So i remember hearing about a lamp from my college friends when we were joking/discussing the matrix. I even know this is the place after my current.. event?.. that the first lamp post ever went.
Last night, christmas eve 2024 I got very high with my ex gf (were just best friends now) and had a moment where I started letting myself.. high think? like whats the earliest form of higher thinking, which lead me to reddit post about cavemen being super intelligent.
My gf and i started talking about it, and we got onto a discussion of theres literally only 2 people in the world. those that when thinking, think of pictures or images to interpret their own thoughts and then those that use words as if reading a book to narate their own thoughts. Discovered she was a picture thinker, and I a word thinker. We somehow turned that conversation onto the discussion of Gnosticism or something like that. an old fascination of hers.
Fell asleep listening to a youtuber basically deep dive gnotsicism and such. Woke up today, on christmas, and felt..off. Had a dream that basically, there was something about the matrix or a altered reality, where to wake up, you have to..do something, or realize something, that would allow you to ascend to another existence through a way of spiritual awakening/thinking (or something like this. again i was very high and very tired, and it was a dream while listening to a weird youtube video) we get munchies at..some point in the night so i wake up, shes still awake, watching the videos, and i ask if she wants to grab food from the kitchen. she says yeah, i go to the kitche with her and we grab food. she leaves.. for some reason, back and forth to her room. i have a underlight to all my cabinets in my kitchen to use at night for times like this, that way we arent blinded by the full kitchen light if one of us wants a snack. theyre all a single light per cabinet. as soon as she leaves. the light closest to me starts flickering. I look at it thinking it will stop, and i need to change it. it doesnt stop flickering. I look under my cabinet and the light seems fine. My gf is gone for a while and I kind of get scared that this light is flickering. I can hear wind whistling despite being indoors. i start saying. "Gf...hey gf.. gf where did you go? gf come here.. get food with me. arent you hungry?"
As SOON as she comes back, the light is fixed, no longer flickering. i stare at the light for a bit, wondering if i should even tell my ex gf. I dont.
anyway, i wake up and my ex is gone. it doesnt matter but yes we slept together. mainly because i was spooked, partially because i was trying to work out our relationship and so far im..making progress..
I woke up and she was just gone which i thought was strange as she never wakes up before me because i get up at 9am every day and she gets up around like...2pm. we have 2 seperate rooms because we live together. I went to her room, she was asleep in her bed. i went downstairs and she sent me a text saying she went to her own bed after not feeling well. I thought it was weird because i just saw her sleeping. I head back to my room and watch some shows, the gnosticsm guy is still playing on my desktop. I turn him off, and put on random youtube videos. eventually play some games. Its christmas and my gf works, so eventually she left for work. nothing unusual. Its now 6:28 and i turn off my games bored, as my friends also arent coming online, or are playing games i dont enjoy. I go get food. nothing unusual. I grab a soda, and I return to my room. I feel like i misplaced my soda. i look around and notice its on my bed. i grab it, and turn back to my desk. out the corner of my eye i see something, and get that "sense" like somethings off. I look around.
- despite grabbing my soda, i lost it again. i see it on my desk.
- theres a black lamp in the corner of the room, infront of a tv i put. i find it VERY strange that its INFRONT the tv. it blocks the view. Its so dark against the black screen of the tv, that if i dont focus on the lamp, i cant see it. but its there. thats basically it. I never bought a lamp. my ex could have. but she would of brought it to my attention. additionally the ENTIRE lamp is black. so black i find it strange because it looks like it would dim a light bulb if turned on inside the lamp. If i stare at the lamp, it looks flat. not round like a lamp would be. Im aware of the other lamp story but dont know how that story goes. just that its a glitch or something when your life is going too good if i remember right. if i stare at the tv and dont focus on the lamp, i cant see it. I have to look directly at the lamp to see it. otherwise i cant. its hard to explain. im unsure whats going on or what to do. tons of people had questions about the other guys lamp, and ill answer anything about my own, but im not going to touch or turn it on. why? you guessed it.. spooked.
