Took this photo just the other day and noticed a glitch In the Matrix. Dead center of the photo, shot on an IPhone 17 at Tilamook Head Tr, OR. Anyone experience something like this before?

Hello everyone. This is what happened to me.

To give you some context, I used to practice divination and other esoteric practices. My father was a shaman, and my mother was deeply interested in the world of the occult and spirituality.

I've always been someone who dreams a lot. I've had every kind of dream imaginable—from nightmares about terrorist attacks, to dreams about having sex with a complete stranger, to dreams where I could fly.

About ten years ago, I had a dream that I'm convinced changed the dimension or reality I was living in.

I was around 17 or 18 years old at the time. My best friend had serious health problems—he had undergone a heart transplant and had a large scar covering much of his upper body.

One night, I went to sleep and had a dream unlike anything I'd ever experienced. I've had lucid dreams, out-of-body experiences, and countless ordinary dreams before, but this one was completely different. I know every dream is unique, but the nature of this one was something I've never experienced again.

I suddenly appeared in a place of complete darkness. Then I started falling... and falling... and falling. I know falling dreams are common, so at first it didn't seem unusual. But while I was falling through this endless darkness, red horizontal and vertical lines began to appear around me, almost like a giant grid.

I fell the equivalent of 23 floors.

Then I woke up.

From that moment on, I felt different.

I continued living my life normally, but over time I realized that many things had changed.

My father, who had been a shaman, completely stopped practicing. My mother, who had always believed in it but never seemed capable of practicing herself, eventually became a well-known shaman—not because of money, but because of her work and reputation.

My best friend survived.

My female best friend died by suicide.

But more than anything else... I changed.

My brother calls it "the power of words." I completely stopped practicing anything related to the occult, but somehow my words seem to influence the people around me.

For example, I once told a coworker to pack up his life, move to another country, find a new job, and start over. Three weeks later, he had moved to Switzerland.

It feels as though the things I say somehow shape the decisions people make.

At the same time, my own life is a disaster. I constantly feel like I don't belong in this world, as if I'm somehow out of place.

I'm posting this on Reddit as a last resort because I honestly feel like it's my last chance of finding an answer.

Context: This happened on my birthday 3 years ago. We drove to Mississippi to lodge and gamble at the Golden Nugget. I had never been to a casino before, and it was my 31st birthday.

I apologize if this ends up being a long post, but ill try and cut to the chase.

My wife and I arrived at The Golden Nugget around 4:30pm on a Thursday. I keep my airpods on my keychain and the latch is loose. I didnt know it at the time, but if I slung my keys hard enough, the case would fling open and my airpods would slide out. Thats exactly what I did and there is no other explanation for how I lost it. I was really bummed because I had just taken a Delta-8 gummy and wanted to go outside the casino, watch a couple videos and smoke my vape. I knew I had an hour max until the gummy was going to hit so I went right to work. My job has been IT since the start, so I had a lot of experience working with issues like this. I opened the Find My app and tried making a sound around the room. I didnt hear anything, and I knew I wasnt going to hear anything outside or in the casino, so I went with a different approach. I cant remember how many apps I tried, including the Find My feature that leads you to your bluetooth devices. The one that worked the best was something like Wonderfind. At this point, I have retraced my steps one hundred times from when we arrived up until we got into the room. The casino staff probably thought I was a weirdo for staring at the floor while walking in and out of the casino.

This is exactly our movements:

• Pulled into parking space far away from the correct door.
• Once we checked into the hotel, we walked back to the car and parked closer so we wouldnt have to carry our stuff so far.
• We walked in the main lobby of the casino, sat at 4 machines for a while, I got my wife 2 drinks from a bar, watched some blackjack, and then headed up to the room where my wife went to bed and I was prepping for my relaxation time. She wanted to go to sleep a bit earlier that night, so it was about 8pm by now.

