You were given a second chance at life and you're repeating your mistakes all over again, anon.

Yes. I have accurate premonitions about small things in my personal life that are completely unpredictable.
Most recent example: my work will, on very rare occasion take me to PA. In the ~5years I've been doing this, I've gone down there less than a dozen times (less than a 3 hour drive, so so always back by the end of the day). I call in at the end of each day to find out what my assignment is the next day; it is completely random, there is no rhyme or reason, unless there's a dedicated need, in which case we'll be informed of the duration we'll be expected to be on it. Last Wednesday, in the middle of the day, I pictured myself driving down to Warren...so much so that I.pre-planned my route, & where I'd stop for lunch. Keep in mind that I haven't even thought about that trip in over a year, but now it's in my head, & I'm actively planning it. THAT NIGHT WHEN I CALLED ABOUT MY NEXT DAY'S ASSIGNMENT, they tell me the ...Warren.

This is the most recent example, & this happens often with other small, personal things. I've never predicted any major happening, but I have predicted with absolutely stunning accuracy events, though small, in my own life, with absolutely no way of having any forewarning about them at fucking all.

I can't explain that.

There's absolutely no ventilation to the outside down there, and there was no window open upstairs either. Ever since, I've felt a presence of something being there, but this eventually vanished when my grandparents got home. The backyard door also was mysteriously open one day, which can only be opened from the inside due to there being no door handle on the outside.

Interesting. That happened to me in dreams when a teenager and a kid. I would see myself in a very specific situation, but anyone around me would have blurry faces. The other hint is that in the dream, I would feel a very specific emotion. Sometimes it didn't even made any sense, and just looked random. It happened like 5 times. In one case, I've imagined myself in a classroom I was never in before, with three people sitting in very specific poses looking to me and the emotion "joy". In a week or so I was inside that same classroom, telling a funny personal story to three classmates I wasn't very close to. It was lunchbreak, so they were sitting in a very unorganized way. In that moment I noticed the dream happened.

>best guess
None of them sounded like particularly thought out guesses. They all three seemed like somebody jumped swiftly to a conclusion, then labored to justify it.

A door closing on its own could have any number of external causes; he claimed there were no air drifts in the house, but the fact that there was a human moving around in a house will cause wind. Every time you close or open a door, you're going to cause a big gust, and the fact that he had just taken a shower means that there was a bunch of expanding warm air trapped in a small room that was suddenly released when he opened the bathroom door. I'm sure that got some air moving. This is just one possible explanation. It also could have been a rat or the door being imbalanced

Predicting the future sounds like a classic case of confirmation bias. If he thinks about something and nothing special happens related to those thoughts, he forgets about it. If he thinks about something and then something related happens, you remember it as proof of some supernatural predictive power. Consider the shear volume of thoughts you have in a day. It's inevitable that occasionally you'll think about something and then something related will later happen. There also may be subtle external ques that something is going to happen that you recognize subconsciously but don't consciously realize.

Believing in God after a designed experiment of directly asking him is the only one that isn't completely retarded. The details are too sparse for me to try to austistically come up with some alternate explanation like i did with these other two, though. Religious thinking can easily cause very weird mental reactions, though. I'm not surprised that you experienced some sort of religious ecstasy in such a dramatic spiritual moment

Alright, I might. I made some observations so far. One is that increasing the dopamine levels of my brain (Selegiline, Bupropion, Dexamphetamine) increase the rate of these happening, and some get overwhelming.

nope nope nope nope. This was far from the first time I showered with all these factors included. It happened once. It didn't even happen any of the times when I had the windows open downstairs. The house layout just doesn't make any of your speculations possible. It's hard to explain but the bathroom is just too far away from even the stairs of the basement to even have any effect. The bathroom is ventilated and have a small window that let's out the warm air to prevent fogging on the mirrors. My grandparents don't like that. The only ventilation in my room is the window, and it wasn't open. Nothing in the house was open at that time except for the bathroom window which shouldn't have any effect to the doors downstairs unless there's a window open there too. There are neither any rodents there as that would have been noticed by now

Had only the window been open, I would have found a conclusion. But it didn't so that's why I am out of any scientific explanation. The door is even kind of heavy to close, but it was completely shut closed when I got there

I sometimes get something similar to this when i think about locations i have an attachment to, like the schools I've been to (for some odd reason, never got it when thinking about the 3 different homes i've lived in). It's stronger the more stressful of a time i'm thinking of, going with the school example again, when i think of my first day moving to a new school, there is always a distinct smell, the same for every school. The smell is different depending on the situation though, like how i smell something similar to "hospital smell" when thinking about seriously awkward situations.
I don't really know how to word this properly, but this happens during the present, too. It isn't unique to memories. If i think i left the gas on, i can smell something which i have no idea how to describe.
In fact, thinking about that, most of the smells are indescribable... I have nothing to compare them to.

