938

For years--this is no exaggeration--I would always look at the clock at 9:38. It drove me crazy trying to figure out why this kept happening. Sometimes I would look at the clock on my computer at 9:37 and I'd say, okay, I'm not going to look at the clock again for a really long time. I'm going to beat the universe and avoid seeing 9:38. I'd wait for what seemed like forever before I looked again and it would be 9:38.

I'm sure skeptics will say there is no higher meaning. I simply became aware of that number because I saw it a few times and my brain decided there was a pattern and it became a self-fulfilling moment. I believe it meant more than this. The question was what.

The first thing that came to mind was this was the first three digits of my childhood phone number and my parents had that number right up until the time my dad sold his house and moved in with me after my mom passed away. I couldn't figure out why, though, I would get a message about my parents' phone number. When I lived in Minnesota, I saw them every day, and after I moved to Georgia, we talked often. I ruled this one out.

I tried numerology, where you add up the numbers to figure out what the mean. 9+3+8=20. 2+0=2 so the numerology is for 2. But when I looked up the meaning of 2 it didn't really fit either.

I remained stymied as to what this could mean until it dawned on me to actually search for the meaning of 938 as a full number. I didn't expect to get a hit. It's such a specific and strange number, why would anything about it be out on the internet? But I was wrong, I did get a result that actually fit what I was looking for.

The site said that 938 indicates that angels are supporting you in your soul mission. This felt true to me and I was all yea!

Until I realized I hadn't seen 938 in a while. Now I'm all OMG, have I lost the support of the angels? Have I veered from my soul's purpose? I asked to see 938 again and I haven't yet, so now I'm sort of worrying. What should I be doing if this isn't right?

Somehow I think finally finding out what the number meant wasn't a good thing for me.

It's a Sunshine Day

Hello, World!

Today, the sun is shining brightly--in fact, it woke me up--the snow has been steadily melting, we're supposed to hit the mid-40s, and I saw deer tracks in my front yard. I wish I'd seen the deer themselves, but it's still cool. This morning anything seems possible. :-)

My local writing chapter meets today, and while I'd like to go, I'm staying home to write. I will write lots, I have to, because I realized yesterday that I need to cut somewhere between 20-25 pages from the beginning of the book. It's boring and it has to go, but it's going to hurt.

I'm also hugely thankful that I've never had a precognitive dream. Yep, I had an icky one. I dreamed I was staying in a hotel, lying in bed and watching planes take off from a nearby airport. In my dream, one of the planes seemed a little low and a little too close to the hotel. Sure enough, a wingtip hit the building. I immediately started getting ready to get out of the hotel because I knew we were going to be evacuating. In the dream, I heard twice "100 people died." :-( Like I said, I am hugely grateful that I can't predict or see the future.

Once, years ago, I did work with a woman who had dreams about plane crashes and she was eerily accurate, right down to the colors on the plane's fuselage and the exact circumstances of how it looked to bystanders as it went down. I used to say to her, "let me know if you have one of those dreams, because I'm not flying if you do." She never had enough information to tell anyone and it could be a lot of months before what she saw happened, but there was only one instance where she "saw" a crash that didn't occur. How freaky would that be? Like I said, I am hugely grateful I can't see the future.

I do wish I was good at dream interpretation, though. I'd love to figure out the meaning of what I saw--especially the part where I heard the number of the dead. Twice. Numerology would be 1+0+0=1. According to NumberQuest, the number 1 means:

Unity, Beginning, Focussed concentration, Goal-striving, Action, Independence, Originality, Courage, Invention, Leader, Self-reliant, Ambition, Pioneer , Will, Conscious Mind, Positive.

Okay, this is pretty good even if the dream wasn't. I'd like to think this means that the WIP (AKA The Book From Hell) has turned a corner. I also think it has something to do with realizing what I can't control (the plane hitting the hotel) and what I can control (my reactions after the crash). I feel better about the dream now.
