Missing time

[MorningGlow]

Anyone else feel like they're jumping ahead in time or experiencing missing time in any way? This doesn't usually happen to me (I'm not an alien abductee or anything), but recently it's happened twice.

A few weeks ago I was transcribing an interview tape--not my favorite part of being a writer, as it's quite boring and doesn't require much brain power. Because it's boring, I'm usually easily distracted and prefer to knock off as early as possible. I was supposed to leave the house at 4:00. I remember making tea at 3:00. The next thing I knew, it was 4:20. The reason I was supposed to leave at 4:00 was to pick up my son, so I usually would have ALWAYS had one eye on the clock. I was downright shocked when I saw the time.

Then, last week, I lost an entire day! I would have sworn on my life that it was Wednesday. But it was Thursday. I had to struggle to remember where my missing day went--but I was too frantic about getting the garbage to the curb in time for pickup that day (something I usually am well aware had to be done the night before) to sort it all out.

So--anyone else? Part of the shift, or am I losing my mind? (And no, Alzheimer's/senility does not run in my family--not even a little.)

1. Now I thought this had to do with becoming a Wise Woman

Everyone at the Foundation had these "time glitches" last week--I couldn't remember the day, and several hours always seem to slip by while working there. Of course we work on maintaining a positive energy, and some of the energy work done there gets everyone in an altered state.

2. Ooh, that's interesting

If a lot of people had a time glitch last week, that would explain at least one of my experiences.

And :rofl: I'm not old enough to become a Wise Woman yet! I'm only 42!

3. Yes, ..... and yes...

Not only missing time, but falling asleep at weird times!

I have just fallen asleep when just sitting on my bed in the afternoon. Lost a couple hours there easy... my bring has just checked out.

Yes, I do believe it is part of the shift. I think we are vibrating "out" of time and then "popping" back in. I am having that hapen while in the middle of a conversation, like I walk away after wards and thlink "where was I during that interaction, because it was like functioning on auto pilot" I am forgeting not ony the day, but things like my age and my personality identity. Like my soul is vibrating beyond this identity and then having to ground back to who I am and what I am doing...

no, I am not crazy...I am not senile...I am only 38!

These are strange times indeed MG! I guess all we can do is set little alarms to bring us back to this reality. Like when you hear a certain bird sound, or see a certain color, use these mental alarms to bring you back. That what my meditation teacher told me, I just have to remember to set the mental alarm clock at the begining of the day!

[MorningGlow]

8. That's what I was thinking, JG--that it's about our vibration

And come to think of it, I've also "checked out" during conversations! Now THAT is a freaky feeling--"How did I maintain that conversation? What in the world did I say? Hope it made sense!"
:rofl:

Thanks for the tip about mental alarms. I will have to try that. I hadn't been taking this too seriously (missing time) but when I lost a whole DAY, I sat up and took notice.
:hi:

4. Not exactly, but

I just..can't sleep.
Time is just kinda slowww for me. I'm getting between 1 to 3 hours at a time, per day. I'm tired but not exhausted.
Maybe my vibrations are keeping me up? Hmmm.
Keep us informed if this keeps happening to you. I am so curious!! Lol.

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

5. Same here.

I can't sleep until I am only able to get 3 hours of sleep and its wearing me down.

[MorningGlow]

9. That could very well be your vibration, yes

I find I'm having to sleep a little less (around six hours instead of seven or eight) but nothing dramatic. On the other hand, my crystal kid is sleeping a lot more, which is MAJOR for him. When our midnight wanderer sleeps all night, and doesn't pitter pattering down the hall to our bed till around 6 a.m. (instead of his usual 2 a.m.), something is UP. Of course, it could be another growth spurt coupled with the cooler weather. :shrug:

[lildreamer316]

11. OMG, yours too?

Mine is up ALL hours just playing. Poor husband thinks he isn't getting enough sleep. I told him that our little one just has a whole lot of energy..lol.

