I believe I’m just a living being on Earth with no supernatural abilities as such. Additionally, I’m a very ambitious person, besides my 9–5 designing job, I’m preparing to become a diplomat. It’s a precious dream of mine. So, during one of my evening walks, it felt like the fabric of time and space ripped apart, transporting me to a completely different place I had never seen before. I stopped walking. It was a crossroad bustling with people, cars, and stores. I was just standing there, looking all around me. I could smell the gasoline from the cars and the deodorant/perfume of the people walking past me. Then I abruptly snapped back into my neighborhood. It was a weird experience 😕 I still think about it, and the more I do, the more confused I become. And honestly, I’m scared too.

It was in the evening (precisely twilight). I was completing my daily step goals in our backyard. I can’t really express what happened to me, but all I remember is that I felt relatively light before I was teleported (idk if I was teleported or the place came to me). There were cars, a bustling street, tall buildings. I could hear sounds. A market. I just stood there. I felt a strange familiarity with that place, as if I had known it for a long, long time without seeing it ever in my waking life. Then I snapped back into reality. I don’t know what this experience was, as it has never happened to me before. It felt like the fabric of time and space ripped, just the way an opera theatre’s curtain is pulled.Has anything like this ever happened to anyone? Is it normal?

For context: I’m a fashion grad. I worked with two fashion houses before I got laid off. I tried really hard to find another job, but nothing worked out. Then I decided to go for postgrad, but even after two years of hard work and multiple entrance exams, that didn’t happen either. Right now, I’ve moved on from all that and I’m preparing to be a diplomat.The dream diplomat job of mine it’s so precious to me that I can’t even think about it for too long, because I’m scared what if I don’t get it like other ones.

I was just walking on my terrace as usual and I saw a SHOOTING STAR!  Not even a “maybe that was something” type, a proper one with single light, no blinking, moving fast, got brighter before fading out completely. I’ve seen like once in my entire life before this. And this is my third one between April–May. What even is happening 😭 Also my birthday is on 6th May, so the timing just felt a little extra special for some reason. It took place in the N-E direction and bbviously I made a wish(had to, rules are rules)
