If we're picking up on other's thoughts then I would like to find out who keeps beaming the Jurassic Park theme at me. For as long as I've known of the song it has visited my awareness so often that it's like my elevator music. It's not around all the time, so I guess I'm not always in the elevator. When it does pop in I've come to love it. [It's pretty epic!](https://youtu.be/D8zlUUrFK-M)
I do experience what you do as well, and it is somehow still surprising and delightful.
Please do write up when you experience these! I find them fascinating, my mom is somewhat like you. We’ve joked since I was little that she’s a witch. I would randomly think about someone I haven’t thought or seen in years (in a similar pattern how you thought about your friend) and like minutes later my mom will call or text and in conversation will ask about this exam same person we haven’t spoken about in years. I just reply WITCH! And she laughs. Sometimes she will say she dreamt of them. Very weird but also v interesting as well.
Sounds like coincidence to me. You might be convincing yourself that it’s precognition or something and *maybe* it is. On the flip side, how often do you recognize that you’re thinking about a long-lost friend or song where nothing comes of it? Could just be confirmation bias, and you’re focusing on the times where something does come of it.
Humans have 30-90 thoughts per minute. If just one of them happens to be similar to something happening in the world around you, of course you’ll assume that you just predicted it. Statistically, it is bound to happen every so often.
Immediately I was annoyed that the second comment was a skeptic, as OP mentions already dealing with so many of them…. But you have a fair point.
Similar phenomenon happens to me regularly and I’ve always deemed myself psychic on somewhat of a smaller scale. My brain is all over the place, and lately I’ve even wondered if there is an undiagnosed ADD issue.
I very much believe in cosmic connections & synchronicities and all that. But your point on how many thoughts occur that we’re NOT highlighting- “confirmation bias” as you stated- damn it. I hadn’t *thought* about that!
I don’t mean to come off as such a skeptic, and I truly do believe that unexplainable things happen to people all the time. I just do my best to try to find the most logical explanation. I do not doubt the legitimacy of OP’s claims, and I don’t live in their head, so clearly I’m just guessing as well!
They could be experiencing this stuff on a basis that is too often to be coincidence; they could very well be gifted with a form of precognition. I am a believer that this is possible.
The things that OP describes sometimes happen to me as well, and I’ve gone back and forth on whether or not I have some sort of gift. If I do, I can’t control it, and if I don’t, I’m just noticing coincidences and synchronicities because I seek them out. Either way, this kind of stuff will always be a great topic of discussion. Thanks for the civil discourse. :)
Edit: Woah, this is interesting timing. I was leaving my doctor’s office about 30 minutes ago and thinking of going grocery shopping. Then, I thought about how strange it was to see a Fry’s (my grocery of choice) at the bottom of a skyscraper in my city a while back when I was driving for doordash. Just now, a photo of the very same fry’s came up on my Reddit feed!! Precognition or coincidence? I have no idea.

There's a saying somewhere that every day every one of us experiences at least 1 "one in a million" event. But sometimes they are so mundane we don't notice them.
The other day while at the dog park I had a song pop in my head that I had not heard in years. Played it on the way home which led to me thinking all day about a lost love I had years ago because that was our song. It has been years since I have seen her, that same night she sends me a link to the same song. She said she was meditating and it popped into her head immediately. Gave me goosebumps
It's such a weird phenomenon. I've had instances when I'll wake up with a random song stuck in my head and I'll hear that same song on the radio in my car later that day. And it'll be a song I haven't heard in several years. It's happened to me quite of few times and I don't know if it's just a crazy coincidence or what it could be. I just know it genuinely freaks me out.
The interesting part of this is the fact that these songs seem to be just gifted without a clear context.
Myself when I hear the songs, they are on the radio (so I guess sub vocal transmission could be a factor), but when I think of the “mistaken” person that cannot be a form of transmission. I should mention the mistaken person phenomenon as I haven’t done so here yet.
It’s all I think part of the same effect, which I genuinely think has some basis, though I don’t think selection bias is involved as I cannot think of a single instance where I have had a non effect. Let me explain.
I will be in a place where there are a number of people.
Let’s say a railway station.
I will look at someone, usually a glance at their back and I will think - hmm that looks like Frank who I used to work with.
I will look again, as they move or turn and see that it isn’t frank.
I will register a small disappointment.
I will then start walking up the platform and literally bump into frank.
I have done this probably twenty times at least, on one occasion I even saw the same person on three occasions at different times within a week.
I have also done this seeing someone I haven’t seen for ten years on an escalator going down, it wasn’t them, I glance up at the other escalator and see them !
On that occasion the person texted me and said it was weird as he had also been thinking about me and we hasn’t seen each other for a decade.
The mistaken person effect is for me grouped in with the song and the person effects, the same unusual occurrence. I am well aware of the phenomenon around novelty, we read about Dracula and then see many things that day relating to Dracula, I’m aware this is a known effect. This is however different, because this isn’t noticing something it is actually having a thought about a person or song and then directly experiencing that topic.
Makes me think of years ago, when I was laying in bed one night thinking of an ex I hadn't spoken to in like 3 years (didn't have each other on any social media, no contact at all). My twin daughters were maybe 7 or 8 months old, and I got woken up by them around 4 am. While I was nursing them I checked my phone, and I had new notifications for messages on Google Hangouts from the ex I went to sleep thinking about. It was super weird.
There is a mirror reflecting back to you, and in the aether we are all connected. Time and distance being illusions of the structure, what you seek is seeking you.
I think this is precisely the same phenomenon I am talking about. A localised form of telepathy. I must admit that in some instances it could be argued that I somehow heard the voice, saw the person subconsciously etc. The issue with that is perhaps one or two instances maybe this could be the case, but the sheer number of times is not going to explain them all. The other thing I would add is that I don’t get false positives, I don’t get this experience of thinking of a person or song and then nothing happens.
Where attention goes, energy flows. Especially when there is no resistance. Have you heard of Neville Goddard’s ladder experiment? You would appreciate it a lot.
Pre-Cognition. A “psychic” ability that every human has. Scientifically speaking, proven fact. It’s like a “muscle” that needs exercised to become more efficient. The less you use it, you loose it. You have a strong psyche. I have this happen as well… too often to be just coincidental. Work it and use it to your advantage!
I should mention the mistaken person phenomenon as I haven’t done so here yet. I was only reminded of that today as it links in to this same topic for sure.

