I've had Twilight Zone-feeling experiences driving in East Tennessee but usually it is due to the bad or strange driving habits of all the hillbillies and suburbanites on the road.

Whatever the Mandela Effect actually is, it is in a general sense what you have experienced. I had a similar experience in 2020, which could be my own GLP thread, but why not just post it here:

For reference, go to google and type in, "mbe cpas baraboo wisconsin". Click on the google map that comes up above the company's profile at the right.

So, my wife and I were traveling north on BD just after turning left off of 33 (just south) and my wife was using google maps GPS to get us to the CPA destination. Her phone said, "in X feet, turn left on Coop Lane". We did. At the end of that block I saw a green street sign which clearly declared, "Coop Ln". To our right, where the CPA should have been, there was numerous heavy equipment such as backhoes and bulldozers. There were building structures being erected. Confused, we made a u-turn at the end of the block in the parking lot of foremost farms. When we stopped at the intersection of Doris Drive and Coop Lane after getting turned around, the Coop Ln. green sign now read, "Penny Ln.". I was mortified. My wife did not notice the difference. I described what I had seen and she did not see the sign in the first place. I asked her if she remembered her phone saying to turn left on Coop Lane and she replied, "well, maybe, yeah?". I asked her our of curiosity to travel straight up Doris Dr. to get a look around. We did, and when we reached the next street, the street sign was white and read, "Coop Ln.". We looped around and came back to what was now Penny Ln. only to see that where the CPA should have been, it was. No construction, no heavy equipment. We went to the CPA and came out. When looking up the map later, it all became more clear that Coop Lane and Penny Lane had traded places.

I couldn't get "Penny Lane" out of my head, so about a week later when randomly browsing YouTube, a suggestion was the song, "Penny Lane" by the Beatles. I played it. "Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes"... Perhaps coincidence on the Beatles note, but very bizarre.

You're talking Emory Road?

Yeah coming off the Plateau is an experience.

Driving in E Tenn. can be disorienting, period. You go over a hill and then maybe a tight curve and bam you're in a completely different environment than you were 10 seconds ago.

Lived there for years and didn't know East from West because of all the hills and ridges.

The theory I have come up with so far, is that reality is mostly the same as a dream in how it operates. Of course in a dream things are more flexible then base reality. I call it base reality because it's the most consistent. In spite of this consistency I still think that it operates the same way as dreams or mental constructions through consciousness.

I do not completely subscribe to the simulation theory for this reason. I think the dream theory is more advanced and fits the definition better.

Re: Singular experience last Thursday on a road-trip – shifting timelines? Defies explanation…
This past Thursday (3/17/22) My adult daughter and I were driving from TN to NC for a family wedding. We depart the Nashville area early in the morning, prepared for a 9-10 hour drive.

We are excited about the wedding, looking forward to seeing a bunch of family / friends, and the long weekend. Great weather, comfortable car, family dog in the backseat (Ruger, wicked-smart German Shepherd).

About 3 hours into the drive, on I-40 eastbound, her Wayze app pipes up and says there is an accident ahead. Sure enough, within a minute or two, we start to slow down and traffic starts to bunch up.

Another few minutes, and we are at a complete standstill. I throw the car in park, we roll the windows down, and chat about the traffic, the accident, and how we hope it clears soon. A few minutes later, I get out of the vehicle, let Ruger have a pee and a sniff, and I stand in the grass, looking at the traffic jam.

Hundreds (thousands, really) of cars and trucks stretch to my left, west, as far as I can see. To my right, same thing. This is a major traffic jam, both lanes, no exit ramps. Good Dog & I get back in the car. I make a comment to my daughter that I hope we actually get to see the accident, and then feel bad for saying it. Minutes pass, and we slowly start to move.

Another few minutes, crawling at maybe a walking speed, suddenly there are orange cones reducing the two lanes to one. We end up behind a big box truck, trapped in our lane, unable to see anything ahead of us. Must be a bad accident.

Behind us, an endless line of traffic. In front of us, nothing visible but the roll-up door of the box-truck.

We have seen no evidence of an accident. No emergency vehicles, no debris. Also no signs of construction other than the orange cones.

Then the cones start to march away, to my left, opening up the left-hand lane. I hit my blinker (habit), pass the truck, get back into the right-hand lane, and start accelerating.

What I see in front of me takes a few seconds to process.

There is no traffic. Just an empty two-lane freeway, slowly rising up to a crest, a mile or two in the distance. My brain tries to reconcile what I am seeing, because I expected to see hundreds of cars and trucks accelerating & jockeying for position, just freed from the single lane, walking speed, traffic jam.

Instead, nothing. As I accelerate up to about 80 mph, we have a weird exchange of “Wait, what?” and “do you see this?” type comments.

As we pull farther away from the slower-moving box truck, I look in the rearview mirror and my stomach drops. There is no traffic behind us, either. Except for the truck, receding in the distance. My daughter is semi-speechless. We share awkward laughter and keep looking at each other for confirmation that we are both seeing the same thing.

It was perhaps two or three minutes, zooming along at about 85 (the freeway is frikken empty), and we started to encounter sporadic traffic. I also started to see vehicles behind us. Another few minutes, and it seemed to be restored to the normal amount of traffic.

At the dinner, wedding, and reception, we shared the experience with family and close friends. People that know we are not delusional. We mostly got wide eyes and responses like: “I got nothing.” “Crazy.” A few red-pilled people were talking Mandela and the multi-verse and shifting timelines.

We were sober, alert, visibility was perfect. Neither of us have ever had hallucinations that we are aware of. We are both very red-pilled, and often discuss GLP-ish things.

I have seen some shit in my 50+ years. I have never had an experience that straight-up defies ANY explanation that is conventional. My daughter and I have talked about this several times a day, every day, since it happened. We are both still at a loss.

I swear and affirm that everything I just wrote is accurate to my knowledge and memory. In fact, I wanted to make this post in order to get it written down and archive it. My daughter mentioned this morning that as time passes, she is finding herself doubting what we experienced, as though just a week of confusion is enough to make our minds start to scrub away something we cannot explain. I do not want that to happen, because I KNOW what I saw (or didn’t see) and I do not want it to go down the memory-hole.

I will say, I am glad we experienced it together, so we each have a witness.

I got nothing.

I may be a crazy GLP'er, but I am not nuts. I know what I experienced, and for the first time in my life, I cannot come up with a rational answer outside of God, multi-verse, timeline shifts, maybe a little Mandela thrown in...


What say you, GLP? I am really looking forward to your insights.

I live in Lebanon just outside of Nashville and there have been INSANE traffic jams on I40 in both directions for a couple of weeks now. Even on Hartmann which is usually a nothing burger.

Having said that though, CERN just got turned on after 3 years and this may have affected you somehow. A lot of weird stuff happens along that corridor of I40 and I think it may have to do with CEDARS OF LEBANON which is one of the spookiest places in the world.... a holding facility for the Animus, or Anima, I believe.

Back when I was in high school. I was towards the end of a verbal test. The teacher would give a question and we were supposed to write the answer. Then suddenly I was back at the beginning. I hadn't written anything yet. The teacher started giving the same questions that I had already heard.

So I wrote down all the answers in advance and listened to him ask the questions.

These little blips in the matrix happen. I don't know how they happen. I don't know why they happen. But they do happen.

Just make note of it, and move on. More evidence that we are having a human experience and are here to learn something.
