I had a very similar experience where I was driving in my car, on my way to work, and i thought about calling in sick if i hit a deer. Sure enough I hit a deer and had to call in unable to get to work. Weird shit I'm telling you. Its too random to be self-fulfilling prophecy. Maybe theres some sort of destiny on another level our brains can't comprehend, but when we sleep we can occasionally tap into this. Cause i was almost falling asleep at the wheel when i had that inital thought.

Yeah, I've never had something that extreme, but I can't tell you how many times I listen to a song that I really like, but have never heard before, and then the next day, hearing it on my friends radio or something. ( i don't listen to the radio) It's weird, and honestly, I'm at the point where I don't really think of it as coincidence as someone is just fucking with me.

Man I have 2 crazy ones and a bunch of smaller things:
1. Believe it or not I had the same motorcycle thing happen with my dad (mid-life crisis biker - sport tour). Not a major wreck but he gauged his foot pretty bad after bailing; two days after I had a bad feeling. He had been riding for well over a two years when a had a sudden feeling of something happening to him on his bike (never was worried before and had no reason to worry then. just out of the blue).
2. Had a dream I slept with a floormate in rez. She told me the next day she dreamt she slept with me. I didn't admit it than (former pussy) but from the details she told it was identical to my dream. Never had a dream about her (in that way) previous of after. No, we weren't drunk. No, we weren't flirting recently to it. Nothing had changed from are usual friendship.
Smaller things:
Street lights go out around me with freakish frequency. Without fail it's when I'm feeling emotionally/energetically charged (a bit manic-ish). Not one or two that go off when I walk by. Like out of maybe 30 lamps on the street 10-20 normally. They go off when I walk under and come back on once I'm a few yards away. It's not a sensor/light reflecting off me thing, because my friends have commented on how it's with me specifically this happens. I don't wear anything especially bright (browns blues n blacks).
On more than a few occasions I have sleep-talked. Up at the cottage with my brother (maybe not that weird), but also I was a camp counsellor for a bit and woke up more than a few times engaged in conversation with the co-counsellor only to have the topic o our discussion fleet from my memory (even while I was still talking/coming too).
**I don't think I'm special or feel good about any of these things (in fact it creeps me out). I just noticed it seems to be me in particular who experiences these things in my group of friends.

Synchonicity. It's one of those things that defies scientific explanation. And it's something that everyone experiences. I actually have had things of this nature happening to me on a regular basis for the past few months. Just the other day I watched that movie "The Clash of the Titans" for the first time (it was horrible lol), and after watching it, I turned on Metalocalypse and within the first 30 seconds, one of the characters made reference to The Clash of the Titans. Of course, that's pretty small compared to the dream of the OP, but it's so strange to me that this stuff happens ALL THE TIME to EVERYONE, and we have absolutely no idea of what it is. Some people can easily call it coincidence and deny that there's anything behind it, because science cannot explain things like this. But to me, it says there's a deeper level of reality than we are perceiving. If it were only my one instance of 'the clash of the titans', sure, I could write it off like anyone else. But no, this stuff is constantly happening. You know it as well as I do. When you and your friends are like "whoa, that was crazy"...... after you've said it so many times, it's hard to just deny any meaning behind it. There surely must be something to be learned of synchronicity.

To show how often these things happen, I was in another thread an hour ago and someone had posted that song "Walk Like A Man", and just a minute ago my girlfriend started singing it. I've heard that song or a reference to that song twice in the past few years, and both times were within an hour of each other.
To the above post, something really crazy happened to me and some friends about a month ago... we were watching that dvd thing "The Secret", and there's a part in the movie where someone pulls a chain on a lamp, to turn the light off, and as soon as that happened, all the electricity in the house cut off for a second. It was fucking insane. I was so confused, and then when we all realized what just happened of course we all started flipping out.

