I explored the whole house and was looking around the kitchen when I opened the door to the left of the fridge, and inside was a spacious room with high ceilings.
There was a stairway that led up to the second floor, and in the middle was a glass coffee table.
There were two workers in there painting the ceiling using a ladder, and they both gave me a strange look.
Me, being the shy child that I was, figured I would explore the room later after they left.
About two hours later, I go back to the same door with the intent to explore the room.
They looked at me all confused, saying there was never a room there, nor did they have any workers over.
I went behind the door, and there was no way a room that size could have ever fit in the house.
When I went back to their house again, I checked the same door to make sure I wasn't crazy, but apparently, that room never existed." Aside from a few dismissals about this being a childhood memory and therefore obviously a dream, one comment caught my attention.
It said, "You may very well have glimpsed another dimension or state of consciousness.
You can talk to people about the history of the place or if anyone planned to renovate or build the house with such a room." And I love that because I agree.
It's easy to dismiss memories and experiences you don't understand or can't prove, but that doesn't mean this didn't happen.
So what do you think? Was this a time slip into the past or the future, a crossing into an alternate timeline, or just a child with a vivid imagination? [clock ticking] Our next poster tells us of a time they tried to reach a friend's house they visited hundreds of times but simply couldn't get there.
