I was wondering if anyone has experienced what I have almost everyday.

I experience little bits of coincidences, as an example: I'll be reading the newspaper and right at the moment I'm reading a particular word, I over-hear someone around me say that exact same word. Or another example would be, I'm driving around and I read a store sign and I hear the radio mention that exact word that I just read.

I don't know how else to describe this. Since this has happened to me since I was younger, only now I've been becoming more aware of this and started to write down every instance that it happens.

I'm looking forward for anyone's feedback.

Thanks

things like that have happened to me on more than one occasion within the past couple of months.

2 days ago, I'm running in a park, listening to music on my ipod...after my run, I walk to my car, take off my ipod, start the car, and the radio's continuing the song I was listening to...right at the spot when I took off my earphones.

I've been doing more research and found that many people experience this. The definition is listed below.

Synchronicity is the experience of two or more events which occur in a meaningful manner, but which are causally un-related. In order to be synchronous, the events must be related to one another conceptually, and the chance that they would occur together by random chance must be very small.

What does this mean for someone like me? What should I do about it, if anything? Is there a way to be used in tests and somehow get paid for being a study specimen?

You are a special person. This happens to gifted and "extra-ordinary" people. Do not be alarmed though, the other people like you have experienced the same things.

I think it is odd and interesting but really what is it worth??? For awhile I was finding dimes...creepy amount of dimes like I would get change back it would be all dimes or put money in a machine instead of getting back 2 quaters or 4 dimes and 2 nickles I would get back 5 dimes. What was it worth????? I just marked it up to another of lifes puzzles

Years ago I read a book titled The Tao of Psychology: Synchronicity and Self. In it, the author, Jean Shinoda Bolen, talks about [Carl] Jung who "believed that all people and all animate and inanimate objects are linked through a collective unconscious. Synchronicity, [Jung] said, was a connecting principle that manifests through 'meaningful coincidences.' Bolen proposes that synchronicity is the Tao of psychology; it relates the individual to the totality."
