There is a scene in Insterstellar involving a bookshelf (I don’t remember all the details), and later he realizes that it was actually him giving himself the signs.
Sometimes I wonder if something similar can happen in real life — not literally, but through coincidences, patterns, or strange signs that seem to point toward your future.
And sometimes, even before something happens, you can imagine a certain version of your life extremely vividly. I wonder if that could mean that, in some sense, another version of you is already living that reality.

Have you ever felt like you were given signs about something that would happen later, but ignored them at the time?

Two separate books, by two separate authors—both devotional books—and both chose “amazement” as the topic of discussion for August 31st. What are the chances? out of all 365 days of the year, they both choose to discuss Amazement on the same date.

I'm amazed by this one for sure. What do you think?

It feels like I may have found some kind of code or pattern that I've aligned myself with. I will say ever since I can remember I've always asked for happiness when I prayed to God or the Universe or Britney Spears. It just seemed like the safest choice because I was afraid of that Goosebumps book, "Be Careful What You Wish For". I'm sure I don't need to explain the plot. Well over the years my quest for happiness has lead me down a road of Universal alignment.

I read about the law of attraction and I also read about some religions. Most importantly though, I just focused on whatever interested me in the moment. Ironically that meant I spent a pretty small amount of time on spiritual practices and rituals. Spirituality has always just been something I keep in the back of my mind, not something I practice regularly. I do try to treat people how I want to be treated though.

Anyways, after all these years of following my emotional compass towards whatever brings me joy, I'm living a life where syncronicities have become so common they are almost boring. I still get that dopamine hit when I have a big one, but they no longer surprise me. They do always amaze me however. It seems like proof that everyone and even every little thing is connected.

Maybe I've just trained my mind to notice them more than I used to. The more emotionally stable I become, the more I see them. It's been a long road but I'm at a place now where I can honestly say that I am getting what I asked for all those years ago...happiness. It's strange too because I'm sure other people judge me for my life choices. I could be seen as a failure by certain types of people. I don't have much money and I have no authority over anybody I know....but that's exactly how I want it. I let go of trying to control other humans LONG AGO. So the people who I have attracted in my life are awesome friends who stay around because they enjoy my company, not because they get anything from me other than my time.

My job sucks, but my coworkers are very nice to me, even the gen Zs. They all let me play my music while we work, for some reason, that makes me so happy to have that. I have access to sex with a very hot man when I want it. I'm pretty attractive still. I turned 40 today and 3 weeks ago someone I work with asked if I was a minor. My Uber driver talked for about 10 straight minutes about how good i look for my age. Some people straight up don't believe me. My cats both love me, one hates everyone else. I will not say I am popular because I'm a very solitary personality (autism), but I have enough positive interactions with people to be more than satisfied.

So back to the syncronicities and this pattern/path i find myself on. I started following these moments like they were bread crumbs. Everytime I saw one I would pursue it, investigate it and analyze it. It was mostly entertaining but it got overwhelming sometimes, so I would have to detach from it. Like I said, the key seems to be interest, following my natural interests. Most of the time I have no idea what any of it means other than the constant message of "We are all connected ". Then there are times when the message is crystal clear, like a telepathic bullet to the brain.

Ultimately I have come to two definitive conclusions. Consciousness continues after death in some form that is not possible to understand. Extra Terrestrial aliens and telepathy exist as well. This second one is backed by evidence of several personal UFO sightings of technology that humans are not capable of creating. Not evidence that I can prove (of course) but I know in my soul it's the truth. I know there is some connection to telepathy and syncronicities but I don't think either me or the aliens have figured out exactly what that is though. They have showed me a lot of evidence that they are observing me and are reading me somehow. I dont think they read thoughts word for word, I think they very accurately read moods and predict choices based on this pattern I speak of. The thing about predicting choices, is you have to stay on the path for the predicted pattern to come true. People can stray from their current trajectory at anytime, just like with predicting anything else.

There is so much more to this that I want to tell. I actually started writing a short science fiction story about it. I know there are other people deeply connected to whatever thought frequency I've tuned into. This entity is attached to certain people and keeps showing them to me. Stephen King is a big one. He has even wrote about his fans talking about "coincidences" and it has inspired the villain in his personal favorite of all his works (Lisey's Story). That's all for now, I hope this information finds who attracts it to themselves and hopefully some people with open minds and free time to read a stranger's post.

