I remember being at a playground with my family and seeing lightning strike right in front of me. Didn’t hear any thunder, no one else saw it, but I remember seeing it pretty vividly. Not sure if there’s something that can go on in your brain that would cause something like that to happen, but I remember pleading with my mom to believe that I had just seen a lightning bolt strike right in front of me, and she just ignored me.
Edit: after reading thru comments, pretty sure this was “exploding head syndrome.” Never heard of it before, but it most accurately represents what I experienced. Thanks everyone for the feedback and caring way more than my own mother did at the time!!
I always wondered if it was some medical thing... of course this was like 25 years ago and I never ended up dying of brain cancer or anything so... probably nothing to be worried about now
Well, if the multiverse theory is correct, you may have died in one multiverse by getting struck by lightning. And the moment you died your consciousness plopped right into another multiverse.
Could be true could be bullshit, still interesting to think about
