Have any other practicing Occultists noticed light poles flickering/turning

Always happens to me but I don't practice occultism.

I've turned this into almost a form of divination. There's one right outside my house that always turns on or off during seemingly significant moments. I use context to interpret what it means.

You remember when it happens because you think it's important. You don't remember when it doesn't happen because you don't consider it important. So when you think about these memories, it seems that there is an uncanny set of coincidences when the data set was created from your selective memory.

The same principle is behind seeing repeated numbers often (also, check 'em) and pretty much anything coincidental. This is why we have science: to more precisely pin things down to try to pick apart causation and correlation through quantification and measurement.

Certain types of street lights have motion sensors to turn them off when a car or person passes under them...for increased visibility for drivers, I believe. I used to be fascinated by the apparent phenomenon until somebody burst my bubble, as I am now doing to you. Sorry OP but it had to happen

A dog will bark at its reflection thinking its another dog. The difference between you and a dog is that the dog eventually figures out it's an illusion. So I have to ask: what is it like to be dumber than a dog?

Notice that I did mention confirmation bias in my OP. It is an interesting phenomenon regardless.
