Synchronicity from Last Week

I didn't take the time to post this last week. I was too busy with other things. Why don't I just come out and say it? OK, fine. The truth is, I was busy with life. No, I don't have better things to do.

In the morning of a day last week, I was reading an article on The Washington Post's website about a group of people who believe the government is controlling their minds. They think that the government has developed weapons that can send voices into their heads. That same day, I went to speak to someone down the hall. I looked on his desk. He was reading a book called The Seventh Sense.

Here is the article I was reading: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/01/10/AR2007011001399.html

Here is the book that was on P.'s desk: http://www.amazon.com/Seventh-Sense-Secrets-Viewing-Military/dp/0743462688/sr=8-1/qid=1172586510/ref=pd_bbs_1/105-4873471-5884416?ie=UTF8&s=books

Synchro-addicts

There are, it seems, synchro-addicts out there who are more addicted than I am when it comes to synchronicity. They obviously have too much time on their hands. Some people actually go about looking for synchronicity. I think that pretty much defeats the purpose. For me, synchronicity is enjoyable as an unexpected part of the day. They are meant to surprise and delight. Below are links to two blogs where people have ventured out with the purpose of looking for synchronicity. I think that in order to define their actions more appropriately, we'll call their efforts "synchronization" instead of "synchronicity". The reason for this, is that they play musical albums while movies are playing to get the lyrics to synch with what is happening in the movie. One of these blogs I mentioned in yesterday's post, but I'll link it here, again. Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" album synchs with "The Wizard of Oz" about 60 times. In the next blog, a young man turns Star Wars into a personal project. It appears he stopped the project, with Green Day's "American Idiot", synching up with Star Wars 35 times. I don't know if there others out there trying to synch albums with movies, but I at least want to give The Wizard of Oz a try with one of my favorite albums - The Dark Side of the Moon.

Synchronicities, Coincidences, 11:11, Serendipity

These are some links that I'm posting mostly for my own use. These are sites that I want to read in further detail at a later date. I'm drawn to synchronicity, patterns and 11:11. Although, for the life of me, no matter how hard I try to ignore them, they keep happening. I deny them. I lie and tell people stuff like this doesn't happen to me. Why do I lie? To keep them from thinking that I'm crazy. In fact, I've even labelled people as "schizophrenic" when they pay too much attention to things that the rest of the world would call normal events. I can't ignore them, and to be honest, the more I search the internet for related topics, the more I get confused. It's difficult being a closet case synchro-addict.

As if suffering from synchro-paranoia wasn't bad enough, I also have lately had an overwhelming sense of intelligence. Starting about two weeks ago, I've had intense insights pouring into my brain, as if suddenly I was charged to the maximum with new knowledge. I feel more intelligent than I've ever felt.

I can't keep calling others "schizophrenic". I can't keep denying it or ignoring it. If anything, I'll just have fun with it. In the meantime, I welcome all your stories of synchronicity and any information on sychnronicities that you may have for me. Not that this blog gets hundreds of hits a day. In fact, it's unlikely that I'll get five hits in two weeks. Not too many people know about this blog, and besides, there aren't that many posts here yet, at least, not enough posts to keep people interested. This is like a book, and a book requires character development. To you, I am a stranger. Who's interested in reading about a stranger? Hopefully, as time goes on, and I have posted more, you will be more interested in following along and just possibly, you will interact with me.

Dream Date February 21, 2007

I apologize for not posting anything intellectual, lately. All my mindless blabbering is done mostly on the newsgroups, now. Newsgroups present an opportunity to communicate better than blogs, I've noticed. You can have back-and-forth conversations, and many times they're thought-provoking. Rec.org.mensa is a pretty cool hang-out. Alt.psychology as well. As with most places on the net, you may run into trolls. The best thing to do is ignore them. Although, it seems promising because I haven't run into any trolls in the past few months.

On to the dream....

I'm chosen from my dream high-school to be the lead singer in a musical show we are doing. I have to go to a store in the school to buy t-shirts to give and/or sell to all the crew and public, I'm not sure if it's buying or selling, all I know is I am acquring the shirts. I have to "design" the shirt, and I create it such that it is like a red and white tie-dye. The red isn't a perfect red, maybe more like a shade of rose. I also pick out red lettering. The red of the letters clashes with the rose red color of the dye spots.

