Time Or Dimensional Slips

I realized that "zonning out" and time slips can be quite similar if not the same.

I recall a very early age, I was at most three years of age. I was sitting at the table with my grandma, my aunt just came over and they were talking. My grandma asked if I wanted muffins and I excitedly said yes. I recall looking out onto the balcony and seeing a beautiful sunny day. I just continued sitting at the table, I was busying myself with bandaids (heh, kids have fun with the craziest things!) i took them out of there little packaging and I started making things out of them on the table. There was this one piece that I wasnt satisfied with so I kept ripping it off and putting it on, ripping it off and putting it on, ripping it off....you get the idea...now what happens is bizarre. The next thing I feel is like waking up, not in the sense that I was asleep -- I couldn't have been -- but like I came back to consciousness. I realized the the sunny day now turned to night! Even more bizarre was that my grandma and aunt were still talking, even at that age I was perplexed by what happened but not know what to say or think of it I asked where are the muffins. My grandma said they're cold but she'll bring them out anyway...

I might have thought of this as a time slip but really its just zonning out because as I grew older I was able to induce this. When I was around five or six I challenged myself to zone out. I was on my bed, I began to focus on this teddy bear I had...the next thing I now I come to consciousness hours later.

Could all these time slips be just zonning out?

Most of them, I suspect. My husband had a like experience while driving through San Francisco: he started out in Oakland, crossed the Bay Bridge, and remembers nothing else until exiting the the Golden Gate Bridge into Sausalito!

Some people might propose that a "missing time" episode involves alien abuduction or displacement in time, but he and I are both pretty sure he zoned out.

:heh:
 
I thought timeslip referred to time being missing or extra time, ie.performing an everyday task and it taking far in excess of the normal amount of time like driving a set route knowing it should take 20 minutes remembering the whole drive and finding that it has only taken 10 minutes or taken longer in the order of 50 minutes say.
I would say that what happened to Elisheva's husband is zoning, we all do it to some extent especially or much repeated tasks (like driving), I know Elisheva hasn't proposed that her husband did experience a timeslip.
 
I wonder if the experience described by the original poster couldn't be some form of remote viewing.

It doesn't seem to be so much a loss or gain of time as the viewing or experiencing of a specific place.
 
I'm referring to the original posters story here.

I wonder if the people's house he was in were from the past, and if you beleive in multidimensions this could be their perception: They saw you appear at the table much similar to how someone would see a ghost, then you suddenly vanished. Now they'll always beleive there had been a ghost in their house at that time. Could of been the image (ghost) of their passed away grandfather (which was you, but you didnt realize thats how you appeared to them).

On another track and in addition to the above, what if ghosts are simply the peoples spirits who have passed away and reincarnated already. Perhaps in your sleep you dont realize it, but you visit places you used to live; and appear in a ghostly form to those still present?
 
Cor! That's strange.

But yeah, must be from a film. Must be a movie dealing in time slips or something though, otherwise it's pretty poor editing. :eek:
 
That's very creepy, but there's probably more room to the right than that camera shows. danny_cogdon got it, no doubt.
 
So wanted it to be a time slip..... :(

After a bit of a scour I came across thison You Tube:

The 3,150 m long Lefortovo Tunnel in Russia is the longest 'in-city' tunnel in all of Europe. There is a river running over it and water leaks at some points. When the temperature reaches minus 38 degrees like it did last winter, the road freezes and the result is the attached video taken during a single day with the tunnel camera. Congratulations to the driver of the dual bus!!

At the 56 secs mark, the footage from above appears.
 
You can see on that one truck does come up on the inside of the other. It's better resolution too, and if Iwas suspicious I'd say the first one's been tweaked a bit to hide where the second truck comes from...

I wonder how many people considered 'missing' every year just go into the past-or the future-and are never heard from us again?

I have often thought that myself, lets say you slipped into he future, you would be locked up in an asylum if you claimed to be from the past!

There is a story about a U boat man in America but for the life of me I can not remember it
 
I am from Runcorn but was born in Liverpool where some of my family still live. I met my mum and my auntie (they are twins if that has any relevance whatsoever) in Liverpool town centre to have look around. Now I am not completely familiar with Liverpool street names but I think it was the bit where a road and some traffic lights disect the main shopping street next to the LLoyds TSB bank and you walk up a bit and you have the underground station on your left. I think there is a waterstones there also.

