r/ParallelUniverse

Parallel universes have always fascinated me — not just in science fiction, but in how different cultures and philosophies imagine them.
• Physics talks about the multiverse as a possibility, with infinite versions of reality branching from every choice.
• Myth and spirituality often describe echo worlds or shadow realms where destinies unfold differently.
• Even psychology plays with the idea — “what if” lives we carry in memory or dream.
What I find most intriguing is how these ideas overlap: science, myth, and imagination all pointing to the possibility that reality isn’t singular.
Do you think parallel universes are just a metaphor we use to process choices and regrets, or could they be something more literal?

I want to travel to a parallel universe in 2007. Is it possible?

I had one of the heaviest and most intense dreams yesterday and it’s still messing with my head. I was listening to a 432Hz + 963Hz playlist something in YT and slept 2hrs 44 mins to be exact, I usually listen to this every night.

At some point I completely shifted into a parallel version of myself while asleep. I am fully integrated with that identity, I have no recollection of my waking memories, I am not lucid, pure experience of being in that dimension. I felt the depth of her emotions and what she's going through, which apparently heavier than my reality.

In there, my late mom is still alive. I was in a really bad argument with my mom, full of anger and control. I had quit my job and she was forcing me to go pick up my little sister from school. I was very aware that I could just sleep and jump to another dimension. I kept thinking “I’m done, I’m so done” and genuinely believed that if I fell asleep, I wouldn’t wake up in that world anymore. So I went to sleep there hoping it would let me escape… but I woke up still in that reality. I looked in the mirror and saw my eyes were swollen and I had scratches on my face. I had no choice but to continue the day.

Then the bell from the frequency playlist rang here, the playlist ended, and I instantly snapped back. It's like closing my eyes there and opening it in this reality, not the usual waking up from sleep.

What really struck me was that this version of me was fully aware of multidimensional jumping, just like I am. She wasn’t living unconsciously, she also knew the game.

This answered the question in my head that multiverse is real, does other "us" also has consciousness.

I am a vivid dreamer and I always believed that dreams are tapping into other dimension of ourselves. And for me, this was the most parallel I've ever experienced.

English is not my native language. I write simple, but I try to share important thing. Please be patient with my grammar.

This is from shamanic session I did with subject I call Omar. He is adult man from Houston area. During healing soul journey, he dropped into theta brainwave trance. Past childhood. Past trauma. All way to before he was born.

What he found there was not what anyone expect.

Before incarnation, Omar and his mother were together. No bodies. No space between them. Just consciousness. He describe it like this: "Like there's no separation and there's no space. I feel more like a blob than anything else." She was close, another node of awareness next to him.

Then he saw something like checklist. Experiences this life would bring. Weakness. Helplessness. Hard things. And he did not want to go.

He said: "I don't think I want to go." It will be difficult.

But then he undrestood that this is how light expands into darkness and help others. "It feels like it's a required experience." His Higher Self showed him why. The point was not to fix anything. The point was to understand. "It's not for changing. It's for understanding." You can study suffering from outside. But you only know it by living it.

His mother agreed on soul level to play the harsh role. Her mission was to make him tough enough for this world. She did it. But there was cost. Some beings volunteer for dark roles. Not because they are evil. Because the plan requires it.

When we finished, Higher Self had simple message. "Love everyone. Let go. Learn to forgive."

The Lesson

You chose this life. Even the painful parts. Not because you deserve suffering, but because before incarnating you wanted to understand something that can only be learned through direct experience. The people who hurt you may have been volunteers too. This does not excuse what happened. But it can change how you carry it.

Practical Exercise

Find quiet place where nobody will disturb you for twenty minutes. Sit or lie down, whatever is comfortable. Close eyes.

Take five slow breaths. On each exhale, let your body get heavier. Feel the weight of your arms, your legs, your head sinking into whatever supports you.

Now imagine you are standing at the edge of a vast, dark space. Not scary dark. More like the dark before stars were born. Warm. Infinite. This is the space before incarnation. Before body. Before name.

Step into it. Let yourself float. There is no ground, no direction. Just awareness.

Ask silently: "Show me the moment before I came here."

Do not force anything. Let image, feeling, or knowing come on its own. Maybe you see light. Maybe you feel presence of other beings near you. Maybe you sense a decision being made. Maybe you feel reluctance, like something inside you did not want to go. That is okay. Just observe.

If you see or feel something, stay with it. Do not analyze. Do not judge. Just be there, like you are watching a memory that is older than your body.

