Reality Split

[meadow_wind]

I guess members could use this thread to record any similar observations. I wonder if these types of occurrences will grow in frequency in the future.

Just want to note an important observation before I forget (I almost forgot): it seems I've witnessed a reality split...
- When I met "L.Y." at our 1st date (Nov 9th), he had a black nail on a finger from an injury on his right hand (but I can't remember which finger), and we did not talk about it, so I don't know the cause.

- When I met him at the coffee shop for our relationship closure talk (9 weeks later), he had a black nail on a finger on his left hand and none on his right hand. He showed me and told me he accidentally closed his car trunk on his finger not long ago, and it hurt like hell... My mind froze for a few seconds, and I asked him, "Wasn't it your other hand's nail? And didn't it happen many weeks ago?" He said no and repeated that it was his car trunk and about a week ago.
I was very confused...

I wish I knew why this happened and the implications of it...

I've had a few events like this in my lifetime, I remember once going to a friend's house and asking them about a little decoration they had and having a conversation about it. Went back months later (maybe a year after) and asked about the decoration since it was gone, only to be told that the decoration never existed and the conversation I was mentioning never took place.

It's probably the one I remember the clearest, and so I chugged it up to perhaps I recalled a very vivid dream, which is a possibility.

And that's the one thing I would warn against, seeking patterns where there may be none, before seeking a rational explanation. In the case of the nail, since you didn't discuss it, then perhaps the injury was several weeks old? and so 9 weeks later it would be difficult to recall or not immediately available? or perhaps it wasn't as memorable as the closing of the car door? It's not impossible.

Having said that, I do think that reality operates in very particularly symbolic ways that are sometimes only recognizable to us, and that's enough to sense that a choice we've made has resulted in a change, or that something has shifted in our environment.

I am reminded of this session from January 2023:

(Joe) I have one question: Is there anything to the so-called Mandela Effect other than people's tendency to confuse and conflate information?

A: In some cases it can indicate a change in the "program".

Q: (L) Like déjà-vu?

A: Yes

Human memory is not perfect, we remember what we want or need to remember, but we forget what is not important or what we do not want to remember. This leaves us with only fragments in our memory, which we piece together when we try to remember something. The result is therefore different if several people who were present at the same moment try to remember it, because everyone remembers something different. This has happened to me several times.
