What kind of synchronicities happen to you? Someone describes the following pattern: one sees a person and erroneously thinks it is X, but a short time afterwards one really sees X. I am afraid this has never happened to me, as far as I can remember. The closest to it was a month ago. I saw a person at a bus stop and thought for two seconds she was a certain former classmate of mine, after realizing my error I thought that perhaps shortly afterwards I would really see her and it would be my first time of this type of synchronicity. Then I got on the bus, and there WAS another woman, who was resembling my former classmate even more than the first one, but it still wasn´t her, and I haven´t met my classmate since.
What happens to me quite frequently is this: I watch television and peruse the newspapers simultaneously, for example, and I hear and see the same word at the same time, sometimes a most unprobable word or name, and - never a split second too soon or too late. Quite recently this has happened twice in a row (at 15 minutes´ interval?). I was on youtube listening to some stuff on our current geopolitical situation, the voice said "rocket launcher," and at the same moment my eye fell on the other videos youtube was offering to me (which I hadn´t seen before, at least consciously): Rocket Launcher Please - a chess video by Mato Jelič, who was featuring in it a game by Alekhine vs. Reilly.
(Wikipedia: Alekhine's gun is a formation in chess named after the former World Chess Champion, Alexander Alekhine. This formation was named after a game he played against Aron Nimzowitsch in San Remo 1930, ending with Alekhine’s decisive victory.
The idea consists of placing the two rooks stacked one behind another and the queen at the rear. This can lead to massive damage to the opponent as it usually marks the beginning of the final assault (in this case it was only four moves before resignation). In rare cases it can be two queens and one rook on the same file.)
Then I was listening to Jeff Berwick´s channel (who seems to be quite famous here at steemit, or is he a persona non grata?), he said "reality," at the same time I was also reading a wikipedia text in Czech on pokemon, how it blends fiction and reality etc., and the two "realities" met. Reality and reality, the first heard in English, the second seen in Czech, but, and here comes the subtlety, the Czech word was not in its first grammatical case, because the Czech word for reality is "realita", not reality...
- realita reality
- REALITY of reality
- realitě to reality
- realitu (I see) reality
- realito (Hey, you) reality
- realitě about reality
- realitou with reality
You see, it (the synchronicity) had to choose the right form... I wonder only if the whole thing might mean something else to me. Am I living a life that is real enough? Am I supposed to launch an Alekhine gun or cannon or rocket and meet with all of my former classmates and play chess with them for real, not only on www.chess.com? Or may be it just means I shouldn´t try to do two things at once, be more focused...
Our brain has evolved to detect synchronicities and to remember them, that's how our memory works. Our brain is a very efficient pattern detector. But there are no reason that all those patterns we detect have any meaning. There is definitely no need to postulate a message from a higher plane of the universe here.

Fully empathize your puzzlement about synchronicity)
Want to share my story with you.
Once, I was leaving a bar and stopped near the entrance for hugs and good buys, when friends asked me, if it's convenient for me to share a taxi on the way home - and at this moment (time went as it felt a little slower) I thought “no, I need to go alone by metro and more over I need to wait a little now before going” I continued a chat till the taxi came and went alone to the metro. This very station has 2 escalators which you need to change on the way down (or up) and some space between - for 10 steps I suppose. So when you go down and somebody goes up - you have about 4 seconds to meet. When I entered, I felt that I need to go down the escalator (instead of standing till it moves) and when I'll be in this space I'll meet a concrete person. So I did it. And met this person. It was very strange)
And another story.
Once, I was recommended to friends of friends to make some photographs at the anniversary of their 3-years old daughter. When I came on the scheduled day I was explained, that I need to get through the market on the corner of the house to get at the back yard where entrances are situated. Here my battery went out. It was a multistage building with 2 wings forming a right angle. When I crossed the market from the corner point, I didn't know where to go - left or right, and I chose to go right - counted entrances 1...2....3 - looked at the tablet with apartment numbers, found the one I needed and entered. In the elevator I met an aged lady, she pressed 10th floor - me 11th. She started a chat on ecology, world issues, greenhouse gas etc. We discussed a little, she left at 10th floor, me at 11th, where I found an apartment, but it was empty - nobody opened the door. So I decided to check the left wing and got outside counted entrances again 1...2...3.. tablet also had the apartment I needed. I entered and in the elevator I MET AGAIN AN AGED LADY (another) she pressed 10th floor (!!!) I pressed 11th. I stood quiet, hoping not to hear of ecology or gases)) The lady was quiet. But it was also veery veery puzzling)

Hello,
there is a thick book on this issue, the personal diary of certain Aaron Garrison, he really seems to be a "synchronicity freak", but the book is almost unreadable for me, too many personal associations etc. There may be some typology, different people having different kinds of weird things happening around them. Don´t you mind if I upvote you? I have been new to this site (have never been on Facebook nor Twitter), the money issue makes it so funnily confusing, it IS like prostitution, and it´s very very confusing, but I hope to gradually find some balance between my greed, exhibitionism, honesty and candid curiosity.
