Here is a true life example of the phenomenon of meaningful coincidence. After you read the story, you will see that the image of a little girl in a red coat meant something to Judge Gavriel Bach that it would not necessarily have meant to anyone else in the courtroom, including poor Dr. Martin Földi, the man who told the story.

Synchronicity: The meaning of the coincidence is in the person experiencing it and not in the outer world. It is a subjective experience with an impact so undeniable it is as if the very hand of God reached out and tapped you on the shoulder.
Something that is synchronous and meaningful to you will not necessarily be for me. This is a personal and subjective experience. This is one reason why it is better not to talk about this things to people who don't understand. It goes a little flat.
We understand that language and communication are intended to get you what you want in life ("pass the butter, please"), not to describe transendental experiences. Come to someone like me to explain them. I'll understand ;-)