I can relate to that, a lot. It's been a source of a lot of stress in my life. I used to visit this park near my house, at night to stargaze and just relax, walk and think of ideas. I somehow developed a very abstract feeling of belonging, or coming back home whenever I would visit. I was pretty depressed at the time, and that feeling was good enough to bring meaning into my life and motivate to stay productive. One day it just stopped, and I got obsessed with getting it back. Never worked out, sometimes when I am really tired I get a faint sense of it for less than a second, but then it's gone from my grasp again... I feel like I lost an important part of me, like I lost my home.


I feel like a schizo talking non-sense like this, to be honest. In fact, I tried explaining this to a psychiatrist once, and she wanted to get me into lithium...which I refused.

5 years ago I think it was I was reading about Project Stargate. I picked out somebody who was essentially a stranger to me from an IRC channel I went to. The day afterwards, when I had some quiet time to myself, I sat still focusing, trying to read this person's mind. The result was a brief, blurry vision of myself holding a chainsaw and my arm suddenly jerking as though to start it. Though I didn't really "see" it, I just picked up some colors and the idea of "chainsaw" just entered my mind. I asked them that day and it turns out they were indeed working using a chainsaw that day. There were two other cases with a different person in a different IRC channel that were also accurate but very broad descriptions. The important thing though is that it feels completely different from something like dreaming or visualizing. When your mind creates an image, it seems stark; it's never "blurry". I never got any false positives.

I get the same thing happen to me from time to time. Every place I have had some emotional event happen, is linked to a distinct smell that I know I never consciously thought of at the time, each smell is unique to the location, the further back the memory or the greater the emotional impact, the more vivid the smell. Even for places I only visited once.

I've "seen the future" a few times before. Hasn't happened in a long time, but a few times when I was younger I'd have a dream that would later come true. It was all completely random shit, and I don't remember any of the extremely rare times it did happen except one which was about a year apart from the dream to reality. In the dream I was sitting on something and looking at some blurry dark figure in front of a pane of glass with a white background, the person then recoiled because they had bumped their head against a wind chime that was sitting inside hanging from the glass. They straightened it out and shifted position a little and the dream stopped there. Around a year later my parents had a friend of theirs over and he was sitting on top of this wooden chest we have in front of the living room window, and I was on the couch opposite it. The friend was wearing a dark rain jacked because It was overcast that day, but the clouds were really light gray (with the light coming through them they were basically glowing white). Sometime while siting there listening to my parents talk with him, he bumped his head on the wind chime decoration we had hanging inside. the very moment he did that I recalled the dream I'd had and idk, for some reason that one little experience has stuck with me and I can't explain it.

Best guess is that either I dreamed some things at complete random and they just so happened to align with reality at some times, or that I had a few experiences of legitimate deja-vu where the dream never existed until after the event happened. My only problem with the deja-vu thing is that, while I only dreamed it once, I do remember recalling that dream and thinking about it for no particular reason at all at least a couple times between when I "saw it" and it actually happened which would mean that my deja-vu fabricated those moments as well, which as far as I can tell is not how it is suppose to work.

Music by itself is not enjoyable, it's literally just background noise. You can relate some of the sounds in it to activities / events that happened near and around you when you heard them and then upon hearing those sounds again recall your experiences, but that degrades over time and it's "never as good as the first time" because the first time contained the actual experience. People who love music are the equivalent of drug addicts. There's nothing wrong with music itself, and in moderation it can enhance experiences, but if you listen to music all the time or have playlists that you frequent then you need to therapy.

Probably the additives. This happened to me but then I discovered German Beer and the "pure beer law". Now all good, but a class of the gaseous concoction known as 'beer' in the US or most other countries and I have a killer headache.

