The night following my 5:55 experience, I awoke at 3:21. It was like seeing a countdown, but a countdown to what? As used to I am to the clock experience, and as much as I can rely on it not to be a one-night-only thing, it never ceases to startle me into awakeness ... and the 3,2,1 countdown got to me more than most.

It did not repeat the third night. Unusual, but not unprecedented. They mostly come in threes (hmmm, maybe it's a Wicca thing), but one time happened for 7 straight days. A few times, it's just a pairing - which is what this latest bout seems to have been.


It never feels creepy (like what waking up at precisely 3:00 meant in 'The Exorcism of Audrey Rose), but it never fails to bring sudden and unwanted wakefulness.



Besides demonstrating (I think) that there are no coincidences, WHAT IN HELL DOES IT MEAN????!?!

Hmm, so you're saying you reach a certain bare minimal level of consciousness, enough to turn your head and look at the clock, and then once you see the mysterious numbers, you are then jolted into a more conscious state? Ever consider the possibility that you reach that first state several times a night and failing to see a time that matches your coincidence, just roll over and go back to sleep, never reaching a high enough state of consciousness to remember it?

It could your subconcious attempting to communicate with your concious self and relay some important truism about your life and destiny.

Or it could just be that you are having trouble sleeping through the night.

It's a mystery.