Edit: Link to my short story

https://www.reddit.com/r/scifiwriting/s/ECghk41iCD

I had dream that there was somekind of fountain which had red led lights and it involved my brother

When I woke up, I was thinking about the dream and made decision buying shower end which had red lights, it changes colour through water temperature.

I ordered it to shop and went to collect it

Man brought the shower end to me but it was different.

He said strange, then I noticed that there reads my brother's name in the package

I said that this is wrong name, and they brought package to me which had my name which is pretty close to my brother

I am thinking that if you make decision to make the dream come true there is good chance that you invite coincidences.

Has anybody else have samekind of experiences? What you think?

I’m posting this on behalf of a friend because she genuinely wants outside opinions. I’m trying to describe everything as objectively as possible, without telling you what she believes it means.

There is a person she became interested in after seeing him online. The first time she saw a photo/video of him, she had an extremely strong and immediate feeling that he could be “the love of her life.” She has never experienced that feeling with anyone else. Even now, whenever she sees a photo or video of him, the same feeling comes back.

Then several strange coincidences started happening.

He had a turtle keychain. She did not know about it beforehand and was not looking for anything related to him. Later, she happened to receive a turtle keychain of her own. It wasn’t identical, but it was similar enough that she immediately noticed the connection.

He also had a particular necklace. Before she knew he wore that necklace, she had already noticed a very similar necklace somewhere else and was seriously considering buying it because she thought it was beautiful. Later, she discovered that he had a very similar one.

There are also several name-related coincidences. For example, she once took one of those personality quizzes asking which One Tree Hill character she was, and she always got Brooke. His sister’s name happens to be Brooke.

At another point, she casually imagined that if she ever lived in New York and had a group of best friends, she would want their names to be Anna, Becca, Betsy, Liz, etc. She wasn’t thinking about him or his family when she said this. Later, she happened to see his sister posting stories with an Anna on one occasion and a Betsy on another.

Someone she used to babysit had the name Vivian . One of his relatives has a very similar name, Viviana.

She also occasionally babysits a child who happens to have exactly the same first name as him.

Another strange part is the timing. Before she ever knew who he was, she had moved to the United States and ended up living in the same city he had lived in. It wasn’t a huge city. They were there during the same general period, but they never met or even knew about each other. She only discovered who he was after he had already left that city.

Then there was the dream.

One night, she literally prayed and asked God/the universe for a sign: if this person was genuinely meant to be important in her life, she asked for some kind of sign.

That same night, she dreamed about him.

She has thought about him many times before and had never dreamed about him. The dream was basically romantic they were together in some way although she doesn’t remember all the details. There was nothing negative or frightening about it. What stayed with her was the feeling that they were together.

She knows dreams can obviously come from our subconscious, so she isn’t claiming that the dream automatically proves anything. But the timing really affected her.

There are other smaller coincidences too, but these are the main ones.

She also recently had an independent reason for considering moving to Los Angeles, where he currently lives. This decision is not being made because of him she has her own reasons for wanting to go there but the fact that he happens to live there makes the whole situation feel even stranger to her.

She has spoken to both a tarot reader and someone at a Spiritist center about the situation, and both basically told her not to try to force or anticipate what might happen, but that they considered the pattern meaningful rather than something she should simply dismiss. She understands that this is a matter of spiritual belief, not objective proof.

So I’m curious what people here think.

If you heard this entire story without knowing either person, would you consider it an unusually strange series of coincidences? Do you think it could be what people call synchronicity, or do you think it’s more likely that the brain naturally notices and connects these things after someone becomes emotionally important?

I’m genuinely interested in both spiritual and skeptical perspectives. I’m not looking for someone to tell her what her future is just opinions on how unusual this pattern actually seems.

