What a coincidence!!!

ive noticed a lot of things like this, im starting to wonder if im dead or somehting or close to death in some way that thoughts are some how comming true in a way...
my neighbour plays bob marley quite a bit ever since he moved in, its starting to bug me but its better than the cure, which i like too but he only palys their greatest hits (shits) album and ive been enjoying their albums the last few months, i feel like putting some on cd and letting him know they made a lot of other great songs that aren't on the gh cd!
anyway to the point
he's had his playlist on a cd im guessing as a few other tracks always come on straight after the ususal bob tunes, in the 4-5 years of hearing this playlist ive never heard 3 little birds, you know lets get together and feeel alright... i was thinking only just recently few days or so i have that track and not played it in ages since he's been here at least and its pretty much my favorite bob track, so i thought of playing it some time mainly to hear it my self but knowing he'd think something about it do doubt.
so the coincidence is i just heard this play after the usual tunes....fucking weird!
if only i could harness this coincidence thing into getting the girlfirend in dont have just appear out of thin air, that would be something!
here's another music related coincidence, i was making a playlist in wmp i ended up naming it " this is my jam" later that day or the day after i smelled hot jam like it was being made by one of my neighbours!!!! it was summer though and this year i smelled that smell again

happens to me all the time with pandora or itunes. sometimes even the radio. i'll just be like hmm i want to hear such and such song and than either the next or within 4 or 5 it'll come on.
Once I didn't hear harvest moon for about a year. got it stuck in my head. so i learned it on the guitar. later that day i heard it on the radio. that song is never on the radio

that's pretty odd man, i guess looking at it "logically" it could of been on the radio plenty, you just weren't listening at the time...

I don't think I've ever heard Harvest Moon on the radio, how strange. I played it at my moms funeral though. I was overcome and started crying halfway through, but pulled myself together and finished strong.

Happens to me a lot too but it reminds me of how plausible it is to beat statistical probabilities which is often nice.
The exact same thing has happened on the radio, itunes, tv etc. People say it's easier and more likely that you notice a coincidence like this because you've been thinking about it recently.
e.g. if you are thinking about the colour red it's likely you will pay more attention to things you see that are red.
That doesn't mean it isn't a coincidence these things happen but it can be speculated the chances of occurrence increase with a shifting level of awareness.

That's what's up. This happens to me alot too. I usually listen to the same radio station on my way to work and think about a song that hardly comes on and it'll come on on my ride to work and then right after I get off.
Or I'll be feeling a certain mood and a song would start playing that would perfectly describe. Regardless if it's a shit song.

Synchronicity is also how miracles work. People convince themselves of ideas with the meaning they have made of a coincidence.
Once I understood that we've won the lottery of the universe and got our lives in return, as far as I was concerned the only real meaning of life was synchronicity.
It helped me to accept the reality of life in all of its unforgiving and awe inspiring chance.

The older we get, the less our brain thinks it knows what is going on. In youth we have this preconceived notion of life. As we get older we face trauma, and fear, sorrow, and loss.....we want so badly for an explanation once we come out of our ignorance cocoon, but the brain is deteriorating, it is decaying in a skull. We can't logically stand strong and confident unless we are faking it. It's why older people turn to religion.....nothing fucking makes sense anymore....but I think it's because the brain is trying so hard to just survive...the body is falling, and the brain is as well.....it is looking for a rope to hang onto.
Petty coincidences like that can be observed daily....it's like the number 23. We really are in control of our own psychosis......or we could just forget that we don't know....
If any of that made sense.

Yea I agree it's just our observations with things like these. But I feel like it's still such a simple and hopeful message nonetheless.
As a child, all I knew was trauma, fear, and sorrow.. It wasn't until I was an adult that I fully realized the loss of what I had for only a few years that I would never remember.
So it's very important for me to appreciate these small things that brings me simplistic joy of just being here.

It has begun to be terror for me. I can't grasp why. Everything links up to negative. satanic. horrid. Just awful awful things.
I tell myself that's "the fear". I push through. Never once has any of my fears come true, none of paranoia has proved truth, nothing has ever come of worrying. All the things I link together preparing for doom end up in yolk on my face.
Facebook doesn't help.

BPD(classic/quiet) and a linked fear of abandonment could help you grasp why. A lot of people suffer from BPD without knowing it. The symptoms are pretty obvious once you've read them and it's worth ticking off on any mental health list if you want to grasp 'why' you have those emotional behaviors.

I've come to terms with it. I did way way too much too fast. Endless amounts of information got put in my face at such a rapid time....plus the lack of sleep through out the years. My brain chemistry is off. I suffer from PTSD so a lot of things trigger the memories....numbers, songs, logos....but thats what they are supposed to do. It keeps you guessing, and not living.
Best thing to do is let go of all fear, and LAUGH. Being raised catholic makes it harder, but I know now to look through all the bullshit and remember who I am. Fucking awesome.

I've found that practicing being mindful and aware of your individual emotions helps increase your ability to respond the way you want to when they are triggered.
With PTSD you are reacting to your triggers, with mindfulness and emotional self awareness you can respond to the triggers and make a choice on what your mind does.
I like to say it's like swallowing a bitter bill when faced with a trigger and accepting how you felt about it.

your replies have been helpful and insightful thanks 
i had 2 fairly strong coincidence just last night, i wont go into details and yes facebook doesn't help! i had a situation where i saw a comment and it made me assume something as it was farily blatent, i could be wrong but i don't speak to that friend and the other frined it linked with and having a guilty complex about somethign i did years ago whcih this friend knew about makes it seem like head games have been played on me for a long time now.
i had looked a bpd a while ago i think i have a few sypmtoms if i remember, i know i have an over active imagination which makes some coincideces seem like big plots thought out by others to some how drive me mad (because of the guilt) which is starting to work, i spend all my time alone and getting out has been hard with social anxiety so these ideas have made things worse in some ways and interesting in others keeping me thinking on things but distracted for getting on, i'd rather just dissmiss them in future, to live.
some of the negative stuff ive started to think is that im dead as ive mentioned or perhaps something else like on some drug being experimented on and this reality isn't real at all, like im in a room somewhere and things are being shown to me and thew make their way into my reality...or if im saying things to them which to me are thoughts herethen they come back as coincidences, or it's downsyndrome.
some of this stuff fucked up what was my first relationship experience, even she said near the end of it all that it will make things hard for me with a future partner if i cant sort myself out.

Look into "Cotards Syndrome"
You may have kidney stones.

If after strong introspection you discover a deeply buried feeling of emptiness, you may not have embraced a sense of individuality or self respect.
Are you religious?

Cotards syndrome is a kidney disorder in which your kidneys are malfunctioning so badly that you start to get delusional. A lot of people experience the feeling of being dead, and sometimes even stop eating and starve themselves.

While kidney disorders are real they are far less likely to be present over something like BPD or PTSD. Millions of people around the world live with many of these because they don't yet recognise or understand their condition and what behaviors it is causing them to portray.
Or the question could be, do you ever feel like on of your parents have/has abandoned you?
