The Alternate’s Death
You know when you’re falling asleep, and you suddenly get the feeling that you’ve tripped? You’re body lurches forward in an instant, ready to protect you instinctively from injury. You can almost SEE the ground rising to meet you. This occurs when the boundaries between you and the “you” in an alternate universe are weakest.
This is the feeling that happens when another “you” dies.
I never thought of it that way. ._.
This happened to me last saturday. I can kinda feel that feeling again right now.
But, a question; this has happened to me dozens of times. What does that mean?
This never happens to me if I masturbate before bed.
Does that mean that my masturbation saves another me’s life?
:3
there are more than 12 alternate realities
This happened to me last Saturday. I can kinda feel that feeling again right now.
But, a question; this has happened to me dozens of times. What does that mean?
——–
I think it means that dozens of alternate “you”s have died in their alternate realties.
All my me’s are still alive and kicking, thank you…
So…what happens when all the other “yous” are dead?
“So…what happens when all the other “yous” are dead?”
Well in that Jet-Li movie whenever he killed his alternates he became stronger, so maybe that?
o.o
I really hate when that happens
This reminds me. Last saturday when I was driving home I saw a strange light in the sky. Soon I was surrounded in an orange light, and when I came to, I was home. Do you know what happened to me?
The person that made up this creepy wasn’t too bright, otherwise they’d have realized how stupid it is that the other you’s only “die” while you are trying to fall asleep.
This is actually a very common phenomenon called a “hypnic jerk.” It’s a glitch in your brain, not a glitch in the matrix.
@10:
It was last Thursday, you fail D:.
I’ve experienced this phenomena.
By “other me”, can I assume it’s another me from another time-line (given you believe in the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics), or is it another me from a completely different universe, or both?
p.s. @Dreamer, I mean absolutely no offense when I say this, but the story itself did say “This occurs when the boundaries between you and the “you” in an alternate universe are weakest”; which means that the creepypasta’s logic is basically saying that, even if another “you” were to die, you could “only” know when you in this state of sleep, making impossible to know during other times in the day whether or not another “you” died.
Additionally, all of us are completely aware that this creepypasta is a lie that plays on our ignorance of common things, and most are. Nobody here is taking it seriously and the rest of us are simply talking about it hypothetically. However, I do agree with you; anyone who seriously believes in any of these creepypastas needs to be reminded that they’re all just scary stories and that any real phenomena like this probably wouldn’t be posted on 4chan. Thanks for explaining the phenomena to us, though.
Thanks for your time.
“Hypnic jerks are usually felt once or twice per night. More regular, and usually less intense, hypnic jerks often occur during normal sleep. In extreme cases, this may be classified as a disorder called periodic limb movement. The person with the disorder will usually sleep through the events.”
Once or twice per night?! Fuck, my me’s must be Lemmings.
The feeling as, Falling from your bed then waking? It’s belived to be “Your soul re entering your body.” Normally these occur after Lucid dreaming or Out of Body Experiances and Astral Projection.
HA HA I, win alternate selves!
so five of me died during my last “principles of aesthetics class?
God I hope one of them doesn’t take Microeconomics!
Jesus. I feel that all the time.
Then hundreds of alternate me’s have met their end.
Omg
This happens to me all the time at night.
Im sleeping then my upper body jolts up in a sit up fashion.
i wonder how long before the only one in the alternate realities who doesnt feel this is me
When i die :O
Theoretically, there could be an infinite number of other ‘you’s. Infinite alternate realities, infinite possibilities for you to die.
Your telling me some loser in another dimension dies from simply tripping on the ground? WEAKLINGS
okay at least 10 alternate me’s have died, that sucks :/
@ Frozen: LOL! honestly XD thats a stupid way to die.
that mostly happens to me when im in my first sleep and in it I trip down stairs o.O ..and i think once wen i was youger it happened wen i dreamt there was a snake in front of me>< and wen it snapped at me I fell back and did the hypnic jerk. lol
I made a movie about this exact same thing
Ariel, it means you die a lot
lol at FCF [i know who u are btw]
but like dozens of mes have died…gosh i’m a serial killer O_o
then i have alot other i get i now powerfull such in this movie? XD
I DIED LAST NIGHT
@ number 3
U R A WINRAR
WTF I DIED LIKE 665 TIMES.
Oh damn, not again…
(sorry for cliche, but I couldn’t resist)
Urh…I hate it when that happens to me. Nice idea.
Great pasta is great.
And, @11, suspend your disbelief for a second and enjoy a good creep-out.
I never thought of it this way. I had this feeling happen a few days ago…Probably 5 in total that I can remember. Woo! I’ve died 5 times in alternate universes =/…A rather unsettling feeling.
This too is equally disturbing to think about, as I often have this sensation when dozing off. Yes, I’m sure there’s probably a scientific reasoning for this, as most argue that there are, but if you think of it from this angle, it’s actually rather spine chilling.
BUT WHO WAS BED?!
Usually when this happens to me I can’t tell why it would, but once I was dreaming I was walking through the woods and slipped in some mud, and that caused my leg to jerk me awake. Thought it was odd but kinda cool.
It only happened thrice or maybe four times.
But my alternate selves go forth and multiply, so we are gonna dominate the world!
Lol, interesting theory, but that is not what it is.
That always happens to me whenever I try to sleep. Weird.
I thought it was your body snapping out of an OBE.
Omfg….How many you’s can there be? Because this has happened to me sooo many times. Just last Wednesday this happened. ._.
lol ed made me laugth
laugh*
Wow i used to have this happen when i was little, but only when i slept on this one couch. I would wake up freaking out. I actually almost believe this…. Amazing Pasta though i love it! <3
i’ve heard that happening to people but it’s never happened to me.
HAHA.
omg i had this happen when i was a young , my aunt had lifted me over the balcony of my appartment the fall would have killed me,, i fell of in my dream , i had died!!!! the next day this actualy happened in real life but i called out to my mother and she came and took me away from her supposivly saving my life,, i had this dream 4 times before i experianced it in real life. i think i may have died. weird ehhhh!!!!!!! well i must of pist some people to get thrown off a balcony
well then Many alternate me’s have died
I always experience this whenever I fall asleep in class. .__.
sometimes i feel like im rocking then i fall for 10 seconds when im about to sleep then after that i feel an intense pain sometimes what is wrong with the other mes are they retarded???
Lol, i always thought i could just feel myself ACTUALLY falling asleep. ^.^
I’ll feel myself falling, and THEN experience the jerk…
Funny how I want to teach rock-climbing as a profession at some point…
My other me’s must be falling off cliffs left and right. DAAAMN.
No.
What about those ones were, for a split second you feel like your falling and cannot move, just for a split second, I’ve had those sorts of dreams. For a split second after waking I’m totally paralyzed, it’s so weird.
This makes rule #86 make some sense….that happens to me all the time, and one time happened to my friend at a sleep over…after she twitched, I got bitch slapped.
Awww man…
I always get this feeling when I’m about to go to sleep.
