I don't know though, I've always felt (and I do not have anything to back this up with) that at that split second when it happens that an aspect of yourself living a slightly different version of reality to you somehow is doing the same thing, or is in the same situation just on a different plane.

Don't know if it helps, but could make your experience more acceptable when it happens- basically you are just running into yourself and you could say hi :-)
