From my grand experience, you are on the threshold of paranoia, first its the coincidences, and then they start talking to you - I recommend to scramble your thoughts and speak in Japanese.

I experience synchronicity daily, mostly with mentioning movies and they come on....everytime I mention the movie 'Overboard' its on TNT that night its happened to me the last 5 times its been on......lol

I also dreamed someone knocked on my door, only to wake up to the same person knocking on my door..I know it sounds crazy but it is almost like you can think outcomes in creation.....but it can't be delberate it seems synchronicity only works when the thoughts are random.....and not preplanned...

This last year..I have noticed that almost daily I will encounter a coincidence...almost always small things...usually. ...such as typically...Ill be talking about something and someone on the TV will use the same obscure word within seconds of me saying it...
I have had a few big coincidences in life...good and bad ones...but not consistently like this..where its small things almost daily.
Is it just me? No...other family members have noticed the same thing...as its also happening with them.
So is it just us? Or has anyone else noticed the frequency of coincides jumped up in the last 6+ months. Seriously Im interested to find out.

Incidents are always happening at the same time (co-incidence)...there are those we attribute personal importance to, which may or may not be relevant to us...others are seemingly random and bizarre confluences of incidents that have no relevance...
'Noticing', coincidental events is more important than one would think...they offer juxtopositions that would otherwise not be present, and accountable...

OMG I was just thinking of a thread about synchronicity!

The Oz factor manifests itself in a myriad of ways.

Overboard...great movie...haha...if only some beautiful rich woman would land on my porch with amnesia. If you ever bump your head let me know.

Sounds like a coincidence to me.

But seriously -- I haven't experienced any uptick in synchronicity or any related concepts. Just the normal background level for me. I would be interested to see if anyone could rig up a proper study of how often these things happen, as opposed to how often we perceive them to happen -- it's a pretty well known phenom that we remember positive results in these cases (I woke up at 11:11 last night!) more often than negative results (I dunno, I think I woke up at 2:53?)

I only heard about the "The Oz factor" about 2 weeks ago....is that a coincidence? I mean seriously ive never heard of it before, until about 2 weeks ago.
I was researching time slips on the internet ...and apparently people who claim to have traveled in time...or to another dimension...describe a similar set of circumstances and sensations..eg..the normal environment they are in..seems to appear flat and unreal, before the "time slip" or before a UFO experience. Also there is a sudden sense of depression or low energy that comes over people, without explanation.
So apparently a UFO researcher coined the term "Oz factor" due to these circumstances that many people experience....as in the wizard of Oz...and it being a surreal other world.
I found this quite interesting as I have seen a quite large UFO...some years ago..and although I didn't feel a sense of depression or low energy...i didnt feel they way I though I would ...i felt unconcerned...and unexcited...and it felt like i wasn't in "normal reality"...but it was only when I came across this Oz factor concept, that it made more sense. as in, I felt detached from reality..as though I knew I was experiencing something quite strange and unusual but at the same time it was as though I expected it to happen...or something like that...by the way this UFO was witnessed by my brother at the same time and he also was totally unfazed, even though looking back this event should have made us both freak out.

I have really enjoyed this thread, immensly. I wanted to see what other posters input would be. I have so many coincidences in my life, that I should chart them.

For instance my husband (estranged) shares the same birthday as my mother.
His granddaughter shares the same birthday as my daughter.
He's a twin, I am a twin, and I gave birth to twins.

Being away from my husband, I go to stay for a while with my sister, who has an apartment number that was the same street number for a house I owned.

I am now in a happy relationship with a man who is a minister. His birthday is the same day as my first husband.

My first husband married a woman with the same last name as the guy I married. He lives in Illinois, I lived in Louisiana, and our spouses are in no way related. My first husband and I had been divorced for 23 years.

The list goes on and on.

Sometimes I don't feel as if I am having coincidences, but an outright slap in the face to wake up!

Just thinking further about that Oz factor concept. This links in with synchronicity, because Carl Jung pretty much had the idea that the unconscious mind was linked into a bigger network of consciousness...or perhaps God...if you want to use that term. Anyhow...perhaps these coincidences are as someone already mentioned in this thread... synchronizing with something bigger.
This would indicate that there is a way of tuning into that bigger consciousness. it seems that coincidences are events where we tune into accidentally, and unexpectedly...
It appears that the mind is tuning in and out of synchronicity...yet it happens without effort or direction.
In fact you couldn't guess the next random comment on TV or whatever if you tried your hardest.

Time is caving in on itself.

And what happens when that is happened?

happening to me a lot too! Like many of you, it's been like this for a long time for me, but recently it has been even more obvious. Here are some specific examples:

Generally speaking, it always happens when I am about to text/call someone and then they text/call me first as I'm typing on my phone.

And more specifically,just today, late afternoon I was about to check in with my friend who wasn't feeling so well last night (and I already felt bad because I hadn't asked earlier in the day) and at that exact moment, my boyfriend says to me "Why don't you find out how _______ is doing..."

I work at a bank, and just the other day a man who is a franchisee of a large business comes in to open up business accounts. While showing me what his business is all about, he flips to the page of the store-front and the address is 113.....which is the exact address at our bank.

My birthday is 10/14, and I cannot even begin to explain how many times I see that number. Just today while shopping for a new bed, (searching youtube for reviews) the first one we came upon was posted on 10/14.

Bizarre

continues....

And if time is only perception...perhaps its driven by our consciousnesses...because as Eisenstein described...time appears to slow down under certain emotional states....
So the passage of time...and the sands through the hour glass...and the ticking of the seconds of our lives...perhaps its there for our entertainment? to motivate us to make the most of our time..our lives...?

I mean what if this is the matrix...some kind of fully immersible video game, virtual reality...
And some of us play fully committed...even though there is no second or 10th free life to continue on...
Because it is a video game..of sorts.. These bodies are temporary and we all know that fact...but perhaps our consciousness is infinite...perhaps we chose to be here..and to make it more interesting perhaps we chose to forget that we chose to be here....thinking in that way...perhaps we also put in a secret cheat mode into this game also.
Im still looking for that cheat mode.

Im leaning to the idea that this is how it really is...and that coincidences are part of glitches in the system of what we know as reality. Coincidences or apparently random connections...are links that should not appear in what we believe to be reality. Most people discard coincidences...because accepting that they may point to a fundamental challenge to whats real...its to much of an earth shattering concept to handle...for most. People want this world to be real...with all its flaws...the material world is more reassuring to people these days than the idea that perhaps the real "reality" is far more interesting than this one. Where as in the old days...people longed to believe in heaven, as a place more real than this mortal coil...funny how times change,.

I have seen allot of coincidences latey, do you ever get the feeling of something good that is trying to happen and it cant break through due to the being of these coincedeces?
