In around the year 2006 or 2007 I began receiving synchronicities nearly every day, for months on end. At first I dismissed them as reg. coincidences, or me just looking for stuff like that. You know the excuses people come up with to dismiss that. I wanted to be a person of reason. But they became impossible to ignore.
A lot of them occurred between different media, which is what perplexed me the most. A news article, or forum post might reflect the same unusual phrase as a 10 year old syndicated tv show - at exactly the same time.
It happened a lot with Seinfeld. (a LOT. I started calling them Seinfeld Synchronicities). As one example, I was in the middle of a forum conversation about corporations like Walmart taking over the business of local shops. I used the term "mom and pop stores" in a message. An hour or so later Seinfeld came on tv. Title of the episode: "The Mom & Pop Store".
Another time, I was chatting with someone about how to guys, the urge for sex is something daily, like eating, going to the bathroom or shaving. At that very moment, Jerry went into his opening comedy bit, and I heard him talking about masturbation. He said "it's something you've gotta do every day... like shaving!" Totally dumbfounding.
They weren't always involving entertainment - but quite a bit. And most weren't crude, but I was a bit perplexed when they were, because I thought "if there is a spirit world explanation to this, it must be some mischievous entity.."
One time I dreamed that a bass guitar was sitting in my hall. I asked my brother in law what it was doing there. He said a friend of ours was going to come over and pick it up that day. I woke up, and thought about this. We hadn't seen the guy in about half a year. I made no mention of the dream. That afternoon, the bass player showed up at the door, he just randomly came over to chat over coffee.
I used to document these a lot, to maybe write a book or something about it. It got tiring to keep track of, honestly. They got stranger and more complex. Here's an example.
There's a band, who I have members of in my online contacts on a social network. One set his avatar as a Geisha Girl. It reminded me of this weird Japanese rap video I saw back in the 90's. All I could remember about it was that the song had lyrics that included "to the partyin' crowd, here's to kickin' it loud". So I typed that in Google. This returned a completely different set of lyrics by a different band. One of the composers names, however, was the same as a member of the band that I know, whose other member had an avatar of a Geisha Girl. For completely unrelated reasons. And no it wasn't something like "Mike Smith".
Synchronicities still happen to me every day, but I've learned to tune them out, because I think that otherwise, I wouldn't function very well. I just kind of rest in the knowledge that there is some kind of strangeness out there beyond what human reason can explain with things like statistical probability, or looking for meaning where it does not exist. I mean, I dare someone to explain how I LOOKED for the above to happen. The connection was just immediate and obvious.
Anyone else go through something similar, that has nothing to do with numbers?