Well I had gone for a look round on my own and had headed up in that direction to meet them when I saw a group of people dressed in Edwardian clothes and hats. They looked like and had the body mannerisms of modern people though rather than the mannersims and gait and movements of edwardian people in films set in Edwardian times (though I know these are only films and in real life they probably moved and had the mannersims we do now). I just assumed they were people working for one of the local stores because I now live in Windsor and in the cobbled streets by Windsor Castle they have people dressed up in edwardian Costume to entertain the tourists and lure them into some of the tourist shops there. I also noticed they seemed to look at me briefly with slight contempt as though there was something wrong with me and then after that they forgot about me. I must add to that last comment that although I am quite paranoid anyway I do look normal, honestly :) I think, so their reaction puzzled me.

Anyway, I walked into a shop and met my mum and auntie and asked them if there was some store nearby which employed people who wore Edwardian costumes...some sort of shop like Past Times or something. i also asked if they had seen them. They said they hadnt seen anybody like that standing about and nor were they aware of any shop which employed people to dress like that.

After that I kind of thought no more about it until recently and I came across some Tom Slemen (liverpool ghost author) stories of edwardian time slips in that very area and then gradually the memory of what I have just wrotten about dawned on me.

I am not going to say i experienced a 'time slip' because it probably was just modern people dressed but still i got a bit spooked. But if it was a time slip that might have explained why they looked at me as if I was some sort of joker :)
 
It sound like Bold Street, there's been a few stories now about time slips in that area. Jenny Randles mentions one in couple of her books, and I've seen Tom Sleman's version, but like a lot of his stuff it seems a tad over elaborated..
 
as an aside,

i also feel the need to add that what stood out to me was how good looking they all were and how seemibly relaxed and happy and chilled out they appeared to be.

I also have no memory of noticing anybody else around them and whether other people were dressed normally or not.
 
yes,

likewise

i do think that TS has a tendency to 'over exagerate' :)
 
Sorry to post on an old thread.
I have occasionally if my uncle experienced a kind of 'time-slip'.

He lives in the house his parents owned, (I lived there too, when younger). At the time his mother, (my Nan) was alive, although his father had been dead about ten or twelve years at this time.

He was studying pretty intensively for a degree, which I only mention to show that his mind was in a state of concentration (it was Pure Maths, so not the kind of subject matter which would set the mind on an imaginative flight, or it would not set mine on that path).

There was, he said, no-one in the house, no t.v. or radio on, as he liked it to study when there were no distractions.
The house is detached and fronts a small 'b' road (it's a very rural area) so very little noise filters in save the wind in the trees and the odd bit of traffic.

Anyhow, he had been studying for some time, when he heard, very clearly, his father talking from the next room, and my uncle, half-listening, didn't think there was anything odd in it. He said he just registered that it was his father talking as if in conversation with some-one. (And not to him). He couldn't hear any-one else. Then, as he realized that this couldn't be happening, his father's voice faded.

He was not, apparently, afraid, although he didn't term it as such, now I would call his reaction a WTF?

There's no history of the house being haunted; it's always had a very peaceful atmosphere, so this is why I posted this account on here, rather than under a 'ghost' thread. It seems as if somehow my uncle was hearing the 'past', rather than a ghostly voice, or the house itself was playing back something it 'recorded'.

I have heard of audible time-slips, the bombing of Dieppe (I think), among others. This is much less spectacular, but along the same lines, maybe.

Most likely it's memory. Perhaps an sound outside the house triggered it.
 
What I find interesting is that there are two stories on this thread that involve Liverpool!
Well, if I ever find myself time-slipping back to Liverpool in 1962, I ain't ever coming back!
See ya!
 
I have had a couple of time-slip style experiences that I cannot fully explain. One of them occurred in the summer of 1996.

A relative of mine was in the St Helier hospital in Carshalton, Surrey for several weeks. I used to drive down from South London every other day so got to know the route pretty well. One afternoon, travelling along the Croydon Road I got the urge to turn right into Plough Lane.

https://www.google.com/maps/views/explo ... 21858&z=16

I am not the adventurous type and straight away thought; "What made me do that?" I decided to drive a little way up the road and turn round. About 50 to 60 yards in there was a turning to the right with a wedge shaped pub on the corner, as I passed it I could smell beer and noticed that it looked really old fashioned. The door was slightly open and the lights were on.

