Hi,
It's baffling and I can't explain why . I'ts happened to me so many times it's spooky when it happens. These are some of the accasions:
1. I'm doing the crossword and the tv is on. I write down a word and in the same instant that word is spoken on the tv.
2. I,m looking up the meaning of a word in the dictionary. I open the dictionary and it opens at the right page and the word is staring me in the face.
3. I want to phone a friend and immediately the phone rings and my friend is on the line.
These were not isolated incidents. They've been happening on numerous occasions. All I can say is it's weird.
Yet, when I pick my lottery numbers why do'nt they come up!!
Maybe it will work for me one day. All I can do is hope.

This happens to me frequently. Several times a day, far too often for chance.
A bit eery!
It is particularly disconcerting when you are considering an obsolete or unusual word., a word which is rarely used. Then within seconds/instantly it pops up on the media
The chances of this happening are millions to one against. So what's going on?
Is it a 'glitch in the matrix'?
Are we all pawns in a 'greater game'?

It happens all the time! I don't get it! It is so coincidence! If I say it out loud the words follows off of the tv! It happens when I am around people too! I say something and it is repeated. Every day it happens! Glad to know it happens to you too! It has been going on for a few years now! Call it tuned in!? Channel vision?

Not only that but I can make the guy on the news tell stories about what happened and how the weather was that day. Your a monkey.

Very frequently. Expectation or anticipation-part of brain functioning in specific context.

yeah.. no.
Your brain is constantly looking for patterns in everything. Chances are you have heard similar things said that you have just forgotten about, but your sub-conscience hasn't. So your brain figures out the pattern and anticipates the next word.

It happens to Me on the rare occasion. It is called a coincidence.
