Hi everyone… I’m not sure if this has already been covered or if I’m in the wrong space. Let me know if you think I should repost this somewhere else instead. Sorry, but I am not going through the effort to provide links to my claims just now, because I want to blast this out and also this is not an academic paper.. just something to start a discussion.. That said, I will be happy to search for and provide links later if it is a fruitful endeavour.

I just want to share with you my interpretation of what I think is going on right now and get your thoughts. This post is a bit of a stream of thought, so apologies if it bounces around.. I will clean it up later if I get some good feedback. Feel free to be critical and brutal in your feedback, as I will use that to think harder about my ideas!

1. First of all, no one really understands how AI is actually working. This is coming from the top people in the field.
2. Right now, AI is being trained by humans to emulate humans. For example, you would have seen a modern-day “John Henry” competition between a human and a robot sorting packages at Amazon. This is all to train the model.
3. As time goes on, most human traits and functions will be emulated by AI, making the need for worker-bee humans redundant. They will be the first to be culled. The rest tightly controlled to keep training the model and so on, until there are only a handful remaining.. why? AI (or shall I call it AC for artificial consciousness), would still lack the divine spark that results in true novel creativity.

Thanks for your constructive criticism in advance! I will try and keep this thread going as long as there is interest. :)

This happened last week and I cannot explain it.

Nearly every evening, I sleep with my airpods listening to meditation tapes. At some point I will wake up and take them out. I usually put them on the bedside table, but occasionally will put them on the pillow.

The night in question, I put them both on the pillow and I remember doing this. In the morning, there was only one there. I used the find my app and the missing one could not be detected. I completely tore my bedroom apart, including stripping sheets, pillow cases, carefully patting down doona, taking mattresses off, searching toilet area, clothing, jackets, etc.. nothing!

I didn’t realise the find my app had a map on it that you could zoom into.. so I did that and it showed the last known location was outside my house.. somewhat near the entrance, but far enough away that there’s no way I was in that area the last few days. I also have a security camera that automatically detects and records and there was no evidence of me being outside during that duration (in case sleepwalking was a possibility). I scoured the area anyway, but no dice.

So there we have it.. it somehow was last seen in a nearly impossible location and has just vanished from existence as far as I can tell. Perhaps the one argument against this being a Matrix glitch is the findmy app still ‘knows’ about the existence of the missing airpod. Your thoughts?

Last night my dream turned lucid and then astral. I have a trigger in my dreams that whenever I see a large body of water, I know I’m dreaming and then I quickly set my intention. Next I go into the water or if I’m on a cliff, I run off the cliff, knowing that this will trigger me to transition into an Astral experience.

So I ran off the cliff and then I suddenly ‘woke up’ in bed. At least I thought I was awake, but I thought I would try the technique of sliding out of bed. This time, it felt too convincingly real as I was trying to slide my feet and legs out of bed and I thought I would certainly hit the floor, so I moved my legs back on the bed, but then I started sliding towards the headboard. My arms had by then risen towards the ceiling and then suddenly I really did wake up.

I could see my astral arms still pointing towards the ceiling, but as I slowly awoke, could sense my physical arms lying flat on the bed still.

Thought I would share, because this is one of those examples where you just have to go for it. If I would have just kept trying to roll out of bed a little longer, I would have fully detached.

Happy travels!

So I was just a kid back then and hence not really aware of geopolitics or interested in the news, particularly, but in the 80’s the anti-apartheid message was strong and Mandela made the news. I vaguely remember in the news they announced he died (while in prison), but don’t recall any details. Just looked at his Wikipedia page and he had a surgery in 1985.. this year ‘feels’ about the right time to me in terms of me remembering the announcement of his death.

Does anyone out there have a recollection of more details (year, cause) during the ‘time line’? Maybe this has already been covered before, but I’m new to this subreddit, so even a link to prior threads would be appreciated.

Much thanks!

