Have you ever had words & phrases seem to "jump off the page" at you?

Question

I don't mean "literally"...I mean your eyes seem to be drawn to them more than any other words? (If it's happened to you....then you know what I mean.)It used to happen to me a lot...but hasn't happened in a long time. What do you think causes this to happen?

Answer 1

This happens to me a lot when I stare at the screen too long.

Answer 2

That happens to me all the time. I love it. I think it happens because its different to you and it makes you really think about something, another reason it may is because it might relate to your life in a way. Theres millions of reasons.

Answer 3

well if your a christian , the holly spirit , does that , when He wants us to see something important

Answer 4

..it happens, Deenie.

Answer 5

Sure.  It happens when I do crosswords too.  At first it's just a jumble of letters, then as I pick words out of the jumble the connection is made that can't be erased.  They are no longer individual letters, but a connected string.

Answer 6

Well yes, our brains are really good at looking for patterns and for selecting objects out of a chaotic field of information.

We also have times when we are blind to something we are looking for.

Like when you can not find your keys even though they are sitting on the counter right in front of you.
