When I was really young, about 12 or so, I had the whole house to myself. So naturally, I stayed up as long as I could playing videogames.

Now our house was one of the oldest in town, it was awful, it was so old it had different types of timber floors from different years, some of which had holes you could look underneath the house. It was so old that the whole house itself was on a slight lean. If you put a ball on one side of the dining room, it'll slowly roll down to the other side.

My computer was also in the dining room, at the part that wasn't leaning. It was late at night, and I heard a scratching noise. I turned around and saw one of the dining room chairs slowly make its way up towards me, moving by itself until it sat right besides me.

I promptly went to bed.

And you went to bed instead of showing the computer to them. Kinda rude. They were probably disappointed.

My brother and I witnessed a triangle-shaped craft with red solid lights on it cruise over our house silently with three black hawk helicopters following it closely. Flew super low and fast over our neighborhood, probably a thousand feet or less.

Super strange, to this day we still talk about it sometimes and it's a little freaky.

I still find the fact that I managed to graduate from uni and a full time job pretty fucking weird... Especially considering I could never see my self in the daily 9-5 grind before and was honestly fearing I wouldn't last long.

I wonder if it was a hypnic jerk. Brains are weird so maybe your brain made it feel like instead of just jerking in bed (that's what she said) you had fallen and the sense of hitting the cushions was you landing. I know I get hypnic jerks every few months and they always startle me.

I get this falling feeling very regularly, like nearly nightly. You get used to it and now it’s like an indicator for me that I’m about to fall asleep.

I'm in bed right now, writing this comment on my phone. Just a few minutes ago, I saw a bunch of little lights flashing on my alarm clock, in places where it doesn't have any lights. Then I noticed that the alarm had accidentally been turned on and would have interrupted my sleep. And no, there isn't anything behind it with lights, either. I seriously cannot explain what just happened, at least not in any way that isn't wildly improbable.

I got laid off as part of a mass layoff being in an Ag field here in the states. Explain that!!
