Support for those debilitated by anomalistic experiences like synchronicity/esp

Jay,

I have those symptoms you have. I’m schizoaffective, and I get those weird abnormal coincidences too, among a lot of other weird phenomena. I can’t tell if they’re real or I’m just out of touch with reality. The thing is, whenever the doctor increases my medication, the phenomena decrease. That could mean that a chemical imbalance is causing it or my brain is extra sensitive to reality. I don’t know which is true, but I tend to trust psychiatry.

I need to edit my original post but it doesn’t allow it. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks.

Reply to your own original post and edit it. I don’t see any other way to do it.

You are NOT mentally ill… your synchronicity‘s are truth experiences. It’s the universe speaking to you. You are awake, enlightened! Embrace it. I get them all the time. I’ll be thinking of something then suddenly a song comes on the radio coinciding with my thoughts then suddenly I’ll see a bill board that Synchronizes with the song on the radio and the thoughts in my head… And then immediately after the third synchronicity, I’m seeing a license plate, then the side of a semi truck has the same message that I’m hearing in the radio & that I see on a billboard… this happens to me all day every day. You need to start meditating and concentrating on your chakras to spin them. You need to read about astral projection, kundalini awakening and the sacred secretion. Then read the Emerald Tablets. I listen to YouTube audio books. Get rid of fear and doubt because it affects the law of attraction. Listen to Santos Bonacci explain the occult secrets of the as above, so below and as with in so with out… do not believe the professionals who debunk you experiences by calling you mentally ill … we are pure light energy beings. Entertaining cannot be created not destroyed… only transferred! So that means we’ve been here before but in a different bodily experience. Hindus believe in reincarnation so did the Ancient Egyptians … every song on the radio sings about astral projection. Believe in your own truth… it’s a feeling! Research the Nag Hammati Library and listen audio books on Gnosis and Hermetic teachings… start doing Vim Hoff berating techniques… you’re not alone, you’re part of the 1% of the population that’s waking up… good luck in your Enlightenment.

Hello to everybody.I don’t know if this topic is already actual.I am a OCD sufferer too. Jay, you are not alone in this trip through hell man. I have rare form of ocd which really bothers every aspect of my life. To the point - i get coincidences too and thats tne of the worst OCD brain weapon, that can the sufferer face. I am too a person of logic and rationality. When those things happen , even if i try to keep up in rails i really get very anxious, angry and confused. I get fed up of that i can not explain them and that is the freaking out moment for us. Recently i have been thinking that the only explanation is on subconscious level.And i believe that is the answer. All that OC dissorder is based on FEAR. And to be exact - irrational fear. Coincidences are part of that disorder in huge number of sufferers. So they are driven by fear and most importantly - AWARENESS. The sufferers uncontsciousness is so sharpened up for the triggers that bring you stress, that every irational pattern of numbers, exact clock time, sounds, registation plate, names ,things you hear - subconcious search them , spots them , it is driven by fear and awarenes. Coincidences are like thoughts. The main demon here is FEAR. So i explain it that way for myself - THE MORE YOU ARE SCARED OF SOMETHING AND YOU ARE AWARE OF IT AND TRY TO AVOID IT THE MORE WILL CHASE YOU AT ANY FORMS - either intrusive thoughts or ridiculous concidences every day. Think about that and tell me what’s your opinion. You fear , you are aware of something - your subconscious mind says: Got you, that is my job now, you keep doing your things.And ot is sharp as a knife. Doesn’t miss a thing that can connect between things at the enviorment that are triggers for your anxious OCD thoughts and feelings. For example, IF i i have a trigger that is NAME of a person, and im walking, shopping or whatever i am doing in public, i may hear hundred other names without getting my attention really, but if i hear that name i im anxious and awared and feared on subconscious level about, it will drive me crazy and i will say: here… again… It is not enough that this name is my obsessional though all the time and NOW i accidently hear it in a conversation between two people walking side me. Thats what sharpened subconscious mind waits, the things i fear and im aware. Never misses. And even creates connections for a split second . It is master for bullshit. And i wont even notice that i heard many other names.

