I am what I consider a very regular man in my early 30s. I have a stable job; I am in a solid and happy relationship; I enjoy travelling, eating out, gaming, hiking and culture.
But my entire life I have experienced something which I have called “life bleeding”. I have really struggled to find anything similar online, so decided to put the sensation out into the open world to see if anyone else has experienced something similar. It is a very broad yet subtle sense of memory & emotion – so apologise in advance if there’s not much to go off of.
Every now and then – it could be minutes apart, weeks, months or maybe even years. I get this sensation out of nowhere that I am living another life – this life could be happening parallel to mine or in the past (but I’ve never had the sensation of anything happening in the future). It is also never the same life I am feeling when it happens.
The feeling itself is super hazy. I am fully aware and in control of everything I am doing in the present as myself. But my mind and memories for a brief moment open up. The most similar sensation I can describe it to is ‘Deja Vu’ – but it’s just I am experiencing something from a different place, perspective and from a different being. That is either happening now or has happened.
The events themselves are mostly mundane. It could be that someone driving somewhere, eating a meal or having a conversation. But I have had occasions where I have experienced traumas such as bereavements or physical harm.
I want to clarify that this isn’t just me thinking and imagining these things (at least I don’t feel I am) – It always feels so distant in my mind; and it’s a struggle to bring it into closer view. It’s just something I’ve had with me for as long as I remember; where for a second or two, my life is bleeding into someone else’s and vice versa.
Would love to know if anyone has experienced something similar. ✌️
