It could be that the DMT helped your mind make connections more easily so that when an event happens to play out just right, the connection that you already made is there to scream out, "hey, remember me?!?" I also remember hearing this neuroresearcher talking once about his theory on deja vu (or at least certain cases of deja vu) and that's that during the day there are sometimes almost like skips in the thought process that leave these blank sort of slates of memory and every now and then, an event will happen and will simultaneously fill in that blank memory spot, making it seem like you're remembering something, but it really only just happened.
Also, I know this isn't really what you're talking about, but a lot of times when I'm dreaming, I have a remarkable foresight, mainly because I think what's happening is I think of something and then it's instantly translated into action in the dream. Many times it'll be like I'll think, "man I hope x, y, and z don't happen" and surely enough every time I turn around: x, y and z are lookin me in the face. Can't begin to explain how many times that's happened.
You totally hit home there.
Actually, this is EXACTLY what Im talking about.

Word
I hope you're not doing an Alanis Morissette and mistaking coincidence and misfortune and bad timing for irony
She wrote an entire song listing events that were allegedly "ironic", but in actuality only a couple of them, and that's being generous, were actually ironic. Check out some of them:
"It's a black fly in your Chardonnay"
"It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take"
"A traffic jam when you're already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break"
NO IRONY WHATSOEVER. The only irony is that there is no irony in a song about irony.8)
I only mention this because "hoping" x,y & Z don't happen and then having them happen might be negative serendipity, or misfortune, or dark synchronicity if you like, but 'taint ironic.:shock:
Feel free to disregard or ignore this post entirely
. It's a silly pet peeve of mine, and is exacerbated by the french propensity for using the word "irony" as a quidproquo replacement for the word "sarcasm" - since I work in french and my GF is french, my tongue has holes in it from biting it all day long. So you semi-anonymous people are feeling the raw wind of my pent-up "irony" wrath.:twisted:
How ironic.
JBArk the silly old stickler (well not so old, ironically)
PS now that my rant is over, I can address the OP's question: the universe is indeed IRONIC!!
