Are omens simple coincidence or not?

The connection might only be there at an unconscious level.

So how do you know whether it's a true omen, or just your subconscious trying to give you evidence for what it wants?

I think they can be one in the same. I think that in most cases that the mystical/spiritual aspects of omens work their way through the unconscious mind because one's initial reaction is typically a powerful, visceral shock. One doesn't know why one is reacting so strongly to the sign presented them. Only after the initial shock comes the analysis of the omen.

Either way, omens are never simple coincidences. They're always unusual, even if one is skeptical of them. It'll still make skeptics say, "Well, yeah, it was sort of weird..."

That, my friend, was a good discussion :)
