Hello. I'm new to this forum and glad I found it because I wanted to know if this happens to anyone else. EVERY DAY about 2-3 times a day I will happen to look at the clock and see tripple-digit numbers. Here is a list of all the times I happen to look at the clock.

1:11
2:22
3:33
4:44
5:55
11:11

It's really bothering me as to why I'm seeing the time at those hours. Like I said, it's daily... at least two times a day and up to 4 times a day.

I've been seeing 1:11 a bit recently, i even found myself posting on another 11:11 thread at exactly 1:11 how strange is that lol !

The other thread currently open about this topic is here http://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/forum...showtopic=75338




From http://www.spiritual-path.com/numerology.htm

Numbers are our creation, therefore they signify absolutely nothing. I'm sure you've looked at the clock thousands of times but have conveniently forgotten the 15.34 pm's etc. We only ever remember the memorable things in life that point to phenomena, it's stand to reason 11.11 or 12.12 will raise an eyebrow.

I agree.

The mind also actively recognizes and memorizes patterns. It's far more likely that you will remember seeing, for example, 3:33 than it is that you'll remember seeing 5:24. The mind will discard 5:24 because it is a random assortment of numbers, but will store seeing 3:33 because there is a pattern. As such, you'll start to feel like you're seeing it all the time, when really you're just only remembering seeing those numbers before.

If someone was to say they've been seeing 5:24 all the time for years, now that'll be strange.

Exactly, and it would barely raise an eyebrow among those reading it.

This is quite similar to the door bell example people seem to like using. You only ever remember the times you actually thought about there being someone there and then the doorbell rang.

You forget the ocassions we all say to our partner "is there someone at the door?" and amazingly, there isn't. Now if there was you'd remember that experience above all the misses.

Yea that makes a lot of sense about the patterns being remembered and the other times not. Thanks very much.

Or the times that you had no thought about anyone being at the door, and lo and behold, the doorbell rings, and some one is there!

I see these numbers on the clock all the time and it's kinda kewl to note it, but other than that, I don't feel it has any particular meaning. There are times when days go by when I do see the same interesting times over and over, but I think it is just coincidence. My favorites are 7:47, 1:23, 2:34 etc.
I was born on 11/11 at 11:11am and there's nothing really extraordinary about me or my life.

Been A while: Althought I firmly believe this has been a post somewhere in the past (somewhere) and although my digits don't somehow relate I still See 448 Any futher intupertations are welcomed!!

That's a bit harsh. Did you mean to say that numbers have no inherent meaning beyond an abstract description of quantity? Beyond that we attach significance to numbers all over the place.

I think I know what I mean to say, but thank you for the concern. I'd rather not be told what I meant to say if that's okay with you?

This is a great post, it also applies to all the rubbish about 6/6/6 dates too. Numbers are our creation. Its pretty incedible to believe the rules of this wonderful universe adapt themselves to numbers that have existed for a split second in its possibily infinite existence.

I asked a question, which is not the same as revision. I was hoping to reveal more of what you are saying. Suggesting that numbers signify absolutely nothing implies that they serve no purpose at all. Is mathematics the study of nothingness?

The Supernatural.co.uk is coated with numbers. All signifying nothing?

Hey, thanks to everyone. No sense in arguing over senseless things. I am convinced it is merely a DISTRACTION in my life to try to make me look deeper into something than I really should.

I've no idea, I own thesupernaturalworld.co.uk and .com.

My error indeed, now corrected. The question stands. How do numbers signify absolutely nothing?

I know it's easy to discard the numbers as a fluke and that numbers such as 11:11 being more easily recognisable than say 2:43 making them stand out more, but, I see these 11 digits all the time and it is impossible to be a coincidence. I wake up several times in the middle of the night always 3:11, 4:11, etc, I came downstairs from my loft 4 nights in a row and there on my stove, microwave etc 11:11, more than coincidence when your not looking to see this and it happens almost every time you look at the clock

49192018132091514?

Well that's that then. You say it's impossible, you are obviously not open to discussion when you rubber stamp the thread in such a way.

I suggest you are making it up. I do not believe you frequently wake up to the numbers you describe. Your screen name suggest you have a fantasy for numbers - 66. there's obviously nothing wrong with that but I am highly suspicious of your claims.

I'm sorry to be so blunt, but it's better to be straight forward and honest.

What I found odd was that after September 11th happened, I kept seeing 9:11 at least once a day (at most 2 haha). But yea, after a couple years, it dwindled down, but now I'm starting to see 11:11 at least once a day. eh

I have noticed the time 4:44 quite a lot and thought there might be some meaning in it, but based on what Phenomenon said, I think he's onto something.

Our minds do look for patterns in things.

However, I do believe in synchronicity - a linked but different subject. Sometimes we see the patterns for a reason...

