The first number I ever saw a lot of was 333 I began noticing that number when I was about 13, it started appearing everywhere, it was on my bike, on the zip of my pencil case etc.. I had no idea what it meant but it became my favourite number..

Then one afternoon whilst sleeping in on holiday I dreamt that my phone was floating in a colourful mist and the time said 1:36. I awoke, and I'm not sure how long after then dream it was but I remembered the dream on awakening and though "surely not..." I looked at my phone and sure enough the time was exactly 1:36 ever since I have seen this number a lot. Some times it's more intense than others. I occasionally notice 137 instead which is ''fine-structure constant'  in physics.

Once I came across some numerological data on the starsign cancer and both 0.333% and 1.36 where on the table for one reason or another... (i'm a cancerian)

Other weird things are that I have always thought the number five was important. As a child I thought of it as the most fresh number and it was always very green and refreshing in my mind. I find a sequence of numbers without a five in them to .... sickly,   for want of a better word.. I have the same feelings about the letters A and to a degree N.

It turns out that my life path number is 5. My name number is a 5, my soul urge number (whatever that is) is apparently a 5 and my inner dream number is a 9...

Does it mean anything that 5 is both my name and birthdate number?

You would have more 5 energy having two 5's in your core numbers.

Wait I misread and am confused. You have lifepath 5 and expression 5. Your heart's desire (soul urge)is 5? That seems like a lot of 5 energy.
what is your personality number? What day were you born on?

well he said his inner dream number is 9, I guess thats anther name for your  personality number, according to this,  link:  

anyway his birthday number is 29, I checked his profile link to find out.

Thanks for the clarification. So 5 lifepath, expression, and soul urge...That's a lot of five energy. I thought I had a lot of 7 lol
Personality 9...wonder why you'd have chosen so much five vibration? Do you have to adapt to constantly changing situations?

For me, I have 7 lifepath and 7 expression. It is actually favorable to have matching life path and expression numbers...then your bridge number is 0. You have a chance to make some real progress in this numbers lessons. But it can seem overwhelming, for me it did, until a certain understanding or maturity is reached.

With your 5 soul urge and 9 personality...you can bridge the gap with the 4.... solid foundations, hard-working, structure, dependability, organization, practicality
