My children were excitedly freaked out, because we all saw this and recognized it at precisely the same time. It had not been visible through the trees on other trips. It was in Iowa.

Here's a strange one. A few years ago my mom fell and broke her leg below her left hip. A good family friend came to visit a day or so later and on that day he was in Court regarding trying to get partial custody of kids/ divorce. Now skip forward three years....on the SAME exact DAY as 3 yrs ago, my mom falls and breaks the same leg right below the metal plate. a few days later that same male friend came to visit her in hospital..and we find out he was in court THAT DAY again doing paperwork getting fully custody of the kids. We are scared what is going to happen in another three years on that particular day in July 2010 More breaks? more court??!!!

Born on Dec 11 (12/11) at 12:11 at night. Weighed 8lbs- 11 oz. In my life the number 221 keeps reappearing. it is quite strange. I sometimes wonder if it is just because i'm conscious of it.

Yikes! I hope not, Sun! I have one which my kids STILL tease me about years after it happened. It was at a time when lettuce was really high priced due to weather conditions, etc. I had a dream I went to the grocery store and they had lettuce on sale for 29 cents. I was so excited in my dream I had found such a bargain! I go to the grocery store in a day or so and guess what? Yep, lettuce was 29 cents a head. They still make fun of my "psychic lettuce!" I constantly have dreams in which I really need to find a rest room and there's always a problem. They're dirty, they're in use, they're broken, etc. After what seems like an eternity in which I'm dreaming other things along with dreaming to find a bathroom, I wake up to find out I really need to go! Thank goodness I've never found one in my dreams. LOL

Dashing out the door (once I throw some clothes on!) to 2 apts to day, so I don't have time to read what all has been posted lately. I'll catch up later, as this is turning into my fave thread. Anyhow I do want to write down my weird dream last night before I forget it. I dreamed that I was visiting mom in her nursinghome and we went for a walk at a place similar to Disneyland - weird buildings etc. And we found ourselves at a bus station... Anyhow eventually we were back at her nursinghome, a nurse tried to put her in the wrong room, but we got that sorted out. As I was leaving, I stopped at a pastry shop in the nursinghome (in real life there's only a tuckshop there). I asked the ladies behind the counter which was the least expensive pastry and they kept saying 9:00 AM I kept saying "No, not what time is it, but how much is it?" And they kept repeating the time. So I got mad and said sarcastically, "What is this - a dream?" And right then, in real life, the alarm rang and woke me up for the time I'd set last night - 9:00 AM! Have a great day everyone! Back later, I'm looking forward to reading the stories I've missed.

I was born 3/11, my daughter was born 11/11, my grandson was born 1/11, and my mom died 7/11. My fiance's birthday is on 11/5. Lots of 11's; wonder if there'll be more of significance.

This isn't goosbumpy, but certainly interesting. I was born at 6:06 AM and my only full sibling (brother) was born at 12:12 AM. I'm not sure how to draw any meaning from it.

My DH was born one month and one day before me. 03/05 ... 04/06 My b'day is in April. His surname translates from Italian to April. My first name is Joyce. He's from a small town in Italy pronounced Joya. I was born on the the first day of Passover, which falls around the same time as Easter. His mother's first name Pasqua translates from Italian to Easter. (Jesus' Last Supper, honoured at Easter, was a Seder, which is a Passover feast.) My dh VinBlanche's name is Vincenzo which translates to Conqueror which = Victor. Guess what my dad's brother's name was? Yep, Uncle Victor. When we were dating, we relayed all this to a friend who concluded that we were Beshert, which translates from Yiddish to 'Destined' for one another.

My sister was born on the same day as her mother, who was born on the same day as her mother, all August 10th. Without any medical assistance to have it on that day, like not induced or anything. Also, I had the same dream once every year around the same time, for like 6 years. I was running up a stone staircase, like in a castle, in fear. Once I reach the top, I turned into a room to find a figure cloaked, looking out the window. I was looking for this person, and feel relief when I see them. I walk up to them, telling them that there's a murderer on the loose, but when I touch their shoulder to turn them around, they fall apart into two pieces, sliced down the middle. I recoil in horror, and turn around to find the murderer with a chainsaw coming at me, and then I wake up. I haven't had this dream in a couple of years though, thank god. LOL I dream really vividly, so when I wake up from nightmares, I'm borderline having heart attacks. That dream is the main reason why I don't believe the theory that dreams are just created our brain trying to make sense of all the information we've taken in during the day, firing random synapses when we're asleep.

