I got to the pavement expecting to find hundreds of people and found no one. Not a soul. I could hear the fire alarm going off, but not a single person arrived. Eventually the noise stopped so I went back to bed. A couple of hours later I asked all my colleagues why they had ignored the alarm and they all claimed to have heard nothing, so I checked with reception who said they had no record of a fire alarm in the night.

I must have visited an alternate reality, I think. One of those parallel universes you hear so much about.
that happened to me in Amsterdam. I woke up rather confused and stayed in bed.
Was the same day I made the error of eating all the special cookies I had purchased.
