Coincidences

How would that be an insult?

When things are going real good for me in a moment of my life… lets say I have a few great lucid dreams in one night… then I go for a walk… I always find dead birds in my path. Five days ago I had an intense OOBE, I go for a walk and find a freshly dead hawk in my path. Yesterday I was on a walk with extremely high energy around me. I felt so naturaly High, then I find a freshly dead pigeon in my path. I feel sorry for the birds. Oh, I wonder why, Why when things are going real good for me, I find dead birds. Makes me wonder. What a “coincidence”! A long time ago all in one night, I had 3 OOBE’s and long LD’s. That night I go for walk for 1 hour and count a total of 7 freshly dead birds all on same sidewalk!
Anybody else have reacurring “Coincidences”?

You cant answer a question with a question, it just sends more confusion

Yikes…perhaps you take on the shape of a really huge feline in your Out-of-body adventures and the birds get so scared of you they drop dead in mid-flight!

:sly:

nm this one… :wink:

I LAUGHED OUT LOUD at this side conversation. Not only was the original story funny because… WTH are fish balls!? … but then the confusion and the anger. Ho ho! I must say that was good for a gut chuckle… but seriously guys. Calm down. It was just a misunderstanding.

For an interesting theory about coincidences, try reading The Celestine Prophecy. I don’t claim that the ideas in the book are true in any way but if you want your wonderings about coincidences to be fueled that book might give you some nice ideas about them.

Time to Clarify, alrighty lets start here

(this part made me laugh)

Now to clarify, first i wanted to thank you for responding to this useless topic that i thought was intriguing, the reason why i wanted to thank you,b/c i know how much you dont like using the forum so thanks for taking the time to do so (Chat is the way). Now second, i really have no idea what fish balls are, i didnt think fish had balls, thats why i felt insulted. And this

I just posted that, to figure out WTH are Fish balls, other than that i was intrested about your story. I hope this clears everything up :smile:

.

I am intrested in that, do you have any links of a website or anything, or is it just a book? :eh:

okay hehe… I have really no idea what it’s called over there, neither not sure if you have it at all. No, its not the balls of a fish… It’s basicly same as meat balls but made of different types of fish which is made into some sort of ball :wink:

sorry for loosing my temper a bit there :bored:

I never knew they had something like that, is it good? :eh: Other than that, you dont need to be sorry, i wasnt bothered by anything, either than that there just words.

So lately the coincidences have stopped, nothing as odd as last month :wink:

:eh: Ihave no idea what happened :grrr: :scream: Can A mod help, please :confused:

:sad:

Here’s a pretty good set of coincidences for ya.

Every day this week, I’ve been playing a little game with myself when I get into work in the morning. I open Outlook, and I try to guess how many emails I got since I left the day before.

On Monday, I casually said to myself “Probably 21”. Sure enough, up came the status bar with the text “Receiving message 1 of 21”.

On Tuesday, not thinking twice about my luck on Monday, I said to myself “12”. Again, just then, I got 12 emails. This continued yesterday when I guessed correctly (12 again), and this morning when I guessed 6.

If it happens again tomorrow, it’s going to be one hell of a coincidence. :tongue:

Has anyone ever played a guessing game of ‘Who’s going to get picked next?’ in school.Well once I was sitting next to someone who just said for no apparent reason,"Either you or me is going to be picked next.I hope it’s you,"then I said,"I bet it’s you,"He got picked.Not bad,huh?

After that, I said,"Gage is going to be picked next,"and then he was called on.I think I called out another name,but I missed the third person by one seat,the guy next to me said,“Okay,stop it.Anyways the teacher will answer this question,”

She did.

I’ve had these “coincidences” lots of times. Why, just two days ago I was thinking about the word “Understudy”. I thought about a comic strip I’d seen it in, and for some reason I just kept thinking about it. Later that day, I popped in a VHS to watch a show and one of the very first words that was said was “understudy”.

Another time, I was in our basement and happened to glance over at our book, “The Perfect Storm”. I went upstairs, turned on the TV and within seconds I saw the first preview of The Perfect Storm movie I’d ever seen.

Finally (although I’ve had lots more occurrences), I had a dream that I was taking one of my dogs on a walk in our neighberhood, wearing roller blades, and there was a rabid black snake jumping all around us, going absolutely crazy. Later that week, I was taking one of our dogs on a walk with roller blades on in our neighberhood, when I saw a big black snake lying in the middle of the road. It was alive, but it wasn’t going crazy. Just laying there. I didn’t notice the connection until a few days later. While what happened in real life wasn’t exactly like the dream, you rarely see snakes around here. Especially big ones in the middle of the road.

The old movie you were thinking about is on TV all of a sudden.

Explanation: You had heard it was going to be on but not counsiously paid attention to it. or… You always think of the same movie and sooner or later it will be on :smile:

The one with the dreams that happens in reality is more difficult to explain. Happens to me to once in a while (like this dream where i met this girl on the subway, and 2 years later it happened the same way more or less…) I don’t know maybe it’s just a matter of the number of dreams you have about things you do often and probability. Or perhaps you remember certain dreams and make them happen in reality without really meaning to.

Coincidences always seem amazing because we don’t keep track of everything that doesn’t become one. I mean, you could have thousands of dreams each year, and only a few will actually take place in real life. It might seem like you’ve been blessed with powers beyond our comprehension, but really, it’s just a coincidence. In fact, if you didn’t have at least a few of these coincidental dreams, then you’d be deep in the minority – or you simply don’t ever dream of realistic events that could happen in waking life.

Good Point, but most cases more than normal seem to happen. I figured it was just, myself getting lost in my own predictions, like what was said before, you see something that happens in your life, and the way you react to it, is gonna be the same reaction when the same idea hits. Now when this occurs, dreams or reality sets these stages of thinking, at the time you realize your thinking the same thing you thought once before in your life, that sends examples or dreams that had exist, and thats why its called a coincident. It happens more than it should, but i guess noticing this kind of thing in life keeps me more sharper i guess :bored:

Has anyone ever predicted that the phone was going to ring, and it did? Thats happened to me a few times and it freaks me out now :eek:

Our phone never rings. I’m on the internet too much for that to happen. :grin:
