Time Slip

Ok, bear with me on this one. I'm not making any wild claims and am perfectly willing to accept that there may be a "rational" explanation to this. I just want to know if anyone has come across elements of what I'm about to describe themselves.

Many years ago, when I was just a dumb kid, I used to experiment with mind-altering substances. Don't anymore - I have responsibilities. OK, so one night in my room, whilst "experimenting" I just found myself in my kitchen in broad daylight. I freaked - not because of the event so much because I thought that my sudden appearance in the kitchen is going to give the game away with my Mom. Stupid, I know. I didn't think anymore about it - I put it down to the obvious effects of what I was doing.

However, about a week later, I'm sitting in the kitchen listening to Deep Purple ("Child in Time", ironically), when it seemed that my mind had somehow entered the cassette player and touched the magnetic loud-speaker. Reeling from the shock, I stumbled to the sink and found myself "connected" to that time a week earlier in my room - it was the "same" time.

As I say, it is probably just chemistry and neurons at work, but I'd be interested to know if anyone has experienced anything similar.
 
I haven't experimented with drugs so I can't comment on that but, about your experience, when you went from your room at night to the kitchen at day did you stay in the day or did it just flash for a moment, night, day, night. And I didn't understand the "mind had somehow entered the cassette player" part.

Thye mind in certain people, can be projected.

This ability is not a toy, however an ability that some are born with.

Use this ability wisely.
 
Sorry, I didn't make myself clear on that. I found myself in the kitchen for just a few seconds (no more than 5) and then found myself back in my room at night, wondering what the hell just happened.

As for the "mind entering the cassette"; I was drawn (more literally than usual) into the music. Then something happened, the experience became something more than just "really enjoying the music". I had a visual flash of the loud speaker inside the machine, felt some kind of "shock" (though NOT electric) as if my mind (or soul?) had touched the components - the foucus seemed to be on the magnetic part of the speaker.

When at the kitchen sink, I immediately recognised it as being that time a week ago when I was in my room.

Ok, so I sound like a Narc who shouldn't be surprised that this kind of stuff happened. Who knows, maybe what happened was my mind "creating" the experience of a week ago after the later experience in the kitchen. I make no grandiose claims. It wasn't my only really weird experience, but it is the one most easy to describe and the one least likely to damage the credibility of my testimony. If there's anyone out there with a "match" on this experience, I might explore the more way-out with the outside world.
 
this is actually one of the more interesting things i have read in this section of the forum....

Just because drugs are involved, it doesnt make it worthless. The drugs may have induced something that you can naturally do.

I don't know. I find the fact you said a tape was playing and you found yourself 'inside it' interesting.

The frequency of what you are listening to may have had an effect on stimulating what happend. Perhaps the frquency of what you were taking (drug wise) at a specific point in time linked with the 'Sound' frequency coming from the tape at another point in time. This caused a shift in concious awareness.

who knows. but interesting non the less. I also wouldn't suggest experimenting with drugs in regard to time travel either.

Kind regards,

That's an important point about not using drugs in an attempt to somehow duplicate this. I feel very fortunate to have survived my youth and it is important to stress that the "more probable" explanations are just that. What happened to me was completely involuntary and a (big) surprise. The only cosmic experience that anyone is likely to get from trying the same thing is death, which as I say, is something I feel extremely lucky to have avoided.

However, my aim in raising this was to see if anyone had experienced anything similar. I have suspected for some time that documented premonitions such as that seen with the Abervan disaster may be a similar thing; in that experiences giving rise to an extreme state of mind could have a "rippling" effect through time. But this theory should dictate that 9/11 would have given rise to a massive influx of such cases, and I have to say that I have seen very little evidence of that.

Thanks for your time is listening to my story. I shall now go back to the quantifiable world but keep a close eye on the weird!
 
I re-read what you said Gray and this does make sense.

The magnetic head in the tap recorder acted as a time transfer device, however your mentality was the software hardware that got you there.

I have heard reports such as this before.

It seems that In England there is allot more drug use than in the U.S. that is legal.

When in other countries and I don't care if there is a dump-truck full of drugs parked infront of this person's house, as a guest your supposed to ignore this, be polite and gracious.
 
Hi creedo299,
thanks for your input.
I'm not sure I understood your last sentence, though. I hope I didn't come over as impolite, though I'm guessing I'm just mis-reading what you're said /ttiforum/images/graemlins/confused.gif

I have only had this happen to me once during lucid dreaming, I found myself able to enter the dream of another person, I was an observer I did not wish to affect their dream. When I met the person the next day I asked how their sleep was, they said they had a pleasant dream, but were wondering why they kept seeing me sitting in a chair watching them all the time.
I haven't done this since, but I do lucid dream alot, I change the dream if it is going in a direction I do not like.
I wonder if your actions were those of an out of body experience? If so, try again and try to take control of the situation maybe remembering people or items something that you shouldn't know maybe?
Another option is that you may well be time travelling within the thoughts stored within the neural pathways of your brain, all that we do, say, experience is stored however haphazard within pathways in our brain, when you remember something you are accessing that particular pathway, you may even remember so vividly that smells associated with that memory appear to your sense of smell, an amazing thing to behold I would say, and one worthy of more study.
 
What kind of drugs were you taking? I've read stories of people taking very high doses of DXM and experience similiar things as you did.
 
Hi RPA,
thanks for your input. I'm sure you'll understand when I say that I'll definitely not be divulging what substance was involved. This is to protect the small number of young people who will inevitably feel compelled to try the same thing.

But thanks again, you information has been useful.

In one of my previous posts (I'm afraid you'll have to poke about for it- memory's going in middle age), I posited a theory about music being roadmarks in spacetime, linked in with memory and emotion. And since modern quantum theory allows the possibility of the mind having as great a link to the nature of reality as any device we could hope to build, I feel that your experience is not as unusual as it may seem.
