Today at work I was searching for a document on my desk, it was there. Really important. I don't have a shredder no one goes into my office and it's still missing. Drove me crazy. Lol

OK i got one.

About 10 years ago i lived in Mammoth ca. I was doing a snowboard test for an old snowboard mag called "future snowboard mag". They gave us 100 different snowboards to ride and test and say what we liked or didn't like about them.

The last board i rode was called a Burton Vapor. It was the most expensive snowboard you could buy at the time running about $1,200. I went to meet up with my friends at the top of the mountain. They were all tripping on mushies. I was sober. I told them what board i was riding and everyone started making jokes about how it better be the fastest and best snowboard in the world.

One of my friends said "that board better come with a hippy that pushes you when you get stuck in the flats up here." We all laughed about it. Decided to ride down the back of the mountain. At the end of the run it gets too flat to ride, so everyone takes off their board and hikes the rest of the way.

This time however, my board was really fast and I made it further than my friends before I got stuck. I was about to unstrap and start hiking up the hill when a guy with a long beard and a tie die t-shirt walks out of the woods and goes "hey man, you need a push?"

I looked at him and was like hell yeah i do! He pushes me up the hill and i ask him what he's doing out here with no snowboard or anything. He just said he was hiking in the woods, happened to come out at the perfect time. I said thanks for the push and I rode to the lift. I turned around to look at my friend and they were all on the floor laughing their asses off.

The board did end up coming with a hippy to push me to safety.

I've got a couple. About two years back, I discovered one of my favorite artists released a cd based on Lord of the Rings. The CD was out of print since 2003, and physical discs would go for 3-4x the original value of the cd.

In addition to this, I had been searching for a hardcover edition of a Stephen King collection - this particular collection is one of the hardest to find a hardcover in (the new printings doesn't do hardcovers, only soft).

Prior to that time, I gave up searching and forgot about it. Well, I went to help with the volunteering that I normally do (which involves selling books, cds, etc), and was lamenting to the people in the audio room that I couldn't find that one CD, and I found that while I was telling them about it, I just happened to stop searching for a sec - the next CD was the one I was looking for, in mint condition. Same thing happened in the book room - I've worked this sale for years, and never found the hardcover Stephen King...well, same thing happened: I stopped unpacking a box to talk with someone, and the next book I pulled out was the hardcover.

And, I guess my experience of having someone vanish, only to have an oddly coincidental dream the same time they started talking to everyone again counts as well (except that I don't consider it a coincidence in this case).

That is a great one! Thank you!

I was posting on ATS one night,in winter 2012 iirc.The subject turned to dogs.I posted a reply to a member,i still recall who it was,saying that because Great Danes are,like everything else,extremely expensive in my country,we are thinking of getting a female Rottie.They are cheaper,and great dogs too.

But that we would prefer a female Dane cause we are Dane fanatics.After that post,i went outside with the dogs we had then,an ageing Dane female and a Fox terrier.While they were peeing and getting some fresh air,i was having a ciggy and thinking about getting a female Dane.I recall it was a cold night,about quarter past one in the morning.

As i looked towards my old Dane to call her,i noticed she was looking towards the corner of our house,and she chuffed in a curious but not aggresive way.I look to the corner of our house-and i see a young DANE peek around the corner..

I callled my dogs inside,and went to my window,and passed her some pizza out the window.Figured it was just a roaming dog belonging to someone in the vicinity because damn life is just not so accomodating,you know?

Well this time it was.Later in the morning,after sunrise,she is still outside our house.Turns out she was a stray dog,abandoned by her owner,out here in the Bush.One of the security guys at my hubby's work saw the loser dropping her off here.

She is a real sweetie,a fabulous dog..the synchronicity still gives me gooseflesh.The timing,you know? And even a Female Dane,Exactly what i was posting about wanting,on this site.And as i was sitting outside thinking further on it-a lovely young female Dane in desperate need of a loving home,peeks around the corner,and looks at me,a Dane fanatic thinking about her felt like high and grand magick,that moment

That was really nice. You got the dog you wanted!

It seems to happen ..when you don't try to find it..whatever "it" is? ...Heck I don't know ...but...these things happen a lot..we just don't hear about it ...or they seem to weird to talk about...

I remembered one of the other ones - I was chatting about cases with a coworker maybe 5 years back at the same sale, about how I'd notice that sometimes something so random (like a slowpoke driver being in front of me going only slow enough that I have to stop at a light while they go through) can lead to keeping me safe (in example: Car blew through the light, meaning I would have been hit). Well, later on I was told to put some small trinkets onto a table, and one of them turned out to be a stone with the word "Synchronicity" on it, which turned out to describe these experiences.

It's understandable that not many people would come out with these experiences, because most consider it coincidence or that they are going crazy.

Exactly..but there is something much grater going on...some of us think...what that is ..???

