Number Trigger

[XanderAmon]

Last night as I was going to sleep, a 6-figure number flitted through my mind.

Actually, it came as a part of one of those passing images--I envisioned it as the title of an LJ post, but something about it grabbed me and said, 'Remember the number'. So I concentrated on it until I'd gotten every digit worked out.

As soon as I had, my entire body went numb.
My hands and feet developed instant pins & needles and felt pinned to the bed; it took enormous effort just to wiggle my index finger. And the whole time I felt a mix of fear and shock, though I suspect that was more a feeling of 'I can't move.... WHY CAN'T I MOVE??' rather than anything metaphysical.

After I finally got my body to obey my brain's commands again, I started feeling the severely creepy feeling that there was some other Presence in the room. But what it was, I cannot say.

I still remember the number, but I don't feel like sharing it. It feels too personal.

Of course, I have guesses about what this could mean. None of them jump out as the correct answer.

Has anyone else ever had this happen to them, with a number?

It's happened to me with a word, but I got a nice feeling, not a creepy one. My advice to you: PLAY THE LOTTERY. :)

Lol... Is the lottery six numbers? I've never played before. :lol:

could it be a date?
as in 10-18-05?
perhaps a combination? a code? a birthday of someone important to you? it depends on the number i suppose. meditate on the number. write it down inyour notebook and write down what it could mean to you?
I haven'thad this happen before but i'm very curious.

It's not a birthday... but it could be any of those other things. My current suspision is it's some kind of ID number that I had in another life... from the military, or a prison sentence perhaps.

A friend of mine suggested that I might have been experiencing old hag syndrome (http://paranormal.about.com/library/weekly/aa112000a.htm), more scientifically known as Sleep Paralysis. It does sound very similar, although the article says most people wake up in the middle of the night with it, and I hadn't yet fallen asleep. Also, it happened immediately after I'd gotten the number worked out.

You still win a BIG pile of money if it hits five numbers. In PA it was 340 million last I heard... biggest ever. WHAT ARE THE NUMBERs!!?? :)