Why does it always rain whenever I sing, and I mean ALWAYS? At this point, I’m genuinely convinced that my singing has some kind of connection with the weather because whenever there’s school tomorrow, I start singing and suddenly the sky decides to open up. That is literally why I sing whenever there’s school the next day. I’ll just be sitting there singing normally, and then somehow, a few minutes later, it starts raining, and not just a little bit either. I mean HEAVY rain, like the kind of rain where you look outside and immediately start thinking that school might get suspended. It’s honestly become a strategy at this point. If I don’t want to go to school tomorrow, I just start singing and somehow the rain comes through like it was personally summoned. And the funniest part is that I actually love it. I’ll be sitting there watching the rain get heavier and heavier, thinking to myself, “Yep, I did that.” Every single time I sing, it feels like the weather is listening to me and going, “Don’t worry, I got you.” Then the rain gets really heavy, everyone starts hoping for a suspension, and I’m just sitting there wondering how this keeps happening every single time. I don’t know if I’m actually causing the rain or if it’s just the craziest coincidence ever, but honestly, I’m not complaining. If singing means heavy rain and there’s even a chance that school gets suspended the next day, then I’m going to keep singing every time there’s school tomorrow. At this point, I might as well accept that I have some kind of secret ability to summon rain just by singing.

In 2013, I was planning to visit Chicago with my mother. I was living overseas at the time, and for about eight months I had been talking to a guy who lived in another state. I told him about the trip, but he said he wouldn’t come to Chicago to see me.

Then something strange happened.

Right after my mother bought our tickets, an old friend of hers suddenly contacted her. They had not spoken in more than 15 years. We found out that this woman, who had previously lived in Austria, was now living in New York City. She invited us to visit her, so our plans changed and we went to NYC.
When I told the guy I would be in New York, he suddenly decided to fly there to see me.
We met, but things went badly between us. He felt that I had rejected him during the visit and didnt spent much time, while I felt there were circumstances he never really understood. Afterward, he became cold and eventually disappeared from my life. By then I was back in my home country, and I took it very hard. I tried many times to explain myself, but I never felt that he actually heard me.

Years passed.
The strange part is that he never completely disappeared. Every once in a while he would come back, message me, and then vanish again. Eventually I stopped waiting for him and built my own life.
But even when he wasn’t around, I kept running into things that reminded me of him — repeated references to New York, the place he is from, his ethnicity, his culture, or other oddly specific connections. Sometimes they felt random. Other times the timing was so strange that I couldn’t ignore it.

Then, in 2023, the same woman from New York unexpectedly visited my home country and came to my house. We sat together remembering my 2013 trip to NYC. She had no idea about the guy or what had happened back then. By this point, I was already married.
In 2024, my husband and I visited her in New York.
And while I was there, that guy texted me again.
In 2025, I unfriended him once more. I had tried to cut contact several times over the years, but somehow he would eventually add me again or message me. About five months later, he reappeared again.
This time I asked him for help with a paper, and he helped me. I now live in the U.S., and strangely enough, some of the projects and research I work on are connected to his culture and his people — something I could never have predicted back in 2013.
We have spoken recently, but his communication is still inconsistent. He comes close, then pulls away.
What confuses me most is that even when he is completely absent, things connected to him seem to keep appearing in my life.

I know confirmation bias is real, and I’m not claiming that every coincidence has some supernatural meaning. But this pattern has been repeating since 2013, across different countries, relationships, and stages of my life.
So I keep wondering: why does this person keep reappearing? And why do reminders of him seem to appear precisely when I am no longer thinking about him?
Has anyone experienced a person who seemed to keep resurfacing through both actual contact and strange coincidences over many years?

what is the purpose of this?

the name? the colour of the animal ? something else?

Just going to leave this here. Bye reddit

Okay so what I’m about to tell you is going to be so crazy. You my my back ground, I’m a mom, 29 who’s been with Alex for almost 9 years we have three kids. I’m happy. For the most part .. you know the vibes.
Well I have this highschool ex that I started dating in 2013 the saga continued with him untill about 2016 untill it finally ended. We were together all of those years on and off and it was extremely toxic young love. We both hurt each other so much. But this is where it gets weird. When we were dating maybe like a year or so in .. one day we were at his house (which I should mention is a house that I have to now pass every single day to get my current home) how weird is that? Anyways, we were at his house and I was on the front porch he was out front too.. this old man was walking by and “B” (my ex) and him got to talking, the old man told him he should stop smoking or something like that, and B and him just kinda laughed I went inside at this point I’m pretty sure, my memory is foggy. But then B came inside and told me how something weird had happened, how the man asked his age. B told him he was 17 or however old we were, I think that’s right .. and the guy said he remembered being 17 that he was with his WIFE Jessica then too. MY NAME IS JESSICA .. he told him he needed to get his shit together so he could grow up and be a good father and husband. When the man went to walk away B asked the old man his name .. and no shit his name was B too. I think about this story every single day for years. It bothers me so much. I also think of “B” very very often. What is going on. Is this a sign? Is there something I’m missing? Please be open minded with your responses I know this sounds crazy.

