    I’ve been leaving behind a few more dead timelines than usual lately. deja-vu-like flashes of mistakes I’m concurrently avoiding AND making at once. tripping down stairs that i actually made it safely to the bottom of. catastrophic car accidents that everyone actually ends up driving away from unscathed. I see it flash before my eyes and divert my course… I try to tell myself it’s just experiential pattern recognition providing examples of what could go wrong, why to be cautious and take care. But… Yeah, this hits freaky

      Read Anathem by Neal Stephenson. Fantastic book that actually hits that topic, especially near the end.

      I’ve also had these.

      Not always mistakes.

      The one I had at the farmers market when I saw a flash and the entire thing obliterated by a nuke ala T2 was the worst.

      So bad my wife noticed my expression change.

      Had fun with that in therapy.

      Having literally just now finished re-reading If This Book Exists You’re In The Wrong Universe, I’m compelled to ask if you’ve come into contact with any thick black goo that seemingly moved on its own?

      I also got some Mickey 17 vibes. Nothing over the feeling of your bones getting crushed between some heavy machinery while nothing actually happened. But yeah, it’s just “dreams”, alright? 😅
