Maybe You Had to Be There, but I'm Creeped Out Now by my Bed

Last night Ian and I went to bed at my apartment after a night of camping. We were both very tired despite naps, because even though his equipment is top notch, we still slept on the damn ground. Downhill. Which we discovered well into the night when I rolled onto his sleeping pad and smashed his face into the mesh. Then I pushed him in the back. (All while asleep, mind you.)

We went to a bed that was right side up, all things aligned, and promptly fell asleep. Sometime in the night I awoke to discover that the sheet was now somehow on top of the comforter. Not in part or on one side, but it was as if a giant had come in and flipped the sheet and comforter completely.

I woke Ian by telling him that the sheets were now on top.

"What?," he asked me.

I repeated that the sheets were now on top, and asked if he would help me flip them back.

And he did. I think.

I only remembered the strange sheet reversal incident just now, when preparing the bed for tonight's sleep. In recalling it, the situation seems even more bizarre. How did the sheet get entirely flipped? Did that even happen?

I wrote Ian: "Remember last night when I woke you up and said, "The sheets are on top," and we flipped the comforter? Or did I dream that?"

He replied almost immediately: "I remember the comment and sort of the flipping, yeah."

So, it did happen. I wasn't dreaming. But that means that somehow in the night the sheet and comforter reversed themselves fully while we slept. Is it possible through a few tosses and turns that our covers flipped themselves all the way over, lying completely flat, as if someone had made the bed that way intentionally.

Fucking creepy, I tell ya.

Read the Holographic Universe by Michael Talbot. It describes a scientific theory that the universe is in fact a "multi-verse" wherein an infinite amount of realities overlap one another all at the same time. Since our consciousness is only tuned into one we are not aware of this - but sometimes, glitches happen, and we can become aware of out of place objects. Kinda neat, huh? Hopefully this idea might make what happened a little less creepy. :)
