Free will is designed to allow us to make the decision which our higher selves already know we will make, though the choice may appear spontaneous to us while in the illusion.

I really enjoy how you put this, and the parts you leave out. :-) The last thing you do before you reincarnate is select and then execute the plan. This is done after you become aware of your true nature. Before you become aware of your true nature, you must reconsile yourself with the choice. Reconsiling with the choice is serious. I guess you could call it tough love. Making and executing the agreed upon plan is actually one of the best parts of the whole experience. It's one of the funny parts, because at that moment you know that you are going to be the star actor in the next big blockbuster movie hit, and you won't even know it.
I guess my issue with coincidence is that the answer is more complicated than the question demands. In my experience, coincidence/novelty/odd circumstance, is like my higher self telling me "get ready for the next big scene coming up" but from behind the camera lights, and I'm not sure where the "voice" is coming from. From my "now" perspective, it is part of the movie (illusion).... but where did that voice come from?

This is the scary part. What do you think presses us to ignore it? Why do we have such a hard time believing in it, and getting over whatever is stopping us?