That was just a small example. That is my thoughts about the sanity challenging coincidences. Hope conversation is actual. I want to know how things going for you too. It have passed some months i see.

Dear musicmatters,

I applaud your honesty and your bravery. Not just the courage to share what you shared knowing that others would see it… But also the courage to type it out (I’m guessing it wasn’t easy to re-hash your experiences as you typed out the original post).

What you described is so, so, so similar to what I have experienced my friend. Although I want you to experience resolution and freedom, I acknowledge that there was comfort in knowing that I’m not the only one who experiences these types of experiences.

Interestingly, I have had the “feeling / sense” that such and such would take place…

I’ve also had the experience in which I have “felt / sensed” that such and such “may take place” or is “about to take place”, and the “feeling / sense” is that if it does take place, then it means __________ (fill in the blank with something unwanted). I’m more comfortable with a made-up example, so let’s just say I’m wanting to go do something, like eat a sandwich, and then I get this feeling that somebody is going to text me right as I open the fridge, and if that takes place, it means I shouldn’t eat the sandwich. I get to the fridge, and my phone beeps… Super frustrating!

So, my friend, we have had some similar experiences.

But let’s not give up.

Ending life is not the solution. Let’s believe better.

What has made OCD, or whatever it is, difficult for me is that there is often this threat attached to it. I try to look at experiences rationally, but sometimes, it’s tough. Using an example that relates to what you described in your post that kind of continues my above example… Let’s say I just have a certain number in mind that I “feel / sense.” Finally, the “feeling / sense” is understood in a thought like this… “so and so will text you at 12:39.” Now attached to that is this threat… “if that does in fact take place, then you can’t eat the sandwich. And if you do eat the sandwich, something unwanted will take place.”

If that text were to come in at 12:39, it would be difficult for me to eat the sandwich. I would look at the probability… Man, that’s a 1 in 1,440 chance that I would be texted at 12:39 (1,440 minutes in a day). But of course, the likelihood that someone would text me during usual sleep time increases the probability. But still, I would be left with one of those head scratchers…

But consider this… Can we change what it means? Can we have the authority to tell the “feeling,” the “sense,” the “thought,” the “viewpoint” that it does NOT mean anything unwanted?

I think we can!

I want to be considerate of the norms that guide discussion on this forum. I do have convictions about what we experience related to my faith. Rational and scientific thought can be comforting, like a balm. But I think it is reasonable to acknowledge that our reason only goes so far. OCD thoughts, feelings, senses, experiences really do seem as though they are coming from an opponent… something opposed to our well being.

But we are NOT at their whim… We are not destined to be enslaved by them nor to them. We can, and may it be that we WILL, experience victory over them!

Hear me on this… Maybe it’s not just ignoring every one of these experiences, or analyzing them according to the mathematical likelihood of their occurrence, but rather, maybe it’s about taking authority over them and TELLING THEM WHAT THEY CAN AND CAN NOT DO, AND WHAT IT IS THAT THEY MEAN AND DO NOT MEAN.

What is scary is the threat of what they mean. But again, maybe we can take authority over what they mean (I struggle with this still, but the antidote to doubt seems to be belief, aka faith). So what are you believing my friend?

In practice it might look like this, “fine, you (whatever you are - “OCD, feeling, sense, thought… liar”) predicted what time I would get the text at. But it is NOT wrong for me to eat the sandwich. And in eating it, NO harm will come upon anyone! And I say this by the authority of the words of the One I believe in (and I do not want to offend you or any reader, rather, I mean this respectfully), and that One is Jesus.”

Again, I am not trying to speak in a manner that disrespects this forum nor anyone on it. I am advocating for a viewpoint, yes. But it has been done in a way that is kind, respectful, and with a heart wanting good for musicmatters and anyone else who may read this : )

Thank you,

It looks like the user “musicmatters” got frustrated with our software, or generally just gave up. He hasn’t posted for 10 months.

