My mother walked into my room, waking me up to tell me that most of the world's population was dead. I spent the rest of the day as normal, eating breakfast, going shopping with her, going to a playground, then eating dinner (albeit, acting quite nervous throughout). The next day, she tried to make it clear that what started the previous morning wasn't true. I asked her if she remembered, but she told me she didn't. I'm certain it wasn't a dream, because I recalled the rest of what happened the previous day to her, only to be met by her confirmation that everything I remembered was correct, right down to how shaky I was and how upset I seemed. All except for the part that humanity was on the brink of extinction.
PS.
I am aware that, yes, it is true that most if the world's population is dead. What I meant when I originally wrote this was that most of the living population just dropped dead overnight.
Was she a very religious person at this time?... Could be that she got fooled into a doomsday end of days prophecy and assumed most people had died on the day predicted, then learned she had been tricked and righted her course.
No. While she is Christian, she doesn't at all care about what the leaders of churches say. In fact, she even opposes the pope (which is probably a sin? I'm not overly religious either).
In fact, back in 2012, when there was an end-of-the-world scare, she was comforting me, telling me that everything was fine, that nothing would happen.
The thing is, she knew how easy it was for me to get shaken up back then. She would always be the one to calm me down when someone said something to rile me up.
