The following event described , occurred when I was aged ,approx twelve years .
As a background , I used to remove my new fang LCD watch before sleeping every night, I would place it in the bottom drawer of a desk beside my bed .
I developed a trick somehow of waking in the night , guessing the time and then confirming I had guessed right approx 98% of the time .
But on this particular night I awoke abruptly, I felt instantly wide awake and alert, as if I sensed something in my room, not evil but something ...the numerals 2:31 were lit up in my mind, but I didn’t open the draw immediately, instead... I turned in the bed for what seemed approx five minutes ,but couldn’t shake the numbers , so I reached down to draw and took out watch, pressed the light button on side of dial ....the watch read.... 2:31.
The hairs did raise on my neck , I was young but somehow I knew something very odd had just occurred, I know a few minutes had passed since awakening with the time 2:31 in my mind , I didn’t check time like I normally did immediately , but despite minutes lapsing the time on watch matched the initial time in my mind.
I have been wary of the numbers 2 :31 all my life since , but in later life feel it was some sort of message about time itself , or reality.
I had some odd memories as a child about perhaps past lives, and some memory of the time between another life and being born again , including the cleansing process (hell?) and being comforted by a blond woman ,as I waited for rebirth .
To be honest don’t know if this is real memory or imagined, but I think strongly the former, I perhaps feel the watch event , was some sort of communication from spirits , angel, God .
This is a true honest account , I actually joined this forum after a couple of beers, because the event has stuck with me for decades, anyway I have posted it now , in honesty .
