Interdimesional travelling

[Shane150495]

This is a very bizarre story so I'll try to keep it as simple as possible, basically i started working at the british red cross just last year in February, i walked into the office upstairs and noticed that they had tv monitors so the managers could watch the shop with the cctv, a few weeks later i noticed that the monitors had disappeared from the office, i didn't make a big deal out of it and went on working there for the rest of the year, then i thought I'd ask one of the managers what they did with the monitors and they said they've never had any monitors in there, i was completely freaked out i made sure she was telling me the truth and she was, i was definatly not dreaming because I've never lucid dreamed before and when I'm close to doing it i get scared and jump back to my body, so can anyone possibly help me understand what's actually happened here and has anyone heard of any stories like this before, I've heard a few and there quite strange, please believe me people this is blowing my head off, having a few laughs about it also so don't get too worried for me

I call them overlays, they are not locked to the present. My last one yesterday showed me a wall and a bus stop I recognised from the 70's. I was 12 miles away driving at the time.
There's not much posted on them.
Are they common for you ?

It's got nothing to do with what i experience in astral if that's what you mean if not I'm not sure what your talking about sorry, basically all can tell is that in one dimension there are camera recording monitors in one dimension and not in this dimension

Most likely there is some mundane explanation... such as that the manager you spoke with was not authorized to divulge security information under any circumstances. Or perhaps the manager you spoke with was actually hired after the monitors had been removed.

I had the same point of view i kept begging them to tell me if they had got rid of them, but they promised me that there weren't any and they're the kind of people that would defiantly tell me the truth, strangely enough before i realised this had happened i started to make up a theory of how to travel between dark space i.e nothingness to other universes and i believe it's a huge process about learning how the universe actually works i would go into detail but it's quite complicated and it'll be too long to type in

I appreciate all of that... but usually when you are looking to explain an unexplained event, you start at the most probable and mundane/plausible explanations, eliminate those, and you slowly work you way up the chain to increasingly more implausible things. The whole Sherlock Holmes routine.

Is it possible that the monitors traveled interdimensionally, or that you traveled to another reality? Sure, why not.

But the thing is... invoking interdimensional travel is like explanation 579 on a long list of possibilities. There are huge list of things ahead of interdimensional travel on that list.

It is far more likely that you are being lied to by seemingly truthful people. Orders of magnitude more likely. After that, comes mistakes, oversights. After that, comes a fallible memory. You said it was a year back. How can you be sure you remember things clearly that far back? I have a fairly sharp memory, but memories get corrupted. I would not be positive about a small detail from a year back. Hell, it is comparitively more likely that some person put the monitors there to trick only you, then took them back. That is like number 46 on the list maybe. Even that would be far more likely, you see?

How should you number your list? Order it based upon how many unknowns must be true in order for each example to be possible. Say for example you were being lied to. That requires 0 unknowns in order to be possible. We know that people lie, and we know that people sometimes have motive to lie. What about the idea that bigfoot took the monitors? Several unknowns... firstly, that there is a bigfoot; next, that bigfoot takes an interest in anonymous electronic devices.

What if I told you those monitors were probably aliens pretending to be monitors? If you were like most people, you would ask me how I knew that, and more importantly, why I had not considered something that required less unknowns to be true in order to be possible. 

We have these confirmation biases built into our mental filters. We are always looking for opportunities to validate our own personal hypotheses.

It might sound like I am being a killjoy here, but it really is important to be rational about our theories and explanations about the world.

I completely understand what your getting at, thanks for the very detailed post, i never really thought to look into the logical explanations first because I've had so many strange things happen to me in the past, even my managers say i need to now ground myself with my thoughts, i always talk about astral, my dreams, aliens, Lucifer and what not so it really puts me in the position to believe in the impossible