[MorningGlow]

12. Oh yeah. MG Jr. has NEVER slept all night

I really resent parents who boast, "Oh, my darling child goes to sleep at 7:00 and sleeps through to 8:00 a.m.--and I even have to wake her up--and that's with TWO naps during the day!" :grr:

When MG Jr. was a newborn, he slept only 20 minutes at a time--unless I let him fall asleep in bed next to me after he was done breastfeeding--so we thought he was always hungry or something. Later on we blamed teething. Then we blamed too much nappage (although he never did take very long naps). There was always a lame excuse, but the bottom line is kid. just. does. not. sleep. (Unless he's in our bed. Then he's zonked, at peace with the world, because he knows someone is there beside him.) Now that he's mobile, he tootles down the hall nearly every night. And I just move over and let him climb on in. YES we have given up!
:rofl:

When I went to Jr's kindergarten orientation night, one of the teachers said, "Make sure your child gets plenty of rest--put them to bed nice and early. And they WILL sleep--we wear them out!" Yeah right. Jr. still can't fall asleep before 9:00 no matter what, and even with his growth spurt helping him snooze right now, he's still up around 5:30, down the hall, and into our bed (where, I will admit, he does go back to sleep for about an hour and a half).

But that's nothing compared to a former coworker of mine. Her son was born about five months after MG Jr., and he never, EVER slept. When he was less than a year old, he'd fall asleep around 8:00 but wake up at midnight and play till 4:00! Then he'd go back to sleep for a while. I felt so bad for my coworker and her husband--they both worked full time, yet one of them always had to be sitting up on the couch while their kid played in the middle of the night. :scared:

I'm suspecting that this is part of the "new kids DNA", as is the need to sleep beside someone. These little boogers sure are challenging!

[lildreamer316]

15. The current version of a 'schedule':

Wakes up at about 6:30 AM. Stays up until about 4:30-5 PM. Sleeps until about 9. Back up until about 4 AM (when Daddy usually gets home; I thinkt that's why..).
No, I'm not tired at all. Lol.

[MorningGlow]

17. Oh OUCH!

Yeah, that's harsh! Make no mistake--naps are for mamas too!
:rofl:

[SheilaT]

23. Some kids sleep a lot.

Some kids don't. If your darling goes to sleep at 7 and sleeps through, it's NOT because the parents are so wonderful, but because that kid is programmed in her DNA to sleep like that.

My older son was a champion napper. I eventually figured out that his nights were a series of naps. Also, when he was about a year old someone came up to us and asked my husband if he'd gotten a decent night's sleep since the baby was worn, yuck, yuck. And all of a sudden I remembered that husband did not sleep through the night -- he was often up two or three times -- his parents who were then in their 70's did not sleep through the night. In fact it was a family joke that a traffic light was needed to regulate the midnight wanderings in the bedroom hallway of their home. I realized with that inheritance on once side of his genetic line, this one-year old not sleeping through the night was simply no big deal. (I could sleep 14 or 16 hours straight through, myself, too bad he didn't get that DNA) Around the time he was two and we realized that when he was coming in to us in the middle of the night he simply wanted company, we rigged up a timer attached to a lamp that he could turn on himself. We explained that when he woke up in the middle of the night he didn't need to bother us, he could just turn on his light and play as long as he wanted to. He never woke us up in the middle of the night again and we almost always found toys scattered around his room in the morning. I have no idea when he finally started sleeping through the night. He's 25 now, and I'm pretty sure he doesn't wake up as much. But I don't know and I don't worry about it.

19. Told ya so lol

MG,
Remember we had this conversation about him going to school, and his sleep habits will totally change. Guess what, they have!!! Told ya so. LOL. I really really have to talk to you. I have some weird stuff going on, and need your insight. You know how every October I see "things"? Well it's started early this year. Is this normal? Has the veil lifted early? This is driving me nuts!!!!!! Also life has gotten out of control once again. What gives?????

21. Hey babycakes

Yeahhhh I'll believe it when I see it--him sleeping all night for the rest of the school year, that is. He's had short spurts of decent sleep before, but they never...last...!
:rofl:

As for the October visits, you're not crazy--I've been getting them too lately--and you KNOW it's not a habit for me! Just the other day I was by the front door (cleaning up cat pee those $*!&^?~&!$! felines) and I saw a wisp of black smoke slip past me, out the bottom of the screen door. They're heeere....

