Intro, dreaming, numbers
Posted: Thu Feb 24, 2011 8:25 pm
Hello everyone! I joined today but it has been months since my computer had the forum bookmarked. Today I felt compelled to look through the forum and decided to join. I found the link through a Facebook page that also has people discussing the 11:11 phenomenon. I am enjoying reading some of the other members' experiences and I hope to participate right alongside with all of you in this forum.
I've been experiencing a number of things through the past few years, starting mostly with 11:11, around early 2008 or so. In that year, I felt like I woke up feeling like a different person and had suddenly different feelings for someone that I loved, as well as finding someone else to be with (who is now my husband). I also felt like I was feeling differently about the world and the society that I lived in, but the differences were not as intense as that of my feelings in my personal life.
I thought seeing 11:11 was more of a numerology thing and for a while, I only abided by what some numerology sites were saying. I would often see the numbers on clocks, watches, or cell phones, as it has been for many people, but then I'd start seeing and hearing of them randomly in other places, like on paper or when I was around children that liked to mention the times we'd see 1:11 or 11:11 so that they would know to make a wish. I would like to mention that during high school, I already started to become curious about things like life after death and astral projection. Perhaps, not the best, but a number of my family members have always had a belief that the dead can contact us and that within our dreams, we have seen our dead relatives and spoken with them. Also, in high school, my school id was 2223, which I thought was a wild number since when you count the number of letters in my name (this is before I got married), I had 9, 6, 6, 6 for each part of it, and to me, multiplying each part of my school id by 3 would yield the number combination of my name backwards. Anyway, I digress. This is probably an entirely different topic that we can talk about in the near future, if any one is interested.
Getting back to 2008: also around early 2008, I started to have some vivid dreams with people I either knew or recognized, but for some of those people I could not name or remember where I saw them. These dreams are not consistent but for years, in general, I have had very strange dreams and sometimes I turn them into stories if I felt very strongly about them.
One dream in early 2008 that stood out had my ex-boyfriend's grandmother in it, who had passed away in December 2007 around Christmas, and my grandmother, who passed away in January 2008 three days before my birthday then. This dream stands out even more than other ones because the same night, my ex-boyfriend's mother and youngest sibling, his sister, also dreamed of their family member. We all dreamed about her in different contexts and with different appearances, though the most common conception we had was that she appeared to be young and healthy again. My apologies ahead of time about this recounting of the dream, I don't remember writing it down to record but I am writing of this dream because I chose to remember a few things about it and to this day, I can still remember particular bits as a result.
My dream of her took place in a combination of places: their house in the living room, dining room, and kitchen, and a hall where there were many meeting. I saw that she was alive again and cooking and we had a chat, which was brought over to the living room. In the living room, there was good light and I was face to face with her, better than where we were in the kitchen and the dining room. I saw that she, indeed, was younger and healthier - strong and filled out again in figure. She was wearing pink. She sounded the same But, most of all, what struck me odd about her was her eyes- they were completely black. I am very unsure as to how I felt about her while in the dream, but in any case, while we spoke, the living room changed and behind me, what should have been a wall was melting away and through the house, it appeared that relatives were flying by, almost like how you might think about the way the characters flew in the story of Peter Pan. I recognized a cousin of mine, but he is around my age and still alive, and appeared to be so, still.
I don't remember how we got to the hall- I think we probably just appeared there. It looked like a lecture hall that you might find in a college. There were people gathering around. I was still accompanied (or was I accompanying?) by my ex-boyfriend's grandmother when my own grandmother appeared with my mother there beside her. I can't remember if she was alive or if she passed away already by the time this dream happened, but I know I was affected by when the dream had come about concerning her death. All four of us stand together and my grandmother introduces my mother while I am introduced by my ex-boyfriend's grandmother. Then I woke up.
Anyway, it is now 2011 and though I don't get to see 11:11 as frequently as before, I think it is okay since I feel that, for now, I am where I am supposed to be, doing what I am supposed to be doing. For that I am glad. I hope to get to know you all better! Much love to you.

I haven't had a dream yet involving my passed on relatives but I have had odd dreams where I have been sitting in a lecture hall and have had board members be there too as well as other people that I do not recognize. I can never remember the details though... things like what we were listening to or receiving. At least not with most of them.
Not sure if it's enlightenment, but according to my past zen buddhism professor, people experience enlightenment multiple times and it could be very small things in the first place!