I also go to a store that sells blank cassette tapes, as I have to make copies of the music we're doing in the show. I converse with the store employee over which is the best brand and price.

Later I go to a store that sells books. It is a high-school book store, so all the titles are for that age group. One book that I remember seeing is called "Doves". It's a book I created in my dream, nothing that is really sold, at least to my knowledge. The book cover looks like a package of bath soaps, with white doves on the wrapper.

I sing out loud while asleep or partially asleep, because I remember hearing myself singing the words to Madonna's song "Vogue." "Vogue, you got to just, let your body move to the music... Vogue.... you got to just, let your body go with the flow..." Then I recall being fully awake and worried that I had awakened my husband. (I wake my husband up all the time from my nightly dream chatter.)

I have noticed that this past week my dream recall has been improving. I hope it continues. I want to take a look at Dr. Stephen LaBerge's Lucidy Institute web page.

Dream Date February 20, 2007

I am stricken yet again with another case of school-related dream anxiety. This time, it is the first day of school and I have not yet registered for classes. I tell a girl that I will be going to math class with her, even though I haven't yet registered, and that I will register afterwards, depending on if the class is full or not.

Some Synchronicity for Tuesday, February 20, 2007

This morning I received an email from a visitor to my blog. The woman's name is Margaret. Immediately after receiving that email, I received a spam mail from someone named MRS. MAGRET SALAM, the type of spam mail where they want me to assist them with some financial endeavor, with the promise that I'll receive plenty in return. As you can see, there is close resemblence between Margaret and Magret.

Some Movie Ratings

It is common practice that I watch two or three rented movies every weekend. Sometimes, say, once every few months, I'll even go to the theatre. I won't write a movie review, or even pretend to be a critic, but I will give them ratings, based on a four-star system, where one star is the worst type of movie, and four stars is the best. To get started, here are some movies I've seen recently:

The Departed - ** 1/2
Flags of Our Fathers - ** 3/4
Fly Boys - ***
Infamous - *** 1/4
Half Nelson - ** 1/2

First dream:

My father is having a birthday party for me. At the party, I recognize two girls from my real past - one is named Melanie, the other is named Minn, though in reality her name was Brynn. As you see, the two names sound alike.

After the party, I'm watching videos online that my party guests have sent me via email. In one, a woman is saying, "I hope you enjoy your gift." What gift? I did not receive any gifts at all at the party. I ask my father where my gifts are, and he explains that since my party was held some time before my real birthday, he was holding on to the gifts to give me on my birthday. I am a little upset, because this means that everyone is probably wondering why I didn't say "thank you for the gift" at my party.

In another video, two guys are skiing. They are very tall, and dressed in skin-tight red outfits. I remember taking special note in the dream of how the red contrasted with the white of the snow.

Some time later in the dream, I'm staying the night at my father's and stepmother's. In the bedroom, I'm removing some of the clothes hangers from a hook on the wall. One of the hangers is a very special type of hanger, used for a certain purpose. I accidently break it. I wonder whether I should hide the broken hanger in the garbage can, or tell my stepmother that I have broken her special hanger.

Second dream:

I am using a hand-held pencil sharpener to sharpen a pencil. In a little box that I carry around with me, I have several other sharpeners. Someone needs one close-by, and I give them one.

Later in the dream, I am running late for class. I am not even at the school. I fly in the air as fast as I can to get to school. I am not able to fly as high as I need to, so I run into a stone wall. But, with almost supernatural ease, I climb the stone wall.

It is quite common that I have dreams of running late for class, or even missing complete classes, or sometimes not being able to find the classroom. These are high-anxiety dreams for me. I always wake-up feeling relieved, however, that in reality I am finished with college and have received good grades.

Dream Date February 17, 2007

I was outside at a type of garden center or nursery, gazing at a small potted tree. I looked at the price tag. It said $32,xxx. I do not remember the last three numbers. All I know is the plant cost over $32,000! One of the attendants was walking by. I asked her if I could have a free cutting of the plant so that I could grow my own. She handed me a wrapped branch.

Further in the dream, I am walking on the grass at this garden center. Ahead of me on the grass is a large wooly caterpillar. After I walk past it, I turn around to look at it again. It now resembles a large dog with porcupine needles.
