Supernatural? Or coincidence?
Imagine you are sitting somewhere during the day, perhaps in the office or at home on the computer, and a song enters your head - one you haven't heard in quite a while. You mentally take a note of the song and the fact that you haven't heard it in a while.
Later that night you are having a cup of tea watching television when an advertisment comes on and what do you know? That song you hadn't heard in ages is playing in the background. Even more conincidental a scenario involves someone putting the radio on only to find the same song playing on a certain station.
Other occurences involve the sudden remembrance of a friend that perhaps you hadn't seen in quite a while, only to find them telephoning you later that same day. Or maybe you have dreamt of a certain place only to discover yourself visiting that same place in real life.
Now, my question is, what do you make of all this? The skeptics of the crowd will contest that it is merely coincidental and not to be dwelled upon - that of the sheer amount of thoughts entering your head each day it can hardly be surprising that we find a few matches between these and what happens in the real world.
Then there are the people who believe they are actually premonitions of the future - that somehow you are able to receive some form of telepathical transmission concerning places you are about to visit. Some people will even go so far as to say that dreams fortell the future, and that is their main purpose.
If anyone has any of their own stories to add then please feel free to tell them and let me know what your stance is on this rather peculiar phenomenon.