I have totally had the light thing happen too. Only it was this one street light on a corner on the way to my house. Several of my friends said it never went off when they drove past it alone, but whenever I was with them it went off almost every single time once I would get close to it, and then once I got about the same distance away it would turn back on.
Something a little more recent that made me go whoa:
On the way to a festival last month we were driving through a fairly backwoods type area and I was stoned pretty good, and getting myself psyched up to indulge in some sacred san pedro. It was a pretty dark night and we were cruising along and I had the sudden impulse that we might hit a deer. When I had this impulse I saw a buck superimposed on my vision on the left side of the road. Like 30 seconds to a minute later we pass a buck, on the left side of the road, standing in the exact same position and location relative to the road as I had saw superimposed on my vision.
Occurrences like these are undeniable, and as you can see from this thread linkage, I've had the mushroom tell me that there is no coincidence.

I've foudn myself in situations I'v had dreams about too many times to pass it off as a mere coincidence. I think I might just be sensitive to time shifts ro some shit, which I guess I got from my dad.
He has this weird ability to know when someone he hasn't talked to in ages is going to call on a given day. He says he just gets like a thought about them, and then later they always call.
He's told me some pretty crazy stories where he's had some interesting precognitive moments. I think the one I like best is the story of a car accident he was in.
Basically he pulled up to a light, sat there for a minute or so watching it, had this intense feelign of impending doom at which point he said to himself "I'm about to get hit." and then BAM. Rear-ended out of nowhere.
I'd be here all night if I tried to explain to you guys how I perceive time working. Either way, I don't really believe in coincidence anymore either.

This street light thing happens to me aswell. It used to happen to my friend a lot, but I thought it was just bullshit. Then he started pointing it out to me and it seemed that whenever I was with him street lights would go off. After a while It started happening to me when I was all by myself. The power seems to spread. I just need to train so I can do it on command.

"The Secret" dvd thing is crazy (though the secret is jut a lo o BS to profit a few you prey on the gullible. I've been sitting here for a week wishing I'd have some money or green. but th cosmos don't want to comply.
As for the street light business Orbus: Does it happen abnormally frequently. I mean given enough lights in a city the chances are pretty good a few of them will go off when you walk by and you are just sensitive to it happening now. Or is it a significantly high percent of lights that go out (>%50).
You also reminded me about this thing I had when I was younger (way pre-9/11) where without fail I would always somehow end up looking at a clock when it was 9:11 (am and pm). My Dad said it just happened a few times and I was subconsciously looking for it. But we were driving (I dont wear a watch ever) and some papers were blocking his dash. I told him to move them... bam 9:11. Really creepy and annoying after awhile. It still happens from time to time but now I actively avoid looking at clocks when its around 9.

I had a dream my dad was injured in a tractor accident, the next day I remembered my dream and felt a bit worried about it, then later that day I received an email from my mum saying that my dad had damaged the tractor pulling down a tree. It was a little strange. Every now and then I experience Deja Vu, I can vaguely recall the exact situation I am in but I am unable to think of where the familiarity stems from... I think it is probably just my mind fucking with me.

ezkeil, the secret does work. You have to have complete faith in it, and if your faith is just false, then it wont work because you know its false.
It takes a while, but once things start popping up it gets stronger and stronger. Check out a book called "the master key system"

My mom can't wear a watch, because within a day of wearing it it will stop functioning. Since she was born, she has never been able to wear one. I've lived in 3 different places with her, and in every one the electricity is totally screwed up - light bulbs lasting a week, microwaves cutting on when no one's around, etc. I'd like to know what that is all about.

I am not saying its impossible. But honestly, I think fate is bullshit. Not having control over anything you do, or anything that happens...its bullshit. Maybe your psychic and you had a vision in one of your dreams. Nothing has ever really happened like that to me. In my dreams, its just usually a bunch of shit randomly together, anything that is on my mind.

i honestly think we just have a ability to reason further then we can think or ever describe in our wildest trips. and then there's that certain feelin in the air sometimes, you dont think about it, but somewhere subconciously i think gears are turnin... just on dreams, the other day i threw my head down in class and by the time i was tuning out of reality i managed to see my shoes through the table. I was boderline asleep but this did wake me up as the carpet i saw matched the one below my feet. i knew what eveything looked like, yes ive been in the class alot, but think bout how detailed your dreams are and it makes you wonder(specially lucid, the feeling that you are concious and makin decisions) , objects in my dreams have more of a effect on me when i wake up cuz i think "that was in the exact spot that was in in my dream and i wouldnt kno were to tell you it was if you asked me before." just some weird day to day shit itll neva end
