Seeing the same numbers daily

For the past few years I’ve been seeing 813 daily. The number has some importance because I was born on 8/13 and work in an 813 area code. I’m not talking about seeing it in the phone numbers locally but seeing the time show 8:13 twice daily, seeing it in random sets of numbers, in video game scores (Streets of rage and COD). Even saw it once when looking up covid stats.
When I say I see it in the time daily, I don’t mean I watch a clock and then it turns 8:13. I see it randomly when I pick up my phone or look at the time on the PC. The last few days I woke up and grabbed my phone and it was 8:13. My clock in the car is a few mins off, I’ll see it once on my phone in the morning and then I’ll randomly glance at the screen where the clock that’s slow and see it again.

I’ve read a little about numbers and their meanings but not really sure there is a meaning to it. Maybe my brain is just looking for the numbers at all times.

So today on 8/13, in the 813 area code at 8:13 am the cycle continues. What could it all mean?!?!? Besides me turning 36 I guess.

You can type any number from 1-20,000 into Google and follow it up with "new cases" and you're guaranteed to get a hit.

Yes I did that a few weeks ago, But I wasn't searching for it when it came up. But that whole thing is weird on its own.

My brother and his housemates discovered the 64 Phenomenon. It's nothing obvious like Commadore or Nintendo. It's a number that appears with a spooky regularity. He then infected me with 64 Phenomenon.

He said he was in a junkyard and the was a race car door with a 6 on it and another door next to it face down. So he and his housemate flipped the door and it was another door but with a 3 on it.

Stuff like that.

For some reason this thread reminded me that "Lost" was a thing and a huge cultural phenomenon at the time.

There were some similar studies done after 9/11. Many people started looking at clocks at that time, or always saw it everywhere. Untrain your brain

I have the same thing with 10:17. My brain is trained to look for that number everywhere. It's been like that for 6 years.

i did this with 117 for a long time

1:17
$1.17
1/17 or 11/7 (january 17th or november 7th)

everywhere. and its absolutely bc me and my buddy were really intot he halor series at the time. you will find the number you are looking for, especially if it's a three digit number. we use them so much in our daily lives that your brain will be searching for that pattern as a way to connect dots and make things organized... brain is such a mysterious and powerful thing to me, utterly fascinating.

Its because youre looking for it. I do it with the number 182 because of blink 182. See it all the time. And blink everytime I do. Once you start there is no stopping it. Ive been doing it for over 20 years now. Help me.
