarize, the strange things happening to me are: • From around age 6, I sometimes experience déjà vu or a sense of incongruity while living, • At those times, memories I shouldn’t have sometimes return, • I sometimes have prophetic dream-like experiences, about half of which come true, • I’ve had triggers that made me feel a time shift in those dreams, • Because of that, I feel like something will happen at 47, a year from now, • The reason is that I noticed it at 46, • Actually, it might all just be dreams and the accuracy might be coincidental, • All the déjà vu and sense of incongruity might be products of my imagination. There might be various opinions and analyses about what’s happening to me, but I thought this occult forum was a place to propose such mysterious things and enjoy discussing them together, so I came to consult. That’s the general idea.

• [304] Is there anything that comes to mind regarding World War III?

I haven’t seen any images that suggest it in my dreams, even hundreds of years into the future. If anything, it felt more peaceful than now. Maybe that means Russia vs. Ukraine and US vs. China will settle down? The following is not from dreams but my subjective imagination, but Putin’s current rampaging behavior is a bit scary. North Korean missiles and US-China tensions are also concerning issues.

• [355] Ahhh, I see.
• [359] First interesting thread in a while.
• [391] OP, please compile this into an e-book. I want to read it properly.
• [394] OP, you keep creating this thread every time. You’ve been looping constantly.

Being able to write on an occult forum is a big factor, so I’m afraid I’d be ridiculed if I tried to publish a book or formalize it lol. I didn’t remember anything when I created the thread, but I did feel something strange or uncomfortable, so I think this might be the first time I’ve posted on an occult forum, even including past lives. I think in my previous life, there wasn’t a one-year shift, so I probably didn’t think I’d somehow end at 47 or feel anxious about it, so there was no reason to create a thread. Because the previous time wasn’t shifted, I felt a sense of incongruity with the shift this time, and that’s how I noticed it. As a result, I felt anxious and created this thread, I think.

• [436] I wonder if Aso Mountain will be safe if the Nankai Trough hits off Miyazaki.
• [437] As you get older, reaching your mid-40s, I think you start to figure out what you truly want, what would be enough for you to be content. Unlike when you’re young, you understand your own caliber, and things you desperately wanted when you were young, once you get them, you satisfy a temporary vanity or desire and realize they weren’t that important. Through this process, you learn to discern what matters, and by extension, who you are. If you have the added layer of déjà vu from previous lives on top of normal aging experiences, have you fully understood what fulfills you?

I am worried, but I don’t have any memories of that, so I can’t say… If we’re talking about concerns, there’s the Great Kanto Earthquake where I currently live, Mt. Fuji erupting, and globally concerning things like Russia’s mantle plume, America’s Yellowstone, asteroid approaches not announced to avoid panic, Betelgeuse’s collapse, or the collision of unobservable micro black holes lol. But even if I saw disasters in dreams, I can’t take responsibility, so I don’t rely on them much. They’re often wrong, too. Even though I feel like I’m looping, it’s just fragments of memory returning when I have déjà vu or a sense of incongruity, so I don’t feel it that strongly. Imagine finding a video tape in your closet, and when you play it, it seems like recent events but the footage is fragmented, and it includes images you absolutely don’t recognize. Wouldn’t you think, “I don’t know this, who is that?” lol. So I don’t feel it strongly. I can’t explain it. That’s why I’ve concluded, “Maybe I’m looping?” If nothing is happening to me, I probably wouldn’t be contemplating and imagining the mechanisms of the world to this extent, so if that’s the case, I can think of my current thoughts as the result of evolution or growth of consciousness over a long time including past lives. Given that influence and the accumulation of years, what fulfills me now, what I want, is, in a word, “tranquility,” I think.

Aso Mountain is an active volcano in central Kyushu with Japan’s largest caldera. Yellowstone is a supervolcano in the United States that, if it were to erupt on a large scale, could potentially cause global climate change.

• [483] Reincarnation? Rebirth? Why can you always play the human role? Weren’t you a bowl of meat udon in a previous life?

When asked why… because I’m human now? I don’t know. I can only say that’s just how it’s designed. That’s a big reason why I created this thread—to explore that question. There’s a possibility it’s all my misunderstanding. The results will come out in half a year, so please wait a little until then lol.

• [503] I have a question. Do you think personality is inherent in the soul from the beginning? It’s often said that personality is determined by environment.

