A few little things have happened in the last few days. The very fact that not a lot on the personal fortean front has happened in the last year or so, just serves to underline a past but forgotten awareness of how such experiences seem to cluster. As if one goes through some kind of psychic "phases". Or at least close swarming of minor coincidences. .
I've mentioned two of these already on other threads but...
Last week I was telling a guest about the brash young American who stayed 18 months ago. Next day get a call from an unknown number. It was him.
Yesterday woke up and messaged a friend i had little contact with that he'd been in a dream , in which we were wondering how he was doing in a job interview. I mentioned "customs" had something to do with it. He replies he's leaving his current career next month for a new job on the trains. Got the offer on Thursday. Role is "senior customer host".
This afternoon, 2 minute walk from Tesco, I start singing Total Eclipse Of The Heart to myself for some unknown reason. Enter the supermarket to the strains of that song playing on the internal music system.
This evening the current guest, a paramedic, challenged me to try an age/balance test involving standing up from a sitting on the floor position by crossing my legs and not using my arms. I did so but simultaneously remembered....i had been thinking about that very same, very precise, very peculiar act earlier in the day! Simply in terms of remembering how i used to just casually do that in years gone by and wondering if i would still be flexible and agile enough to do so if were to try to these days.
It definitely feels - as it has in the past but not for a long time - that im passing temporarily through the uncanny corridor.
Does this happen to you?
