This happened to me about two months ago.
It could have been just a dream, but I really want someone to hear my story.
That morning, I woke up at 10.
“10 already…?”
The university lecture started at 9.30, but I wasn’t bothered because I was always late anyway.
By the way, I live about three minutes walk from the university campus.
I then had a leisurely breakfast (some leftovers from the previous night), so in the end I arrived at the campus at 10.24 (checked it on my phone).
There was no one on the campus.
Like literally zero people.
I was thinking like,
“Everyone’s in the lectures? Amazing.”
And then, I went to a lecture room myself.
But when I arrived there, it was all empty.
“What? Have I come to a wrong room?”
I checked the schedule but it was the right room.
Weird, I thought.
But something even weirder happened right after this.
As I was leaving the room, my phone rang.
I looked at the screen and it said:
“NOBODY”
in English.
Nothing like this ever gets displayed on a phone screen, right? (Note: this story took place before the age of smartphones.)
I don’t know what got into me then, but I answered the phone.
“Hello? Moshi mo…”
As soon as I said that:
“You! Why are you here!?”
I heard a voice.
It was a voice of a middle-aged man.
“Who is this?”
“That doesn’t matter!! How did you get in here!!?”
“Excuse me, what are you talking about?”
“Just look outside!”
“Stop playing a joke on me!”
I hang up on him.
But I was still curious and went out on the balcony of the lecture room (I was on the second floor).
From there, I could see the sports ground, and there was a middle-aged man standing right in the middle of it.
He was holding something to his ear. It appeared to be a mobile phone.
As I continued to stare at the man, he slowly started turning his head towards me.
“Shit!”
I sensed danger.
A moment later, the man reached into his pocket.
I don’t know why but I felt I should make a run for it, and I left the balcony and darted out of the lecture room.
But just as I crossed the threshold, I felt a weird sensation as if my body was being elongated. I had never felt anything like it before.
“Wha…what’s going on?”
That was when I woke up.
I was lying down in my own room.
It was 8 o’clock in the morning.
Such a weird dream!
I thought, while getting ready for the university, but then soon I found something wrong in my room.
When I opened the fridge, I found no leftovers from the previous night.
Instead, the plates where I had put the leftovers on were in the sink.
I still look back on this experience and now I have my own theory about it.
Wasn’t that man I saw a kind of a keeper of time and space?
Although I don’t remember his voice or how he looked like, I do remember the strange feeling that he was a middle-aged man.
I don’t know why….

This story is one of the many stories that constitute an urban legend known as “Jiku no Ossan ( a middle-aged man of Time and Space).” Some people claim to have wandered into a parallel world where they met this man who seems to have a role of redirecting those lost people to their original worlds!
I don’t intend to translate more stories from this urban legend as they seem all alike, but if I find anything interesting I may feel translate one again!
Thank you so much for following my blog and I hope you have an enjoyable weekend!
Take care and see you again soonπ©·
I wonder, did the middle-aged man have a futuristic phone? More futuristic than smart phones? Or was he using a Nokia 3310 for the durability π
Also, the narrator was absent to the lecture. I don't believe they'll give an excuse "But I was in a parallel world where a man with an indestructible phone called me." It's uni, I think they'll be fine.
Or maybe... As punishment, the middle-aged man ate the luxurious leftovers. π
You know that dream when you dream you are awake and on schedule with things but it's actually a dream as you are still sleeping, except there's only you in it - like playing silent hill but no other people or animal or monster, no oldman time-guardian either. I ended up awake very early too while unfortunately thinking I was already very late
I wasn't scared, but I was embarrassed since I furiously barged into ongoing lectures before my schedule. i still remember the face of my teacher and my prof, also it's strange it happened twice so far XD
But well dream o' dream, I usually put some calming jazz music for good dream :D (or heavy doom metal, according to my friend at work)
Thanks Saya! Can't wait for your next story, take care, have a great weekend, have some rest, and stay healthy!
I think he’ll be on time for the lecture because he went back in time and it’s 8 o’clock in the morning when he woke up (I should have put 8 “ in the morning.” I’m gonna do that now!)
Thank you so much for your fun comment!ππ»πΈ
I actually adore dreams like this, and have a lot of similar experiences in my own dreams where other people/beings are surprised to see me there. It makes me feel like I have some purpose that I haven't discovered yet?
Or maybe I'm just a dream traveler like this mysterious figure. π I wish I could meet him to ask! Sit down and have a nice pot of tea over a multidimensional discussion. π€£
Thank you for all the stories you post!
Somehow I don’t think heavy doom metal will give you a good dream π€£✨✨⭐️
You’re very welcome and thank you so much for leaving the comment! I appreciate your contribution to the blog!πππ
I hope you’ve had a good rest over the weekend π See you again next week and take care! Don’t forget to have fun! πΈ
Thank you so much for your comment!✨ππ»
Thank you so much for your comment ππ»⭐️⭐️⭐️
You must be a multidimensional traveller too!π±⭐️
This old man doesn’t seem like a kind of guy who would sit down and have tea with you thoughπ€£✨
Try jumping over some dimensions to visit me in Japan! Then you will know that your ability is real!π€£⭐️
My pleasure, and thank you so much for taking the time to comment! ππ»π©·Take care and see you again!
I think the man was trying to help him!π⭐️
Wow this is really interesting! I'm glad OP was okay in the end.
Love dream stories π
I think with the age of smartphones, seeing NOBODY, would also freak me out π€£
But if I'm already in that dream world, I would explore a bit first ww
Have a good week ahead Saya!
Yes, I love dream stories but in this case, it wasn’t a dream! He was travelling between different parallel worlds! He woke up, ate the leftovers and went to the university, and somehow wandered into a different world, but that man sent him back the world he originally came from. That’s what’s seemed to have happened π✨
But still, this could have all been a dream and he ate the leftovers in his dream π€£⭐️
Thank you so much for your comment! I hope you have a wonderful week and γΎγζ₯ι± ~ πΈ✨✨✨

Thank you so much for your comment!
it sucks about the leftovers, thoughπ