I have the exact opposite. Everytime i look at my watch it shows a completely different time...can anyone explain this..

Sorry but i have to Laugh Out Loud...

my forum entry is just as stupid

That is all

Well, there's nothing unusual about seeing numbers like that. Like phenomenon said, we tend to remember the weird ones like 11:11, 3:33, 1:23, and 4:56 but never 2:56 (okay I always remember that one for various reasons) or 4:35.

Though for the doorbell example, that's jsut odd. I mean, how often does someone go "Honey, there's someone at the door" and there's no one there. I mean, really? That is freaky. I'd start wondering if I was going insane. The few times I've done that (and I do remember them) there always has been someone at the door...but it was the neighbors so there really wasn't someone at the door that counted.

For the phone thing, of course we remember the times we pick up the phone intending to call someone and the person is already on the other line (happens with my mom way too often). But how often do we pick up the phone and get a dial tone? Getting a dial tone isn't weird. Hearing my mom go "Hello? Is that you?" is weird.

A lot of that can be explained because I'll be trying to contact a friend for a get-together and she'll end up calling me right as I go to call her and vice versa. But picking up the phone intending to call my mother out of the blue and hearing her on the other end is indeed weird.

And after I swore another friend called me the minute I got into the bathroom, I actually started keeping track. Out of the 32 calls she made in a month, 28 of them I had just gone into the bathroom. A friend did that to me because I always called during dinner and there was a similar correlation.

Numbers are weird. Most can be explained away, but there's always some sneaky little thing sticking around that doesn't fit the explanations.

Great, now that I've thought about it, I'm going to start seeing 4:35 on the clock.

It brought a smile to my face.

Not forgetting the obvious, pretty much everyone has a schedule of some sort, whether it's just going to work or watching something on tv, for example I used to leave to go to work daily at 1:30, so every day I would check the time to see when I had to leave I just happened to see the time 1:23 almost every day. It seems kind of stupid to point out but I think that's definetely one of the reasons for people seeing certain times so much.

Thanks for that...

Good point. I see 9:25 a lot because that's usually when my brain is aware enough to realize that I'll have to drive my husband to work soon. And lately 4:10, but that's because the cats ricochet off my head while they're chasing each other. I loathe 4:10.

People are creatures of habit. Get a routine down and a person can go through the motions. I always dropped my daughter off at school and I had to get her there at a certain time. I started to notice the same exact time on the clock in the dash board every time we got into the car. As said many times before, we're wired to see patterns and once a routine is developed, it kind of takes over (I hope I'm making some sense here).

If this phenomenum really bugs you, swap to non digital clocks and watch. Don't know if you can do much about dvds/videos, dishwashers, microwaves,computers and mobile phones:) Seriously, this topic never came up before the invention of digital displays, and their spread to every room in our houses, which tends to indicate that it doesn't have any serious metaphysical significance.

Really? Did pre-digital display people never exclaim to each other that, so many times when they looked a spring operated clock, it was X o'clock?

Perhaps, as Sunnyoutlook wrote, we develop such such a routine, such a meld with our 24 hour cycle, that we become programmed to look at clocks at set times and yet wonder why we keep seeing that particular time.

Question still stands Phenomenon. Why do numbers signify absolutely nothing?

Probably not as it goes. Clocks of that descript are less memorable, many people look at the old style and don't really see the exact time. You glance at the clock and look away - was it 2 minutes past or was it 3 minutes past. Digital is a whole different thing, the numbers are impossible to miss because that's all you're looking at.



Don't quote someone's opinion, present your own views.



In the context of this thread and the "phenomenon" being discussed they are irrelevant.

Thanks phenomenom. Yes i did mean to add to my original post." No one( that I can recall anyway) ever looked at a non digital clock and said Wow its 2.35 again", with the possible exception of school kids at home time. The reason is simple. There was no visual message. You looked at clock hands and worked out the time. so any numerical image only appeared in your mind (if at all) This was even more so because most clocks only had 12 numbers and two hands. You wouldn't even look at a clock and say thats 1:11 You would say "thats eleven minutes past one" or more likely "its about 10 past one" This might seem a subtle difference, but without the direct visual image people didn't see time/numbers the same way. So they didn't impact on people's conscious/subconscious thoughts in the same way. To reinforce this impact, where most houses only had two or three clocks in them, now many rooms have that many digital displays of the time.
What i find really interesting, is how a simple technological change can have such a generational change on people's perception, and therefore on their thought processes.

I've had the same thing happen to me. Its been happening for almost a year now. Every day twice a day I look at the clock at exactly 9:11. Weird..

Funny to note.

I was like what does he mean by three-digit time???

