well now, that would depend a lot on what it was you were thinking about, and whether or not your unconscious mind took small action while you were conscious and unaware, that would increase the probability of an event happening. There is also co-incidence, which can seem like something supernatural, but it's only probability again intersecting with our imagination.

And if you can, will you ever know that you were the one who caused for the event to take place? Things happen around you all the time, but you don't think that they will happen, do you? Or, if you think, then it means that it was supposed to happen, anyway. Like waiting for a the bus. Let's say that there are three buses that stop at the same bus stop: No. 1, 2 and 3. You wish for No. 2 to come, close your eyes, visualize it, and, here it is, No. 2 is coming. What you don't know is that No. 2 was supposed to come, anyway, according to the schedule.
Conclusion: when things come out the way we want, we immediately notice that and think that we did it through some hidden power. We tend to erase from our memory the hundreds of the occasions in which things happened NOT the way we thought they would.

Yes, especially if it is a negative thing you're thinking of. We humans are prone to under cutting ourselves by dwelling on more of the negatives than the positives.
Sometimes I'll be worried about this or that, and all sorts of scenarios play out in my head,and when what I've been worrying over and stressing over comes to pass, it's not nearly as bad as I'd imagined it would be.
I truly believe positive thoughts and outlooks breed positive things and vice-versa for the negatives.Nice question!

I've heard of this effect, it's called the power of attraction, and at the quantum level, that is at the most fundamental level we can detect in the universe, it seems our thoughts can have a profound effect. I can't verify it with empirical proof, but have had some fairly irrational things happen to me, and so in my mind at least, it is as plausible as a religious person saying they had an answer to prayer.

Yes, my daughter ate a bowl of noodles and left the juice. She likes to lay flat covered up with a blanket. When she is finished, she gets up. I never told her to move her bowl to the kitchen sink. For six hours I pondered when it was going to be turned over and spot the carpet. It happened in the sixth hour. I only popped her once and made me clean up the mess. I was partly to blame. Normally, she would get a whopping and then sent to the corner time out spot for 10 minutes, but I actually put myself in time out for 20 minutes. I stopped doing what I was doing and just reflected.

Sometimes. Thoughts become feelings, feelings become actions. Before something comes to fruition you first have to have a vision. Vision is very important to most companies and organizations, scientists and inventors etc.

Noel Edmonds and all his Cosmic Ordering friends certainly think so. They've written books about it.

Yes. Sometimes worrying about the worst brings it, sometimes hoping for the best, you'll do the actions needed to bring it about.

Death is something which people think of frequently and surely it comes one day.
