I have a few further coincidences to report. They are nothing like so spectacular as the ones in the article about the green men, but even small synchronicities seem worth recording.
Red Dwarf
I was sitting on a bus recently thinking about the many outside errands I had planned for the day, when I suddenly remembered that this was the day that all of the episodes from one of the later series of the TV science fiction programme Red Dwarf were being shown.
I didn’t want to miss anything – I had seen this particular series only once before - so I decided to go straight home after visiting the first shop on my list and save the other tasks for another day.
Just as I made this decision, someone in the seat behind me started whistling the Red Dwarf theme song:
“It's cold outside
There's no kind of atmosphere
I'm all alone, more or less
Let me fly far away from here…”
I didn’t like to turn round and see what sort of person might have picked up and reacted to what I was thinking about, so now I will never know who it was who read my mind!
Reading and thinking in synch with the TV
I wish that I had made notes of the numerous occasions many years ago when I was reading or thinking about something only to hear the same word or phrase synchronously being spoken on the TV.
It happened so often that I came to think of it as normal.
It is still happening.
For the first time in many years, I started to think about someone I used to work with. He once made a ‘T’ sign with his hands and told me that it was a way to ask for time in baseball.
Just as I remembered this, someone on the TV made that same sign.
I was just reading “Open your eyes” in a book when I heard this expression on the TV.
I have started to record recent occurrences of this phenomenon. Any more really good ones will be reported on here.
