maybe you mean lost DOG and STREET 23, just to que you in,
abyhow, ha ill leave that typo in for the irony. There actually is an explanation for this. the reason you see this number everywhere, is because you WANT to.
it is not coincidence, just a trick that your brain plays on your conscious mind. you have a pre-concieved notion that the nummber 23 is "following" you, and YOU give it meaning, it may be that the number had a significant meaning at ONE point, but you are now giving it even more meaning, and when you happen by chance to see this number, your brain instantly connects it to the other "coincidences"
it is the same reason that the clock "always" reads "9:11" or "4:20" or the call number of your favorite radio station.
there is a psychological term for this "phenomenon" but, it is nothing more than a brain trick,
sorry to burst your bubble, but theres nothing more to it than that.

I see 23 around all the time. I always thought it was a bit of a conspiracy. All TV shows, commercials, etc, seem to have 23 in it. I used to point it out and tell people about it, and they always ridiculed me and made fun. Then i read Media Virus. It's a book by Douglas Rushkoff. In the book he tells of a small group of people that were in the entertainment industry that thought it'd be a funny prank to put 23 in everywhere. Now, whether you believe that it is the case or not, the very least you should get from my answer is that it's not our imagination, because the author, Douglas Rushkoff, addressed the issue in his book.
Get it from the library and look it up.
P.S. Smutulator, what's the question to life, the universe, and everything? That's what I wanna know!

I see 23 everywhere also. Its not a coincidence. I could rule out coincidence if I only saw it on clocks, but other things happen with this number. 23 chromosomes in the body, 23 second blood flow or something like that. I was at my church early in the morning praying one time and the lights cut off at 5:23 a.m. I also see 11,, 18, 55, 33 and 16. I dream numbers. but these 6 stand out. I recently discovered that 1,1,2,3,..........55 were the Fibonacci sequence and 1:1618033 is the golden ratio. once I realized this, my dreams became geometric. I often times wake up and see flower of life spinning as a transparent image in front of me.

You should check out a book called,"The Celestine Prophecy" by James Redfield. This is a quote from the book. "Have you ever had a hunch or intuition concerning something you wanted to do? Some course you wanted to take in your life? And wondered how it might happen? And them, after you had half forgotten about it and focused on other things, you suddenly met someone or something or went somewhere that led to the very opportunity you envisioned?"
"Well," she continued, "according to the priest, these coincidences are happening more and more frequently and that, when they do, they strike us as beyond what would be expected by pure chance. They feel destined, as though our lives had been guided by some unexplained force. They feel destined, as though our lives had been guided by some unexplained force. The experience induces a feeling of mystery and excitement and, as a result, we feel more alive."
The book is an eye opener! To me what it all boils down to is that nothing just happens, everything happens for a reason and leads to where you are supposed to end up. Give it a read.

I actually read something recently about the #23. It does tend to pop up a lot. It's a prime #, 23 pairs of human chromosomes, Michael Jordan's jersey #, Earth is on a 23 degree angle, 23 popes named John, David Beckham's jersey #, the Latin alphabet has 23 letters. It's just weird stuff. I also read that Jim Carrey is so interested in this phenomenon that he changed his production company (or something of the like), to JC23.

It's psychological. Since 23 is your favorite number you are more likely to notice it when it does pop up. And since you are constantly looking for it to pop up, you notice it even more.
By Monday you will see the number 42. It's the answer to life, the universe, and everything. And if you don't believe me, read Douglas Adams.
