-You're humming a song, or thinking of it, and it plays on the radio.
-You watch a movie on DVD only to see it shown on TV the day after.
-You're texting a friend, and at the same moment he/she calls you(or the other way round).
-You dream about a person's funeral(when they're still alive), and it happened...
I've experienced all these.
Is there a specific name for these phenomena?

I call it telepathy. It is the nature of our evolution.

The Psychologists call it 'synchronicity' and, in mathematics, we refer to it as the 'Stron Law of Large Numbers'. Both of them refer to probabilities. There really is no known (or even imagined) coupling mechanism that can explain them. And they don't happen often enough to make anyone suspect that there might be.

Growing up..you are what people reffered to around me to as "sensitive".
At the risk of sounding like the neighborhood loony here is a tip: Dont ignore this level of sensitivity to "energy " it will become VERY useful oneday.

Yes stuff like that happens all the time. It's either random coincidence, or a mild psychic power that nearly everyone has (in which case, it doesn't sound very psychic, just normal!)

some people just have the ability to see things otheres cant. I think it is human evolution and eventually we will know these things without wondering how.

A word that comes to mind is 'synchronicity'. I don't know if that is the word you're looking for.
