I've always had a strong attraction to what I'll refer to as the metaphysical aspects of life, from religion to philosophy to spirituality and so on. Over the years, I participated in all sorts of consiousness raising activities, including Silva, Transcendental Meditation, est and others that I can't even remember.
Some years ago, I became obsessed with the Pennsylvania Daily Number 3 digit game. I was out of work, and spent much of my time reviewing the numbers, looking for patterns, etc. In addition, and this is where I might have something for you to consider, I visualized winning, and planned my money management system, what I'd buy, to whom I'd make gifts, etc., etc., in great detail. Part of my plan was to tithe on my winnings, for whatever that may be worth.
After a while, I began to have dreams in which 3 digit numbers would appear, in the format XXY. The next night (there were no mid-day drawings then), the three digit number would have the "X" digit in the first place.
I was very excited, but also scared. For whatever reasons, my conscience was terribly disturbed at the idea of making money by use of my "power". I tracked my results without betting for several weeks (it didn't happen every night), and finally went out and played $10 on front pairs involving the digit 9 in the first position. It hit, and I collected my winnings of $50. I also played $10 for my brother, who wasn't yet 18 at the time, and paid him.
Unfortunately, my guilt got the better of me. My visualizations became very distracted and unfocused. I quit playing, and the "power" soon disappeared. A couple of times since I've tried to get it back in times of financial distress, without success. I should mention that the guilt never left completely, no matter how strapped I've been from time to time.
I've remained fascinated by the prospect of finding a way to discern winning numbers, though. A couple of weeks ago I came across this site, and started tracking the the Pennsylvania predictions page against results. I haven't done any serious thinking about playing myself, but have mainly just been fascinated by the process. However, last weekend, I was dozing on the sofa and suddenly jerked awake, realizing that the number 5961 was present in my consciousness. You can imagine how shocked I was when it came up in the mid-day drawing on Monday!
Since then, I've continued to watch the predictions and results, but haven't thought much in a visualization sense about the idea of me winning, and I haven't played. For what it's worth, though, the day before yesterday the number 4995 showed up in my mind, although the experience was not quite like the 5961, so I make no prediction about it. There seems to be a certain indescribable and extremely subtle 'transparency' to winning visions. I'm curious to see if it should show up, though.
As an aside, I have two daughters who live with me, and one of them seems to show some presience, but I won't try to exploit it, and have never told her about my perceptions of her presience. On two of two occasions, though, without going into the details, she has innocently pronounced 3 digit numbers which came out that evening straight. Strange.
I can't recall for sure, but it seems to me that my dreaming experience came after I'd learned TM and had taken the 'est training', both of which were significant dvents in my life. It was definitely before I did Silva. I may have been meditating at the time, and I may have been still involved with the est programs. I just don't remember; it was about twenty years ago. I no longer meditate or participate in any est (now called The Forum) programs.
So, that's my story, make of it what you will. For the record, I have no negative judgments about anyone who plays lottery games; sometimes I wish I could be rid of my personal reservations, especially now that I'm in a real bind.
Maybe you'll see something in this post that will 'click' for you. I think you're onto something and I wish you the best of 'luck'!
