Shifting to the paranormal I remember hearing about people who have had NDE's having trouble wearing watches, as they always seem to freeze or break.

Well, I guess you just solved my mystery. My watches kept freezing and stopping within a short time of purchase. I took one back to have the battery replaced. It soon stopped again. I chalked it up to cheap watch, cheap battery.
I bought another watch which was more expensive. Same thing happened.
Friend gave me his watch to wear which was even more expensive. It went dead within a couple of weeks, too.
I have no idea why this has happened to me. Your statement is the first time I have ever heard of this phenomenem.
Several years ago I was overdosed by hospital personnel in ER. I died. I vividly remember my experience. I was briefly revived and then lapsed into coma for 2 1/2 days. When this happened to me I had never heard of NDE, didn't know what it was nor anything about it. The memories of my experience greatly disturbed me for a long time.
I do not wear a watch anymore. I keep a watch in my vehicle and a clock on the wall.

It's probably a faulty bulb, I see it happen all the time too when I am out walking at night.
The filliment goes out and then the bulb has to cool down before it can fire back up.
I wouldn't worry about it.

I know this has probably been posted before in one manner or another, but I can not find a thread on this subject for the life of me. Basically what I have noticed in the past 3-4 years is an alarming frequency of street lights turning off in my vicinity. I have shrugged it off for years as just my observation of what happens all the time, but only placing importance on it when it happens near me. However, for the past year I have paid close attention, and I have not been able to observe street lights going dim or turning off on a regular basis anywhere else.
It is generally the old-school style street lights you would find in any city, the 90 degree angle at the top with a light suspended in a horizontal housing attached to an arm. What generally happens is I'll be minding my own business, walking the dog or just traveling by foot around the city and a light within a stones throw, usually within 10 feet of me will flicker a bit or just go immediately dim. It happens roughly once a night or at least every other night and it is always the ones closest to me, I've even had 2 go off that we close at nearly the same time.
My first though was that they were operated by some sort of censor that detected motion and shut off appropriately, but no, that is not the case...the only censors I've ever been aware of were for lights not on a central timer, that operated when ambient light was low. Secondly I figured all lights shut off for a time to conserve power, which is most likely true, but the random timing and frequency with which they shut off around me is beginning, or has been defying that thought. I will sometimes sit and observe street lights from a distance waiting to see if and when they turn off, but have gathered very little and no conclusive data.
Shifting to the paranormal I remember hearing about people who have had NDE's having trouble wearing watches, as they always seem to freeze or break. I am interested to hear of anyone else's experience regarding the street light phenomenon as I am assuming it's probably been stated and investigated before. I have never had an NDE, though I have had a few OBE's...not from meditation or astral projection (which I delve into quite a bit for personal health and general interest), but from being under the knife or from my past experimentation (in the literal form) with '___'. The only real traumatic health emergencies, other than lacerations, concussions and the like; I've had was mild epilepsy as a youth, from the ages of 3-8 I had a few seizures that were "growth related" and was prescribed a drug, if I remember correctly, named tegretol (closest phonetic spelling I can make). I'm just very interested after 4 years as to the nature of this phenomenon, and am in no way trying to gain attention or proclaim myself as having a unique energy or telekinetic ability. Thanks for the read and any feedback brothers and sisters!
