I had the strangest experience today that once again causes me to ponder psychic phenomenon or possible severe mental issues. Before I launch into today, let me begin by going back a couple of days. While sleeping Tuesday night, I had this face flash into my mind, causing me to wake up with a jolt. The face was very clear in my mind, but it didn’t belong to anyone I knew. The key features were that he was looking at me, smiling (big smile like maybe he was laughing) with dark eyes and dark hair. I thought it was odd that this would wake me up but maybe that was because the face was so immediately in my head, out of the blue, not part of another dream. After several minutes of pondering whether I could have seen this man at work or on TV or somewhere else, I gave up and forgot about it.
Back to today, I had a consult this morning with a specialist about some dental pain I have been having for the past month. The first thing the doctor said to me was have we met somewhere before? I was still a little sleepy and was only thinking about what this guy might find in my mouth so I looked up at him, looked him over a bit and said, “no I don’t think so”. He was pondering how we might have met and so I said were you around the last time I came into that office which was around 8 years ago? I was there for a root canal performed by another doctor. He said he probably was there. I didn’t point out that 8 years is a long time to remember someone who we might have glanced at as passersby. I get a lot of people asking whether we have met before and for some reason I didn’t want to ponder this, rather, I wanted to chalk it up to one of my many doppelgangers. Within possibly 1 minute of thinking that, it was like the fog lifted and I clearly saw the face of the man in my dream again and felt a distinct, crystal clear realization that this was that man.
Thereafter, the entire time spent at my appointment felt strangely surreal. I felt nervous and I’m not normally nervous due to all the time I’ve spent in their chairs. It was like I had something to hide or feeling exposed somehow.
I came home and did a quick search, and the man is very accomplished. Has impressive credentials, married and a child. Also, he is not from here so it’s not plausible that we’ve seen each other in that “it’s a small world” kind of way.
I don’t know what the heck this was about, but I am beginning to think I should go see a psychic. I have had other strange things happen in the past but this just doesn’t seem like a normal occurrence. Whatever it was, I felt chilled to the bone and still do.
I was joking about this being attributed to a possible mental issue. After all, I did have that time where I felt sick at work and over the morning, started having anxiety to the point where I knew I had to leave and leave then. While driving home, I happened to spot a guy sitting on some fencing that arches over a walkway that runs across a freeway below. The guy looked upset, like he was crying. I called the police and it was reported later that he had attempted suicide. That incident left me high strung for a while.
What are your thoughts? Does this sort of stuff happen to you?
