Goes along with the belief in fate.
(Example, you have a dream about an ex, when you wake up, his favorite song is playing on the radio)
Or is it something else?

Coincidences happen, no one will question that. It is what you make of them that differs.
I say they are just coincidences.

I like to say that there's no such thing as coincidence. What I mean by that is that other factors are guiding the instances that we like to LABEL coincidence. It could be a nudge of fate, or karma, something we psychically set in motion sometime ago. Caroline Myss writes that a good way to deal with the universe is, if you're stuck in traffic, instead of being upset about it think: I wonder why the universe wants me stuck in traffic? Maybe it's so you can catch a special mention on the radio, or so you'll meet up with someone in the parking lot (or will *miss* someone in the parking lot). I like that explanation.

I do believe in Coincidences, Fate, Destiny.
I believe we of course all have free will, but i still feel when we make a choice that it reacts and fate and destiny still come into play.
I feel everything we send out comes back to us some how, "Karma"

I do NOT believe in the ide of conicidence. Accepting the validity of coincidence negates any belief in religion. Either God (or the gods) are responsible and have power, or everything is an accident, a coincidence and God (the gods) have no power at all. One or the other but not both.

Yes, I do believe in coincidences.
I however am not big on fate and am a free will kind of person.

It may well be that you heard the song in your sleep and that prompted the dream, rather than the other way round.
I haven't got a great deal of faith in "fate." I tend to think that's something people refer to to justify efforts to get what they desire.

Elaine from Seinfeld believes in small coincidences.