At the age of 5 or 6 (or 7. Fuck knows) I was in bed and heard creaking and saw my office chair was spinning back and forth, slowly. I freaked out and sought refuge in my parents' bed.

I don't think I gave it much thought afterwards, but it was probably a hallucination. Maybe the mind is more impressionable at that age.

I have this too, pretty frequently. I'm not superstitious or anything but no deja vu explanation I've read adequately explains this phenomenon. The sensation is so strong I have to stop everything I'm doing until it fades.

I think it's probably an error in the memory creation process of the brain. Perhaps right after the brain stores a memory it accidentally immediately recalls it or something.

Lotta psychological phenomenon I witnessed while working an internship at a mental hospital over a few years.

Had a kind of ad-hoc study going on where intakes deemed potentially schizoaffective were asked to describe the meaning of simple metaphors. When asked, "What is meaning of 'One who lives in a glass house should not throw stones'?" they nearly all answered that it means one should 'crush the stone to dust and take it outside first', or words to that effect.

It's commonly known that an acute schizoaffective state caused by a drug-induced serotonin imbalance disables the brain's ability to interpret metaphor, even by rote, but the fact that they all came up with the same was weird as fuck.

Also had a disturbing number of intakes eating their own shit to "retain their power", at the rate of 2-3 per week, but I suppose I could chalk that up to some drug dealer fucking with people.

Nearly every patient we put in this one room would draw a boxed hourglass on the wall. I think maybe the previous vandalism wasn't always painted over well, so maybe it was just imitation once or twice, but there were at least a few times where I couldn't see the old graffiti at all.

Outside of that... Lived and passed through a few semi-shit neighborhoods in my life enough times to witness some odd universal behavior among the homeless - and worked with them in a few programs in different cities. Old homeless that collect cans, and claim they are saving souls in the process, I ran into a few times in different cities on both coasts. I also once saw three people, who clearly were not homeless, and looked like they were from a church group, talking to a kid who was clearly drugged out of his mind, and telling him he could collect trash to save souls. This reminded me of a group session during the aforementioned internship, where one guy claimed three "angels" came to him and told him the same thing, in an entirely different city.

Just, weird shit (sometimes literally).

Far be it from me to kill the magic of music, but...

Long story short, there are paired neurons related to hearing that are either in sync or out of sync based on harmonics, and when they are synced, the experience is soothing, and when they are out of sync, disturbing. This is a communicative aid found in most mammals and birds that allows one to distinguish between vocalizations of distress or vocalizations of encouragement. (Some reptiles have a primitive system like this as well, though their tonal perceptions are kinda "shifted" compared to ours.) In our case, it is key to language and the emotional expression behind words.

In this fashion, music communicates to us in a preverbal fashion.

Thus, while emotive memory is a factor (as >>9187615 suggests) it isn't required. Children and animals previously unexposed to music will be lulled or excited by it to the degree of hypnotic effect. (Not that some folks with certain brain disorders don't simply interpret all music as "noise".)

Memory is a factor in that the brain anticipates certain patterns as it is exposed to more and more music over time. And really, particularly in western culture, almost all music shares certain patterns:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdxkVQy7QLM
When the brain runs into a pattern that it's not expecting, the effect similar to that of receiving a dissonant sound, and this is both perplexing and irritating, breaking the effect. This behavior of the pattern recognition system is not restricted to music, of course, but in this case, it takes the brain out of a meditative state, and puts it in analysis mode, and the two systems start fighting with one another, thus annoyance and irritation.

Not that the brain can't learn to like new music, it's just a matter of learning and falling into the new patterns and making new associations.

Long story long:

Like a weird unsettling feeling, sort of like nausea of my own existence and all of humanity's existence. How nothing really makes sense, the more I learn, the less uncertain everything becomes. The more I study the scientific method and read papers, the more flaws and a nagging sense of uncertainty perpetuates. I don't know how to explain it. I used to be very naive and think science was 100% fact, certainty and that I could trust science. But as I am getting older, I see these mediocre peers of mine enter academia, I feel sick. That these people will be the ones pushing the boundaries of human truth. That a lot of genius go undiscovered simply because of chance or ill fated timing. That things, despite an organized, civil appearance really lack structure, that no matter how much we try to discover the ultimate truth, everything is pretty much suspended in entropy and uncertainty. I just feel very sick about existence. I feel sick there are all these walking brain dead people walking around, some even capable of making tons of money, but ultimate truths go untouched because most of humanity are concerned with such frivolous things like power, material desires, social standing. I just can't exist in this place. Nothing makes sense to me and I am very disenchanted by everything. I wish I did not exist sometimes but along with me, I wish everything else did not exist either.

