The 11:11 Phenomenon -- Spiritual significance, pattern recognition, internal clock, something else, nothing. . .?

Lately I've been noticing that I often look at a digital clock when it reads 11:11. I'll be thinking about or doing something, mind (seemingly) preoccupied, not even thinking about time. Then I just happen to look up, a clock is the first thing in my view, and it will display 11:11 (on the microwave, cable box, laptop, in the car, alarm clock). At first I shrugged it off as coincidence or an internal time keeping thing. Then it started happening with greater frequency. Curious, I googled it and discovered that there are several theories about it (on websites, YouTube, etc.). Has anyone experienced the same or have thoughts about it?

Well, I read(y?) below and now I'm going to do some online research of my own. Very interesting! Thanks to @CragAntler for your insight. Like Cosmic syrup, I also see 9:11. The number 11 has become really thematic for me this year, so regardless of what it means, it's worth a look.

I haven't read any responses yet, but first let me say.... WOW! I have been experiencing this for about 12-18 months and it was actually starting to freak me out a bit. Hmmmmmm. Now I will ready below.

I experience this, too, but it's with 9:11. Clocks, license plates, store receipts, mileage on my car, etc.

I've been seeing 11:11 or 1:11 at least 10 or more times a week on clocks going on five years now. Its become a part of my life and I've accepted it. Some of my friends believe me (cause they've been with me while I'm having these moments) and others completely don't and that doesn't bother me. One example would be two weeks ago me and my brother were walking down a trail by my cabin hunting grouse and I struggled to get my phone out of my pocket for no apparent reason. We had no where to be and we had all day to hunt and at that moment what time it was meant nothing, but still I struggled to retrieve it. My brother looked over and waited to see what I was doing and when I finally got my phone out it was 1:11 and I showed him the time and he knows about my story so he just said "yeah your blessed or have somebody looking down on you or something." Personally I believe its an internal clock thing. My mind or body just knows when that time is showing somewhere so it makes me see it. Not sure how it forces me but it without a doubt does force me to see it. I don't think there's a huge meaning behind it though. Im not religious so I don't think its somebody looking down on me showing me a sign and I highly doubt Im being contacted by angels as I've read on different web sites. Still it's weird that a lot of people deal with this and I was amazed at how many sites discuss this, and I'll add soulpancake to that list. I have other cool/interesting moments dealing with this but this post is already long enough.

I'm attracted to the number 23, but it's just in my head, lol. 2012..... 1+2=3..... 20+3= 23.... And I can make anything equal 23... My name, city, home all equal 23...... I see it every where. But it's all in my head,lol, becuase of movies I've seen:) And 11:11, I just think it looks wierd, nothing else.

Best time to look @ the time is in your dreams, imho.

I once dreamt a 5 digit number but not the sort of number I could play the lotto with. So I decided it was a zip code--but I didn't want to go to Ohio. Missed my chance...

Yes, I have experienced this as well, not just clocks, but other things involving numbers as well, recently, I was making checks out at work in succession, one after another, and looked up finally and the last one was for $1,111.00. Just random oddness of seeing it in places. Not looking for it but it just being there. Crazy. Who knows?

I dont know whats going on inside your mind. Do your own examination. I suppose that is because ive experienced it.

i think you attract what you want to attract. You see what you want to see with everything in life. Also with love. You have to be love in order to attract love.

I have experienced the same thing. Synchronicity... keep your eyes peeled.

Touch something red and make a wish. I don't know why, but my siblings and I have been doing this forever. I'm not sure why we started. Maybe because it's just a reminder to take some time out of your day to really think about what you want, and maybe don't have right then. I usually wish for something I could actually get for myself, like a healthier relationship with someone or more sleep...but it's just a reminder to actually DO something about it, make it happen.

I think it occurs every 12 hours.

its stupid! it has no backing, like y 11:11?? y not another time? whats so significant about it? and to consistantly make a wish at the same time everyday but do nothing to work towards that wish is insane to me.

A pity you couldn't share an absurd theory or two with us. Too much work, I guess, huh?

I always wish at 11:11, 12:34 2:22,1:11,3:45 and any other excuse I can make up in my head to make a wish. One one them is bound to work someday. :)

Everyone (well, most everyone) I know likes to make wishes on 11:11 or 12:34. I even make wishes at 9:20 (which is my birthday in numericals). I always took it as an opportunity to think about something I'd like to happen in the near future, like an interesting guest on Conan O'Brien or having a good day/night. I've never heard about any of these phenomenon before this post. I think it's a little far fetched though. There are probably plenty of times when you look up at the clock, see the time is 3:28 or something and don't think anything of it. The numbers 11:11 maybe just look a little more.. special (?), so you'll notice more often when the clock says that time.

I, too, have kind of noticed something like that. It hasn't really happened as frequently as you've experienced, but it has been a little odd. I've also noticed that it's not just 11:11 for me. I'll be thinking about doing something, look at the time, and on a consistent basis the clock will read 12:34. I don't know if there's anything related to that like there is the 11:11 theory, but I always found it to be quite interesting. Might have to be something I'll look up tonight at work.
