Was taking an undergrad psych class. Teacher asked if we had any odd dreams. I mentioned that I had a dream where I was standing in a circle or benevolent strangers with my gf at the time. The song "brown eyed girl" was playing and then suddenly stopped. My gf and I turn to each other in surprise with a general "huh?" and the dream ends. The class has a fun time telling me I have a fear of commitment etc, we have a laugh and move on to the next person's dream story.

That weekend, I visit my gfs college, we attend a huge bonfire. Ton of people gathered around. There's a band. They sarcastically start playing brown eyed girl as a joke, as it was way off for their vibe, and then stop the song and make a joke. My gf and I turn to each other as if we were wanting them to play the whole song and we were surprised they stopped.

Then I freaked out! What made it wild was the fact I had shared the story a few days prior to my class.

I went back the next week and had to tell the class about the event. The professor was like "you have a gift"...

Ah, community college...