When you feel ready, take three slow breaths and come back. Open eyes slowly. Write down whatever you got, even if it make no sense. Especially if it make no sense. The logical mind will try to explain it away. Let it be strange.

Do this for seven days in row. First time you may see nothing. That is normal. The door opens when you stop knocking so hard. By day three or four, something usually surface. A feeling, a image, a knowing that was not there before. Trust it.

an interesting aspect of this place is how openly secret societies run this place

as well as how evil they are.

sacrificing children, using them in evil rituals to some demonic dieties

(it feels like an section of an old movie i watched as a teen V/H/S in this section of the film a spanish man builds a gate to another parallel reaality with another version of himself having done the same things.

everything seems normal at first till he looks at all of the religious effigies on the wall and notices how everyone worships demon cults and have demonic appendages in place of actual genetals)

shits crazy (hope i never end up there)

lol trump was unironically elected, and on speaking with other people about this i was surprised at the level of support such an vulgar and obvious con artist was able to become president like lol what.

it was a joke back in 2016 but now its just bleak reality

And by gross I mean morally repugnant. Because it implies that the suffering is infinite. Like countless universes with slavery and all the other horrendous stuff humanity and other potential sentient beings did throughout history. I find it hilarious that fictional works barely mention these ethical implications. At least in some fictional worlds the multiverse is finite, like 52 parallel worlds in some iterations of DC's. ("The Multiversity", "New 52")

This is going to sound crazy and it's a small thing but I swear I saw the trailer for We Used to Live Here by Marcus Kilewer in early 2025 or late 2024. I vividly remember seeing the trailer when I was looking for horror movies to watch with my wife and I can map out the entire trailer in my head and I remember what the house and the people looked like. Does anyone else remember this or am I going crazy? I tried to find a similar movie but nothing is coming up PLUS I remember it having this EXACT name. This is the first time something like this had happened to me. I'm freaking out. I've NEVER heard of this author or book until today but when I saw the book name I immediately told my wife that there's a movie out for it and told her what it was about without looking at the blurb for the actual book. I did see that netflix has the movie rights but I know for a fact I've never seen or heard of this book until today. I've ONLY seen the trailer for it.

Hi, i’m the poster of this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/ParallelUniverse/s/h4ZDITurh0

Since some were curious about what’s the difference between this timeline and my original timeline.

I'll try to separate it into posts, so no one suffers from reading too much.

Here’s the biggest differences i caught so far based on your wiki and what I could remember from my history classes.

The biggest difference was ww1 no side won, both exhausted, italy with a relatively intact power and under the influence of the Vatican used the chance to take what it can from the Ottoman Empire. that includes north Africa and northern parts of the arab peninsula.

That made the Vatican one of the top powerful organizations

Hitler was still a thing in our timeline, and he was a religious racist fanatic. killed and deported a lot of the people and the ones who escaped were deported later to the northern of arab peninsula.

for ww2 The allies were different, and japan didn’t get involved at all since it was busy with war with china and as a result it wasn't bombed.

It was Germany against France and the British . Russia and US got involved later as after 5 years from the war started when the situation was extremely bad for the world economy, the war continued for 7 years ( not sure ), and ended up with negotiation and a peace treaty.

There was no war airplanes involved because they weren't made until 1960.

Both sides took heavy losses, and it ended up weakening everyone involved, Germany surrendered after

By the end of it people were desperate, which allowed the Vatican and different religious leaders from different religious groups to gain more power.

Arab peninsula was a lot more fractured with more than 16 countries ( not sure of the count ) all fighting internally.

There's no cold war, no space race. Most of us didn’t know anything about space or the stars.

As for the soviet union, it got broken directly after ww2, and Russia got separated to 7 states. as for China it wasn’t big as it’s now.

By 2001 Europe had a civil unrest, demanding separation between religion and the state, 2003 same happened in the US.

This is all rather silly and I get it if I get no replies, but I have had 1 in my past (dated) and one in my life who I think is open spiritually. Both of them has spontanously commented that I was always popular, as in school. This make me laugh as I remember the time, place I made the better call bot to be part of some girls team for the popular, did not like how they were.

Just as of yesterday the one I'm close to again stated I had always been popular, when we went back in time and this person looked puzzled. Could it had been one of those important choices you do in life, and then you create this parallel universe where one decision lives on? I liked onw of the popular ones, a girl, but I still refused, came to that decision.

The guy I dated I began to date long after those years in school was done with.