Hear me on this… Maybe it’s not just ignoring every one of these experiences, or analyzing them according to the mathematical likelihood of their occurrence, but rather, maybe it’s about taking authority over them and TELLING THEM WHAT THEY CAN AND CAN NOT DO, AND WHAT IT IS THAT THEY MEAN AND DO NOT MEAN.
Sounds rational to me.

Friend, I appreciate the kind words.

Dear all,

I am also an ocd sufferer, who is tormented by experiences of strange coincidences. What icodmc had described: “THE MORE YOU ARE SCARED OF SOMETHING AND YOU ARE AWARE OF IT AND TRY TO AVOID IT THE MORE WILL CHASE YOU AT ANY FORMS”, is a statement that so accurately describes the core issue of my experiences. The discussion of this subject seems to be petered out, and musicmatters has not updated for more than a year. I hope to rekindle some interests on this phenomenon, and to hear opinions from ocd as well as non-ocd people.

Maybe I begin by describing one such coincidence. Many years ago, while I was leaving office at about 7:00pm, a couple came to me and asked for direction of a certain place. Apparently, the couple were not local people. At the time, I jumped to conclusion and over-confidently pointed out the direction that I thought was the place they described. I thought that the name they provided was equivalent to the one that I had had in mind at the time, as they sound similar. Immediately afterwards, I realized that there was no basis for me to make the connection. Thus, when I got home, I checked out the map, and realized that I had indeed pointed them the wrong direction.

One characteristic of ocd people is their heightened sense of scrupulosity, so that I became rather uncomfortable about the mistake that I have made. Another ocd characteristic is magical thinking. When I think I have made a moral mistake (in this case, being reckless and careless), then there will be a sense that somehow bad thing is more likely to happen (as a punishment from some higher power).

Then some days past, I noticed that there was a police notice put near the crossing at a place in the direction that I had wrongly pointed to the couple. I approached the notice, and read to my horror that at about 7:00pm, a fatal traffic accident had occurred at the place! Since I had not kept a journal, I could not be certain that it was the same date that I met the couple. Notwithstanding, or because of this uncertainty, this event had greatly tormented me.

There are many other similar experiences, but the above is one of the most outstanding.

Are these coincidences just reflecting the distortion of our mind? That we are only hypervigilant to any happenings that can be conveniently weaved into our feared narrative? Or are they authentic phenomena of synchronicity, and that our ocd mind is particularly sensitive of noticing their occurrences?

After so many years of painful experiences and reflections, I think it is most likely that these ‘coincidences’ are predominantly a construct of our ocd mind; but there seems to remain a residue that may not be so easily written off as ‘mere coincidence’, or a product of our diseased mind.

Sigmund Freud, a rather non-religious person, had noted in his New Introductory Lectures on Psychoanalysis that: “Not every case, of course, is equally convincing and in not every case is it equally possible to exclude more rational explanations; but taking them as a whole, there remains a strong balance of probability in favour of thought-transference as a fact…” (p. 507, Chapter 30, The Complete Introductory Lectures on Psychoanalysis).

I have a theory that through such thought-transference, I have picked up such message that there had been an accident happened, and my ocd urge for self-punishment had taken this piece of information in the unconscious, and created this story of ‘coincidence’ to torment myself.

I really hope to hear from your opinions.

Police in your area put up notices about fatal car accidents in the areas where they occurred? Because…why? I don’t think that’s a thing. If it is then it’s a terrible waste of police resource and utterly pointless.

Freud was a hack. He once touted the wonders of cocaine because it helped him get over his opioid addiction…and then found out he was addicted to cocaine. And he wanted to sleep with his mom, which he thought was completely normal. And then other psychologists and psychiatrists agreed with him. They only realized recently what the rest of us knew all along, that this is NOT how “normal” people think, people who want to sleep with their parents are just apparently more likely to be interested in psychology…

I have not been diagnosed, but I am pretty certain I have a touch of OCD. I have some of the “usual” symptoms of being unable to stop adjusting things as well as the heightened sense of…I call it “honor”. I can’t lie, steal, let a person who needs help go un-helped, etc. But I abhor magical thinking, so I can’t really help you with that.

