Deja Vu

Post Reply New Topic

LAtely, I've been getting this a lot.. just now, I had a massive episode.. I actually shook my head because it was all to surreal.. everything that was open on my monitor seemed fimilar, the topic I was discussing with my friend.. the building.. The weird part is, I've only lived in this city for 2 months..

I've been getting it a lot lately.. more then I did as a child.. a few times a month? Maybe more?

It's meant to be caused by your brain accidentally filing brand new data straight into your long-term memory, and then cross-referencing it from your short term memory a second later.

I used to get deja vu and found it quite exciting in a weird way. It doesn't happen any more and I miss it.

I just had it happen while i was reading a book I'd never read before. I suddenly got the strongest impression that I had read that particular paragraph somewhere, in the past.

Didn't we have a thread on this subject before ? I just got a weird feeling that we did

Having lots of deja vu is a precursor to schizophrenia.

That's why, although I think it's cool when it happens, I don't want it to happen too much. I have it about once every couple months.

Whoa!
I often get them get them, and I can even foresee what is going to happen a few seconds in advance, but if I try to tell anyone what's going to happen it wont happen it wont happen, firstly because I can't talk fast enough to tell them, firstly, if I could tell them they're going to be doing something in a few seconds, they will, of course, not do that.

Usually once a week.

I used to get Deja Vu a lot, though maybe now I don't notice it, rather than don't get it. For me, it was always based on dreams. I used to write down my dreams in significant detail - until I started smoking weed, I'd have one or two a night, that I could remember for most of the next day in vivid detail. At first I thought I was having deja vu, but I guess what I had mught be better called premonitions, because about once a month, maybe once every two, I'd get 10-15 seconds of reality that I was certain I'd seen before. I put it down to Deja Vu initially, but then I went back and reread my dream diary, and it turned out that some of the situations I was in, more or less equated to what I'd seen in my deams previously.

I say no more, but two things come to mind:

1. Humans perception of time is just that - I suspect it's the way our minds order the universe, and little more. I suspect we exist in bands of time, simultaneously - if that isn't too much of a mindf**k or a paradox, and therefore with damaged perception, it should be possible to perceive the future, if one is in a receptive (eg, dreamlike) state.

2. Maybe it was just Deja Vu, where the artificial long-term memory could have only been explained by my mind as being a past dream. It doesn't account for the records, however...

It happens when something is changed in the Matrix.

I get Deja Vu due to certain dreams I have. One of them was Micheal Schumacher winning a F1 race, but then that's hardly supruising!

I like Deja Vu, it fills up the boring parts of the day.

i tend to experience jamais vu and presque vu more often than deja vu.

but only after a concussion that left me with 6 months of nausea, blinding headaches and blackouts. prior to that, i distinctly recall having multiple incidences of deja vu tied in with my dreams/nightmares!
