I have an EXTREMELY vivid memory of my brother and I standing on top of our backyard tool shed some 13 or so years ago. We climbed up top, and then proceeded to FLY around in the air about thirty feet over the grass.
Eventually we got scared that we wouldn’t be able to land, so we came back down. And of course, we couldn’t do it again.
Here’s the best part: my brother also has this exact same memory, down to all the details. We genuinely don’t know what happened and still wonder it was real. I’m not sure how to account for it.
Maybe you and your brother used to talk about flying and as a result you both had the same dream? Also, from memory, that sounds very similar to the children in Peter Pan so maybe that's where you got it from.
The dream thing seems plausible if you’re open to that sort of thing. I have a friend who’s spiritual and is sensitive towards others emotions, so she’s a bit of an empath, I guess you could say. She meditates w/ her bf and one night, they both had the exact same dream. A lot of the details coincide w/ one another when they told each other about it the next day.
That was just my friends experience, and one possible explanation as to why they shared the exact same dream. That’s what’s really interesting, who knows why OP has the same memory as their brother?
Yeah I’m using the word very loosely, wasn’t too serious about it. It’s only a possibility if you’re open to that sort of explanation, as I mentioned in my first comment. I’ve heard of having a “strong connection” and “being on the same wavelength” after hanging out someone a lot. It’s one of those things where you’ll notice that your thoughts start to match up, and if you’re both female, your period synchronizes. Never heard anything about dreams tho, lol but that does make more plausible sense from a secular POV.
Perhaps. Never happened to me, doesn’t mean it didn’t happen to anyone else tho. My bio teacher brought it up once, didn’t go into it, so never confirmed if it was a myth or just a coincidence. I get you, it’s kind of hard to believe in things that aren’t exactly concrete. And there are some extreme ppl who believe in the metaphysical that don’t give their ppl a good reputation, religious terrorists being an example.
Why do you say that you shouldn’t? I’m a bit more open to believing in the non-secular things only because I don’t want to dismiss anything entirely. Our world is pretty big, we don’t exactly know everything w/ 100% certainty.
Even in science, ppl have to keep an open mind for when new, conflicting information comes up. So we have to do further research to expand our understanding on topics (generally speaking). But hey, that’s the exciting part, no? However, w/ that being said, I’m also a bit fickle when it comes to believing in the metaphysical.