Since I don’t really understand what a soul is, I can’t say much. In my opinion, personality is created by a combination of initial parameters, genetics, environment, personal preferences, and things like inquisitiveness, curiosity, effort, study, capacity to accept others’ opinions, and so on. Among these, initial parameters and genetics are like seeds given before birth. Whether that seed comes in a box called a soul when we’re born, I don’t really know. I impose five disciplines on myself. I talk about them extensively on my broadcasts, and I’d like my regular viewers to share the same philosophy if possible. 1. Don’t lie (self-protective lies are bad; lies that protect others are case by case), 2. Don’t steal (actions to protect people aren’t entirely excluded), 3. Don’t hurt others (not entirely excluded when there are people to protect), 4. Don’t despise others (respect people, accept their existence, and then decide what to do), 5. Follow rules (we live within rules, so not following them leads to chaos). For me to lie for self-protection or fame would break these disciplines, leading to self-hatred and guilt. I’ve had periods of depression in the past, and I never want a life like that again. So I try not to lie. I might omit things I don’t need to say or embellish stories, but I don’t lie. All I can say is “Please believe that I’m not lying,” which is the hard part, but I created this thread prepared for people not to believe me. Sorry for the off-topic discussion that’s not related to life looping. That’s my general stance, so whether you believe me or not is up to you, as the saying goes lol. Oh, I forgot to write. The five principles I mentioned above are the minimum conditions for my happiness that I’ve arrived at over a long time. By practicing these, I overcame depression, and even though I still live a poor and miserable life, I have no anxieties, my future is bright, and I can maintain my curiosity and inquisitiveness. I’ve created and practice various other tips for happiness. That’s off-topic for this thread, so I won’t write about it here, but currently, I talk about it as conversational material for those who come to watch my broadcasts. Sorry for going off-topic.

“Off-topic” (スレチ) is internet slang meaning “content that deviates from the thread’s purpose.”

• [528] I wonder if God is just consciousness? There seems to be a way of thinking that this world was created by consciousness. Humans are pretty much controlled by the unconscious, after all.
• [532] Amazing.
• [568] I think parallel worlds exist. I think there are worlds where I’ve died somewhere that exist simultaneously.
• [623] Wow, nostalgic (´；ω；｀). I didn’t know you had such strange experiences. If you loop again, please sing again! vip kohaku and such were really fun~.

Thanks for remembering! vip kohaku is nostalgic lol. I’ve been told since childhood that I’m a good singer, so maybe it’s genetic or my initial settings were a bit good, so I think I’ll sing even if I loop lol. I’m still singing on live broadcasts and such; I think I’ve improved since then! Maybe you’ll hear me again if fate allows; please look for me!

“vip kohaku” was a musical event born from the VIP board community of 2channel (now 5channel), where anonymous internet users performed songs together, which was an innovative initiative at the time.

• [641] It’s like “I deleted my browser history, but actually the cache remained~” kind of feeling lol. What a strange sensation.
• [643] I’m a bit envious of people who have even a little memory of their past lives.
• [644] I’m a bit envious of people who have even a little memory of their past lives.

That’s exactly what it’s like. To put it even more, it’s like when you reinstall an OS, and “Formatted, but it was a quick format.” That kind of feeling lol. So when there’s a trigger and I try to explore, fragments of memory return, I think. It’s similar to how smells or sounds can bring back memories for everyone, right? Like things from the past or childhood. It’s a similar feeling.

• [657] I wonder if parallel worlds are something like what OP is experiencing. OP can see several worlds because he can physically? physiologically? be aware of that? But you have a sensation of looping at 47. Maybe everyone experiences it without knowing.
• [658] It’d be interesting if not just OP but everyone was repeating 1975-2022, like a broken record.

Rather than parallel worlds, I think we exist individually. Most people feel like they’re in the same world because they receive information from the world server, but if you receive different data, you should see a different world, yet the world is one. If I disappear, the information on the world server disappears, and since no one can receive my information, everyone calculates as if I never existed in the first place. It’s a bit different from the five-minute hypothesis, but my existence disappears simultaneously from everyone. So contrary to the parallel world with many worlds, there’s only one world, and separately from that, processing is done individually for each consciousness, I think.

“World server” refers to a virtual server that manages and provides information about the world. The “five-minute hypothesis” is a philosophical thought experiment suggesting that the world was actually created very recently (e.g., five minutes ago).

• [669] I think you probably have four personalities or very similar memory regions in your head. Those memory regions interfere with each other, creating a dream of multiple reincarnations (continuous).
• [684] Envious of your fourth life.
• [702] So such things happen. Interesting.
• [729] This thread is interesting.
• [730] This was interesting. The situation of possibly repeating loops could be an experiment by God or a being capable of such things, or a bug, or like in Shin-chan’s western movie, maybe there’s something you need to do to resolve being trapped before the loop will stop. The more you think about it, th””

The thread breaks off here, but the creator’s story attracted some attention online and gave many people an opportunity to think. Philosophical themes like life loops, parallel worlds, and the truth of memories that have existed for a long time may have felt more relatable when told through the experience of an ordinary man. What his “age 47 barrier” will bring, or whether nothing will happen—the truth is unknown to anyone.