I don’t normally believe that every coincidence has some deeper meaning, but something has been happening between me and my partner that I genuinely don’t know how to explain.

We met online around three months ago.

Technically, she knew of me much earlier. She had been a fan of my work when she was in 11th grade, but we only actually connected and started talking recently.

From the beginning, there was this strange familiarity between us. We had very similar interests: nature, rural life, peaceful places, temples, quiet environments, etc.

Conversation felt incredibly natural.

But then the coincidences started.

One of the first happened literally around the second day we were talking.

We were communicating through Instagram and had no intention of exchanging phone numbers that quickly. We thought we’d just call each other through Instagram.

That evening, Instagram suddenly had some kind of bug for us. We couldn’t properly call or send the pictures we wanted to share with each other, especially the nature/place pictures we kept talking about.

Because of that, we ended up exchanging our phone numbers much earlier than either of us had planned.

By the next day, everything was working normally again.

Obviously, that alone means nothing. Apps glitch.

But then little things started happening.

One day I asked her what she was eating.

I happened to be eating mango yogurt.

This was weirdly specific for me because I had never had mango yogurt before in my life. It was literally my first time trying it.

She was eating a mango at that exact time.

We laughed about it and called it a coincidence.

Then later, completely randomly, I asked her:

“Are you listening to this song?”

I had no reason to think she was.

She immediately sent me a screenshot.

She was literally listening to that exact song.

That was when things started getting strange.

There have been multiple occasions where I’ll close my eyes, think about her, and randomly say what I feel like she’s doing or even what she’s wearing.

And somehow I’ll get it right.

I’m not claiming that I’m psychic or that every guess I make is correct. But it has happened enough times that some of the accurate ones have genuinely freaked both of us out.

Sometimes she’ll actually start shaking when I correctly describe something I had no obvious way of knowing.

And it isn’t only physical things.

I’ve predicted her mood without her telling me anything.

There have been moments where something just feels different to me and I’ll know she’s upset, uncomfortable, happy, or that something is going on emotionally.

What’s even stranger is that she does the same thing with me.

She has predicted my mood when I haven’t told her what I’m feeling.

Sometimes one of us can tell that something is wrong with the other before we’ve actually said anything.

Then there are the simultaneous things.

I hadn’t eaten ice cream for around two months.

One random day I decided to have one.

At the same time, without either of us knowing what the other was doing, she was also having ice cream.

Again: coincidence.

But these things keep stacking up.

One of the strangest incidents happened after we had a small fight.

We basically went silent for about a day.

During that period, I was scrolling Instagram and kept getting these particular white-background life quote/reel type posts on my feed.

Then after this long silence, both of us essentially reached out around the same moment about the same kind of thing.

After not talking, we were suddenly texting each other at the same time.

When we exchanged screenshots, I noticed something else.

My phone battery was at 11%.

Then I looked at hers.

11%.

Initially I laughed because obviously two phones being at 11% isn’t impossible.

Except this wasn’t the only time.

Our phone battery percentages have randomly matched FOUR separate times.

That is one of those completely meaningless things on its own that nevertheless starts feeling bizarre when it repeatedly happens alongside everything else.

And there’s another pattern that happens constantly.

I’ll wake up in the morning, think about her and reach for my phone to message her…

and her message arrives.

Sometimes I’ll suddenly think intensely about her…

and she calls or texts.

Other times she’ll tell me she had been thinking about me when I happened to message her.

Sometimes it feels like one of us starts the conversation in our head and the other person somehow finishes it in reality.

But maybe the strangest part isn’t any individual coincidence.

It’s the feeling.

From very early on, I’ve had this strong sensation that I somehow already know this person.

Not just:

“We have good chemistry.”

Not:

“We became comfortable quickly.”

