Can anyone relate to this? Interesting Conversation..

Ok can anyone relate to this? I always think about things before they happen. Not like a psychic or anything just really weird stuff. Like for instance, I was in class and was just randomly thinking about pringles potatoe chips just because it was in my train of thought, and then a teacher came in and was joking around and brought up pringles. And it happens countless times in a day, and countless more if i try and notice it. Like i'll be thinking of a friend and i'll get a text from him. Or all the sudden be thinking of my manager while im at work and she'll pop around the corner. I can also guess what my friends say before they say it sometimes but I think that's just because I know them too well lol. Does this happen to you guys? I feel our brains are much more powerful and have so much more potential than we think. I also think string theory has something to do with it also but don't know much about it. I don't think i believe in psychics and am in no way claiming I am because I can't distinguish the thoughts that trigger it and the thoughts that just happen. I dunno its crazy and i can list loads more of examples of just random stupid coiendices but anyone have anything intelligent to say on the subject?

That happens to me sometimes, I think it happens to everyone on occasion. I mean the probability of your friend calling when you thinking of them is higher since they call you anyways.

Maybe you are psychic.-Fromage-

This happens to me too, but my situation is a little different. Sometimes I just wake up in the morning and have a random thought such as "I have a feeling my mom will need to use her car horn today". Then, that day in McDonalds, she honked at guy in the drive thru! It's really weird, but I seriously think I'm psychic sometimes.

Maybe you just know the people around you too well to predict what'll happen with them next. :/

Thats happened to me as well. Haven't seen someone in ages and all of a sudden they call when i'm thinking of them. You could attribute this to the theory that were all connected in some way.

The unconscious part of your mind is a powerful thing.

If you buy a certain car, saya Dodge Neon, suddenly you'll notice that those damn things are everywhere, and you didn't notice any of them before. it's not that there are more neons on the road, it's that you are more aware of them

if you hadn't been thinking of pringles, that would have been a regular conversation (1 of many you had that day).

if you hadn't been thinking of that friend, that would have been just another message. nothing special.

it's not foreseeing, it's just being more observent.

get up tomorrow and think about the color red. see how significant red things are all of a sudden. that color is EVERYWHERE!

I would say it's coincidence but I doubt that could happen that often.

Use your gift wisely sir.

I believe it could either be an act of God, or a coincidence. :P

I do this quite a lot, I always think its just coincidence, but maybe its something more... :o

[QUOTE="ramboturd72"][QUOTE="LastLaugh90"] I think we all have the ability, its just a matter of finding out how its works. I also recently picked up meditating, if anything can unlock it, its meditationLastLaugh90

Hmm...maybe I'll try that sometime when I'm bored one day.

I like the one where you see your manager at work - that **** is just too freaky :P

Thanks for putting me in my place :roll:

i do this actually. most common one for me is i think of a movie and i swear in the next day or two, it will be on tv or on at a friends house. it happens all the time. we should make a club

Try this experiment: Make a list of every friend or relation you have that has the ability to text you (They have your number and know you well enough to comfortably text you on a regular basis.) Every time you think about one of them; mark a tally next to their name. If, within the next hour, they text you, mark a star above that tally.

My prediction is that you will get a lot more tally marks than stars. The reason being that, the tally marks (thinking about your friends) is an insignificant act in your mind. While the stars, (Thinking about your friend, then receiving a text from them) seemssignificant. As a consequence, your mind dismisses the "misses" and only counts the "hits."

This is a form of Selection Bias. It is also how charlatans like John Edwards convince people that they are physic.

Yeah i know trust me I get that. But it happens far too often and on different occasions so i think its something bigger. You got it too man, just meditate on itLastLaugh90

Yea stuff like that ALWAYS happens I'm seriously freaked out by all my coincidences

1-I read somewhere that everytime that we try to prove that something is right or some theory or whatever, it always happens the other way(or viceversa, we try to prove something is wrong and its right).

2-What happens to me is that sometimes I see something, and I remember it from somwhere but I don't recall where or when I saw it. As this might sound very confusing here's an example: one time I was walking out of school and I saw 2 friends playing soccer and it's like I saw that a minute ago, somehow like deja vu.

Have you tried counting how many times you think about something and it doesn't happen within a certain time period?

I think that would elucidate any errors in your data collection method.

Either that, or you're just psychic. :shock:

YES! it's so wierd it happens to me all the time.

Stuff like that happens to me all the time. I feel like someone is about to text me all (Sometimes a random person that I haven't talked to in weeks), and then they do. Also, I used to wake up exactly one minute before my alarm would go off. Also, I put something in the microwave all the time, walk into the other room, and walk back in, and it will beep right when I walk back in.

It happens a lot, but not everytime. I don't believe in phyics or anything though.