First of all I have to say thank you for this topic because I found it when I was really bad time in my ocd because of strange and too much coincidences about my fear. My fear is very similar with musicmatter’s fear. I see many coincidences about it. Like I am saying inside me " if it is real, then i will see a sign" and right that time or a few minutes later a message from whatsapp or somewhere else comes or someone calls me right that time. I can say that I see 1000 coincidences like this in 5 years. I also have coincidences with time. Like I think about my fear in for example 12.24, the last number is 4 and i start to see numbers that ends with 4 in clock and people start to send message me like 13.44, 15,14 etc. I hope you get what i mean.
Nowadays my problem is with synchrocities but my syncronicities are different than yours. Because you said you think about a random word like bob and hear it in a short time. My syncronicities are almays with same trigger word. For example word x my trigger and whenever i see that word in internet, a few minutes later or like 10 minutes later i see it again. It always everytime happens. This word is not so common by the way. Yesterday I saw it in instagram discover and I started to afraid because I knew i will see it somewhere else too. Minutes passed and I was talking to my friend. A poem suddenly came my mind and i wanted to send this poem to her. İ copied the poem and i realized that the word actually is in the poem. Or a few days ago i saw the word again in instagram and a few minutes later i saw it on tv/ads.

This is one of the threads that attracted me to this site. I browsed through the previous posts, but didn’t read in detail.

IMHO - Coincidences are just that. As stated somewhere above, we are able to keep aware of so many things, as our mind tries to organize all this stuff, it naturally links “like” things together.

It the “3-Peats” - or what I personally define as “Synchronicities” (I see there is a different definition above) - that are intriguing.

I find them entertaining. I feel bad for those that find these types of things disturbing.

I first started noticing this kind of stuff in the late '70’s. I got a digital watch (LCD, as LED watches would die on me within a few days) as a gift, and lost it at school. I went back after school and found it at 3:33. I started noticing the time at 3:33 since, and often still do.

My most recent: My wife played “Tennessee Whiskey” as I opened an early Christmas gift (though it was a bottle of bourbon) The next day on my Pandora channel of more-or-less ambient-type music, Tennessee Whiskey came on (I don’t listen to that type of music). Then the next day I decided to watch that new Clooney movie - Guess what song is predominantly in one of the scenes …

Like I said, I find it entertaining. Is it a message? Is it merely coincidence? Something else? One of the more exotic explanations I’ve come up with is: They are artifacts of the chaos engine that is producing the seemingly random reality around us.

There are so many possibilities of what is and what isn’t, just try and enjoy the hand you are dealt.

Thought I drop in to the land of flat earthers tho I am well aware that it is nothing more than lark on my part.

I do not use the word synchronicity to reference odd Coincidences. Read the literature by Jung and his followers decades ago . Belongs on the same fantasy shelf as Jung’s other fantasies and books on religion . I prefer Coincidence.

My heavy duty experiences began about forty years ago following a call from a person with whom I had an explosive interaction some four years before. Sine then I’ve experienced over two thousands major " events " and countless thousands of minor ones. These events form a bridge between my thoughts of the past and a present experience.

Other offroads of my life of Coincidences are my ability to read absolutely accurate Tarot ( useless as a benefit to anyone including myself ), words and scenes on television that mirror my thoughts coming a fraction of a second fter my thoughts, , glimpses of the future ( having thoughts about films I had not seen for many years or decades then to have them appear on tv a day or two later and the most dramatic , hair breath escapes from death…about twenty of them.

My experiences appear to be unique and are a result of who I am and the nature of the mundane world and the underlying reality ( U R ) . I’ve been down the road of involvement with psychics long ago. Truth is I’m well beyond psychics but I thought to throw out a bone for you to consider unlikely tho it may be that anyone here would contribute anything of interest to me. Stephen

I created An account just to respond to you. I’m having a similar issue but with numbers. It all started with the number 69, that now fills me with anxiety…

I have a number of strange experiences that began at a young age, and I too was also Christian at one point and I no longer am.

