Humor Weirdest experiences?

The things I dream are usually very very bad things.
 
It strikes me that most things listed as "weird" in here fall neatly into this category. Wait a long time, and low probability events are bound to happen. Remember folks, mystery is a property of (some) explanations, not a property of reality.

That's nice, but do you really have to bash your preferences over other people's heads?

In normal usage, "weird" or "unusual" refer to phenomena that are uncommon or unexpected, there's no reason to beat around the bush with some kind of Spock Speak.
 
once i had a dream that a plane crashed into my house, that was the morning of 9/11 (before it happened)
 
When I was about 5 I went to Chuck E. Cheese (this indoor amusement park place with small rides, arcade games, and those tunnel/tube/slide things that kids play on). There was this one ride that was a helicopter type thing made out of everyday things and had bike pedals.
Use this for a visual.

I got it to the very top on the ride and a crowd of kids formed around me. This one friend of mine, who has always been the tallest kid in the grade pushed his way through the crowd, grabbed onto one of the skis and started trying to push everyone back. Then a person who worked at Chuck E. Cheese pushed his way through the crowd and said "Hey, one at a time! One of you has to get off, you can't do that!"

Here's some more Chuck E. Cheese madness.
 
I got a few, but the one i can recall the easiest was when I was about 8 or 9 years old.

I was inside of my bedroom playing with a set of wooden trains I had. My grandmother, mother, and father were the only other people in the house, and they were outside at the time. As I'm playing, I idly look up at my door, for no reason other than to look. Suddenly, at that moment, the knob turned (it's one of those longer knobs that fits in a fist) all the way to its lowest position, and the door swung open until it nearly hit the wall. The knob was still down in it's lowest position. No one was in the doorway.

After a second or two of staring, the door swung completely closed again (which required some force, since the door had a stopper) and then the handle returned to its normal position. For some reason, I kept completely level and went on playing. That experience still is a lingering question in my mind.

EDIT: Spacethingy, I know the feeling, it's happen to me before as well.
 
I've had these totally absurd hallucinations before:

1.) A pinapple faded into my sight, vigorously vibrated and faded out again
2.) I was sleeping on the floor and a tiny man skiied down my shoe and did a flip at the end
3.) I was sleeping on the floor again, and a pillow moved left and right, with the object on top not moving. I realized I was hallucinating and it snapped back into place
4.) When I was 10, I saw my door open and close with bats flying out of it, all while an ominus voice said it was past my bedtime. The minutes on the clock were progressing like seconds. Seems like a classic ghost story, but it's just proof most are hallucinations or un-explained mental tricks

In the heat of the moment, your brain confuses a current experience with a past memory or dream - which you're conveniently unable to place precisely.

Huh, I came to that conclusion months ago. It's cool to see that some of my wandering thoughts could be right.
 
i think my weirdest experience was when i dreamed of being onboard a ship, hearing this weird noise, but it was LOUD. i was wandering around, making my way up the ship, upon reaching topside (it was an aircraft carrier) this fireball slams into the ship knocking me over the side and into the water and when i hit the water, i woke up in a cold sweat...

I know everyone has those dreams of falling and when they wake up it feels like they just fell into their bed. When I was a freshman in college I started having these dreams constantly. What makes things weird is they were also painful. I kept waking up feeling like I had just fallen four feet onto my cheep dorm bed and banged my back against one of the support bars. So one night it happens again and when I open my eyes my room mate is glaring at me from his bed. He told me I had just made a loud noise which sounded like I had just jumping onto my bed, even though I had just woken up. I never figured out what was going on. I thought maybe I was standing up in my sleep and falling backwards, in which case it is a lucky I didn't wang my head against the headboard and die. My hindu-convert-hippie friend told me that this, and my constant audio hallucinations involving insect like noise were all a result of a meditation technique I used to use to help me concentrate on schoolwork, and that I was having some sort of spiritual awakening and hovering in my sleep, humbug!

Also, regarding that same room mate. One night I awoke to some loud talking outside that dorm room, which was very common. I went to go tell whoever it was to shut-up and when I opened the door my room mate was standing there and his hands were on fire, and I mean completely engulfed in large flames, and he is frantically screaming and trying to pat them out on his jacket. Turns out he was trying to refill his lighter, got naphtha all over his hands, and when he went to test the lighter he combusted. He had to go to the hospital. His hands ended up swelling up and hurting him for a while, but luckily there was no skin loss.
 
I had dream one night where I was fighting some sort of monster-like creature. Not that unusual for me, I get those every once in a while, the creature isn't usually the same or anything, mostly like stuff from whatever tv shows I had been watching at the time. Anyway, this time, the monster slashes my face with its claws while I'm fighting in close. Eventually I defeat the thing. The strange part is when I wake up, I have 3 bleeding claw-like slash lines running down my face in the exact same place I got slahed in my dream.
 
I once dreamed about remembering having heard that a certain coworker of my Dad's had died in a car accident. For at least several months (if not a year or more) I couldn't figure out if the memory in the dream had been a memory of something that really happened working its way into the dream or a total fabrication from within the dream. Eventually I did see the person alive, but in the meantime I was rather confused.

Why didn't you simply ask your dad?
 
:hmm: let's see...
My GF and I met in our first day of History of the World to 1500. We had never met before, had never even seen each other before. Yet we both looked at each other, and said, in synch, "Where have I met you before?" :lol:
But wait, it gets even weirder.
We both are the same church denomination, both do tech support for those churches, and had one of those classic "instant connection" relationships.
:shifty: It's kinda spooky.

I was living away from home at the time, and while I was coming home fairly often, I don't think I ever thought of it while he was available to talk to. And while it was confusing, it wasn't bugging me that much, 'cause I didn't know the person very well at the time.
 
I got scared by my scanner, blew myself backwards and knocked over the bookcase.
 
My best friend once set me up on an unexpected date with who became my current girlfriend. He then spent the next year constantly hitting on her. :WTF:

Nah. Many years ago, it would be weird if a certain light pole did not turn off when I passed under it...

There is a light pole near my dad's house that does this. I don't understand it, but I've never been really spooked by it.

Something strange for me is that I don't have some of the common experiences. For example, I don't think I have ever had the "falling dream".

Random oddness: At the apartment we used to live in, my bedroom door would close on its own (air pressure + gravity?). When we moved to our current house, I once again have the only bedroom that closes its own door. :lol: Kind of convenient, but freaky the first few times.

I have odd experiences / bad luck with electronics. They like to stop working when I'm around. I used to not be able to watch TV downstairs with my family without the TV freezing up every time. And for most months of the past year, my bedroom TV wouldn't work for more than a couple minutes at a time.

My mom has some weird electrical properties. She gets shocked from static easily; she has even been shocked by a wooden door. At grocery stores, I would unintentionally shock her really badly, though I wouldn't necessarily feel it. And when we had a toy from McDonalds, one that lights up when you touch two small pads, it would always be much dimmer for her.

December 23, 2003. I dreamed that I was running from someone who was shooting at me with a rifle. I could feel the bullets hitting me, but they did not penetrate, they just bounced off. I awoke about three in the morning to my mom telling me she was having terrible chest pain. I considered calling 911, but I feared that if it was a heart attack, she would be dead by the time the ambulance arrived (silly, I know:facepalm:). We drove to the ER and found out that she was indeed having a heart attack. She had bypass surgery and spent a week in the hospital. Needless to say I was scared to death: it was a rough ride, but we both came through it okay, and today she is just fine:)
