If this ain't weird, I don't know what is:

​

... a woman drifted-off to sleep after playing Pokemon Go on her smartphone. Later that night, she was awoken by a crushing pressure. She opened her eyes and reportedly saw that she was being assaulted by a real-life Pokemon character. Not a person in a Pokemon outfit, an actual Pokemon

Funny how the human mind can be so fragile and strong at the same time.

I hate those "waking up paralyzed" moments. They are terrifying!

The title of this Thread includes the word, "weird".
Here's some weird: For 6 nights in a row, I dreamed I was in bed, awake, and I couldn't get up. On the 7th night I got hit by a drunk driver. When I awoke, I was in a hospital bed in traction. I was in bed, awake, and I couldn't get up...for 3 months!

(Cue Twilight Zone music.)

This experience argues in favor of predestination. That is the only reason I can think of to dream of a life changing trauma for 6 nights in a row before it happened in the physical world.

Good Lord... I didn't know about that particular detail of your experience. As far as the frozen-waking moments in bed go, I've only had a couple of similar events in my life, and yes, they're terrifying.
But I've had quite a few experiences in which I've felt the presence of people in extremely unlikely places just before finding them.

Personally, I'm a strong believer in free will. But I also think that there are many things and forces out there affecting us that are beyond our control. Maybe our subconscious is capable of predicting certain events because it is able to notice things that our conscious mind can't.

Well, I can't think of how my subconscious mind noticed that a drunk driver would arrive in 5 or 6 days.

 

@12 That definitely conjures up the paranormal.

or a dream state induced by medication during injury.

The problem with that theory is that I didn't receive any medication until after the injury. The, "dream state" started 7 days before I received any medication. My subconscious mind deciphering subtle clues that drugs would be arriving in a week?

Oh. I get it. You're saying I imagined the entire 6 consecutive nights of dreams after the injury. Well, that creates another "weird", The people I told about the nightmares before I was injured. One of them even wrote about my strange and annoying dreams in a letter to his wife and brought that written record to my attention several months later in a, "told ya' so" moment because he wrote, "(my real name) is going to get hurt".

(Cue Twilight Zone music)

Two people suffered from drug induced false premonitions before the injury.

And then there's the phenomena we normally call "coincidence" ... although in your case, what were the odds of all those similar events happening the way they did? ... Pretty low, I'm sure.... weird indeed.

 

And then there's the phenomena we normally call "coincidence"

It sure is a strange coincidence to me! That was the only time in my life that I can remember having the same dream 6 nights in a row. They were very memorable nights because the, "dreaming you're awake and can't move" dream is frightening. I was actually accumulating fatigue from unhealthy sleep and a 17 hour per day schedule that would not allow napping to compensate.

Well, I made the choice to continue my school and work schedule in spite of feeling more tired than usual. Vanity about keeping Honor Roll grades at any cost. And my belief that the dreams would end of their own accord and life would get back to normal in a few days.

Still, the dreams were annoying enough that I spoke to a few people about them. One of them put it in writing. I didn't need his writing to convince me, but I don't think a written record by a disinterested party will convince nsaspook. He seems to be my personal skeptic on this site.

So let me tell you about my weird experience last night ... I was having a very strange dream about one of my cats (Luca) when I suddenly half-woke up with the very strange feeling that I was being watched... and there he was, my cat was standing upright very close to my head, staring intensely down at me! ... but I wasn't fully awake then, and I tried to shoo him away, and the darn pet wouldn't move! So I slapped him when I was finally able to gain control of my left hand, trying to make him go away... but it was my own right hand that I slapped!

You see, I had fallen asleep lying on my right side, and my right arm was under my head, with my elbow very close to my face. But my forearm was perfectly upright, and my hand was hanging in such way that it was pointing at my face. And for a moment, my stupid subconscious made me believe that my hand was the cat's head, and my forearm the rest of his body ...

This is all your fault, with this spooky conversation and all

 

So let me tell you about my weird experience last night

That was the usual hallucinations that happen when you wake up and you're still paralyzed. When it happens to me, the ceiling fan (which has 5 blades) is often a scary monster person floating above me. The night light becomes light coming in through a non-existent window to another dimension. The curtains are in the bed because everything is 2 dimensional. I fear that my sleep was disturbed by a person approaching. I can't move. I can't protect myself. Augggh!

If it ever again happens for 6 night in a row, I will expect something truly horrible on the 7th night.
Bwa-ha-ha!

Just wondering here... but you never mentioned what happened to that drunk driver... he was thrown in jail, I assume?

Let me see, supernatural precognition or coincidence and/or dreams. Let me think a bit about which one is more likely.

Well, since this was his third DUI conviction and he didn't have any insurance to pay for my injuries, I heard he was sentenced to 10 days in jail. My lawyer asked about how to find the drunk on the sixth day of his sentence and I told him. The drunk was not in jail.

So I sued the drunk for damages, mostly to get the hospital bills to pursue him instead of me. Can you guess how much they received?

A police person came to me and asked if there was anything I wanted him to do on my behalf during this criminal prosecution. I said, "I'm not going to be walking for a very long time and the drunk isn't going to have a Drivers License for a very long time, so give me his car."

Nope. Can't do that. He crippled you with a borrowed car.

I must have been a very bad person in a previous life to have Karma like that.

That's one thing I don't believe in, karma, that is... yeah, what comes around goes around, at least most of the time.
What happened to you was a sad tragedy that you didn't deserve... and that's that

 

That's one thing I don't believe in, karma,

I don't believe in transcendent Karma either. What I said was mostly a sad joke.
I do believe in localized, short term Karma.
The obnoxious letch at the party gets kicked out. That's Karma.
Anybody that doesn't pay me (as agreed) gets to look up a repairman in the phone book and pay retail next time. That's Karma.
Some random drunk drives their car into a passing stranger? That's not Karma.
The only penalty the drunk gets is a court judgement he will never pay? That's not Karma.
