'feel like' expressions: is the meaning always 'have a desire for'

[Emmaprad]

Hi everybody,

it's Emma. I have a new question. Could anybody help me?

Does the expression "to fell like" always mean "have a desire for"?

the meaning could be also "I have a feeling that" or it cound't?

the phrases involved are:

"I really feel like the Coen brothers are like the Mercury Theater Company."

"I feel like we all kind of know people like Philip, or have known people like Philip in our lives.

thank you for helping me!
