What happens when coincidence starts looking a lot like a pattern?

For the past three nights or mornings—if you will—I've been waking out of my dreams at the same time. Actually, I don't think I'm waking at the same time, although I don't know for sure. But what I do know is that when I turn over, grab my phone, and click the power button to look at the time, it's been 3:24 repeatedly.

On one of the nights/mornings, because my perception is that when it's dark, it's nighttime, I believe that I waited a couple to a few minutes before looking at my phone. Why I waited, I haven't a clue. If I'm honest, I only have the perception of waiting because I was indeed coming out of a dream state. But again, when I looked at my phone, it was 3:24—not 3:23 and not 3:25. Exactly 3:24.

Have you ever woken from a dream, or otherwise, at a certain, even specific, time repeatedly? I wonder, when does coincidence become a non-factor? I can't be the only person that this has happened to.

This phenomenon seems like a pattern, but I wonder at what point waking at the same time each morning actually becomes a pattern and not just happenstance. I will test the "happenstance" idea by trying to keep myself aware of the numbers 324 in any form as pattern recognition. Our brains are built for pattern recognition, so it would not surprise me if I start seeing the numbers 324 elsewhere during the day.

I created SYNORA Dreams for instances just like mine. I've often wondered whether dreams were connected in some way to a collective or larger network of an unconscious universal mind. You know, like something greater than myself. Not in the sense of God or a deity, although I wouldn't rule that out at all.

I guess SYNORA was born out of sheer curiosity based upon my own dreams and waking experiences. I'm not seeking to prove or disprove anything supernatural with SYNORA, but if the data begins to show something trustworthy, I will surely investigate its findings.

If you have any input, don't be shy about making it known in the comments. I will read every one and may even reply to a few, time allowing.

Thanks for stopping by.
