Hello from a curious 11:11er
Posted: Sun Nov 24, 2013 10:21 pm
I made a tweet about 11:11 a few days ago and it was just favorited by this site. I came to check it out. I posted about this phenomenon on another board I frequent. Some folks experience similar things like 11:11, 12:34, their birthdays or streetlights going out. Interesting stuff. Most think it's the subconscious placing importance on it, then having your internal clock alert you to it.
My dad and I both tend to notice 11:11 or 1:11 a lot, and have for some time. We refer to 11:11 as 4 aces. I have been noticing it a LOT more recently. As a kid, I remember noticing 4:44 a lot. Not so much anymore. I also noticed 5:15 a lot. It is my birthday, and my dad says he looked at the clock when I was born and it was 5:15pm on 5/15. Sorta odd from the beginning! Haha
My recent occurences have become more common in the last 2-3 weeks. Usually, it's glancing at the time on the DVR, car radio, clock on laptop or work computer, or cell phone. It's happened at home, work, at restaurants, and even in church last week. Last week, I went with a coworker to lunch. My bill was $11.xx and they gave me the little flag for my order and it was #11. Even the cashier's voice inflected when he said, "Your total is $11.xx and your order number is...eleven. I honestly didn't notice till my coworker pointed it out. Now I know to look for it in more places than a clock.
I have always felt like I had an ability that I wasn't able to tap into. In HS, I had a dream of a basketball scoreboard with teams and the final. It just flashed in my mind's eye. Next day, the game was part of March Madness and it finished with that score. Another dream 10 or so years ago was eerie. Was talking to a girl online for awhile. Felt a connection with her (I.e. a crush). Had a dream that she was playing volleyball and hurt her leg or foot, and was in a lot of pain while helped off the court. Next evening I told her about the dream, and she said she had sprained her ankle in the game the night before and was carried off. She didn't believe me that I had dreamt it. Thought I was a stalker and was there. Haha
Another time, had a dream about a man looking for his son in a creepy forest. He turns a corner and is in our hallway. Walks down the hallway, turns another corner, and bumps into his son back in the forest. Next morning, my mom asked if I heard footsteps in the hallway the night before. That was a little unnerving.
I'm rambling now. Sorry. Just wanted to see people's thoughts and say hello.
