Lol! But it’s just like auditory HH, with the difference you’re awake. This happens sometime when you’re tired.
Now back to the topic: about the point of coincidence, I notice that most of the paranormal phenomena can be interpreted like coincidences… cause there are no definite causal link between such facts. If you think the same thing than a friend and in the same time, it could be a coincidence. If you dream about a phone call and you have the same phone call the next day, it could be a coincidence. If you have a SD, it could be a coincidence. If you see a room you don’t know and when you visit this room, it’s the same, it could be a coincidence. So skeptics have an easy game.
Now we could say too that if we switch on a computer and it works, it could be a coincidence (especially if you have a Microsoft OS ), etc.
Hence what I will emphasize here are just the coincidences we find curious (not what they could mean or how they are classified according to a paranormal point of view, cause it’s useless).
I think that Infinitycascade idea about considering coincidences as “RL dreamsigns” is interesting. There was a recent thread about something like LD’ing IRL (I think I should put it in the Beyond dreaming forum BTW). This idea is rather unclear yet but as I’ve had recently a curious experience, I think it’s somehow interesting. And as you’ll see, it’s a “curious coincidence”.
Recently, I’ve tried to “stop the world”, as it’s said in Castaneda - it’s something like stopping thinking, stopping to construct the world, what we do at every second. I was walking and during about thirty seconds, I found myself in the same world but it was completely different. It’s quite unexplainable, but the best description is, it just looked like a LD. Of course, it doesn’t mean I could fly or physical laws were different. But it’s like I was in a non-solid world made of transparent and vivid colors. It was very curious.
As my best internet friend is a meditation practitionner, I asked her what it could have been. She laughed and she said it was a “clarity attack”. In tibetan buddhism, clarity is something like “stopping the world” in Castaneda - at the least, it’s what I understand. The most interesting is, she said that when you reach clarity, you may see the world as a lucid dream.
Another curious thing is, the week when it happened, I had a lot of “curious coincidences” (telepathy between blogs, similar events in quite the same time, synchronicities, etc.) This made me remind of Infinitycascade’s thread. I don’t want to reach any conclusion for the moment, but first of all, I know it’s possible to experience life as a LD; second, this seems to be somehow related with “curious coincidences”. Then in a certain way, i find Infinitycascade’s idea to be interesting.
