Fabricant Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Alright, this has happened to my brother and I for a long time now... Whenever you start talking about an episode of the simpsons, its on the next day... Because of this, we would make jokes saying that there is a person in our wall, called Joe, that listens to us and reports back to sky one...telling them what episode of the simpsons we want to watch... Has something like this ever happened to anybody here in the tip.it community? (Also, I am sorry if this isnt supposed to be here) Dai jou bui! The full stop and comma are your friend....http://www.blogger.com/profile/31134299 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprites Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 This happens to me a lot. Whenever I watch TV I can tell what commercials will come on next. Or sometimes, I will think of a random word or phrase and someone will say the exact same thing! It's either a coincidence, or some form of precognition/telepathy is going on. P.S. this sort of thing happens when I am daydreaming. P.P.S. Have you ever considering training this ability?

Ragen Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 I think that this is called Deja Vu, when you see something and you subconsciously new it would happen. It is just a trick of the mind, don't worry about it. Thanks Venomai for this super sig and Kwimbob for the awesome avatar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jak722 Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 I blame Fox. =; The Enrichment Center reminds you that the weighted companion cube will never threaten to stab you and, in fact, cannot speak. In the event that the weighted companion cube does speak, the Enrichment Center urges you to disregard its advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barihawk Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 I think that this is called Deja Vu, when you see something and you subconsciously new it would happen. It is just a trick of the mind, don't worry about it. Actually, Deja Vu is the overwhelming sensation that you are reliving an event, conversation, or such that has happened before, exactly. My heart is broken by the terrible loss I have sustained in my old friends and companions and my poor soldiers.

BlueLancer Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 For the life of me I can't find a link to the possibility theory related to this topic on wikipedia or anywhere else, but I think I can explain it without one too... During the day, you literally think about tens of thousands of things, both unconscious and conscious. Your brain gets a lot of stimuli by viewing TV, reading newspapers, etc. and occassionally the thing you're just thinking about will very likely show up on the news, a TV series etc. But yeah, I bet it happens to a lot of people. It happens to me all the time. I'd read about a strange word I've never heard of in my life in an old dusty book I found in my bookcase, and a day later the word would show up in a newspaper. But I strongly think there's nothing 'supernatural' attached to it necessarily... It's all about possibilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think our minds just randomly release this sensation to make us believe we can see into the future. :-w I get that feeling all of the time, but I can never say that it will happen before. I never say "I had a dream about what is going to happen today" because I only remember I dreamt about it just as it happens. Strange, that.

There are some thoughts that can be explained as deja vu. I'm not sure of the name, but there is also psychological condition where people intentionally look for patterns in everyday objects. However there is also substantial evidence of telepathy and precognition among humans and animals. Where subjects were able to perform this time and time again under scientific conditions. I'm not saying you're wrong however. Kill corporate radio. http://www.killradio.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying you're wrong however. I on the other hand must disagree with the argument of evident telepathy or precognition. It is strongly regarded as pseudoscience by the majority of serious scholars and scientists and human subjects have not been proven to perform telepathy under scientific conditions. You might want to read more about it. I am very interested in it but from a factual viewpoint it does not exist (or can't be yet proven to exist) http://www.dina.kvl.dk/~abraham/psy1.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telepathy http://www.sciencenews.org/pages/sn_arc ... 9/fob4.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the main reason why the majority of the scientific community is skeptical of telepathy is because very few so called "psychics" were able to perform this ability for long periods of time. As it said in the wikipedia article, this was thought to be caused by boredom. There have been, however, many documented cases of psychic abilities that suggest that there may be some truth to ESP.

menot Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 i believe an appropriate phrase is "speak of the devil" (and he shall appear) its an expression for when you talk about someone, and there they are, or like in the original example, you talk about a simpsons episode, and there it is the next day. i have a double-example, which im not really going into lol. first i read this thread, then ~3 minutes later, i talked to my GF online, and found out something which we had talked about jokingly yesterday or 2 days ago, has happened by accident. thus the example of reading this thread, and then immediately after, it happened to me, is also one of these speak of the devil incidents. LMAO thats really random that it happened right after i read this babelfish - level 180 60th placestrongguy - level 173 69th place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katsuro0 Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 i have this annoying phenomenon where if i think about something it won't happen or the opposite will happen. it works at least 90% of the time. now i doubt it holds any ground or if its feasible whatsoever, but it still happens :-s and no, i can't trick my mind into thinking the opposite thing to get what i want b/c i've found that i'm still thinking about what i want in the back of my head...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabricant Posted September 10, 2006 Author Share Posted September 10, 2006 I just want to add that the "long time" is actually over a year...and Joe is still in the wall... Anyway, I have had occasions where there is a game of chance, like one of those ball under cups ones. I would think of the correct choice but I dont follow it...so I chose another and fail... Also, I have looked towards the phone, or something else, and it would do something.... Example: I have looked at the telephone and it rang... That has happened a few times....but it usually happens when I am doing other things, like watching television.....I would look towards the telephone, for no reason, and it would ring. It probably is just coincidence...but coincidences dont happen more than 3 times.....or do they? Dai jou bui!

Bubsa Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 For the life of me I can't find a link to the possibility theory related to this topic on wikipedia or anywhere else I can! It's called coincedence! :P Hehe, it is funny how things happy like that, like with episodes. I really can't explain it, I'd like to think it's more than a coincedence and hey! Maybe it is! This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knives669 Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Alright, the other night, I had this dream in which I was watching a movie that I had never seen before. Last night, I went over to my boyfriend's dorm and he says, "Hey. There are these two movies I would like to watch with you." so he puts a DVD in and it turns out, we were watching Clerks... I thought "Wow... I've never seen this movie... but it looks soooo familiar!" and then I remembered my dream. :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TotalTalker Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 yeh, theres actually a man who dreams the future, and he paints pictures of what he sees, and its events that happens in the future, and they come true. like the concord crash, and that time when a man killed a class of people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabricant Posted September 11, 2006 Author Share Posted September 11, 2006 I remember seeing him on the discovery chanel.... Anyway, I just seem to look over in its general direction....its strange I have also looked at the toaster and microwave....and each time I did, the toast came out of the toaster and the microwave made ping.....but I didnt see the dials, or whatever they are called, on the microwave.... I dont know....sometimes I am able to predict things...and then other times I cant... Also, I remember having a dream.....but on the day before the dream, I threw my frisbee (SP?) onto the roof of a house... Anyway, I remember the things from the dream. I remember getting up, going downstairs, going outside, picking up the frisbee and going back inside. When I woke up, the frisbee was beside me :shock: EDIT: I forgot to mention that none of my family said that they got the frisbee for me.... Dai jou bui!
