Humans seek patterns. When we were hunter gatherers we needed those skills to survive. We still have those things but sz and related disorders make you focus on things which aren’t there or give meaning to events where there is none.
Yes. It’s happened to me in the past but not so much now on meds. It can be just positive symptoms but you’ll look or believe otherwise.
When I was symptomatic I would notice numbers like 111, 222, 5555 on vehicle number plates. I thought persons were deliberately doing this for me. Now I think it is just coincidence.
I never used to notice things like 1!:11 or 777 omg its 11:11 hahaha
lately I have been noticing it a lot more mostly because I am consciously thinking about the numbers themselves and their frequency, but I did get change a few times and that I actually noticed when its like $7.77 but thats because its unusual for me and I dont use cash enough.
For me medication is like the bridge between whats real and whats not. I dont think there’s anything wrong with belief in numbers carrying a special meaning, just not letting ideas consume you. I believe that we do have an unconscious dreaming and conscious waking state. REM deep sleep etc. and they do all have certain light wave-lengths you can measure but our minds can reach beyond measurement, which is why humans are so unique. Being able to get good rest, and trust your intuition is healthy.
Im grateful to be able to be myself and for the advancements in science which have allowed me to be both spiritual and real.
But psychosis is more like the waking nightmare, when you can’t decipher between the real and the fictitious. Trauma. toxic stress, and a lack of self identity can be a factor, but also a lack of compassion from those who seek to undermine or misinterpret schizophrenia.

The regular interpretation is about bla bla bla - look on Wiki if you want.
But the strange fact is very few people see 666.
Take a look if you want.
I am not religious.
But take a peek. Can you see it?
I see synchronicities the majority of the time when I check the time on my phone. It’s happened so much now, there is significance, it’s no coincidence.
I have been seeing 11:33 on the clock since the time I was a child. Another number that pops out for me quite frequently is the number 17. It’s interesting to me that 47 is a prime number. Prime numbers seem appear to me most often for me
I was having a conversation with my buddy Dan once, and I went into the kitchen three times during our long chat. It was 2:22 p.m., then 3:33 p.m., then 4:44 p.m. I tried to explain this to him, but he dismissed it as chance