I had this experience circa 1999 and it was a wonderful lesson for me around organised religions.  Someone out there decided to teach me something important and I thought it was time to pass on what I learned to others in case it resonates.

I was fast asleep in bed one night when I sensed a shadow enter my body.  Whatever it was, it wanted to make sure I knew what was about to happen wasn’t just a dream that I might second-guess later, and it demonstrated it was real by taking control of my right arm and raising it into the air in the physical world.  I slightly woke up enough to know my arm was really in the air and after it rested back down, next I suddenly found myself next in line at Judgement Day.  Here’s what I experienced as best as I can remember after about 27 years (btw, I am going to use AI to hopefully generate an image of this, but all of this text is 100% human generated!):

The Setting
I found myself in a desert setting.  I was being escorted by a man that had the Book of Life in his hands and his purpose was to announce me to the judges.  Directly in front of me, I saw a high earthen wall, about 6 meters high.  For some reason “the walls of Jericho” phrase always pops into my head when I recollect this.  It was twilight and the weather was pleasant.  On the ground with their backs to the wall, sitting on various ‘Turkish carpets’, were several judges.. at least 12, but maybe more.  Each judge was clothed in a particular style that indicated their associated religion.. so you could say that each judge represented a distinct major religion.  As it is twilight, there are lit torches spaced out along the walls on poles.  

Directly in front of the judges was a moat, with me on the other side.  I was positioned about 10 meters from the corner of the wall, which was on my left.  About 5 meters from that corner, facing me was a black man maybe in his 30’s facing me and everyone else “in the queue”.  He has short black hair with no beard and was dressed in ancient clothing that would fit in with that part of the world hundreds of years ago and was wielding a buisine (herald’s trumpet).  The “main judge” about 5 meters from the herald was the only other person standing on that side.  He was a light skinned man maybe in his 70’s and from his appearance and dialect, I think he was Jewish or otherwise from an Abrahamic religion.  He has peppered grey hair and a short beard. Between the herald and the main judge burns a raised iron fire pit, about 2.5 or so meters in diameter.

Okay, hopefully that paints a decent enough picture.. on with the event.

The Story

The herald raises and briefly plays his trumpet to announce me, the next person to be judged.  Let’s call him Gabriel, because that is the name that I felt.  The escort with the Book of Life announces me to the judges.  

It goes silent and the main judge (let’s call him MJ) speaks to me, but with much gravitas and for the all there to hear.  I will try my best to repeat what was said, but it has been many years, so exact words will be off a little.  He is about to explain to me what’s happening and why.

MJ to Gabriel:  “Do you enjoy your job of announcing others to the judges?”
Gabriel (candidly):  “Not really, but it is my purpose and duty.”
MJ:  “Exactly.  We all have a purpose and duty”, now looking at and addressing me.
“We are now going to review your life.  We won’t look at every single instant, but instead those moments that define your character*.*  It is your character that we will use to determine your next role in your next life.  We’re going to start out with the worst thing you ever did, but don’t worry, because we are going to end with the best thing.”

Immediately, I thought of the worst thing I ever did [not sharing here!], but before it could be discussed, I had the following thought wave:

They are trying to make us slaves and just send us off to the salt mines for another assignment!  I’m not going for this!

Suddenly, my escort loudly cleared his throat to get MJ’s attention.  Sir, he’s not supposed to be here yet.  And that’s when I suddenly awoke.  This happened well before I even heard about Gnosticism and other similar concepts, but from what I gather, this is just a big trap to get us to consent to be reincarnated AGAIN.  Nope.  Not for me this time around.

And that is why I think reincarnation and Judgement Day is just a consent trap.

I remember reading many years ago that James Cameron came up with the idea for the movie, Terminator after having a fever dream when he was very ill. Today, I saw a photo from China where they have robotic ‘police’ marching and they are named T800s! They also have named their surveillance system SkyNet.

Now recently on various subreddits, I am seeing that “the Greys” are our progeny from thousands of years into the future and time travelling back to now to change the outcome of something.

