a reversed instance of phone reading my mind?
sorry in advance for this lengthy post...
so much of my life has felt wildly sychronistic & divinely guided. i have always been aware of strong strings of moments of extra synchronistic occurences, usually lasting a few days to a week when they are constant. you know all the classics, think of a word & someone says it on the radio the next second.. think of someone random & they call the next day after 20 years.. things of that sort. & then of course the whole thing of something random & it pops up on the phone or reddit within the day. even this morning i open reddit & within 10 seconds i see a frog in a toilet that someone can't seem to flush down... well last night before bed i *almost* asked my husband if he ever had a frog show up in his toilet as a kid... i didn't end up asking him but wtf... so random right?
okay well please explain this one to me... i will do my best to give context..
many years ago now, i was involved in the local music scene of a particular genre that was thriving in my home city. there was one well known artist who i would see a lot, as he had many different projects by himself & with other artists on the scene as well. one night at a show, i was talking with him & he said he would be hosting an open mic that saturday & i should come out early & hang. i was stoked!! felt like it could have been the beginning of something between us, as we had known eachother thru friends over the years & i was someone who loved all of his musical artistry & went to all the shows, not just the one version of his music that was what people knew him for.. sometimes there was just a few of us there supporting, because most people didn't know or appreciate his other music artistry. most people only wanted the music he had made himself known for.
the open mic was at a small club on "Dale street"
that saturday morning arrived & i woke up to the news that he had passed away that morning.... it was a huge deal. people who loved him & his music talked a tizzy about it for days & weeks. i was absolutely crushed because, well i was really hoping to get to know him more & he would be so greatly missed, leaving behind so much meaningful music to be cherished.
i still went to the open mic that night & it had turned into a tribute to him, but honestly not that many people that were there even knew who he was or how well known & loved he was. i sang one of his lesser known acoustic songs (terribly) but i just felt i had to do it.
once he passed, i could barely listen to his music anymore, it made me sad at that point & it took awhile to move on.
i moved states for awhile, building a life by myself & eventually met my now husband, who grew up only 15 mins from me in my homestate & that is a whole story in itself..
okay so we decided to move back to our home state three years ago now. a place where a lot has happened & has been spotlighted for more than a few reasons this past year. it was like a collective fear drive all winter long, esspecially into 2026, where i was unconciously allowing the fear drive to take hold of my nervous system in a way that nearly broke me. so... in that breaking stage, synchronicities really started ramping up. i also began listening to his music again.. of course it all sounded new like music does as we change thru time & wisdom & experiences. i was enjoying it so much & also re grieving all of it again, from a new place. it was healing for sure.
one night, with his music stuck in my head for days, i was curious if the open mic that he was supposed to host was mentioned somewhere online still, i didn't remember the name of the club so i typed into my phone "dale street open mic" along with the date that it was held. nothing came up, which wasn't suprising because it was a very small club & didn't really market the open mic or anything. okay whatever. i remember thinking "never been to dale street since that open mic" or something like that.
so, maybe a day or two later, my friend who i haven't seen since moving back to home state reaches out & says she will be coming my way (we live 3 hours apart) & would love to see me for breakfast, so i told her to pick a spot & i would be there!!
i would have to drive an hour or so to see her in the city no matter where she picked. so she picks a cafe which i look up on google, & guess what? its on dale street! i am like wtf of course it is... silly simulation... so i go meet up with her the next morning & we are catching up on like 6 years of not seeing each other.
at one point i had to pee, so i got up & walked thru this very small narrow cramped loud busy restaurant & squeeze thru an aisleway between tables to get to the bathroom. just as i am grabbing the bathroom door handle, amongst all the loud chatter in this place i hear a woman talking to her table & i caught the words "open mic down the street from here". i didn't turn to look or stop my trajectory into the bathroom but i shut the door & couldn't believe wtf i just heard as i had just decided to head to the bathroom at this random moment. i sat on the toilet like am i fucking losing it or something? i open my phone to see my search still in the search list from 2 nights prior. "open mic dale street oct ____"
so like something i had searched came into reality in some way instead of the other way around?
sure, i have no idea what open mic this lady was talking about, but literally i was on dale street & then just happened to hear that woman say that? i didn't even know how to tell my friend about it.. tho i did meet with another friend after that who knew my history & totally thought it was as weird as i did.
from this point, i have had so many awakenings & shatterings & layers peeling back... i believe that this particular moment was preparing myself for what intense "psychic" intuitive events were coming just around the corner in april & beyond. i have been learning to trust my "am i going crazy or was that insanely personally weird" moments.. & since then the messages & inner clarity have been non stop yall... i have also untethered myself from the fear drive illusion that we are purposefully being kept in. my soul knows better, i see signs everywhere & in everything every day now. strange threads that feel so personal, but are just my inner wisdom & awareness preparing for the mystery of what is next. i am feeling called towards something that has shown me clarity, power & purpose after a life of feeling hopeless, helpless & just waiting for this cruel existance to end already.
i have soo much more to say but this is way more than i intended as is... if you even read this far.. has this ever happened to you?
tl/dr : i searched for a very specific "dale street open mic" from 10 years prior, ended up meeting my friend on that very street for breakfast two days later & heard a lady say "open mic down the street" as i went to the bathroom. the search of "dale street open mic" was still fresh in my phone.
