Not sure where to put this.

OK throughout my life, people say things, or I see something, or hear something, And then usually the same day, someone I know talks about it, or i see it in something, or Maybe I even learn about it. E.x. I was reading a post about lithium, or potassium, which, coincidentally, I just learned about those in school this morning, Could this be linked to psionics?

It has been happening to me a lot.

Example, my girlfriend likes Gilmore Girls a lot, and there's an episode where a dude just keeps saying Escrot (or something like that, when he buys a house). Days later, I go see Evan Almighty, and there they go " Say Escrooot"... And a lot of things similar.

no it's not. It's one of those things that happen.

You learn about something, or you hear something a lot, or you just like the sound of a word, so the next time you hear it you will pick it out of the context and notice it being there more. If you think about the way you go through the world you'll see that you don't take notice of a lot of things really, when people talk to you, you don't pick out every word and analyse them, you probably don't even analyse the sentence consciously. Your subconscious gives it a meaning and that's what you get fed back to you, just the concept. A good example is the 26 complex, like in the movie, people think the number 26 is everywhere and so they find it everywhere.

As a rule we only notice things that catch the interest of our conscious mind. The rest we just glaze over. It's not psionics, but it's still quite interesting.

Couldn't have said this any better.
I remember a martial arts instructor saying things about awareness. One thing is that when his wife got pregnant he started seeing pregnant people everywhere. Not because there was more pregnant woman, he just noticed them more. As he also noticed diapers, childrens toys etc.

Its also 23 not 26 =P I had a friend who saw the movie and basiclly everyone who sees that movie starts seeing 23 everwhere because just as we said before.

like when i watched the first episode of fairly odd parents, and the ninja bunnies threw carrots at timmy and cosmo said its more than your daily recomended amount of carotien,
i learned about carotien the day before

What about when you go somewhere specific, just say a building you've never been before, and you're standing in a certain spot looking at a certain image (view of a room or something), and at that exact moment, you feel like you've been there before or seen that same image. And someone may even say something to you at that moment which you may have known was going to happen, but you don't realize it unitl it happens. ?? I think some people call this deja vu? What is it really?

[stolide]

That's deja vu or precognition.

[dangrousdave20]

So is there any way to maybe control that? And be able to see these images clearly enough to know what they are and when they will occur?

[stolide]

Yes If you want me to help you I can try, just pm me and I tell you what I know that might help.
