haha @Weaponstar that reminds me for a story my friend told me. We were in high school and my friend lived so close to the school he would walk there every morning. So one morning he wakes up looks at his clock that says 3:30 am on it and he thinks to him self "Wow, my clock is messed up" and continues to get dressed for school he has his shoes on and backpack on and goes to say bye to his dad who's still asleep he wakes him up to say bye and dad say what are you doing it's only 3:30. That's when he realized his clock wasn't messed up and he went back to bed.
I know what you mean, I used to take guitar lessons and while sitting in the waiting room for my teacher to finish with his earlier student I heard someone playing classical music on the guitar, thinking that it was my teacher Doug because he's a classically trained guitarist I went to see if it was him. When I got to the room a man stood up and "Hi are you Eric?" and I said "Yeah, hi." he says "Hi I'm Eric ..." (I forgot his last name) "you're Eric ..." (someone else's last name I've forgotten) and I said "No, I'm Eric Sharp, I'm one of Doug's students." We both look at each other and I said "That's weird." and he said "Yeah, that is weird." We talked about music for a few minutes and I let him get back to practicing. Then someone walks in through the door and it was a guy named Eric that I knew from high school and he was the student he was waiting for.
Some time less than a year ago, I woke up one morning - I could hear my mum moving about in her room across the hall. It must have been pretty dark, but I don't remember thinking anything of it. I got out of bed and got dressed (here, afterwards, I could almost swear I might have been dreaming; I had a bizarre and anxiety-inducing difficulty in finding the sleeve-holes in my t-shirt) and went downstairs. /Then/ I noticed it was oddly dark. And it felt kind of empty... more empty than it is every morning when I'm the first up. I wandered into the living room and looked at the clock - I can't remember exactly, but it was some time around 1-o-clock.
Aaaaand everything refocused. It wasn't morning, it was just past midnight. I hadn't heard my mum getting up, I'd heard her going to bed.
What I still can't fathom is how I'd been so certain it was morning. Unless I'd had some kind of dream, that'd got me thinking it was. I don't know. And it was pretty odd how unawake I was while getting dressed. All in all, disorienting.
P.S. Good luck at your audition! (Apologies if these are belated wishes.)
Not exactly as freaky as those stories (I got really anxious listening to the first one!) but I've noticed that in the 12 years of my best friend and I knowing each other, we have somehow crossed onto the same wavelength... I don't know how to explain it other than that. For instance, we'll be at a restaurant and the waiter will have taken our menus and at the exact same time in the exact same tone we will say the exact same thing. Then we just look at each other and shake our heads laughing. Or we'll be in the car driving and we'll just be listening to the music and not talking for a while and then we both turn to each other at the exact same time and start talking. I remember one time we turned to each other and said the exact same thing. It's rather freaky because it's not like we spend all of our time together, but we've gotten so used to it that we just laugh it off at this point. One time I was book shopping and the cashier asked us if we were sisters... not only do we look NOTHING alike, but I am mostly Irish in heritage and she is African-American and Native-American. So where the cashier could have even gotten a notion of us potentially being sisters (as we weren't talking to one another - I was paying attention to the cashier) is beyond me.
One time I went to go to class, any other normal day...and no one was there. I stood there...utterly bewildered, wondering what happened. I could distinctly remember the teacher talking about class on Friday (that day) and I hadn't gotten an email saying class was cancelled or anything...I just felt like I had shifted into another universe or something! And, then I left. I never found out what had happened.... And the there are other times where me and my friend Angela dress in the same clothes, or similar colors, matching perfectly. And I say the same things at the same time with a couple really close friends. The weirdest was with Angela, we were on a boat, starting down at the ocean, not talking to each other, and simultaneously we just said "water," in the same exact voice! Strange coincidences :)
