Synchronicity
"Synchronicity" is a term used to describe events that happen more or less at the same time that seem to have an uncanny connection. In some ways, synchronicity is similar to coincidence. Today I experienced such a synchronicity.
I belong to a local group that explores such topics as dowsing, alien forces, shamanism, and the like. The speaker today was discussing how "dowsing" (similar to pendulum work) could be used to answer questions on a variety of topics, including the sources of one's allergic reactions. Using this method, she discovered that she was allergic to "wasp dust." At first, she felt this didn't make sense, for wasps live outside, not in the house. Then she found that the wasps had indeed found a way to enter her house, and thus they were the cause of her distress.
Now, this would be just another interesting story except for the fact that last night I had, for no obvious reason, dreamt that there was in fact a wasps' nest in my house. This dream (just a brief flash really) had no known cause and was unique in my experience. It was another instance where the "cart" (my dream flash) seemed to come before the "horse" (her talk). It seemed like a playful reminder from the universe that things are not as cut and dried as the rational mind might suppose.
