The Strange Coincidences Archive

My name is Jacob and I am 19 years old. I encountered a strange coincidence the other night that, though frightening and painful at first, proved to be an important experience for me.

Just recently, I’ve become interested in tarot cards. In this book I own called “The Birthday Book”, I found that the tarot card for my birthdate is The Fool. This explains alot because I am a person known to make impulsive decisions and often humiliate myself, even when I try hard not to. Anyways, two nights ago, I went to a beach in my old hometown with my cousin Michael (I have been away at college all summer and I am currently visiting my family until I start again in the fall). My cousin and I smoked some Marijuana and when we started to walk away from the beach area and into the parking lot, I brought up the tarot card coincidence of me being the fool. I then thought of the Chinese zodiac and realized that I was the rabbit. In my high state I exclaimed “Wait, my internal aniaml spirit is a rabbit, a scared and timid creature. That sucks, that’s pansy.” I then started to become very cold and told my cousin we should sit in my car until I was warmed up. In the truck, I wrapped myself up in a blue blanket and started to become paranoid and said “I’m a big pansy, just a rabbit.” What happened next seems so surreal. As my cousin was trying to calm me down, I noticed that I was all wrapped up in a blanket and shivering and outside were kids my age all hanging out. They looked like preppy, jockey, Laguna beach kind of kids, people that bullied me in middle school and in the beginning of high school, the mean kids, because I was nice and naive. This was a symbol. Me shaking like a scared baby with my “blanky” because I was afraid of rejection and being made fun of by these kids (even though I didn’t know them, they still symbolized the cool kids). I was really freaking my cousin out and said we needed to go. We got into his car and decided to go to Jack in the box and get my own car later. Another strange coincidence occurred as we were stopped at a stoplight. Though by now I was warmed up, I still had the blanket. I looked to the left of us and there was a jeep full of kids my age, “Laguna Beach“type, popular-looking kids. I wasn’t shivering anymore, but my cousin’s car was shaking like mad, it’ an old car, but I took this as representing my shaking fear. I wasn’t really scared of these kids, but just imagine that scene and how well it fit. Me looking like a little frightened child in the car and staring at the cool kids that I believed would never like me (though I didn’t even know these particular kids). At the Jack in the Box drive-thru, I had a moment of clarity and began to calm down a bit. I started to realize what was happening, I was confronting one of my greatest fears and seeing myself from an outside perspective. I had alot of fear of being rejected by the “cool kids”. Now that I have seen this fear of social rejection, I am starting to push the fear out. I shouldn’t care what those meatheaded jerks think about me. I know I’m a great person and alot of people like me, and shouldn’t take to heart what some “popular” people think about me. And this experience also inspired me to push ALL types of fear out of my life now. I’m becoming an adult. I will need all of the confidence and faith in myself I can muster. As for being the fool, I must gain control of myself, become more prepared, and pay more attention to detail, so that I may function more properly in society and come out being the wise man in the end.

one night,
we were coming home from the country. we were visiting friends when it started to rain so hard we could not see a thing. yet we were going at least 50 mph. I started to get frightened when I had an idea to pray for the storm to go away. so I did. exactly one second later the storm had completly stoped! It was amazing.

When I was little, I was best buddies with a little boy named Abraham. We were in the same 1st grade class, and took violin lessons together every Friday. We were friends for just that year, maybe a couple more.

I’m 18 now. In college. I arrive at my first rehersal with the university symphony orchestra and sit in my assigned seat. My buddy Abraham who I have not seen or spoken to in 12 years sits down next to me…he has been assigned randomly out of 100 people as my stand partner.

(He doesn’t remember me yet…but he will.)

I had a very vivid dream about a guy telling me a big secrect as I looked at a bartender and then told this guy an opinion I never would have expected from myself. I woke up and remembered this dream as being strange and then pretty much forgot about it. Several weeks later, I came in contact with a friend I had not seen in 15 years and he proceeded to tell my a very BIG secret in his life. Because the bar was so loud, we had to lean close together and I could only look at the bartender as my friend was talking. It was then, I remembered the DREAM!!!!! Once my friend was done telling me his secret, I based my opinion on what I knew of him 15 years earlier and not what I would think of someone today. My answer was totally what I told this person in the dream….which was HIM (but I didn’t know at that time!!!)
If you ever read or follow Sylvia Brown, this is a great example of “following your chart”. She believes we are sent here for a reason and our higher power, GOD, will send us little reminders (coincidences and dreams) that we are following our chart correctly. I totally believe in this, and this is not the first time this has happened. Most are very hard to remember, and not as clear. They are like little post it notes in life! I love them!!!!

Most of the guys I have had long term or strong relationships with have had the birthdate of November 17th. Total of three guys with the same birthdate and finally married one!!!

Just this morning I was in the bathroom brushing my teeth. I have a Pitbull named Shady and she has always been there for me. All of a sudden she came running in from outside and ran into my legs, almost knocking me over. The dog was actually pushing me away from something.
She jumped and started biting at something on the floor. She used her feet to step on this thing… a Black Widow spider!
If the dog was in the outside, how did she know there was something I needed protection from?

I live just near Zurich airport. One wet weekend in June about 1981, I decided to walk down to the airport in the rain and get an English newspaper. Each way took about 30 minutes. On the way back I crossed the road at a point not really suitable for doing this and saw a ten Franc bank note lying on the ground in the wet. Naturally I picked it up and took it home to dry.

Two years later in June, during a wet weekend, I walked down to the airport in the rain to get an English newspaper. On the way back I remembered what had happened two years previously and crossed the road at exactly the same point. I didn’t see any note lying on the ground but there was a brown envelope lying in front of me. I picked it up and discovered to my amazement that it contained 1500 Francs in notes, wet of course…

my ex girlfriends phone number was 681–4563, mine was 5463

In 4th grade I would always say Akilah l’abeille which is french for Akilah the bee (Akilah being my name) and just this year a movie came out called Akeelah and the bee I mean out of all the names and insects.Now that is A PURE coincidence!!

I keep on seeing the number 2 2 2 everywhere, almost everyday and yesterday i was reading the newspaper and i read a small passage which was referring to the United Nations deadline for which Iran must declare all of their nuclear programs to the UN which happened to be August 22nd. The newspaper also mentioned that this date alos coincided with a holy date in Iran’s calender which happens to be the day of the Apocalypse.
