Coincidences and Synchronicities

[82_28]

One of the reasons I even started this thread was because of one of the people mentioned in the OP. Well, I had this dream last night in which I was trying to get her and I to work but kept missing streets and was running out of time and were going to be late. I was freaking out and finally I woke up thinking it was real.

So I texted her this morning telling her of the dream. She texted back that she had a dream where she was trying to get away from work with a mutual friend of ours and she too could not find the streets in which to turn. Both on the same night and miles and miles distant from one another. Even over a year distant temporally. I haven't seen her in quite some time. But we both had essentially the same dream together without even knowing it. Crazy, I tell ya.

This may seem minor but I have been having a ton of synchronicities lately. For instance, there is a house in Culver City that is quite unique. I mean extremely unique. I had to take my son to get some blood tests done, and because of construction we had to park some distance away. When we parked and got out, I realized we were right in front of this crazy house. We were checking it out, and I realized that it had been divided up into apartments, or maybe always had been. Anyway, even though it's a house, you can apparently rent an apartment there if you are lucky.

So later that day I am on Facebook, and the girlfriend of a friend of mine, a woman who I am not even FB friends with, posted a picture OF THIS SAME HOUSE, saying "isn't this so incredibly cute". She just moved to LA and is looking for a place to live and somehow found out that this same house, had apartments.

And it's not like the Greystone mansion or anything, most people have never heard of this house.

Then yesterday on Instagram, I saw 2 pictures of white people walking donkeys. From two completely different people in completely different parts of the world. White people. Talking donkeys. On leashes.

Stuff like that has been happening to me nonstop for a few weeks now. I wish I knew how to capitalize on it. I did buy some lotto tickets, but to no reward.

Here's the house, known as the Hobbit House:

All I can say is that you are "attuned". That is strange. Everything is strange. You just have to be around to notice it.

Terrifying time loop: The man trapped in constant deja vu BBC news 24 January 2015

Scientists believe the extraordinary case of a 23-year-old British man with "constant deja vu" may have been triggered by anxiety. It is the first time such a link has been made. But what is deja vu - and do we really know what causes it?

Most of us know the feeling - the fleeting sensation that you have been somewhere or done something before, when common sense tells you that is not possible.

I wonder if that guy spends much time at the casino or betting establishments.

My gf told me this weekend about deja vus she's been getting lately. She says that she gets this sort of "vision" that whatever is happening at that moment has already happened many many times, accompanied by a rather sinking feeling that nothing can be changed.

I get those and they can go on for long periods of time (for Deja Vu's anyway), like minutes and minutes.

I've also had them where I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that I have dreamed what is happening. Like I remember the dream quite clearly and I know what is going to happen next, and after that, etc.

Freaky as shit.

Then there's this:

'Groundhog Day' student trapped in bizarre déjà vu time loop for 8 years

A 23-year-old British man has become the victim one of the strangest cases of déjà vu ever recorded in medical history



By Sarah Knapton, Science Editor10:21AM GMT 20 Jan 2015

A student was forced to drop out of university after a bizarre case of chronic déjà vu left him unable to lead a normal life.

The 23-year-old even stopped watching TV, listening to the radio, or reading newspapers or magazines because he believed he had seen it all before.
He told doctors that he was "trapped in a time loop" and said he felt as if he was reliving the past moment by moment.

Details of the case have been revealed in a report published by the Journal of Medical Case Reports. Doctors are baffled because the man does not suffer from any of the neurological conditions usually seen in people who normally suffer frequently from déjà vu - which is French for "already seen".

It is thought that panic attacks may have triggered the phenomenon. The condition may also have been exacerbated by LSD.

Report author Dr Christine Wells, a psychology expert from Sheffield Hallam University, said it could be the first case of a person experiencing persistent déjà vu stemming from anxiety.

Although most people experience occasional feelings of déjà vu, more frequent and intense forms are usually only seen in people who have seizures in the temporal lobe, a condition called temporal lobe epilepsy. However brain scans showed no sign of seizures or neurological conditons. The man also underwent a series of psychological tests to check his memory which failed to show any major issues either. The student, who has not been named, first complained of symptoms of déjà vu early 2007, shortly after starting university. He had a history of feeling anxious, particularly a fear of germs, which led him to wash his hands very frequently and to shower two to three times per day. But his anxiety worsened when he began university. Anxiety and low mood led him to take a break from his studies, and he then began experiencing déjà vu.
The early episodes sometimes lasted only for minutes, but other attacks could be extremely prolonged, the case study reveals. For example, while on holiday in a destination that he had previously visited he reported feeling as though he had become 'trapped in a time loop'. He reported finding these experiences very frightening. He returned to university in 2007 and he described the déjà vu episodes as becoming more intense.
In 2008, he was referred to specialists for neurological examination. Tests for epilepsy were normal and he was treated with a range of medications. He was assessed again in 2010, by which time his persistent déjà vu caused him to avoid watching television and listening to the radio, as well as reading papers and magazines, as he felt he had already "encountered the content before". "Rather than simply the unsettling feelings of familiarity which are normally associated with déjà vu, our subject complained that it felt like he was actually retrieving previous experiences from memory, not just finding them familiar," said Dr Wells.

About 10 sightings of 11:11 in the last 2 weeks, four were when i was on the way to or waiting for 'supplies' to purchase - which kinda freaked me out as i didn't know if it was a warning that baton weilding men were going to gatecrash the party or if things were going to of exceptional quality...as it turned out it was pretty good.

....no wonder I started getting deja vu reading that...

Freaky as shit.

A question: are there any similarities or patterns in the instances where you get these experiences? For example, I've noticed that my gf seems to have these experiences when she's in some state of heightened emotion.

I've always accumulated books so have ended up selling quite a few on Amazon when its worthwhile....

...what's weird is my sales seem to cluster in twos....what keeps happening is that I can go several months without a sale but as soon as I sell one then I get another order within the next few days .....its just happened again - with extra weirdness as I sold a book by a particular author that I posted last Wednesday - then this morning a second sale arrived for 2 other books by the same author - which I assumed would be the same person coming back for more stock but was a totally different customer...

This is minor, yet not. When I lived in Santa Monica, almost every time I would leave the house, I would see things in 2's. If something caught my attention, I would see it again somewhere else. One time, a grey-haired guy with a pony tail ran across the street in front of me. A few blocks later another grey-haired guy with a pony tail ran across the street in front of me.

More than I can count.

I remember one time a hot blond woman looking in her purse for change for the parking meter dropped something and bent over. A few blocks later, same thing. Different hot blond woman.

It's like the Matrix or something.

Today I was down there. I saw a little pug-like looking dog, probably a Boston Terrier mix, taking a shit on the sidewalk, right in the driveway into a parking garage for some business. The owner standing there with a leash, watching the turds fall.

A couple of blocks later, an identical-looking dog, taking a shit on the sidewalk, right in the driveway into a gas station. Same size dog, same kind of dog, same size poop, everything.

Happens ALL THE TIME THERE.

So weird.