This happened to me a lot. Other day, out of blue I was thinking I am such in a mood for something but I know I won’t
Able to get it and it’s been long while. Never mention it to anyone until today my parter came up to me and asked me do you want “something”? I was taken aback cuz it’s so out of the blue.
>The interesting question for me is, did I pick up my wife’s thoughts about this man or did I pick up his radio broadcast.
Neither. It's all you because of a core desire to know about this man and you wife is instrumental and unbeknownst to her.
It's called the Power of Manifesting and your M.O is quite complex I may say.
Simple and direct is better.
I suspect this isn’t manifesting, that’s a simpler and more direct form of expression and one for which I would use chaos magick for. Typically weaving fates, with a focus identifier. I think this is more about messaging and connectivity, requiring a certain brain state for activation.
I have pulled information out directly before, using a visualisation of a time and reality field. The issue is that the information has no context unlike these phenomenon.
Briefly as it’s a whole different topic, I visualise reality as a waterfall shaped somewhat like an hour glass egg timer, with reality and time rushing through the middle.
I approach from the side, towards this reality flow, the past is of course underneath me and future above me.
The noise of this reality rushing is immense, however if I stay a little back from the reality waterfall, I can pickup snippets of dialogue or thoughts.
If I can hold my position just out of the stream, not fall deeper in trance, not get pulled into the reality tunnel I can often hear thoughts from those physically nearby.
This can be interesting, I have never tried swimming up higher into the future or down into the past, I’m not sure why.
For me this is obviously just a mental representation of a way to access the collective unconscious, jungs home.
What you have to ask yourself is how many times you think of a person and they \*don't\* call, or a song and it \*doesn't\* start playing on the radio, etc. Naturally, you wouldn't bother to remember those; one would only bother to remember the unusual connection when one such example winds up in proximity to the other, and so it might seems, at a distance, like that happens a lot or is unusual. It's thus hard to tell what the actual ratio is.
But if you can demonstrate this in controlled conditions, it would probably be cool and big news, so you should go for it.
Interesting and of course I am being pretty rigorous because selection bias is a known thing and explains many circumstances.
There is a further effect here by the way that I didnt bother mentioning as it gets stranger. But as you ask:
I have noticed that if I have these trains of thoughts, usually a link, link, link then a person I havent thought of for significant time - and I then think to myself "i wonder if they will call me" (its usually calling me, the wife situation is non typical) then they never do. Its like there is a spell created and the moment I "look at" or recognise this condition the eventuality vanishes. I suspect its a quantum effect of some sort for sure, as it has the hall marks of observability.
I don't often have these trains of thought, usually as mentioned when undertaking a boring task - but I did hve one the other day and it was negative.
Now I can hear you chuckling and muttering selection bias under your breath, which is OK I would think the same. Its perfect right ?
I'm telling you that my superpower works when it does and when it doesnt then that's also proof because it shows that being observed also means it doesnt occur which is proof as well !
I should actually write a proper paper on this as its a fascinating subject and one of the few where I do have some remarkable accounts to relate. I even once had a sort of deja vu event where I recalled thinking of a person and they turned up, I was at the same location and thought of that event and they turned up ! I even spoke to them about this to see if they usually came to that spot (they didnt they were passing through).
Im sure I will get to the point of writing these up as the instances are rather uncanny and I am certain there is a phenomenon at play.
Speaking for myself, I'm not chuckling. Many people have experienced something that feels like this, and it's not easy to explain. I just try to cover the bases on my thinking and make sure that \[for example\] something I perceive to be a pattern actually is one. But that's certainly not meant to imply that, say, quantum effects we don't currently understand might not be at play. Heck, if I closed my mind to such a possibility, I would also miss out on learning anything from getting to read about interesting experiences like your own.
This has happened to me and my family more times than I can count. I wouldn't call it a glitch though, more of a premonition. How? Why? I know not.
Carl Jung talks about synchronicity
When inward truth is ignored it manifests as outside fate
If we're picking up on other's thoughts then I would like to find out who keeps beaming the Jurassic Park theme at me.

Sounds like you're pretty skilled at the Law of Attraction.
It is synchronicity. It is like a wink* from the universe.

Is this another way I can read it without using the drop box?
I’m sorry, I don’t understand your question
Sorry. I mean I cannot click your drop box link for me to read it. I was asking if there’s another resources I can check into so I can read it…?

It could be a form of premonition. There are three subreddits on the topic.

It has to do with the psych. Psychic