It’s difficult to explain, but sometimes I get this overwhelming familiarity where my brain basically goes:

“I know this person. I’ve known her before.”

Except logically, I haven’t.

We only connected three months ago.

We also eventually discovered that we have the same birth star/nakshatra, which added another strange little layer to everything.

I’m completely aware that confirmation bias exists. When you care deeply about someone, your brain naturally notices matching events and probably forgets all the times nothing unusual happens.

Maybe that’s exactly what’s happening.

I’m not claiming telepathy, reincarnation, soulmates, or that any of this proves we’re destined for each other.

But it’s the frequency and combination of everything that fascinates me.

The matching battery percentage four different times.

Predicting what she’s wearing or doing.

Predicting each other’s moods.

Thinking about each other immediately before a message or call.

Eating strangely specific things simultaneously.

The song incident.

The weird circumstances that pushed us into exchanging numbers.

The same birth star.

And underneath all of it, that persistent feeling that meeting her wasn’t really an introduction.

It felt more like recognition.

So I’m curious, especially from people who believe in the Red String of Fate:

Have you experienced this level of synchronicity with one particular person?

Did it continue years into knowing them?

And has anyone else met someone for the first time and had this almost unsettling feeling of:

“You’re new to my life, but somehow you don’t feel new to me.”

Ei isso e um sinal?

Eu e meu amigo ia fazer urbex numa fábrica aí rodamos ela antes e meu amigo achou um par da mesma Kenner que ele tava usando do mesmo tamanho jogado no mato nos achou legal e ignorou aí beleza nós fomos pra frente da fábrica enviarmos ela quando vimus tinha um cara lá dentro e depois 3 caras começou a correr atrás da gente nos pulou o muro de novo s escondeu e correu KKK nisso meu amigo rasgou a Kenner e voltamos lá e aquela mesma Kenner era o mesmo par que ele perdeu e cabei certinho no pé dele

I have this strange faith when it comes to love
I believe that sometimes two people are meant to find each other even if they don’t recognize it the first time
Maybe you meet someone when the timing is completely wrong. Maybe you barely notice them. Maybe you feel something around them, but you don’t understand what that feeling is... Is it love? Attraction? Attachment? Anger? Curiosity? You just know there is something there something deeper than you can explain!

And sometimes you let that person go
Maybe you break up, Maybe life separates you, Maybe nothing even happens between you because neither of you realizes what that connection means yet
But I believe that if something is truly meant to happen between two people, life has a strange way of bringing them back together

What fascinates me even more is the idea that you could meet the person you’re eventually going to love long before you actually fall in love with them.. Maybe you’ve already walked past them, Maybe you’ve spoken once and forgotten about it, Maybe they were just another face in the room
Then years later.. you meet again! And this time, something is different... You see them.

Maybe that’s what destiny in love means to me. Not that everything happens perfectly or that every breakup means two people will eventually reunite. I just believe that some connections arrive before we’re ready to understand them
Maybe certain people enter our lives more than once because the first meeting wasn’t supposed to be the whole story

I don’t know if that’s destiny, coincidence, or simply the way we give meaning to love but I like believing that sometimes letting someone go doesn’t necessarily mean you’ve seen them for the last time

Do you believe 2 people can be destined to find each other again even if they didn’t recognize what they had the first time? Also if you have story we gonna happy to share it with us!

So I am sitting looking at a tree in my yard this evening and seeing how the roots at the base are exposed again and how I had put soil over them a long time ago and now there is nothing there. I am sitting alone so I am not talking to anyone about it. I didnt search anything online about it and didnt take any photos. I come inside and later pull up Google, the first time I had been on today, and the top item is an article from Martha Stewart "Should You Cover Exposed Tree Roots With Soil? Here’s What Arborists Say" Published today.

Like people all over the world I’ve been upset over Dolly Parton’s passing. I love her music so I’ve been crying on/off. I’ve started seeing butterflies on my fb feed. First it was an American Eagle ad with a pair of denim jeans with butterflies on each leg. Then a jewellery store’s ad featured a butterfly bracelet. On TikTok I saw a live where light up butterfly wings were being sold. I swear I’m not intentionally looking for butterflies and I didn’t realise that Dolly loved them so much!.
