Red Pill Junkie is correct. There are odd things that happen in our lives that we very easily dismiss. I'm simply saying that we probably shouldn't be so quick to jump to mundane conclusions, just as we should not jump to the equally lazy conclusion that we're being abducted by space-faring doctors.<br /><br />And to clarify. I had just started the puzzle game at about 11:00. Which is why I was confused when I glanced at the computer's clock (after playing two or three levels of the game) and apparently more than 3 hours had passed. I did not fall asleep - I know what it's like to do that and I am very familiar with the sensation. This was as if I had slowed down in time while the rest of the world passed by normally. I don't know what to make of it, that's all. Because of the work I do, my computer is set never to hibernate while it is plugged in (which it was), because it wrecks animations that take hours to complete. And the machine's timer is correct.Damienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00808617742662199495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7455216065351371692.post-20476167395802155762011-11-17T11:45:09.870-08:002011-11-17T11:45:09.870-08:00Just so you all know - - -

I have been communicating with this fellow for a few years, and his story is as strange and impressive as any I've heard.<br /><br />At the same time, he speaks eloquently about how deeply challenging it's been to try and make sense of his experiences.<br /><br />And he has gone beyond the "why should I bother" stage and he's actively looking into his own experiences.Mike Clelland!https://www.blogger.com/profile/11369575898695154728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7455216065351371692.post-89593829391923204112011-11-17T10:48:49.857-08:002011-11-17T10:48:49.857-08:00>so why should I bother?

But all of them? can anyone honestly reach that level of certainty?Red Pill Junkiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14738203580562140501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7455216065351371692.post-26110411700701759322011-11-17T10:33:04.942-08:002011-11-17T10:33:04.942-08:00Sorry, but while there's interesting stuff on ...Sorry, but while there's interesting stuff on this site, this sounds almost like self-parody. Maybe you'll delete this comment for being "offensive or excessively harsh", but this is just an account of somebody falling asleep under circumstances which are perfectly normal in every way.<br /><br />It is suggested here that applying any kind of logic whatsoever to anything is a form of left-brain tyranny that turns some unfortunates into narrow-minded bigots who are practically robots. But I really don't see the merit in switching off your basic common sense. If I did, where would it end?<br /><br />Many times I've suddenly fallen asleep in a sitting position late at night while doing something trivial because I thought I couldn't sleep, and woken up in the early hours in a befuddled state because I was cold or uncomfortable. Does that automatically mean that space-aliens think I'm tremendously important and are constantly watching me, interfering with my life in ways I've been prevented from recalling, and maybe grooming me to be more special than everyone thinks I am?<br /><br />By the way, I could tell you a few stories which would be right up your street, but if your standard of "weirdness" is this low, anything said by anybody will do just as well, so why should I bother?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7455216065351371692.post-8551085082624683902011-11-17T10:05:17.758-08:002011-11-17T10:05:17.758-08:00That sounds (um, read?) like a smart fellow.

Did the battery drain during the 3+ plus hours of 'missing time'? did it went to sleep mode? did the puzzle game have a timer?Red Pill Junkiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14738203580562140501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7455216065351371692.post-70879663393669970882011-11-17T01:24:44.042-08:002011-11-17T01:24:44.042-08:00My choice would be intuition over the so called &q...My choice would be intuition over the so called "intellect" any-day. <br />Life is definitely more fun using that approach anyway. <br />The trick is knowing that it really is the intuition and not just wishful thinking leading you astray.Brizdaz (Darren)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16218154629850982033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7455216065351371692.post-42928737604922220222011-11-16T17:34:42.373-08:002011-11-16T17:34:42.373-08:00Missing time, that's sure what it sounds like....Missing time, that's sure what it sounds like.