[japple]

6. Yes, this has been happening to me, too. And I feel so spaced-out,

kind of like I'm here but I'm not. But I don't have a bit of trouble sleeping. I seem to be sleeping deeper and having lots of dreams which are, hopefully, releasing any negative things I'm trying to get rid of.

[Sanity Claws]

10. This is my experience too

I attributed my deeper sleep to the change of weather. The nights are considerably cooler now and the days are shorter.

[MorningGlow]

14. I went through a dream phase about a month or so ago

Things have quieted down for me recently...except for last night, when I dreamed that my husband decided to hire painters instead of me doing my usual thing (I usually do the painting). He decided he wanted them to paint the kitchen harvest gold and black!! And he was also going to pay them extra to repaint the living room sage green, a bit darker than what I painted it just last year, AND paint a giant beige stencil of a parrot on each wall!
:rofl:

[oceanspirit]

20. Oh my god, that is too funny!!

Sorry MG, I can't imagine your DH would ever HIRE a painter first of all, but then to have those colors, NO WAY!!! LOL I laughed my butt off when I read this. That is hysterical. Speaking of weird dreams, I'm having nightmare after nightmare lately. Some are not nightmares but weird weird weird.
A former co-worker of yours, You know the one, the head designer? Well I dreamt the other night that he was in my old office (down the hall in the suite in the closet I was in) got that part? Okay first of all the Golden Child would never be put in the closet, but it gets funnier. I went to ask him for help on a job, and I walked into his office, and there he was sitting at his desk with a bowl in his mouth. I said to him "I thought I smelled pot" Acted like it was an everyday thing, he was shocked and put down the bowl, and begged me not to tell anyone. I said, do you honestly think they can't smell it?????
What the heck is that MG?? Isn't that hysterical. Yea, can you imagine him doing that? NOT!! Then there have been some really bad nightmares that I can only remember for just amintue after I awake, then totally forget them other than the fact I'm upset! Damn I hate this.
Any thoughts?

22. You know my life!

You're right--the absurd part is Mr. MG hiring someone to do work on the house! That's far worse than the color schemes!

Speaking of totally weird, why in the heck are you dreaming about Mr. O? In YOUR office? Doing something even marginally hip?
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Ah, c'mon, you miss being in the suite, don't you? You're lonely in your new office. Admit it!
:rofl:

[oceanspirit]

28. Oh yea, you got it MG, I miss the idiots in the suite

God no. I'm all alone in my little world in the hallway. I LOVE it. I don't have to look at the scummy Mr. R. Oh god, how the stress level has gone down. I shut my door and I'm in my own little world.
Yea I have no idea why I would be dreaming of Mr. O. Weird huh? Weird dreams lately. Especially with Mr. O doing that!! Can you imagine.

I thought you'd get a kick out of it.

7. Not that this negates

your experience, but I have not had that kind of experience lately.

There are times when the time gets away from me because I'm absorbed in something, but that's a fairly mundane and common experience and not what you're getting at at all.

I have had experience with things materializing in odd ways, and once when a suitcase apparently arrived hours before it was actually checked in at the airport.

[MorningGlow]

13. Wow really?!

That's cool, Sheila! I haven't experienced materialization like that. I guess all the varying vibrations affect each of us differently! What else has happened with materialization?

[SheilaT]

24. Twice I have had things show up in my dryer.

First was a green towel. I still have it. That was about 15 years ago. About six or eight months ago a pair of khaki slacks showed up in the dryer that no one in the house admitted to owning. I gave that away to Goodwill.

Several years ago I couldn't find a particular earring. I knew it was in my room. It should have been on my bureau, but I couldn't find it and didn't worry too much about it. About six months later as I was walking down the stairs in my house, it materialized in front of me, hit my knee and landed on the steps. I think that whatever deity was responsible for taking it got bored because I wasn't freaking out because it was missing and decided to return it to me.

