Hello /lit/, is there a name for the feeling that you get when you read about something specific recently and by what seems more than coincidence you happen to come across the same thing in some random situation? It's similar to deja vu of course, but in this case you actually have known about it in the past and just find it odd that this situation/thing shows up randomly?

That was quick. /lit/ is based, thank you. Synchronicity/frequency illusion is just what I was looking for. While I'm at it, is there a book you can recall where this is somewhat related or maybe even the main plot device?

I'm pretty sure every half decent detective novel ever has this to a small degree; although the randomness is debatable.
