Has anyone ever noticed that you aren't in the same universe anymore? Here is an example.

I am 100% certain that my wife's family member was one name the entire time I have known her. Recently she now claims that it is another name entirely. It sounds very similar with a difference of only 1 letter. So here are my potential conclusions on this subject matter.

- My wife is an impostor (Unlikely. I would know the difference.)

- My memory is off. (Very unlikely. Not with this level of certainty)

- I have shifted into another universe from a previous one. (Maybe?)

What are your thoughts?

Has this sort of thing ever happened to you before?

Can you shift into alternate universes and if so, how does it happen?

Cognitive Bias - If the two names sound very similar, your brain might have solidified one version over time, and now the actual name feels "wrong."

Possible.

Though the way my mind works if I had to give a percentage of the likelihood of this potentiality.

10% max.

Youd be surprised how unreliable our memory actually is....

Oh I am well aware of the reliability being not what it used to be.

Especially since I have a lot of repressed memories.

However my mind and memory is Eidetic almost photgraphic in nature. With distinct abilities to remember audio vividly as well. It is probably why I can have superb pattern recognition, genius level IQ, and can play any song I hear by ear on several instruments in a very short period of time with ease.

This is one of those rare instances that I can recall dozens of times. Replay the audio within my mind. I am absolutely certain that the name is what I remember it, but now it is a new one.

This is not the first time something like this has happened. It most often happens with movies, tv shows, or books. Where I am certain of events happening one way before, but now when I revisit them they are slightly different. So that draws me more back to quantum theory and that we are constantly shifting universes all the time. With some more drastic changes than the others, but always so subtle that you hardly notice the shift.

This is one of those deviations in continuity of my own perception of reality that makes me want to take a harder look at this subject matter. For if it is possible and it is happening all the time. Maybe I can figure out how to shift into more positive directions and influence different outcomes on the future of my life. Maybe that is the essence of what prayer is?

Do you remember that time you zigged instead of zagged in traffic to avoid that loaded semi on the way to work? You didn’t make it. You just changed tracks. It’s happened to me I’m certain. I think the original me got wiped on September 11, 2001. I was driving to a sales call listening to the radio reports of the second tower being hit. I’m pretty sure I got it while texting my wife about the news. Must have crossed the centre line. The world hasn’t been the same since.

I can understand this feeling.

The amount of times that I should have died, but didn't are astounding.

Burned alive.

Head and arms run over by a truck and trailer.

Deadly diseases.

Motorcycle accidents.

Being caught in a white out going 75mph on the highway in a blizzard and my car goes sideways.

I mean shit. The list goes on and on and on.

So either I am shifting realities, really am lucky, or I am in a coma imagining my own realitites.

It's wild that you're putting shifting into another universe as more likely than your memory being off.
