Synchronicity-coined by Carl Jung, it describes "'temporally coincident occurences of acausal events'...it is the experience of having two (or more) things happen simultaneously in a manner that is meaningful to the person or people experiencing them, where that meaning suggests an underlying pattern. It differs from coincidence in that synchronicity implies not just a happenstance, but an underlying pattern or dynamic that is being expressed through meaningful relationships or events."
Apophenia-coined by Klaus Conrad, it is the "'unmotivated seeing of connections' accompanied by a 'specific experience of an abnormal meaningfulness'". Basically seeing something in nothing.
Very well, it is likely that I am just crazy. But aren't those just the neatest words?
