Numbers don't mean anything inherently. They are absolutely devoid of any connection to the physical world.
That's where units come in. 436 kilometers means something. 436 dollars means something. 436 people means something. But 436 by itself does not mean anything.

Hey there!
The reason why you are seeing 436 is it may be a house number, a part of a person's cell phone number or 436 people in a room. It means nothing. It's just a number.
Reese's idea states that the sum of the digits of 436 is 13.
Hope it helps!

This is known as "Apophenia", or "Clustering Bias."
This refers to the tendency of the brain to perceive patterns where *none exist*, or to derive an irrational sense of meaning or significance to events which are in fact random or coincidental.
The only reason that 436 stands out more than any other number, is only the fact that you actually *remember seeing it before*. All things being equal, the likelihood of seeing the number 436 is just the same as the probability of seeing ANY OTHER three-digit number(1 in 1,000.) However, since in a typical month you may read 10,000's or more numbers with at least three digits, it is almost *inevitable* that 436 will come up a few times.....
Because, in the modern world, we see hundreds or thousands of random numbers everyday, it's tempting to believe that certain memorable number sequences have a "hidden meaning"; even though seeing them again and again is really just a matter of simple probability.
Coincidence does NOT imply cause and effect.
Hope that makes sense,

436 = 400 + 30 + 6 = [100+ 100+100 + 100 ] + [10 +10 +10] + [1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1]

Maybe a number you really needed or wanted at some point ? like money or 436 minutes left on your cell phone,436 days till? its endless. Sometimes your brain recalls things you really cant remember...happen to me in a dream. I had the date 2012 in a dream, found out it was really a dooms day date, but Im sure I saw it somewhere and my brain remembers this but I dont. Anyway, no man knows dooms day its all crock.
It might come to you someday, or not.
Good luck

You are seeing other numbers but simply noticing or paying attention to 436. You have convinced yourself that it is significant and thus make a mental note of it while ignoring other numbers.

Ok dude calm down it's just your mind picking out the number. It's just like that movie 23, he was seeing all of those 23's because his mind found ways to make him see them. Sorry its not something bad I would just make it my lucky number. :)
