The Number 16 for Several Months

Generally, when a person starts seeing a certain number repetitively, it's a number that's familiar, has special meaning, or has emotional significance. The number 16 is your birth day, which is likely the underlying reason you noticed the number in the first place and remembered that you saw it.

Numbers seem to go in cycles. A certain number or sets of numbers will be predominant in a person's environment for a while, then other numbers. Even random will have cycles where certain numbers are present more often, and then later other numbers.

When a person sees a certain number more often than they consider normal or natural, they may wonder if it means something. The wondering sets up a mystery, which tends to cause the person to see the number even more often. The Why People See Certain Numbers All the Time article explains why that is.
