A wierd thing happened to me today. I was in college, in my English class, and we are studying Macbeth. We were meant to annotate a certain scene, but due to various things I had not. During the lesson my teacher was asking students what parts they had annotated etc., and I got a sudden feeling to do something. I picked out a random sentence, 'We have scorch'd the snake, not kill'd it: She'll close and be herself', and started to write some stuff on it. Just as I had finished, I got asked by Miss to read out my annotation, I did, and she told the class that she was specifically looking for someone with that sentence. What I would like to know, is whether that is merely coincedence, or something else?

If it only happened once it can be coincidence.
You should try to do it more.
Then you know for sure

Synchronicity.....if you study it deeply......you will notice it more in your life...it may even open doors to the nature of the matrix....but that is from my personal experience...I found it funny...I wonder if your teacher is a telepath or you...
Also:
'We have scorch'd the snake, not kill'd it: She'll close and be herself',
Who scorched the snake and was it a snake and who is she and wha did she close....what does this sentence mean...and what does it mean to you?????
or am I getting to deep into the meaning of a mere coincidunce???

The sentence means that Macbeth, who says it to Lady Macbeth, has not killed the good inside of him, the good being the snake, and is worried that it will come back. But that has nothing to do with it really.
I am not telepathic, though I have tried it once or twice, and as far as I know my teacher isn't.

I find it a little strange than a college level english student would spell the world killed, "Kill'd". But I suppose I can let that go if you were making a direct shakespearian quote.
A good example of sychonicity is dreaming whilst sleeping in a car. Sometimes, just as you go over a bump, something will jump out at you in your dream, pefectly incorporating the jolt. How does your sleeping mind know you are coming to a bump in the road?

Insight, that IS a direct quote.
Can anyone help me learn more about sychonity?

Okay then. As far as sychronicity is concered, you should study Dream theory, read about other's dreams, and also theorhetical quantum physics.

Deepak Chopra's book, "The Spontaneous Fulfillment of Desire:Harnessing the Infinite Power of Coincidence" helped me.
You know, you could be telepathic without having any control of it. That's how I am. You try to do it and will most often be wrong. Then you just do it spontaneously somehow, without even realizing you are. It's kinda fun - you're lucky!
