I remembered a few more specific instances of weird parrallelism, for no reason or cause and I want to share them here to see what you all think and maybe to help me remember later. 

Quick background - in high school I had a serious boyfriend/best friend, we were together for 5 years and felt like we were soulmates, although growing up ultimately got the best of us and we felt ourselves "grow apart".  I would have liked to have stayed friends forever, but that didn't seem to suit his personality.  We haven't been in contact for almost 2 decades, and none of my friends have any contact with him.  All I know about him I have gathered from random, intermittent (a few times a year, at best) internet searches. 

So, there are two key events that I can confirm.  I have often felt a spiritual affinity for/to him. In most cases this is impossible to confirm since we are completely out of each other's lives.  I have tried to record the few, rare times I have had dreams with him (usually providing me comfort or reassurance kindly), but these two events are different.  One was in 2010. A specific date that is just a quirky fun number on the calendar.  I was giving my son a stuffed animal, one that my former boyfriend's grandmother had made for me.  We used to help fix up and paint her house, so I knew her well.  On that day, I thought, hmmm, he has no interest in me, but I wonder what his grandmother would think of me now.  A few days later, I googled him, and saw that his grandmother had died on the day I was wondering about her (noted because of the distinct, quirky date).  So, that is not "intution" since there was no pattern at all to follow!  So, what would we call that? Spiritual connection?  Was she, in her spirit form, "poking" me on the shoulder and I was receptive to it, maybe?

Another event, split into two.  Same guy, again more with his family than with him.  In high school I considered his family my "second" family, and their home my second home.  I felt close to his parents, as much as a teenager can I guess, and I loved their house!  Well, not too many years ago, I looked up their house on zillow, for the first time.  I don't remember now where I got the idea or where the whim came from, but it turned out that had just been posted for sale.  It was wonderful! I got to look through pictures of the house and it made me so happy.  Then I kept track for a few weeks, occassionally, til I saw that it was removed from the listing.  Then I didn't look again for months.  Ultimately, about a year later I checked again and saw that it was for sale again, and this time it sold quickly.  I can chalk the second check to intuition, it was spring and a common time for house listing, but the first one?  Seems pretty unlikely to get that timing right, and there I can't imagine him or his folks challenging my energy at all, like maybe his grandma did. And I still somewhat regret not saving some of those pictures, but only somewhat!  :) 

So, what do you think? Is this "psychic" or something else?  What else could it be and I'd like to figure out how can I understand it better?  Any thoughts?