So I clicked it. I have 56k so the page loads slow. I looked down at the clock as the page began to load and it said 3:33 and I made some dumb remark to my brother like it's 3 3s thats like some magic number.

I was just being weird, I like being weird.

Then I look at the page and see what the heck "tripple-digit time" meant lols.

that's pretty cool I think. It is a coincidence, but I have some cool ones.

1) I was watching wedding crashers and decided to look down at the clock at some boring point. The clock was on top of the DVD player. The clock said 1:11 AM and the DVD player said 1:11:11 So that was weird seeing 8 1s right there.

2) I was playing Advance wars DS and I was about to save it mid-battle and go outside to play some basketball with some people. My money was $11,111 which isn't normally possible, but I had certain skills attached to Andy.

so yea,

You only see 1:11 on your clock because your mind is unconciously looking for it cuz you come here and discuss ut. You prolly saw 1:11 a couple of time on pure councidence and after that you just kept looking for it. Also the proboblity of this happening mutliple times inst that astounding.

You also must realize that just because your clock says 1:11 that doesn't meen its actuall 1:11 because home clocks are nvr 100% accurate. And then when you look at a different clock that shows 1:11 it may actuall be 1:13 because clocks aren't all set up the same.

Except there's such things as different time zones, so even if your clock was 100% accurate at 11:11, it wouldn't necessarily be 11:11 somewhere else. In fact, some time zones are half an hour ahead so it would be 41 instead of 11.

Plus, we're all on our own mental time anyway. My mental time follows my alarm clock which is nine minutes ahead of the actual time.

I was very much a fan of the coincidence theory, but I still see triple digits of time (and also 10:10, 11:11) waaaay too often for mere coincidence. If you consider how many minutes there are in an hour, the odds of me seeing as many triple digits of time as I do are astounding (quick pack me for Las Vegas!)
I would also like to answer the theory that the only reason we think we see particular numbers all the time is because they are memorable patterns. Honestly, don't you think that if you had a tendency to see 9:51, you'd remember that? How many times would it take to register that you've seen 9:51 a peculiar amount of times? Perhaps only three times within four days, right?
I had another pet theory that perhaps I have set my subconcious internal alarm clock so sensitively, that I tended to (subconciously) look at the clock during these times.
BUT, last week my cat threw up a hair ball in the middle of the night waking me up. What did I see when I opened my eyes? 3:33. The very next night (morning actually) he threw up another hair ball (I guess he wasn't finished) I opened my eyes to read precisely 5:55. Now THAT was just a little too freaky for me.

I agree with the theory that we pay more attention to the 1.11's than to the 2.39's, but I admit that when I was a kid and kept on waking up in the early hours of the morning and seeing 1.11 in glowing red digits on my clock, night after night, it really started to creep me out.

I ended up putting that down to my body clock, as to why I always awoke at exactly the same time. I'm doing that now, but now its 6.30 am. A much more reputable hour.

Hi, I know it's quite a while since you started this discussion, but I've only just found this site. I too wake up most nights at 2:22, 3:33 or 4:44. It obviously has bothered me enough to look on the net for the significance of this. Sometimes when I wake up I purposely don't look at the clock and no matter how many minutes I leave it before I look, there it is - 2:22 etc.
I understand the views that go with this but, what if?
What if it does mean something. I'm not usually into anything deep but when this happens almost every day it begins to get to you. I also tend to look at the clock when I'm in the car - 10:10, 11:11 etc.
And guys, I've tried the lottery with these numbers - nothing yet!

We did not create the concept of numbers. The concept of the number 2, for instance, has ALWAYS been around, even before the solar system was created. The only thing humans created were the symbols for the concept of numbers, 0, 1, 2, 3, etc., which have changed over time, and are dependent on culture (although the discovery of the concept of zero is relatively new). By that I mean that different cultures throughout time have had different symbols for numbers, until the present day when just about the whole world uses the standard 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. Although off hand, I don't know of any culture today that doesn't use them (are they different in Cyrillic (the Russian alphabet)? And do primitive cultures (I'm talking little or no contact with 'modern' man here) use them?)

But I don't have any idea how this ties in with seeing triple digits often.