The suitcase. This goes back to about 1970 when I was working at National Airport in Washington, D.C. One day when the morning flight from Rochester arrived there was a suitcase unclaimed by anyone, so we took it from our baggage claim and stuck it behind the counter for safekeeping. Some five hours later when the afternoon flight arrived, after all the luggage had been claimed, a man came to our counter complaining his suitcase hadn't arrived. We asked, "Was it a large brown bag?" (or whatever color it was. I no longer remember all the details). He said yes, and continued to complain about our crappy airline and how we always lost his luggage. One of us asked, "Did you check your bag in early this morning and then leave the airport?" He said no, he had not, he'd arrived at the airport half an hour before flight time which was plenty of time for his suitcase to make the flight (true in those days) and how dare we inconvenience him by losing his luggage. We asked, "Are you Mr. So and So?" Yes, he was. At that point the other agent was dragging his suitcase out from our back room, the passenger pounced upon it, and although I made one more attempt to ascertain if he's simply brought it to the airport in the morning (which would explain how it made the morning flight) he shook me off, again stating he'd gotten to the airport at the correct time, and sped off, without any kind of thank you.

The obvious explanation is that he checked in early, the bag was put on the earlier flight, but let me tell you, back then no one would have been bothered to bring a suitcase to the airport, leave to conduct business, and then get back in time for his flight. He'd been adamant that he'd checked his luggage at an appropriate time before the afternoon flight.

There were other times when luggage would be completely unfindable on the system when it was supposed to be en route between two cities that had nothing but nonstop service between them, and at the end of about three days the missing bag would simply show up in the baggage claim area, as if it had been there but invisible all along. Or hiding out in some kind of time warp.

I refer to all of these things I have described as anomalies of time and space. I think they may happen more often than we realize, but the events are sufficiently trivial, or covered up by other mundane aspects of life, that they often go unnoticed.

[MorningGlow]

25. OMG, Sheila, do you realize what this means?

This not only explains lost luggage (where does it go? how does it get back?) but also SOCKS THAT GO MISSING FROM THE DRYER!
:rofl:

Seriously, those are great stories. Did you freak out when the earring bopped you on the knee? I would have.

And you reminded me that I DID have something like that happen to me once. I owned a Chevy Nova subcompact for several years. I note that it was a subcompact to point out that after owning it for a couple of years, there wasn't one inch of space in that car that I wasn't well acquainted with.

One summer night some friends and I decided to go stargazing. I drove; our science teacher friend put his giant telescope in my trunk, which was clean as a whistle, and he appreciated that. We got to the field, and he realized he had forgotten the eyepiece lens, so we couldn't use the telescope after all. He put it back in the trunk, and we did some old-fashioned stargazing--on our backs, hands behind our heads--which was even more fun.

Later I dropped everyone off at their houses; the science teacher pulled his telescope out of the trunk and went into his house. I glimpsed something in the trunk. I thought it was part of his telescope, so I looked closer and found...part of the shaft of an arrow.

I have NO IDEA where it came from. Like I said, there had been NOTHING in my trunk. The science teacher was not an archer, and besides, he only had the telescope. He'd never have had an arrow, or even part of one, anywhere near his expensive equipment. I think I even asked him about it the next day and he had no idea what I was talking about.

I still have it. I keep it on my "air" altar in the east.

26. We all think that socks are sucked into a black hole

in the bottom of our dryers. However, have you noticed that hangers mysteriously multiply in your closet? And you never find baby hangers, nor do you ever catch hangers in the act of . . . well, reproducing. The reason? Socks are the larval form of hangers.

27. ROFL!

[BlueIris]

16. Yes. Last time this happened was in June of '06, right before I embraced my Path

for the first time. A very wise member of this forum explained to me that the time-distortion experience was connected with spiritual initiation. When this started happened again last month, I figured it was just a preview of my next jump up the ladder.

One new development (don't remember it happening in 2006) is dreams in which I have either lost time (last dream involved me "going away," losing time, and "coming back" in the fall of 2012) or feel as if I've lost time.

My dreams overall have been extremely weird lately, in a good way. Lots of so-called "healing dreams" in which I am conquering fears I have had all my life (doing math, leading movements).

[MorningGlow]

18. That makes sense

Thanks, BI. Yes, I do feel like I'm taking jumps up the ladder all the time, small and large, and they manifest in different ways. These are my first time jumps, so it feels pretty strange!
