So last Thursday I woke up sweating after the weirdest dream – I was flipping burgers on the moon while arguing with my cat about car insurance. It got me digging into this whole dream/parallel universe rabbit hole everyone’s buzzing about. Let me just dump how my experiment went down, bumps and all.
How I Started
Grabbed my old notebook – the one covered in coffee stains – and started scribbling every detail before it vanished. Felt ridiculous describing moon grease splatters and my cat’s tiny suit. Google spat out a zillion theories, some saying dreams leak from “alternate mes” living different lives. Wild. Bought this $10 quartz from eBay (total scam, felt like plastic) cause some forum claimed it “opens reality channels.” Spoiler: it didn’t.
The Messy Middle Part
Tried that reality shifting trend last weekend. Followed a TikTok guide – lay flat, count backward, imagine stepping through a door. Felt nothing but leg cramps. Tried again at 3AM listening to “theta waves” on YouTube. Woke up to my roommate banging on the door cause I sleep-talked about moon taxes.
Here’s where things got weird:
- Kept a dream journal for 5 days straight
- Ate cheese before bed (someone said it triggers vivid dreams – just gave me heartburn)
- Watched alternate reality docs till 2AM
Thursday night’s dream changed everything. Saw “other me” teaching llamas to ski. Woke up with this gut feeling – like déjà vu but stronger. Checked my journal: 4 days ago I’d written “what if I ran a llama ski school?” Goosebumps.
What Actually Worked (Sort Of)
Not the crystals or forced shifting. Just paying damn attention. My theory? Dreams mash up our hidden thoughts with random brain junk. But sometimes… that “random” junk lines up creepy-good with stuff we barely notice when awake. Parallel universe? More like our brains glitching through TV channels while we sleep.
Still journaling dreams. Last night? I was a sentient meatball. Zero cosmic meaning – just proving my brain’s a chaotic dumpster fire chasing lost pizza coupons. But hey, at least I got a story out of it.
