Synchronicities, disappearing objects and déjà vu

Synchronicities, disappearing objects and déjà vu

It happens to just about everyone. A small item such as a set of keys, a coin, a card, an earring or a pen is knocked off a surface. It's assumed that object has landed on the floor where it can be easily found. Maybe it caught some air and drifted a few feet away. Maybe it bounced and could even be heard heading in a certain direction. When you bend down to grab it, it's nowhere to be found. You get down on your hands and knees. You look under the chair, under the table, in the vent, under the nearby rug, in the cat's water dish. But it's gone. Inexplicably, unbelievably, frustratingly gone. The item might reappear at a later time. Or simply vanish from your life forever. This is referred to as "Disappearing Object Phenomenon."