Ever since Tuesday of 12 – May – 2026 three things have changed first it started minor a little air pocket in my wall that my Dad swears has been there or just showed up because of a nail and a little chip and paint.

Then a birthmark on my neck that I’ve never seen before, but all the photos in my phone I half of myself that I could see that side of my neck have that birthmark.

And now there is an electrical box I have never seen my dad swears. It’s been here since we moved here. All the photos on Google maps have it every house listing and old photos of this house have it, but in all my memories, it doesn’t exist.

I’ve been curious about this topic and what others think. A neuroscientist said before a decision is made, multiple futures exist simultaneously… based off the choice one makes, they are choosing that reality, therefore all the other variations do not exist anymore after that.

So, my question is… if something is meant to be, will it be? Or will it only be if you made that specific choice? Like if we were supposed to meet someone that day by going on that trip, will we meet them another time? Or were we not supposed to go on that trip and that’s why we didn’t choose it?

also, what are your thoughts about wishing you chose a different choice? Like going on that trip instead of staying home. Or saying something instead of not.

anything else you want to add to this feel free.

Guys, I just realized that we might already over the lightspeed. I used a whole night to think about it. Here is the explanation:

First, starting from our Earth. Earth orbits the sun using about 20000 km/s, that's a small step to the lightspeed. By the way, it also gets effects from large plamets such as Jupiter and Saturn, Uranus, Neptune.

Second, the sun orbits the central black hole of the Milky Way which is almost uncountable, we count it as 100000 km/s. Also, the solar system is located in the Orion Helical Arm of the Milky Way, it gets effects from the suns in the Orions.

Third, the Milky Way is located in the Virgo Supercluster which we count as 100000 km/s, that's almost the lightspeed. It also gets effects from the other systems.

Fourth, the Virgo Supercluster is located in the Narnia-Caesar Supercluster. We count it as 1000000 km/s. That's almost 4 times over the lightspeed.

Fifth, there might be other huge suns or black holes outside of Narnia-Caesar Supercluster or even the observable universe, that's uncountable.

Go back to Earth, we've made machines that can accelerate atoms to 99.9% of lightspeed.

Now I've proved it. But there is more!

Based on physics, the item gets closer to lightspeed, the time besides it gets slower, but if we get over it, the time will basically reverse!

NOW I THINK YOU GUYS GOT MY POINT, PLEASE SAY SOMETHING TO PROVE ME WRONG OR SOMETHING.

I'll try to get as much info in this post as possible while trying to keep it rather short. So many things have happened that make absolutely no sense.

- When I was 15, we almost ran into a head on collision in the middle of the highway really late at night. A drunk driver got on the highway the wrong way, both drivers were dead on impact. Nobody was on scene yet. It was at the 10.0 mile marker... now it's 26.0

- My boyfriend and I swear we remember my brother playing soccer, at least for one year in high school. His brother even swears we had pictures of him on the team. In this timeline, he never did. My parents paid for him to play, but he had a panic attack at the first practice and quit. Nobody else was allowed to play sports because they blew so much money on soccer and he didn't go.

- I remember my boyfriend's mom dying slightly differently. She died on the way to the hospital, but I remember her falling over on her porch and dying. Vividly.

This last one is why I'm making this post.

My best friends in high school have a huge family. We were all extremely close. I'm talking going on vacations together, pretty much living at each other's houses, etc.. Their aunt came into my bakery last week. She has 2 grandkids with her and I asked if they were her son's kids. She replies, "No they're my daughter's! My son doesn't have kids."

This didn't sit right with me because I REMEMBER him having a son... I saw pictures of them together... he proposed to his girlfriend when he was a few months old.. I MADE HIS BABY SHOWER CAKE. I had a whole conversation with his aunt picking up the cake!! She said she was gonna "beat his ass for getting a girl pregnant at 21" and I told her I had mine at 20, she was like, "yeah, I guess my son has his kid young too."

So I asked her again, "Dude, are you sure?? I swear he had a kid." His mom proceeds to tell me he was with a girl that had a daughter for a while, but they broke up. She told me he's never gotten anyone pregnant or ever been engaged at all... and we were literally talking family drama, so there was no reason to lie about it. She was genuine. My friends said, "Maybe it wasn't his??" But according to her, there was never a baby shower... because there was never a baby.. I didn't make a cake for him... this made me physically nauseous for hours. I made my sister call me from work and asked, "Does he have a kid??" She said, "Yeah, he has a son. Why?"