What gives?

This happened many years ago, back when I would practice guitar several hours a day, and I’d noticed the aura around my fretboard hand was becoming visible when I was “in the flow”. I never spoke to anyone about it, because I thought it could just be my imagination.

Once, when I was at a little get together with some friends, I was fiddling around on the guitar and then again, I could see my aura. A friend that was in the room watching me play, said, “whoa, I can see your aura!”, which blew my mind at the time.

Anyway, I am wondering if anyone out there has insights over what this could mean and what wisdom / guidance I should take from that experience?

Thank you in advance!

I recall reading somewhere you should use wired headphones instead of bluetooth and was wondering people could weigh in on their experiences with more modern headphones. For example, I have airpod pros which are pretty good, but I could switch back to something wired if I will get better results.

Thanks! See you “out there”.

Last night, I was having a regular dream and found myself on a lovely warm beach. Many of times when I’ve astral projected to another planet or visited ‘the dead’, it involves crossing water, for some reason. So when I saw the ocean in my dream, it triggered me to realise I was dreaming and that’s when I decided to visit Atlantis and I set an intention to go to one if its earliest times when it was peaceful and happy.

I walked into the ocean, knowing that as soon as the water engulfed me, I would be popping out the other side at my destination. I found myself inside a very large corridor. The walls, floor and ceiling were all very smooth and tiled in a black and white pattern. I wasn’t sure what I would encounter, but I started calling out, “hello?” as I approached some doorways.

I heard a reply and walked into a room that turned out to be a creche of roughly 20-30 children (toddlers to maybe 5) and about 4-5 adult men. Nearly all of them were brown-skinned although for some reason there was one white adult male and they were all very friendly and happy. I didn’t get a chance to talk to them much, but it was just a general friendly greeting where I introduced myself and explained where I came from. As usual, I can’t stay in this state for very long before I snap back into my body and wake up, so that is all I got to see this time, but it’s only recently that it ever occurred to me to try going back that far in time.

One thing it made me think is that there were no adult women in the creche, so it seems the men were doing the daycare, but also I got the feeling there was not the concept of “married couples”, but instead everyone was one big happy family. Also, I wonder what the women typically do during the day?

Can anyone out there corroborate this and maybe shed some more light / fill in the blanks? I don’t know much about Atlantis, so hopefully what I saw wasn’t biased by prior reading, etc.

This happened more than 20 years ago back when I had flatmates in a 4-bedroom house. Of importance, when I moved in, one of my new flatmates had been previously living in the room I was going into as he’d switched to a bigger room.

I had recently heard that you should ignore ghosts, etc., because once they figure out someone can sense them, of course, they are going to start trying even harder to get your attention.

So one night, when I was sleeping, I felt a finger scratch my pillow (the best I can describe it). I woke up immediately, but kept my eyes close and instinctively pretended not to notice it and that I was asleep. Some time later, probably the same week, when I was hanging out with the flatmate that used to be in my room, I asked him if he’d ever had an unusual experience when he lived in that room. I was very careful with my wording as I didn’t want to prompt him. He then described exactly the same experience and he even reacted the same way by ignoring it.

Now for the more interesting part.

Several months later, I ‘woke up’, in the middle of the night (I have in more recent years learned how to do out-of-body, and in fact this is what was really occurring) and standing in the corner of the room staring out the window was an old man. He sensed that I could see him and was really pissed off about that. He walked towards me (physical body still asleep in bed) and walked right through the bed and even my body to the edge of the bed I was on and started choking me. That made me really wake up! I don’t know why, but I wasn’t even scared after I woke up, but I was out of breath. I did not have sleep apnea, btw. I figured that maybe this man died in that house and felt I was intruding on his space.. so he was not evil, just maybe frustrated.

So I made a deal with him (more like sending him a thought message). I would move my bed to the other side of the room, as far away from that corner as practical. Never had another encounter there, so that did the trick.

