Now for some coincidences… and there are MANY.  And thank goodness, as I am not a firm believer in signs.  (As in I have trouble believing them when I receive them, and I think Patrick has trouble sending them.  He’s even asked my friend before for HER to send me a sign FROM HIM. Lol!  She says he’s pretty impatient when it comes to this, and he gets “angry” you might say at my overanalyzing everything all the time). I know that many people believe there are no coincidences; that coincidences are really signs begging us to pay attention. Personally, I DO believe that not all coincidences are signs from above.  Nonetheless, I notice them so much these days that I’ve decided to pay heed to the insistent little buggers.

But here are some coincidences that have been happening, and some themes that have been popping up in my dreams all my life; only it’s never “soaked in” until I started talking to my medium friend this past year.  I cannot even begin to express how helpful she’s been. We even discovered that Patrick had been bugging her months before we even started talking to each other.  Only, she had no clue who “Patrick” was at the time – and I never saw her post. 
(She posted a “Who is Patrick” thread on a forum we both visited at the time).

Anyway… first coincidence involves a dream I had about the Scottish actor Gerard Butler.  (He played The Phantom, and I LOVE this guy!!!  I suspect that one reason I love GB so much is that in some way he must – subconsciously – remind me of Patrick. His personality that is.  In fact, I’m pretty sure that’s why b/c of a dream my friend
(and myself) had of Patrick – in disguise once again – as Gerry Butler.  Then top that off with another dream we both had, and some weird happenings on the computer… which I’ll explain later.
Gerry Butler/Patrick Dream I had this summer:

- It was nighttime and I was walking along a sidewalk outside a strip of shopping centers. I saw Gerry walking toward me, but knew he’d never stop for me. But once he did reach me, he pivoted and began walking with me. I wrapped my arm around his waist, and he wrapped his around my shoulder I think. He never spoke a word. Just smiled down at me. When I looked up into his face I knew he wasn’t really Gerry, but Patrick. I could tell by the eyes. Also, his smile was very "unearthly" you might say. Very serene and otherworldly. The best way I can describe it is like "Faramir" in the Houses of Healing scene in the movie “Return of the King,” when he sees Eowyn for the first time.  The smile was sort of ‘haunting’ – pardon the pun.

I looked up at him and couldn’t help but tell him that he had
“THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BLUE EYES.”

After that, we walked inside a Target store. I know it was a Target because the counters were red. Once we entered the store, he immediately separated from me. “Gerry” ambled directly to a cashier to pay for something. (What, I’m not sure seeing as I never saw the man shop for anything.  I didn’t even see an item in his hand).

*~* 2 days later I visited GB’s website. I normally just check the updates thread. I don’t even open the thread unless it’s been updated. But that day I decided to check all the new posts for a change. One of the first posts was a Phantom of the Opera vid someone did on August 1, 2005. It was updated that day; May 1st one entire year later. It was titled “POTO vid – IF YOU SAY MY EYES ARE BEAUTIFUL. *~*
How’s THAT for a coincidence?! When I told Mom about the store in my dream being a Target, she instantly said – “Bulls eye.” I never thought of that, but there has to be a reason for the store in the dream being a Target.  I guess it just symbolized that I was “right on target” that Gerry in the dream was really Patrick, or that Gerry and Patrick’s personalities are similar.
