11:11

In the last 1-2 years I have looked at the clock at least 5 days out of 7 at exactly 11:11.
I don’t clock watch at all so it’s not that
I mentioned it to a few people and only ever got reactions of oh that’s weird.
Was thinking about it again tonight and just googled..seems it’s a thing.
Anyone else??

It happens to me loads. I think it’s just that we always notice it because it’s such a pleasing number! Nonetheless, despite not believing in any sort of woo, it always makes me think of my (late) Dad when I see 11:11 so it somehow brings me some comfort, even though I know there’s nothing in it, if that makes sense 😬

PJsallday123 · 04/08/2022 23:37

Kinda in the same boat to be honest. I’m not any way woo but the google results are making me think maybe I am 😂

I constantly see 13 minutes past. I hate it and take it as a bad omen. I see it at least 8 times a day. It happened a few years ago too and I stopped wearing my Fitbit as it was driving me nuts. It just started up again two months ago. Usually heralds a difficult period.
it sounds bonkers but it really gets to me ☹️

PJsallday123 · 04/08/2022 23:51

It’s so strange isn’t it. I honestly probably only look at the clock 4-5 times a day max but somehow one of them is 11:11 maybe it’s a muscle/brain memory type scenario, or maybe not I was just so interested to explore it more.
Maybe 13 could be lucky for you rather than anything negative if you try to switch it and think of something good that’s happened after you’ve seen it?
is it our minds or is it a thing that’s my million dollar question!

Happens to me ! Us I should say as a family .. and it's 11.11 too! That's so weird..

This is called angel numbers! Have a look if Google hasn't already told you. I also see 11.11 a lot but it can change and be a different number for a few months too. It usually has been quite accurate to me. If you believe in this sort of thing 11.11 is such a good number to repeatedly see!

Antarcticant · 05/08/2022 00:03

I always see 29 minutes past. I suspect it's confirmation bias.

I got in a bit of a google rabbit hole on it randomly earlier hence my post. It’s made me super interested in what’s going on!!

My son was born at 11:11 and so was my niece (my twin brothers little girl!)

I’ve been Googling tonight hence my post and ended up being on the topic for over an hour. There has to be something in it?!
im gonna register for the next 2 weeks with a pen and paper every time I look at the clock the time and try and work out if it’s just a memorable thing for me

Happens to me all the time! (If you pardon the pun 🤣)

yousolucky · 05/08/2022 00:25

My Spanish ex-MIL told me 25y ago that if you see 11:11, cross your fingers (both hands) and spit 3 times, it will bring you luck. For some reason, I still do it every time I see 11:11.

FreyaStorm · 05/08/2022 00:26

@PJsallday123

It could be muscle memory or a very strong interval clock.

I was replying to you and got distracted and when I picked up my phone again it was 00:13 🤦‍♀️
I love seeing 11:11, but it happens rarely, and I’ve gone down the google rabbit hole on the angel numbers.
I saw that you’re going to track it, I’ve been doing that with my 13 pasts by taking a screenshot. I started it to prove to DP as he didn’t believe me, and that’s how I know I see it 6-8 times per day.

For 13 it says;
When you keep seeing the angel number 13, it serves to warn you of a big turmoil that may soon happen in your life, just like the angel number 333. This is why some people think that this angel number brings bad luck.
It serves as a warning so that you can better prepare for whatever life is about to throw at you. Your past has equipped you with the strength to navigate through this storm.
Your angels want you to know that all the hardships in your life will help you get to where you should be. Take these challenges positively, and you will come out stronger and better.
You will finally see why you had to go through the things you did. It’s not just to make you suffer or make your life harder."

So I am trying to be positive, but it does get me down each time I see it.

Howappropriate · 05/08/2022 00:37

I see 11.11 all the time too. Dunno if it means anything, but when I see it I stop what I'm doing and do a mini meditation for the minute- take a few deep breaths and think about things I'm grateful for. Happens 3 or 4 times a week.
So whether it means anything woo or not, I take it use it as an opportunity to take the moment to be grateful. Seems a positive way to use a probably random occurrence!

FreyaStorm · 05/08/2022 00:44

@Howappropriate I really like this idea, I will try to do it too.

Squiff70 · 05/08/2022 07:59

Almost every day for probably about a year, I've looked at a digital clock/phone when the time was 12:34. I don't seem to get this repeated thing at any other time of day and it's WEIRD.

Puddincup · 05/08/2022 14:14

Was just about to post similar! Had a strange experience a few months ago at a spiritualist church and I've only noticed it since then. It's probably coincidence or more me wanting to believe there's something a bit woo but very odd!

december2020 · 05/08/2022 14:19

I see 11:11 everywhere too, also when looking at clocks.

Though I always suspected it was Baader–Meinhof phenomenon and the frequency illusion.

As you're looking for it, it pops up everywhere and you make a mental note of it, opposed to other times you may also be seeing frequently.

MaMisled · 05/08/2022 14:28

Wow! I thought it was just me! I'm a deep sleeper but wake at 6.19 most mornings then go back to sleep.

Also, whenever I look to see how much longer washing machine cycle has left to run, 24 minutes. Every time!

howaboutchocolate · 05/08/2022 14:43

I always used to see 00:00, but I haven't for ages. Probably because I'm usually asleep by then these days!
