What is going on here?

[Just Dreaming]

I could get a random thought of a guy on a unicycle.. and later that day or the next, I'll see a guy riding down the sidewalk on a unicycle! Whatever I would randomly think about, would eventually manifest shortly after. It used to blow my mind but it started happening so often that it doesn't too much anymore. HOWEVER, when I try to do this purposely now, it doesn't work. Why is that and how am I doing this?

By trying to consciously and purposefully do it you are putting an emphasis on an outcome which sabotages your manifestation.

I guess it's selective attention, but that's only my guess.

The answer lies somewhere in between and that's all I can say about that.

Edit: I say that because as soon as you try to figure it out, it goes away.

I'm sure there are lots of thoughts you have that don't manifest. But you're right that if you have an unusual thought and then it happens, there's something going on. Though, then you should ask how unusual does it have to be to manifest? And, how long do you have to wait?

Another way to look at things is the triangle of causation. Call your thought A. Call the event B. Call god C. By "god" I would mean some unknown supernatural cause. So here are all the potential scenarios:

A causes B (magick)

B causes A to happen (clairvoyance)

C causes both A and B to happen (god, but A and B are actually independent)

The explanation of synchronization is law of attraction. Law of attraction is actually a physical law like law of gravity.. not just a law of the mental world . 
norice this in your experience: if your mind is occupied by a specific person .. let’s say someone you love so much like your role model or a girl you have a crush on .. then you start getting dreams about that person so often . 
if you are so obsessed about buying a Toyota car you will start seeing Toyota cars down the street everywhere . 
there is only one explanation for why such phenomena happens :  thinking about a specific thing too often literally attracts it to your life . Thoughts become matter and enter into law of gravity which is a physical law ..not a woo woo law .
