    It may be similar but I always now what time it is!        Russ

    Many people (and animals, for that matter) have very accutate "internal
    clocks."  This clock is "reset" if necessary throughout the day
    by reference to external time standards like clocks (or in some
    cases, sunrise/set).  This tends to be an unconscious ability.
    
    I have some of that myself, and it is rare that I have to use an
    alarm clock.

    i) internal clock: I seem to be blessed - or cursed - by this. Whatever
    time I set an alarm clock to, and no matter how many time zones I cross
    in traveling, I seem to wake up a few minutes before the alarm goes off
    9 days out of 10. 
    
    ii) noticing time. Whilst I cannot say why you notice the significant
    times in every case, it is possible that when walking past wall clocks
    that you notice the time "subliminally" and only consiously look when
    the time glimpsed subconsciously is "significant".

    	I always have the *exact* thing happen to me and I've never
    been able to figure it out. Most of the time it happens at 11:11
    pm. May be it is an internal clock . It sure does feel strange.
    
    I'll think about looking at the clock to see what time it is
    and a split second before I look I know that the time is going to
    be 11:11. This has gone on for years and I've gotton to the point
    where I just kind of snicker when it happens but like I said I
    still don't know how to explain it. There's just something special
    about *that* time.
    

    Re: .3 (ii)
    
    I believe this is the explanation for what .0 is experiencing. To
    give it a term, it's called the Reticular Activating System
    (compliments of The Pacific Institute).  It is similar to what happens
    when you buy a new car and suddenly you notice how many more of
    that type of car seems to be on the road.  You always saw that car
    type, but you never noticed that you saw them.  
    
    You are seeing the clock at other times, but not noticing the other
    times, because they are not significant.  You are not even aware
    that you don't notice.  It's not paranormal, we all do it.
    
    

    re .5
    
    I can accept this theory as the probable reason for these time
    incidents, however why and how does this theory even occur?
    And it works the same way whether you are asleep or awake?

    re .8
    
               If one subscribed to the theory that we create our own
               reality then your experiences make perfect sense.  By
               'creating our own reality' I'm talking about our belief
               system effecting our thoughts which in turn effect our
               electomagnetic bodies, as well as the others, and bring
               to us what we believe "should" be.

    "Time is what keeps everything from happening at once."
    
    Since your subconscious is doing the R.A.S. bit, maybe it will choose
    this coincidental numerical time for you to die.  When your time
    comes, of course.  Many, many, many years from now.  *Way* beyond
    the Aver. Life Expect., I'm sure. 
                                                              
    Waking up before the alarm isn't rare; since you hate the alarm
    to wake you up your sub. beats it to it.  Mine does, unless I'm
    very tired.   BTW, the first time I pulled KP I was awakened by
    a shaking bunk (nothing paranormal here; its dangerous to wake a
    sleeping man by shaking his shoulder) at 4AM.  For almost 6 mo.
    after that I'd wake up a few minutes before 4AM *every day*.

    re: .8
    
    31 October	-	ominous date !  could that have been the reason
    for your time-warp ?
    
    	I have a similar 'problem' - with me its 7:07  usually
    am - sometimes pm. It got so unnerving that I even changed the alarm time
    on my alarm clock from 7:10 to 7:05, hoping that I would wake up
    at 7:00 sharp & be in the bathroom when 7:07 rolls around. It still
    happens, but not as frequently. I often wake up earlier than 7:00
    get showered & back to the bedroom when 7:07 rolls around.
    
    BTW - I'm a pilot & the Boeing 707 is an airliner. Any significance?

    Re:.12  Scooter
    
    Your reply missed 7:07 by a minute (19:08=7:08)!  I bet you started
    writing it at 7:07.
    
    I haven't been noticing this happening in my experience for awhile,
    but I always enjoyed the feeling of "being right in the moment"
    when it did.
