I don't think I've experienced Synchronicity myself, but here are a few famous occurences:

A well-known example of synchronicity is the true story of the French writer Émile Deschamps who in 1805 was treated to some plum pudding by the stranger Monsieur de Fortgibu. Ten years later, he encountered plum pudding on the menu of a Paris restaurant, and wanted to order some, but the waiter told him the last dish had already been served to another customer, who turned out to be de Fortgibu. Many years later in 1832 Émile Deschamps was at a diner, and was once again offered plum pudding. He recalled the earlier incident and told his friends that only de Fortgibu was missing to make the setting complete — and in the same instant the now senile de Fortgibu entered the room.

During production of The Wizard of Oz, a coat bought from a second-hand store for the costume of Professor Marvel was later found to have belonged to L. Frank Baum, author of the children's book upon which the film is based.

British rockers Pink Floyd

One night during production of the Pink Floyd album Wish You Were Here, the band was working on the song Shine On You Crazy Diamond about their former bandmate Syd Barrett, whom they had not had contact with in several years. They did not pay any special notice when during the recording a bald-headed stranger came into the studio and started watching them. They later found out that this stranger was Syd Barrett, whose appearance had changed dramatically.

The "The Wizard of Oz" and Pink Floyd are also part of the alleged Dark Side of the Rainbow synchronicity. Dark Side of the Rainbow (also known as Dark Side of Oz) is a perceived effect created by listening to the 1973 Pink Floyd concept album "The Dark Side of the Moon" while watching the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz for moments where the film and the album appear to correspond with each other. The title of the music video-like experience comes from a combination of the album title The Dark Side of the Moon and the film's song "Over the Rainbow." Whether this was an accident or it was planned is unknown - though Pink Floyd themselves say it WASN'T intentional. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Side_of_the_Rainbow

Cool! nice story about it.

That sort of stuff happens all the time for me... its kinda fun and a complete mystery.

Synchronicity is something very interesting, i would love it being investigated more.

Anyway, i connect it to fate, or manifestation of thought. something like that lol happy.gif

I don't know if this is Synchronicity or not but I'll tell you what I found. First, I've nevered heard of synchronicity before
I read your artical on July 1. I found it interesting, what does the number 11 have to do with it?
Now for my story. On that same night, I put in a cd of the 1950's si-fi "Plan 9 from outer space," and watched it in bed.
Bela Lugosi died while making the movie and stand in took his place. The actor would cover his face the same way Lugosi
did in his "Dracula" movies, so no one would discover the change in actors. Now my cd showes the theatrical trailers before
the movie starts, this is the good part, Mr.Lugosi's stand-in is standing in a darkened room directly in front of a lamp, the shadows cast
Bat like wings behind the actor playing Lugosi!
Lugosi is famous for turning into a bat in his Dracula movies! During the movie the room is much brighter, but the effect is still there!

Oxymoron

I am a strong believer in Synchromicity, but it takes skill to notice it. For example I notice I meet the person I was just thinking about, or get the phone call at just the right moment. Or some piece of news before I make a desicion. It does not happen everytime and I dont notice sometimes but it trully exist their is river if we follow the flow we will achieve our Kharma, if not we wont be a happy camper.
