What if reality isn’t what it seems? Every day, people all around the world stumble into moments that make them question everything, they consider them to be glitches in time, uncanny coincidences, or patterns that feel too precise to be random.
Some feel like déjà vu, casual code repetition or they’re encounters that defy logic, these experiences fuel a growing belief that life might not be entirely real. Could we be living inside a carefully rendered simulation? One that occasionally falters, exposing itself time and time again?
These are some strange alignments, eerie coincidences, or just stories that push us to rethink what’s true, what’s programmed, and what’s just beyond our comprehension. And who knows, maybe the simulation theory feels a little too possible.

"I had two vivid astral projections where I woke up in what looked like a lab. A woman was yelling, “They’re waking up!” before tubes were attached to my hands, and I was slammed back onto a table. In another vision, a man connected me to a machine that s

"One winter morning, I drove to work under cloudy skies but no rain. Out of nowhere, a single, giant raindrop splattered on my windshield. Forty-five minutes, and not another drop. Two days later, same cloudy weather, same spot on the highway, same single

“To anything without eyes, the world doesn’t even exist, it’s not black or empty, just nothing. Our own immune system can destroy our eyes, effectively “deleting” our ability to perceive reality. It feels like a built-in kill switch for a program: once th

“When I was about five, I was playing with hand shadows on my bedroom wall. I dropped my hands, and the shadows kept moving. They danced for a few seconds on their own, while I sat frozen, trying to understand what I was seeing.”

“Every time I’m close to breaking out of my financial struggles, something inexplicably goes wrong, missed opportunities, bizarre setbacks, freak coincidences. It’s like some invisible system is determined to keep me on a fixed track.”

“I sometimes think randomly of people I haven’t seen in over a decade, old classmates, coworkers, acquaintances. Within a day, I’ll see them in person, out of nowhere. Last year alone, it happened three times. Almost like the simulation queues them up whe

“While golfing, I couldn’t decide between Brisk Iced Tea or Hawaiian Punch. I told my sister, “I’ll let God decide,” and pressed both buttons at once. The machine clanked, and out came a can of Brisk Fruit Punch.”

“In grade 12, my mom and I drove to the city to shop for prom dresses. We used her phone for GPS, and she took photos of me in different dresses. Afterward, she couldn’t find her phone anywhere, not in the store, not in the car. We drove home without it.

“It happened on an ordinary day at a café. I was sipping tea, scrolling through my phone, when I noticed the man at the next table typing an email. Nothing unusual, until I realized he was typing the exact words I was thinking. Not similar ideas, not para

“Driving home from the gym one night, I was listening to an audiobook while struggling with blurry vision from new contacts. Suddenly, the narrator said, “My vision was blurry.” My heart froze. Then, “I looked right.” I turned my head, and the same words

“I was telling a friend how I’d never seen a Tesla Cybertruck in real life. The very next day, as I got off the highway, a semi-truck full of Cybertrucks drove past me. Not one, not two, an entire fleet.”

"I often notice the same word or concept repeating simultaneously across random sources. I’ll read “wait” in a book, and at that exact moment, I’ll hear “wait” in a video. It’s like reality is reusing data to save processing power."

“During a deep dissociative state, I found myself in a control room filled with rainbow-colored humanoid stick figures. They stood over horizontal consoles, flat glowing tables, jumping into them to appear in our reality and make “adjustments.” The entire

"When I close my eyes and face a strobe light, I can see a perfect grid of alternating colors, like a pixelated pattern. Sometimes it appears yellow and blue, especially when moving quickly or transitioning from dark to light. It feels like glimpsing the

“I once walked into a shop where time just stopped. Two employees and a customer were frozen mid-motion for about five seconds. No sound, no air movement, just silence. Then, suddenly, everything resumed exactly where it left off, as if someone had unpaus
