messages in the clouds

[nnmartin]

At times I've felt like I've seen faces in the clouds, like after a death for example.

Perhaps there is some spiritual communion going on there. I guess it probably even has a name - Nubism?

anyone else feel this way or have any info on it - I know I could easily do a google search but would rather just connect with a real person on the forum.

It does have a name -- Pareidolia -- the perception of significant images or sounds in random data. This is a type of Apophenia -- the perception of false patterns or connections in random data.

so you think it's a bit like reading tea leaves then?

More like seeing Jesus in a tortilla.
