Last night just before I woke up I had a dream about a guy coming to
the door selling religion, so to speak - the details were a bit
weird, as in most dreams, but that was the gist of it - I sent him
away, saying "no thanks we don't indulge" or words to that effect.
I've never had a dream of that sort, at least not that I can recall.
A few minutes ago, for the first time since we've been in this house
(1 and a half years) - indeed the first time in a lot longer than
that - a guy came to the door with a copy of the "Watchtower" and a
personal message from God. I sent him away, but ... I was a bit
shaken.
Charles also had a weird recurring dream for several years about a
situation he has now found himself in, to do with work, which has
freaked him out a bit, although his makes more sense as a "worry
dream".
Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence ... isn't it?
A boring explanation for this sort of thing is that the set of
possible coincidences is so large that it is likely that we find one
once in a while.
Indeed.
Another one is that our brain is so good at detecting patterns that
we realize subconsciously that something is likely to happen, by
pinking on subtle clues from the environment.
Yes, Liz could have seen those guy doing their work, without noticing
it consciously, but generating subconsciously a warning of their
arrival.
But of course, who knows?
My favourite personal experience: once I was bored waiting on the
subway station. I entertained myself by imagining a mysterious story
that involved empty trains passing by the station without stopping,
with the lights turned off. The next train passed by without
stopping, with the lights turned off.
Looks like a movie by Bergman, or Delvaux ... :)