Wow Neko that is a really freaky dream. I bet dream analysis would have a field day with that one.

Well, I'm sitting here reading about the significance of 11:11 on this thread and another thread that came up when I googled 11:11. Then Ron came over and said the kids have a new favorite song on their CD, it's number 11. He didn't know what I had been reading.

I have had dreams after the death of people. One time a distant cousin's brother died and I was unable to go to the funeral or the wake. In my dream I was there, talked to the family and was able to give them condolence hugs etc. I have had this other times too when something bad has happened to people and then I am able to talk to that person or someone close to them in my dream. I have found this to be my mind doing what I cannot do. When I wake up, I feel better that I have been to see this person or to the funeral home etc. I often wonder if these people dream that I was actually there...now that would be freaky. I have been a non-smoker for many years now (almost 14 years) however I still the odd time have a smoke in my dream. I dreamed that my sister and dh separated etc., and then it came true...I also dreamed of my sisters SO in her life now..and even hair colour etc., was right. I see my dad and now every so often my fil in my dreams. I like that, it makes me think that they are thinking of me too I know in my future somewhere that I will actually see a plane crash as I have seen so many in my dreams. I think I used to dream of fires, but nothing significant...and remember we have had 2 large and massive barn fires. I have not had any dreams of barn fires since then. I am always looking for a washroom in my dream and the one thing is when I do find one, they are open toilets, no walls or in some cases no doors for privacy in a room with people in it...very strange (open concept toilet room anyone lol) Like I said earlier in this thread, I write down some of the more vivid dreams. I will have go back and read some of them and see if any have come true. Ok, enough for now...

The toilet dream - where you find restrooms but there aren't doors or there's some other reason you can't use them - is because your body is saying you need to pee but your brain is saying you can't because you're asleep! Sensations in your body create the need to find the rest room, which manifests itself as a dream, but as you can't find relief (without bad consequences!) the only way your mind can finish the dream is to manifest some reason why you couldn't use the toilet you found. That's why that particular dream is so common. Neko, I have almost the same thing with me, my mum and her mum, out birthdays are Aug 10, 12 and 13!

Just thought of this weird one: My dad used to do that thing where you dangle something over a person's wrist and it tells how many children that person will have. Goes in a circle for girls and a line for boys. So, he was doing it to my aunt and uncle. Hers said four boys. His said two boys, one girl, two boys. Turned out there HAD been a girl born to the uncle and that little game ultimately led to their divorce. My dad refused to do it to both members of a couple after that.

I don't know if this a phenomenon of my household, or of all households, but here I go. I think DH goes through more undershirts than any man on earth, and he pulls them off to inside-out like most men before he throws them on the floor next to the hamper. When I would fold the white laundry, I got sick of turning the undershirts to right side out to fold them. So, one day I decided to turn all his undershirts right side out BEFORE I would wash them. Guess what? Most of them still ended up inside-out when it came to folding time. I can't win.

Naja I thought Colossus cornered the market on inside-out laundry. Glad to hear I'm not alone on the laundry-folding frustrations. Coinkydink-ness: three youngest boys born in the family (great-great grandfather, his grandson and his g-g-grandson (my brother)) in exact 50-year incriments: one on March 19, 1864; one on March 19, 1914 and one on March 19, 1964.

Well, if it is any consolation, a lot of finer washable garments say to wash them inside out. So, there you go. The guys are just helping out so you don't have to turn them inside out before washing. Highly considerate of them. Oops, just realized we are in the weird shit thread. Naja, that is positively freaky!

Naja, my DH's undershirts never turn inside out. I have a front loading machine. If you have a top loader, maybe that's the culprit.
