Isn't there a term for this? 

 

Once you take notice of something, you are more likely to see it out in the world because you are aware of it now. You would probably "see" 305 many times in many places but not take any notice of it because who cares, it's just a number. But once you have noticed it, you are going to start seeing it everywhere in places that would otherwise not have been noticed by you

 

 

I had this with urban foxes! I never saw one for years living there and after I noticed one mooching around a railway station I couldn't help noticing every time. As if they were suddenly illuminated against a drab background. Funny thing, the brain.