Hi

I see these same numbers as well 1:11, 2:22, 3:33, 4:44, 5:55, and 11:11 - ALL the time and only these numbers. Sometimes on the same day occuring every hour. My father passed away 5 years ago and some nights when I can't sleep or I have so much on my mind, I think he's around me. Two times my cell phone, (which is on vibrate on night's when I don't want to hear the alarm in the morning) lit up and vibrated once at 3:33a.m. There was no phone number, the phone just lit up so I could see the date and time. No one was calling, or maybe he was. I love you dad.

i agree with burnside thats sounds pretty explanitory to me

Hi Posh, reading your comments made me feel like I was looking at my own thoughts. I could never actually say what I felt to my husband. He thinks I've lost the plot just by telling him I wake up most nights at the same times. His answer is ''don't look at the clock then''.
I wonder how many of us have the same things in common like losing someone you loved, sleepless nights, family worries. I probably sound like a sad crank but I actually live a really busy life, do lots of wonderful things etc. but I still feel someone's trying to tell me something.
I'm sorry about your dad. My mum still cries every day for my dad even after 12 years. It's almost like I've lost them both.

i stumbeled across this site, i can't sleep, but i had to respond, so i registered, the time was 2:22. I just wanted to know what time it was, my eyes were aching, and i really should be sleeping. But any way, the same thing for me.111,222,333,444, i use to get 555 all the time. and also i see 911 all the time everyday. I don't do the spiritual thing, or even religon for that matter. I feel like it's a message, but it's hard to face that, like getting my hopes up that theres more going on besides mother nature, you live and then you die. but i can't ignore the couincidense every day for a couple years now. I'm not a mathmatician, but i know the odds of stumbeling across these numbers all the time gotta be up there. And now i see it's not just me...people described what's happening with me to the T. I'm not looking for numbers, but how can i ignore that i see triple numbers it seems probably seven out of ten times. I would never bring this crazy crap up with anyone i actually know, it's just been a private issue i've been keeping to myself, i'm glad i had the opportunity to find this. (although it seems i'm quite late!!!!)

more importantly i want someone to explain, was i used to always look at the clock at 4:20 AND IT started after i stopped smoking marijuana three years ago.. until i read somethin similiar to this when people were talkin bout seein the time 11:11.. now i see it in the day and at night.. even just randomly ill look at the clock!!! exploina those to things for me please..

I think it is because 1:11 and the like are more noticeable then other times. You might look at the clock more than you realize but things like 9:11, 4:44, or whatever will stand out more in you mind. It will seem like you are seeing them a lot more than you are.

Plus there is what a 1 in 60 chance you will see the numbers like 1:11 through 5:55 in any giving hour between 1 and 5. Those are the hours most people are at work and probably look at the clock a lot, so you would expect people seeing these numbers often. Then you have 10:10 11:11 and 12:12. I know when I had trouble sleeping I would look at the clock a lot. so the chances of me seeing at least one of these numbers frequently was pretty high.

That is just my 2 cents. Don't lynch me

While I can agree that numbers are an important part of all of the various parts of human life. I can also agree with you that perhaps it is too convenient that people choose to overlook the time patterns that do not seem to be able to represent something. I cannot, on the other hand, agree with you that numbers mean absolutely nothing.

I will give the following account, and try to keep it as brief as I may.

Recently I had been reading the book 2012: The Return of Quetzcoatl. One of the various topics covered in this book are synchronicities in human life, and peoples various takes on what they may mean to our lives. It was during this period that I began to notice the time 3:11 fairly often (sometimes for consecutive days, 4 at most), sometimes while watching TV; others just pulling the phone out at random to check.

One day I was sitting in the library studying for a class when I overheard a slightly nerdy looking guy mention a girl he was with that it was 4:44; I pulled out my cell phone and check thus confirming the fact. I had not really been listening to their conversation really, but I tuned in on that, maybe because I had taken a study break to stare up to the other levels of the building I was in?

Later that night I joined 2 of my friends for conversation when I noted to one of my buddies that I had been seeing 3:11 frequently. He responded by telling me a story that a girl he knew had once told him, apparently she had been noticing the time 4:44 often and wondered what this meant. What an interesting coincidence, because I had seen that the time that very day! His opinion was that these time patterns could represent higher frequencies of life (i.e. extraterrestrial forces, roaming spirits, Gods?) communicating with you.

The cherry on top of the sundae came today. When I awoke today I went to my dresser to check the time, my cell phone had apparently frozen at 4:44 AM. Admittedly sometimes dropping my cell phone or hard force can cause it to turn off, it rarely freezes. Also note that I was sound asleep at 4:44 AM, in my room alone, and that I had not given it a force and it was not moved all night. Well this occurrence is the event that caused me to do a search on Google which brought me here.

In relation to the 4:44 thing, as noted by one of the other members of this website, the 4:44 could be giving me a big "No!" to some of the things that I have been wondering/hoping for in my life recently.

I hope that this experience can somehow relate to your experiences. The skeptic might say that all of these things are just conveniences and I am just choosing to notice these patterns because that is part of human nature (which could be true). My friend could be right that these patterns are higher frequencies of communication, maybe numbers mean absolutely nothing. Synchronicities could be the Gods way of answering your questions, showing you are on the right track or perhaps it just a joke to confuse our human understanding. Whatever opinions you hold remember to keep an open mind, and remember that NO ONE person IS completely RIGHT.