About four years ago the company I was working for was starting to slow down. Although it was unlikely I was going to be let go in the immediate future, I sent out resumes and went on some interviews.

I was hired by a very legitimate company that offered a nice salary/benefit package and I took the job.

Unfortunately, once I started I realized there were two MAJOR issues:

1) The type of work they wanted me to perform was NOTHING like what we discussed.

2) It was in a HORRIBLE geographic location. By the nature and definition of the project, it was NOWHERE NEAR public transportation and the car commute was horrific as well (but slightly better so I drove). I had to leave my house by 4:30AM each day and didn't make it back home until 7:30PM at night.

I quickly realized I had made a HORRIBLE decision and since it was a mult-year project, there was no end in sight. I really didn't know what to do. I don't recall a time in my life when I ever felt as desperate as I did during those first two weeks. I can only describe it as having a claustrophobic sensation.

To make things more difficult, our son was about five months old so I couldn't just quit. At the same time, the prospect of having to live that life for years was WAY beyond what I could handle.

Enter the synchronicity...

One day I was feeling even worse than usual and took a walk during my lunch break. I happened upon St. Elizabeth's Church. I entered and I prayed.

I wish I could tell you guys/gals that I prayed for the strength to persevere or that I prayed for guidance to help me navigate these troubled times....

But I didn't. I prayed so incredibly hard and BEGGED Him.... "Dear God... PLEASE JUST GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!! PLEASE!!!!"

As I left the church, just as I was leaving the doors, my cell phone rang and one of the jobs that I had previously interviewed for was calling me, asking me when I was available to fill out the paperwork for new hires.

Four years later and I'm still working for them.... and it's been the best job I've ever had.

Side Note: To this day, when I'm having a very rough day at work (and those are not scarce), I think about that brief time at the worst job I've ever had and I remind myself how fortunate I am.

Side Note 2: I'm not trying to spread gospel or anything. I'm just describing something that happened to me that, for the most part, I realize is just coincidence.... but it still makes me wonder to this day.

I know It's one of the most awesome things that ever happened in my life.And i mean it literally,i feel awe when i think of it,even years later.She was close to starving to death,too.She found us just in time.

Missing documents - know all about them. If it's not where it should be it's probably in one of the following places:

On the floor

Boss or co-worker's handbag

In the car (not necessarily your car)

Good luck

a reply to: berenike

LOL, It was found on the floor under a stand! So you were right!

my wife and i are connected. she had dreams about me when she was a little girl, before we met. when i was first introduced to her family, they all sat with mouths agape, realizing that i was identical to the man she had been having dreams about her whole life.

we pick up our phones right as a text from the other comes in.

if i am sitting here thinking about what we are having for dinner, i can pick up the phone to call her and the phone will ring. she will want to talk about dinner. this has happened the last 3 days in a row, actually.

i had to leave work one day with abdominal pain. managed to drive myself home, and the pain subsided once i got there. but i found my wife lying in bed writhing in pain from her diverticulitis. So i loaded her up and took her to the hospital.

I was travelling in Asia with a girl I was in love with. It was a tempestuous relationship and we split up in Northern Malaysia, finished, that was it, over, going our own ways.
She left heading back up through Thailand to Cambodia.

Two days passed and I missed her, so badly. I felt sick in my stomach and just wanted to be back with her so caught a bus into southern Thailand and an overnight train to Bangkok. This was in the 90's, we didn't have mobile phones and relied on internet cafes so my best bet was to get to Bangkok, email her there and make travel plans to find her in Cambodia.

I get to Bankok, catch a taxi to the general backpacker areas but stop at the first internet cafe. It was a huge place, maybe 100 PC's in rows, I took my seat, logged onto Hotmail, started my email of sorrow, paused, looked to my left, and three PC's down she turned and looked straight into my eyes.

It was like a film, we leapt from our seats and embraced passionately...and she had been in the middle of sending her first 'make-up' email to me.
Cheesy I know, but the absolute truth, and it blew me away!

...if she is a member of ATS (which I doubt) she will sooo know who grainofsand is after reading this! lol

Your story gave me a tear in my eye!!! A great moment!

a reply to: Krypto1

Just wanted to say I love this thread! I have seen others similar, but this is the newest I have found.
Loving all the stories so far here...
I know I have something to add here, but have to clear the cobwebs from My waking brain first!.
Syx...

Once while walking on a secluded beach in Mexico, Baja, I noticed an old woman, withered and wrinkled beyond description sitting in the sand a few yards in front of me. She motioned me to come closer; I thought," ok another beggar" and reached in my pocket for a few pesos and offered them to her; she waved my hand away and in broken English said "save them for your lover" ....later that night, sitting in a grungy bar on the outskirts of Sayulita, drinking Carta Blanca, I met my lover and gave her the pesos and a few more. The universe is full of surprises and mystery!!!