I’ll share with you some odd coincidences. First let’s start with the number 69.

At my first caregiver Job, I was seeing the number 69 too often for it to be a coincidence but at the time want into researching synchronisticities. So I was just curious as of to why I kept seeing it. Long story short, I got this overwhelming feeling that I should quit the job, but stayed. Long story short, was getting ready to report a coworker for abuse of a patient that I collected evidence about. She found out I was reporting her and decided to counter report with false accusations while manipulating a patient with autism who was severely delusional to lie on me by successfully gaslighting him. I had a dream the day before I went into the office that she came to me and told me that she was going to get rid of me “In the name of Jesus” and I told her in the dream “You’re God has no power over me”. She was a wicked woman, as I find most Christians to be, ironically. After that dream, I went into the office the next day to make my report and saw that she too was at the office. After writing my report, I was slapped with a suspension saying that I too had bee. Reported, and I knew it was her…

I am not an Athiest, as a matter of fact I’m a practicing demonolotrist, and it’s relevant to my story. I was suspended and eventually fired due to her lie. Some buddies and I with “Friends on the other side” did some “work” to get rid of her, as in make her lose her Job and she definitely did. For context with are all demonolotrists.

Now, that was at my first caregiver job. I later became a nursing assistant. At my first nursing assistant job, everything was going smoothly again and suddenly towards the end of it all I began to see the number 69 she getting a strong feeling that I should quit. I lost my job again after missing a day of work from being burned out and misreading the schedule.

Long story short, I would see this number, get an intense feeling that I’m on the wrong path and should change paths of my own accord, and everytime I ignored the number and tried to stay on that path, I was uprooted from the path in a devastating manner and put on a new one. However, the new path I was put on was much better for me.

So… Without making this too long, I began to see the number 69 again and was immediately filled with anxiety. This time the coincidences were too powerful to be ignored.

It usually shows up as a warning. I went on a date with this Russian gut and kept seeing the number 69. He fave me his credit card to go buy a beach towel and his pin number was 0069… I shit you not. Thar same Russian guy tried to abduct me. He attempted to lure me to a hotel with several excuses and when that didn’t work, tried to get me to agree to go home with him. There were a lot of red flags with this guy. I told him to drop me off at my car and that I wasn’t going home with him because his behavior was off the entire date, he was overly jealous, and verbally abusive. This guy literally would not stop the car and I had to jump out to get away from him.

So you get the idea, 69=bad

Recently I’m engaged, and only after a month of dating. I started seeing the number 69 a lot at my fiance house. On the thermostat almost every time Iook it, in my phone, randomly on social media. A paper came in the mail and 69 was written in big bold letters, and I told him about my paranoia in regards to this number. He told me it was his grandfather birthday and not to freak out but he was turning 69…

Anyways, because I’m happy in my relationship I didn’t like seeing that number all over the place. So I decided to ignore it. When I tried to ignore it, it only got more intense and now I’m seeing it multiple times a day. Too often to be a coincidence. A car infront of me had 69 on the License plate, and when I tried to ignore it, ANOTHER car pulled up right next to that one that also had the number 69 and they were both driving next to each other infront of me. So I tried to brush it off again. On the way home, I had 3.0 miles left before I got to my fiance house, according the GPS, and then I look up at a build board and I shit you not, it was an advertisement amd said “69 3.0 miles away” That whatever was on the Billboard was being advertised for $69, and that it was 3.0 miles away. My fiance house was 3.0 miles away.

So… With this number, whenever I start seeing it a lot like this, it typically means that I am on the wrong path. If I do not change path of my own accord, I will be uprooted from that path in the manner that I do not control. Naturally this fills me the anxiety, because I feel like I finally met an amazing man and I don’t want to lose him. Lately my anxiety has been spiraling out of control coma and so has my temper. So we have gotten into 4 fights, and fights were a result of my temper. My temperament is usually very mellow, but lately I have been easily irritated. I worried that he would get sick of my irritability, and throw in the towel, because I have flew off the handle more than once, which is out of character.

