I think about people, and then they show up.
It just happens too much.

Not crazy. In my circle of friends, we call it, "sometimes we just know stuff" or Woo-Woo.
It's a gift, and I believe it is real. For what it's worth.

I don't think it is crazy, but I do think it is (at least in part) the result of a sampling bias.
OTOH it is nice to feel magical about the world, sometimes.
Sorry if I'm a downer.

Not a downer, ever. That's what forums are for.

You know, 'woo-woo' means something quite different in my circle of friends...

Hi Sleepygirl,
Do you run into people you know in unexpected places? I have a friend who I swear could be on a camel in the desert and run into somebody she knows. We were on vacation in Mexico and sure enough somebody she knew was at our hotel.
I don't think you're crazy at all.

I know I am afraid to ask what it means! It's quite innocent here. Don't tell me it refers to a body part...

Not so much, but I dream about people and then see them. They can be people I just know superficially, and never see, and then there's the dream... And then I see them.
Maybe I should start writing it down, to see if it's really a pattern.

It is more about the number of times you dream / think about someone and then see or hear from them COMPARED TO the number of times you dream / think about someone and then don't see or hear from them.
