And to this day you still can't figure it out!

When an ex-TV show host declared that he's running for the presidency.#2
I was on a road trip with family to attend a graduation in Colorado, and because there was a large number of us from out of town, we were staying at a rental house. We arrived to the subdivision late at night and we (there were two cars) had so much trouble finding the right street, but we finally somehow got there. The next morning, my brother and I decided to drive to another town while everyone else slept to have breakfast with the family of the graduate. We left our subdivision and just as we were about to get to a main road, I made a wrong turn that led us into another subdivision that was still being built in the middle of open fields. Some houses were done, others were being worked on, and there were some construction guys around. There were only a few streets and blocks, probably 6 or 7, but for some odd reason, I couldn’t find our way back out! When I realized the street we were on wasn’t leading us through to get to the main road, I thought it would be simple to go around a block and find the way we had come in. But somehow it led me back into the inner streets! I tried going around another block, but kept ending up in the inner part of the subdivision. So I thought I would drive through the outer streets, some of which were still under construction, but again, somehow they would lead us back in. I was getting frustrated at first, but with each time we would end up in the inner streets, I started to freak out a little. My brother wasn’t saying much other than suggesting we go this way or that way. At one point I stopped by where some guys were working on a house, and sheepishly asked them how I could drive out of there to get onto the main road. They looked at me like I was nuts – after all, this was such a small subdivision. They directed me to go a way I had already tried twice, so I hesitated. I asked if that was the only way and they said yes. Got back in the car, went that way, still got lost. At this point I stopped the car and asked my brother what the heck was going on. He didn’t know what to say but I could tell he kept trying to find a reasonable explanation and said to try going another way, which again, we had already tried. There were only so many combination of turns we could make, and I felt like we had tried them all. I seriously was about to cry, and I’m someone who can keep their composure and think clearly in stressful times, but this was just not something I had experienced in real life, just in my dreams (or nightmares). Also, I’m pretty good with directions and aware of my cardinal points. At one point I saw one of the construction guys get in his work truck and drive off, so I figured he was going out of the subdivision. I followed him and sure enough, we were able to get out. The way he went had been one of the ways we had already tried! To this day I cannot explain it and every time I’ve asked my brother about it, he always says that we must have just kept missing some street that led out. I’m just not so sure and I'll never forget the panic I felt!#3
When the whole of New York City flooded...oh my god. Plus Greece and Italy wildfires. And to be honest, the entire of 2020.#4
For a few months, I lived in a house that was plagued by paranormal activity. For example, one day I saw a lamp swiped off the top of a dresser and smashed into bits on the floor. The lamp just didn't fall off the edge, it was swiped off and thrown down with force. The floor was carpeted, so if it had just fallen it might have cracked, but not broken into bits. Anyway, on to the "dreaming" part.I woke up one night sensing a heavy presence in a dressing area just off the main bedroom. I had a "freeze" reaction where I could not move.
The presence moved into the room and "sat" on the corner of the bed--I felt the mattress compress under its weight. My feeling was that it was a dense ball of energy that had it not been employing some means of supporting itself would have instantaneously sank to the center of the earth.
That's when I woke up and spun myself out of bed, throwing myself against the opposite wall. My arms were spread out like a cross as this dark ball of energy hovered on the bed. I looked down and my feet were a good six inches off the floor.
I started reciting, "In the name of the father, the son, and the holy spirit" as I was held suspended--hey, I'm not a religious person, but I figured if it worked in horror movies...! Gradually, I began sinking down until my feet finally touched the floor.
The next thing I knew, it was morning and I woke up in bed with no doubt in my mind that it had all actually happened. The only clue that it was a dream was that I had only recently moved into the house and there were still a couple of boxes I hadn't unpacked on the floor. In the "dream," those boxes weren't there.

Definitely when I confessed my feelings to my now-wife and she told me that she feels the same way. Pretty much everything since that day has felt like it must be a dream...#6
Working, for months I was dong nothing but walkthrough medal detectors. I dreamt I was directing people through them. When I got cold, I remembering thinking "I'm out of uniform." Very out of uniform, I was naked. I started to freak out because I thought I went to work naked, took a minute for reality to come back. I'd sat up in bed and thought my doorway was the medal detector, I really was cold and naked.#7
when i was at my dads house me and my step-mom where just watching family feud and all of a sudden the bathroom door somehow opens on its own and it opened slow and it even did that creepy ass creaking sound. at first we thought my sister was in the bathroom but she was upstairs and we legit though our house was haunted! this isint the only creepy ass thing that happened in that house, but thats a story for another time.#8

When my son was 6 days old and rushed to a large children's hospital (I will not give the name of the hospital and will say that I have lived in several states in the US). While trying to rest on a bench in a waiting room I was awoken by a doctor telling me that there was a mix-up in the pharmacy that was overlooked by nurses and though they apologize they needed to tell me that my son was given a concentrated dose of magnesium instead of the pediatric dose he was supposed to be given, effectively paralyzing his respiratory system. He was in a coma and put on life support. I had had an emergency C-section less than a week before and I thought for a few minutes that it was a dream caused by the high dose of pain killers I was on. I wish I had been but am grateful that besides this total oversight the hospital DID save his life in the end (his calcium and magnesium levels were the lowest that his pedi had ever seen in a child that was still alive). He is now 14 year old.#11
9/11! Sister called me, told me to watch TV, some Towers in NY were burning. It looked not real, more like a bad dream ... :(#12
I was driving at dusk down an enormous hill near where I grew up. All of a sudden the moon began to rise above the trees to the right of the road at the base of the hill below me. It was huge. It looked like a giant glowing orb rising out of the forest. It was so large it spanned my entire windshield. I had to pull over to watch it, just in complete shock. On my phone it would not show up the same so I just stopped trying to record it or take pictures and just watched it. As it kept rising it shrank smaller until it was normal sized. I looked it up not long after and apparently it’s called “The Moon Illusion.” Its a known optical illusion. I think the angle of the hill and horizon somehow exaggerated it. I’ve seen the illusion since then a few times but never anything even close to that size. It did not feel real at all.#13
I rolled down the stairs as in actually rolled. Another thing that makes me question it is that a friend had rolled down the stairs too and remember he actually did roll down and get hurt, but I don't know if I actually did.#14
I went to the movie theater hen I was little with my dad and grandma and we watched toy story. Neither of them remember it, and the memories I have sort of feel like dreams, but at the same time it felt really real.Another time I sat up in bed in my dark room and it looked like there were long strands of those plastic parade beads hanging from the ceiling. Blue, green and purple ones.
Again, it felt really real. Could have been a dream, or my eyes playing tricks on me. Still don’t know.

When the first lockdown was enforced. We knew from international news that there was this new disease spreading fast, but in Mexico we kinda felt like I was so far away, that maybe we'd have some few cases but not as bad as the eastern part of the world.I went one day to school and was told that the school would close for 3 days, as a preventive measure. Needless to say, those three days elapsed and things got really south. Almost two years later, school is still closed.

In this story it was a dream I had. In the dream i went to a rock climbing competition. I’ve never actually participated in one but it seemed so real. Anyways, I chalk up, do my usual pre-climb routine, normal stuff. This specific event was bouldering, so I did not have my harness. I remember reaching the top, then falling. It felt real as I went down to the ground. I wake up from the dream in a hospital. Now I all think it was real, but turns out I just woke up from my operation and went back to sleep because it was 6 in the morning.from Bored Panda https://bit.ly/3mhyhME
