(un)common experiences?

There are probably dozens of experiences that are trivial and hardly mentioned but which some of us probably share and feel the same way about them. Usually it takes someone to casually mention them and there will be an ensuing chorous of consensus and nodding of heads.

Just the other day when i was in a friend's car, i was sufficiently engaged by the music playing on Class95 to remark thus: It's always like this: whenever i'm in someone's car, there's always good music playing on the radio, but when i'm at home sitting at my desk and doing my work, the music that's playing is just bad. My friend concurred, while J, sitting at the back of the car, added that for her, she gets 'bad' music whenever she is the driver; but while on others' car, it's always the opposite case. I also recall making the same observation to another friend when we were walking in some shop once where the music that the radio station was playing was just consistently great. And my friend readily agreed with me. I guess i'm just not the only one who feels that way.

Another example which i didn't check with anyone: bizarre dreams made during fitful sleep in the morning which upon your waking up you wonder if you were actually semi-conscious or fully conscious when you were dreaming of them. Sometimes there are dreams that i'd just made whose 'scenarios' are so familiar, so surreal that i almost am certain that that was not the first time i'd dreamt of them. It's almost as if i was transported into the same setting over and again, that as i am dreaming of them, i know what's going to happen, how the 'plot' is going to play out, which are the corners that i am going to turn to; that i am a reluctant character who is destined to go through the same fate every time the dream is made. And always, these are dreams which are neither pleasant nor frightful; they are just odd and probably inexplicable - bizarre, in short. Then there are others which invariably surprise you - you dream of certain acquaintances or friends whom you're barely keeping in touch with. And still there are those which are short and weird, which you made them probably all in the span of the same time, one after another, like a series of short films that you see in continuous mode. Maybe there is some physiological explanation to all that, i don't know.

It's always intertesting to talk to people, listen to them sharing their experiences. That's when you realise people are bound to one another in an inexplicable number of ways, all in the realm of human experience and thought.