I carried on up the road for several minutes and became aware that it was unusually quiet, there were no pedestrians and I realized that I hadn't seen any other cars, either. I felt slightly uneasy so pulled over, reversed into a driveway and drove back the way I came. As soon as I did that the odd feeling began to lift but when I got to the junction with the pub on it, the building was derelict, there were no lights and it had clearly been closed for ages, yet twenty minutes earlier it had been open for business!

I have included a street view link, the pub was where the back gates/beer garden of the pub on the Croydon Road is now.
 
Somewhere I have the book "Haunted Mitcham"...I must dig it out and see if it's happened before Rosebuds.I know exactly where you are and traveled down Plough Lane a lot, no time slip though.
 
Curiously, there is another pub nearby which is supposed to be haunted!

The detail of the smell of beer is interesting, as it would not usually penetrate a vehicle. The boring old explanation of such events is that the senses provide only a small amount of data which is fleshed out by memory.

I prefer to think they are real. I cannot claim to have experienced one, though I have sometimes acted on impulse to explore unfamiliar lanes or streets. Finding a little community with its own shops, church, pub and park can seem uncanny and akin to a time-slip, even if it is real! :)
 
As I read the thread early this morning I was playing a 1970s TV drama on Youtube, about a Victorian woman who is 'haunted' by a distant relation from the future! :shock:
 
Thanks Moooksta, it would be amazing if it had happened before.

JW, I should have said, it was a hot day and I had the driver's window open, I quite like the smell of beer (for medicinal purposes, you understand) and it seemed real. The beer garden/back gate of The Plough is the actual location of this phantom pub, I wonder if it was located there originally?

I have had a couple more of these sort of incidents but this was the one I found most odd.

Escargot, what was the programme called? Some of those old 1970's dramas were great.
 
I'm sure I've mentioned this on the board before (though no idea where) and I'm not sure it qualifies - though it's probably been as close to a "dimensional slip" that I've come.

Some years ago, my son (who was young, maybe 5?) and I were driving our regular route, probably to and from school. Suddenly, for no reason I could discern, I began to have the strangest feeling that I wasn't in my own town, but the town where my grandmother lived, some hundred miles away. The towns did not look much alike and I'd never had this happen before, so as I was driving, I was trying to figure out what was causing this feeling. Some trick of the light? Some consciously undetectable scent? I didn't know, but then my son pipes up from the back seat "this looks like grandma's town." Every time we saw an elderly lady in one of the gardens we passed he began to ask "is that grandma? Is that grandma's house?" with real curiousity and puzzlement, as if he'd really lost track of where we were.

The sense of having wandered into a totally different place was almost dizzying, even though I knew very well where we were. The route between school and home was only a few miles. But I wouldn't have been surprised to find myself in this other town - indeed, that would have felt more natural than what I was feeling at that moment.

This feeling lasted about 30 minutes, then disappeared as abruptly as it had come - my son remarked on this too, just at the moment it passed.
I guess it would only qualify as a dimensional slip if we really turned up in this other town without knowing how we'd got there, but it really was very strange, especially since my son experienced it at the same time - so it wasn't just the product of my own addled brain.

Never figured out what caused it, either. I'll ask my son later and see if he remembers any of this.
 
That is a really interesting post, Bunnymousekitt. I would say it does qualify.

It makes me wonder if there are sub-types of dimension slips which overlap with other phenomena, i.e, there are the classic interactive 'Trans-dimensional gas station' experiences (timeslip), the 'Stone Tape' "I was driving along behind a 1950's Cadillac, then it vanished" (ghost), the 'overlaying', which you describe above (glitch in the matrix) etc.

Can anyone think of any more?
 
Rosebuds, I just read your account in your earlier post. Fantastic!
That's an excellent example of what I think is a time or dimensional slip.
I think this happens to most of us, and most either don't notice or just shrug it off.

Perhaps our brains have a mechanism for screening out this weirdness, or it can smooth over the 'cracks'. When we notice it, it's because the weirdness is such that our normal coping mechanism isn't enough.
