Mysterious disappearances and dimensional shifts: Unexplained quietness in nature and encounters with otherworldly beings could be linked to dimensional shifts, potentially explaining mysterious disappearances and reminiscent of legends and folktales
There might be a connection between mysterious disappearances and dimensional shifts, as suggested by experiences of unnatural quietness in the environment and potential encounters with otherworldly beings. This idea is reminiscent of Asian game shows where contestants seemingly vanish and reappear, and is also found in various legends and folktales, such as the missing 411 cases and stories of Bigfoot. Dimensional shifts could potentially explain the unexplained quietness in nature, and might be linked to lucid dreaming or near-death experiences. The possibility of accidental astral projection during lucid dreaming further supports this theory.
