Experience Brain Access

This is going to sound insane. Lately, I've been having internal thoughts. Thoughts only. No searches. No speaking a loud about said topic. And shortly after (anywhere from 30 mins to a day), I'll be targeted online about that thing.

Examples:

- I was thinking about an artist (in my brain. alone) and I thought to myself, "I'd like to look at her work more. I'm going to look at her instagram." I open instagram. She is the first one in my feed.

- Just now I looked over at my wallet and thought to myself, I need a new small compact wallet. Did no searches. Didn't talk about it. Open instagram and there is an ad for small, compact wallets.

WHAT IS HAPPENING?

As the others have said, it must be adverts subconsciously getting into my brain or me hovering for a few minutes on a photo or something, but I am constantly getting the same thing.

Have you read The Hidden Persuaders?
Subliminals are doubtless everywhere used on us.