It's a social and emotional defense mechanism, not a physical one. It stops you from dwelling too long on logical absurdities, defuses tense social situations, and distances yourself from potential traumas. It promotes stability in the individual and unity in the collective, soothing what might otherwise be traumatic, thus promoting the wellbeing of the family and tribe, thus collectives that have it are less apt to fragment and more apt to survive.

Granted, it's a highly malleable and culturally variant one, both collectively and individually, but well, they kinda all are.

You need to laugh more, both at the world and yourself.

Albeit, part of the disillusionment of adulthood is realizing that all these infallible expert heroes and, well, adults, you've been looking up to your whole life, are in fact mere humans, meandering their way through every bit as clumsily as you do, sometimes more, sometimes less. You learn that, society, as a whole, covers for a whole lotta incompetence and uncertainty in all its institutions. At the same time, all that shit we've done and built and discovered, that held you in awe as a child, is nonetheless still a product of those same flawed humans, haphazardly working their way through it all while bumping into one another. So, while not all the cream rises to the top, some always does, what does work, we tend to keep, and most manage to contribute a little something to that ever growing stack, no matter how minute the contribution maybe, and it generally outlasts those who instead take from it. Plus, in the end, even that collective incompetence and corruption is a motivation - necessity being the mother of invention and all.

Whenever I am around my friends, I start to think about a subject or a song. Then a few seconds later, one of them either start talking about that said topic or start singing/humming that song
At first I thought I was just not paying much attention and they were talking about it or singing while my mind is somewhere else. But I've proven to myself that this is wrong as I have recently paid attention to topics and such and still once in a while predict topics and songs a few seconds before it happens

It has to do with patterns. Im not just talking about "MUH MUSICAL RATIOS". im talking about why we tend to enjoy music conceptually. if you had a one stringed guitar that could only play one tone at a time you could still play some of the great masterpeices.

Music is should be on the edge of music and chaos. The same note repeated over and over again is so orderly it's boring, while random notes are so unorderly your brain just mooshes them all together and gets bored. the trick is to give something orderly for your brain to latch onto (a rythym or motif) and mix it up from there. Hell, we could even use just drums. A single beat repeated ad infinatum is boring, while beats that are completly random in interval is also boring. but give the beats a slight mix, like one two three fooooourr... one two three fooooourr. etc.. and it's a little bit compelling.

Doesn't happen often, a few times a year, usually lying in bed about to sleep. Brain will suddenly flip into hype drive and I will start get getting intense images flashing through my mind. No noise, no smell, just images.Like a series of photographs being quickly flipped right in front of your eyes. Very quickly. Like a quick glance and then its gone, Whatever I do I cant hold onto one image before its immediately replaced with another. Nor can I "switch" off this storm of images if I stay in bed I just have to ride with it until it finally stops, usually in about an hour. If I get up and start doing stuff then it will stop nearly immediately, but usually I just "watch" it, its so bizarre.

Its fascinating to watch, for the images are entirely random. Can be people, close up, far way, places, buildings, usually its mundane, just like looking through someones family photo album, the images never mean anything to me. Sometimes, but not often, the images can be accompanied by emotions, so incredibly fleeting.I never know what or why there is a connection between the image and the emotion.

I have never once seen an image that is related to me in any way that I can recall. Not from my life, nor from a TV show or movie, not from anything I imagined when I was reading a book. The people I see are clear, but they are all strangers, the scenery is never familiar. This is the most interesting thing for me when this happens, I am just lying there watching this random slideshow rushing through my mind and wondering "Where the hell is all of this coming from?"

Logically of course it must be my brain manufacturing these images.But why the fuck is it doing that and why are the images so intense and apparently random and completely unfamiliar?

Its something I don't fear or anything, its just weird and in a way entertaining. Like, when it begins I am "oh wow, here it comes again, lets see what the ride brings this time"

2. you need to hold down a button, use some force snd turn the handle 180 degrees to open it.
