Living in a Parallel Universe

[BIAD]

I have had for a long time the feeling that we live in an "interference" Universe, that is two Universes exist in
the same space but at different times. 
Say there is another Universe half a second ahead of us, using the same space and time as us but that half
second out of phase.
Some people can sense it, perhaps we all can but have got indifferent to the feeling so dont notice it.

I -too, have felt this.
At first, I thought it was the remnants of developing into an adult and the confusion brought from interacting
with a world of everyone else making their own decisions. The real nuances of the fairy-tale-like disciplines I'd
been taught at school were now on full display and my environment was certainly not the one I'd assumed from
those lessons.

The texture of a reality I enjoyed as a child fell away to a point that even a certain smell was different, held less
information. Maybe all of this it could be put down to having to stow away that fanciful perspective of life in order
to deal with the harsh, practical climate that we mesh with as a societal animal.
It would make sense for that to be the case.

But I felt it wasn't that kids now used calculators in school exams or that my mind kept referring to past events
being decent practices to hand onto younger people with the added ingredient of power for myself knowing them
first.

It wasn't that I couldn't run as fast as I used to or that sexual attraction to a human had now involved a more
guttural-like physical change instead of the heart-racing reaction of an innocent child, these are parts of being
an adult and I understood that.

I looked and I listened. I researched and still am, perusing different interests and outlandish claims that imply
this world has somehow, been budged off the rails I had assumed.
The norms, the day-to-day world still turns and we create, destroy and race towards whatever gatepost of berserk
we will one day slam into. It seems the plan is still there.

There's something close. Something that's effecting this reality. This isn't about devils and angels, it's not aliens
in the sense that we lazily categorise them as and it's not a God's cheek rubbing against our own.
Though all I can say at the same time is it's possibly none or all the above!

It's postulated that there are different sizes of infinity and many of them. Multiple universes may exist in countless
sizes -in the manner we perceive size, and since we can forget the concern of having 'the room' to hold all these
possible realms, could it be suggested that from time-to-time, two or more of them touch or even merge?

Some say that when we reach a certain age as a human, we start to subconsciously worry about our deaths and
within those repressed musings, we tug at long-forgotten memories from childhood to 'cotton-wool' the brutal
shutdown of our individual lives.

Maybe... maybe that's why we 'feel' the world isn't the same and I could easily buy that as a reason.
It's harsh and impersonal enough for me to accept it. The entire existence of humanity isn't about me and I know
that when the end comes, moral prestige to face whatever happens will be low on my list as my candle is snuffed
out!

Still, I can feel something isn't right and it's not enough to be called an itch, but it's something and I'm sure it's
not something that's 'normal' -for the want of a better word.

Can accounts of ghosts, goblins and flying lights be indicators of this suggested 'interference' universe...? I don't
know for sure. But with the advent of the internet, our access to the strangeness that goes on around this planet
shows that there is merit for such an idea.