A few times I have thought to myself that some unknown force was actively sabotaging me. I really hate to think that way, but these coincidents are nothing new for me, Especially not with that number.

I looked on YouTube what the angel number 69 means, because that’s what they call them. They call them angel numbers. The meaning of it was generally very positive, so I try to reframe my mind to think of the number positively. However, my personal experience seeing the number all over the place, has been very negative.

That is just with this number, but I have some other unexplained coincidences that are very scary…

I will tell you that every man I have ever dated, and if I had a dream that he was cheating, he definitely was cheating. I remember meeting up with a man from tender, and having sex with him. I went to sleep in his arms and had a dream that he told me he was married. When I woke up, I felt so relieved, Cause I really liked this guy, and thank God it was just a dream. However, I told him about the dream, he confirmed that he was indeed married.

I was engaged as a teenager, and had a dream that my fiance kissed my friend Anna. I got very angry at the dream, but told myself it was ridiculous to be angry because it was just a dream. Then a mutual friend of ours came to me and told me that my fiancee kissed Anna, and I was furious. I confronted him about it, and initially he lied, but then he eventually admitted to it.

Another weird coincidence is that after I went back to him like a dumb-ass for 100th time, I had a dream that he was friends with this girl, but he was flirting hard with her, and that they were childhood friends. I woke up for the dream relieved that it was just a dream. However, all of a sudden he brings this childhood friend into the picture, That he tried to make me be friends with, which turns out that they were flirting with each other and even went on a date behind my back.

Another incident was with this Peruvian guy I was talking to, I went to sleep and had a dream that I got angry at him because I found out That an ex girlfriend of his was spending days at his house. This is really freaky, because I remember casually bringing up that if he ever had something to tell me, that involved another woman, that I wouldn’t get angry so long as he was honest with me about it first. I did not tell him about the dream. However, once again the dream was correct. He told me that an ex girlfriend of his contact at him, and wanted to have closure. That this was a promise that he made to her before he met me, and that she was going to be spending a week at his house. I was LIVID.

Anyways, you get the idea. I have these strange coincidences where I would dream of a man cheating and then it turns out that the details of the dream when scarily accurate. If it wasn’t something he already did with another woman, like the Peruvian gut, it was something he was PLANNING to do that I got conformation of after dreaming about it…

This shit gets weirder, trust me, but I would be writing an entire book. I tried to find an explanation for the coincidences to put my anxiety about them at ease to no avail.

So, now with my fiance, not only am I seeing the number 69 repeatedly, but I’m having dreams of him cheating. I also had a dream that we had a horrible fight that resulted in break up, right before we had a devastating fight.

So I try to shrug it off as paranoia, but the coincidences are too uncanny. It’s causing debilitating anxiety in my relationship.

I have more stories buy will leave it at this for now.

No, one more dream… I was in middle school I think, and had a bizarre dream. In the dream, I was standing in the middle of a desert and saw two tall white identical cylinder towers. The sky was red and the clouds moved rapidly through the cloud like a time lapse, or someone press forward on a video tape.

One tower collapsed, then shortly after the other fell as well.

As a child, my vocabulary wasn’t the best, so when I woke up from the dream I described it to my mother as seeing “twin towers falling down”

At the time, I had no idea what the twin towers were and this was before 9/11.

Another very bizarre ass coincidence.

So my dreams are typically spot on and the number 69 is a bad omen for me, despite the videos on YouTube saying it’s a positive number.

So imagine my anxiety having dreams of my partner cheating, though he says he would never, and seeking the number 69 so frequently lately after being recently engaged.

Especially since I really want this relationship to work out, and now I’m having anxiety.

I have a lot of other bizarre stories, but I’ll leave it at that.

I Googled “anxiety around synchronisticities” and found this thread.

Hi my 15 year old son has just started to experience almost exactly everything that you’re going through Jay and it’s terrifying for him and for me. I was wondering why I couldn’t get through to him and I just googled patterns and coincidences. I’m so glad I found what you put on here and that he’s not on his own. He is on the autism spectrum, High funtioning, so Aspergers.