Cut back to me retracing my steps, looking under machines, trying to get a faint signal of the airpod. Eventually, I get a signal! Its dinging faintly and I keep losing it, but after figuring out the correct direction to walk in, the signal started getting stronger and stronger. When I was essentially on top of it, I noticed that it took me to the first place we parked. I had forgotten that we parked in a different area when we first got there. I got really excited, but the app wasnt telling me exactly where it was. So I started looking under and in-between cars, especially in the spots around where we parked. There was a car in the spot we had parked in earlier, so I got on my stomach and took a look under. I didnt see anything, but as I was getting up, I noticed something on the white parking line. It was A left apple earbud. I immediately knew it wasnt mine since I had Pros and have never owned the regular ones (pros fit better, i got weird shaped ears). The thing that bothers me though is that when I checked the app again for a signal, it had completely vanished. I walked back and forth through that parking deck so many times, my wife ended up calling me at 2am worried sick that something had happened to me. I explained to her what happened (including the part about taking a gummy) and she was as confused as I was. I called it a night and took the other airpod with me to remind myself that this whole thing actually happened because WTF.

Edit for missing details:

• I lost the left earbud
• My earbud was fully charged and could only have been out of the case, unused for 4-5 hours. They last longer when they are being actively used, so the likelihood of it being dead is low.
• The earbud I found looked like it had been there for quite some time. It was scuffed up with dirt deep into the plastic. It blended in so well to the white paint, that I dont doubt its been there for quite some time. The likelihood of it still having battery is low.
• The app was WunderFind and the signal it was leading me to was the apple pro earbud. I knew it was the correct signal because I tested it with my other earbud and it worked exactly the same.

Almost everyone has experienced it. You stand up from the couch, your vision suddenly fades, everything turns gray or black for a few seconds, and sometimes you even feel dizzy. It feels strange, but there's actually a simple explanation.

When you stand up quickly, gravity pulls blood toward your legs. For a brief moment, less blood reaches your brain. Since your brain depends on a constant supply of oxygen, even a short drop in blood flow can make your vision fade or cause dizziness. Your body reacts almost instantly by making your heart beat faster and tightening your blood vessels to restore normal blood pressure. In most healthy people, the whole process only takes a few seconds.

This is called orthostatic hypotension. It can happen more often if you're dehydrated, haven't eaten for a long time, are very tired, have been lying down for a while, or take certain medications.

Most of the time it's harmless. But if it happens frequently, causes you to faint, or starts occurring for no obvious reason, it's worth getting checked by a healthcare professional.

Your eyes aren't failing.

Your brain is simply waiting for the blood to catch up.

Woke up from a nap to find this on my hand..

Took an afternoon nap yesterday (3rd July) after a shower. Slept for like 4 hours and woke up with this on my hand. I live alone and the house was locked up. I do have cameras but they're all facing outside the house, still checked for for any unusual audio but nothing was amiss..

I'm still puzzled and somewhat rattled..

“A beam of light hits my textured wall and the drywall texture literally looks like it disappears. When a shadow crosses it, the texture comes back. I know it’s probably camera exposure/glare, but it looks like the wall is rendering in and out like a Matrix glitch.”

This small handbag I used to keep for travel had one pen in it because, right when you have to fill out customs forms during international travel, finding a pen is always a crisis. Mild panic, even. I remember the pen's click mechanism had broken, but I kept it because it was still functional.

Now, going on the minimalist wagon, I decided to donate all my extra handbags and was checking inside this one since I often kept some cash on hand while traveling.

Only to find the same exact pen in it. But this one was intact.

I don't remember buying a new one. Even if I did, why would I put it where there was already a pen?

Your mind is so powerful. Today I was thinking of princess bubblegum; and a video of her suddenly pops up in my feed; when I had no intention of researching, or have ever researched adventure time online. I was thinking about her birth clip.

I filled my ice cube tray last night and put it in the freezer. Went to get ice this morning, and this is what I found! This is exactly how I sat it in the freezer, nothing on top of it...

How?!?!

Found a restaurant with a railroad crossing in there parking lot. found it on google maps
