Weird coincidences happening?

I've always had these weird coincidences happen every once in a while. Like, I've suddenly thought of a movie, and a couple of minutes later there'll be an ad for it on tv saying it'll be on some channel this weekend (and trust me, I didn't see the ad before, it was the first time I'd seen it). Thats happened about 3 times. There was this one time I was in yr 6 and I was thinking about that movie 'Sharkboy and Lavagirl' then I heard the classroom next door to us put it on and start watching it. Then today, I was thinking about a Christmas present for my friend, and I thought about how much she loved The Lion King, so I wanted to buy a stuffed toy Simba (she already owns the movie so I thought of something she didn't have), but I didn't think there were any Simba toys, until I read a Big W magazine and there was a Simba pillow pet in there. I swear I'd never seen catalogue before then. Does this ever happen to anybody else?
