I’m not going to go on about psychic phenomena, I’m talking about real things that have happened to you. I’ll start small. Example: You ever woke up with a song in your head and then when you turn on the radio in your car on the way to work the song you woke up to in your head plays on the radio? I have. What do you think is the reason for that?
When we used to have alpha-numeric pagers at my job, sometimes I'd get a sense that I was about to get a page and, more often than not, I'd get one within a few minutes.
I once thought my automobile warranty might run out and then I got a call from some people who wanted to extend it. It was like the lord answering my prayers.
Sometimes at work I’ll think of a dish that I haven’t made in a while and sure enough I get an order for that dish. All I had to do was just think about it.
The pager thing ended when we quit using them. It's not like I get a feeling that I'm going to get a text or phone call now, but it happened all the time with those old pagers.
Sometimes I’ll think of someone who I haven’t heard from in a while and then get a text or phone call from them. Right before my stepfather died I was thinking I should call him. He wasn’t in bad health as far as I knew at the time. When my mom was about to die, I fucking knew it, she had recovered from cancer in the past, but the last time, I knew she wasn’t going to make it. I don’t know, I get these things all of the time and it’s weird, I don’t like it.
Well, I don't believe any of these things actually mean anything -- we're wired to look for patterns, and given the hundreds of things that happen in everyday life, some of them are bound to correlate -- but I was just doing 4-letter Wordles on a knockoff site while watching TOS episodes in the background, and "Axis" was just the answer twice. The episode is "Patterns of Force." (This particular Wordle knockoff site serves up uncommon words multiple times frequently enough that I'd like to know what seed it uses for "randomizing.")
Is it what some call intution, a hunch, or coincidence. I was getting dressed for work and wanted to put a skirt on, but I had a thought that I should wear jeans and sturdy shoes, so I comprimised on another pair of pants and some hiking type sandles, sure enough I got in to work and got sent out to the field instead. I was sure glad to not be in a skirt. How about the times I have a hunch and go a different way, or go into a store and see someone I know, or see something cool.