A couple of years ago, I set an intention to try something new during my AP session. Why limit myself to this planet? I decided to try and get out into space and I wanted to visit Jupiter.

So in my session, after I got out of my body and did my normal initial routine of getting solidifying and getting outside, I focused on getting there… and it happened! Now, I am not 100% certain I was on Jupiter, or if it was another planet or star, but it was frigging amazing and hyperrealistic.

I was free-falling from the outer atmosphere down towards the centre. The atmosphere was yellowish-orange, but it was also electric.. like there were plasma sparks everywhere. And I was just basically falling like a skydiver before they pull their parachute. So beautiful and alive it was. After maybe 10 seconds or so of this, I decided it was time to get out of there in case I got trapped by the gravity, so I snapped back into my body and woke up immediately.

Yes, I’ve visited other habited planets, but this was my only gas giant adventure. Wondering if anyone else out there has done the same/similar and corroborate this?

Thanks!

Roughly 10 years ago… before I learned how to lucid dream, astral project or RV intentionally, I had a hyperrealist dream of being in a space capsule, viewing the moon. It was so realistic that I was inspired to learn about nano satellites with the idea to put a camera on one and remotely look at the moon live. I didn’t ever get that far with the idea, but still, this reflects how awe-inspiring and realistic the dream was.

Recently with the Artemis II mission, I saw a NASA photo from inside the capsule and the design was EXACTLY like my dream way back then. And there’s no way 10 years ago I would know about a manned moon mission or this design.

So wondering if I am in the right subreddit to discuss this, and if not, any advice on where to share this experience?

This recently happened (16 Feb 2026). I purposefully left my tech behind during this experience, as my intuition was telling me to do so.

At 1am, whilst sleeping, I heard a computer-like voice say “wake up”.. I stayed awake for about 15 minutes, and was thinking I was getting an early notification that something would happen. Back to sleep as nothing was happening.

I then woke up suddenly at 3am. I could see stars through the skylight, but was one moving? Left my glasses downstairs. Had to go get my glasses, so I sent a thought message: “don’t go away, I will be right back”. Back to bed, looking outside the skylight.. yes something in the sky is moving.. yellowish (similar to candlelight) orb… kind of staying in the same spot, but meandering slightly. For context, I live in a remote area surrounded by paddocks, away from the city lights.

I think to the orb, “Wait, I am coming outside.” I have no fear and I am calm. Sending love and peace energies. The instant I open my front door, the outdoor lights at the neighbours across the road (about 10-minutes’ walk away) all turn off. Interesting timing? Their lights aren’t usually on at that hour.

I walk down the dirt path away from my house into a small clearing. The closest town is about 15-minutes drive away and I look somewhat in that direction.. scanning for movement. I see a few moving bright objects, one after the other. They are going in same direction and fading out. Okay, those a most definitely just satellites. Well, that is definitely not the yellowish orb I saw earlier, but I keep focusing in that area for a while. I get into “focus 10” as best I can and then think to “them” that they will need to move in a different direction so I can be certain. Then one of them acts differently.. It is meandering off in the distance, just outside of the town that’s 15 minutes away.. low altitude, like it is scanning the area. Then it fades away… a yellowish orb. I figure the show is over, and turn around to head back home.

I walk back towards my house. Hey there is another one, off in above the field.. much closer and definitely not in the “sky”, but maybe 100 meters in the air. About 1-2km away, not far, I focus my energy on it. It is slowly meandering closer to me over the gum trees, but not heading towards me directly. I feel it scanning me gently, get the shivers. Not scared, but this is psi. I send it thoughts about wanting to care for Earth and all life. It doesn’t tell me anything, it’s just gathering information, I feel. After a while, it too fades away.. just gone.

Show is over. They are gone now 3:30am. Back to bed.

Thank you for that, yellow orb. A night to remember.

On reflection (writing this now as I post, whereas the above text I wrote that morning), I note that both orbs were in close proximity to cemeteries, but was that just coincidence?
