Like you get transported into an alternate universe where everything is almost same, but with tiny differences. The world looks normal to everyone and you’re the only one that have memories of the differences.
Do you think you would trust your memories or would you think you lost your mind?
Lost my mind
I would never stop until i figured out what happened.
Probably go crazy
I already don’t trust my memories.
I have the rule of never worrying about things I cannot change. So I would just move on with my life and trust that the person I was and will be is making the best decisions possible given the information and constraints of the time. YOLO
Assuming there’s nothing wrong with you, there must be something wrong with the universe
I need to watch the 4400 again
Reminds me of the The Lamp Story from ptooey Reddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/oc7rc/comment/c3g4ot3/?context=3
This is the movie Yesterday, where a failed musician gets knocked out and wakes up in a world where the Beatles never existed. A few other things too, but mainly the Beatles. Spoiler: he becomes a mega star.
In modern America this is not a hypothetical situation.
I can’t imagine you could hallucinate a person in such detail and over such a long period of time that there would never be any indication they weren’t imaginary. I would trust my memories and question the circumstances of their disappearance.
You brain makes up the details in exactly the amount you need to. That is a core problem when your brain itself is the issue.
Well ive had the dream where I had a wife (different person to who im with) kids, a job, full life kinda stuff for like the last 10 years and was really happy. Woke up and it all faded away. Made me sad but carried on with my day. So yeah i guess I’d probably just move on. Also just to clarify my life now is pretty good, so not like I lost anything really.
This reminds me of one of my favorite episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation, "Remember Me
They go over this in Doctor Who. There’s this special light that, when it touches you, it erases you from all time. Everyone forgets you exist (well, supposedly. There’s an exception). Good sequence.
Depends. Friend or Pseudofriend or Pseudoenemy from School: I wouldn’t notice, except that some subtle records like contacts and photos of them would be gone, but I rarely actually look at those. Person from University: I would think to ask in about 7 months, then be confused no one knows him. Oscar Wilde: I would try rereading The Importance of Being Ernest at some point, the cover not being a very notable feature of my bookshelf, so I wouldn’t notice earlier. The guy from TheClick: I watch his content about once every 2 months. Dean Herbert: Let’s hope the writers retcon in some other guy who makes a circle clicking video game.
