The BIG Déjà Vu topic

[moppe]

Me to, I have Deja Vu a couple of times every week. It realy freaks me out.

@ DeyBwah: That's some beautiful metaphorical language (as usual ) to describe the process of the development your true potential! The way you describe it, Deja Vus are more like subtle mystical experiences, satori, where one experiences Being in a flash. Very interesting way to interprete the phenomenon.. It fits perfectly

[DeyBwah]

Mystic..

You and I seem to share a similar outlook on life

Deja Vu's are like subtle mystical experiences! I think the label "Deja Vu" closed my mind to some degree, I would just think of the word or hear it in my head rather than think or feel what it really is..

interesting theory DeyBwah, just remember to accept all possibilities..
i'm sure you do already, but it just read a little overconvinced

i have a theory it could be precog that occurs a fraction of a second before or during the event..
some possible evidence:
in most cases it's more a feeling involving all senses (or maybe a 6th only?) rather than a visual/with thoughts? experience ie. actually remembering

sometimes there is the feeling that you thought about it happening a long time before the event (days for example)
but you can't (usually) pinpoint when you actually thought about it
even though the feeling seems so sure

finally, the way you can continue the dejavu sometimes by remaining in the (state of mind?)
ie. when you have dejavu, tell someone straight away, have dejavu that you told them...etc
it seems you can keep it coming which could mean you've found a precog state and are holding onto it for a bit....

your thoughts?

ve been experiencing dejavues since i was little.
however did something change over time. when i was a kid i thought
'i saw this before'. when i grew older it started to occur like 'i know
that i was like this before thinking i saw this before' [on the double- get it?]
and it has increased ever since until i felt like my mind was
looking into the infinite variations of existence.
... and now... when i have a dejavue its like... being one. like a child.
with the awareness that everything is the way it is because it is the way it is.

oh. what i think dejavues are? i dont know.
could be that you experience two [or lots more ;P] timelines / dimensions at the same time.
or that they merge. or that memories from past incarnations arise.
existence is infinite , so everything you do exists in infinite different variations
and infinitly the same as well...

for me, when something out of a dream reoccurs in the awake its actualy a different
feeling to a dejavue.

salaam.

I really like this topic!

When I was younger, I had more dejavus, today the last time really has happened months ago. What is interesting, is that I have had many dejavus that were 'the same'. For example, when I was a young boy, and I played football, many times it happend that the ball would pass me in a certain way, which immediately induced a deja vu. That happened many times, every time in the exact same way!

It is really a strong feeling, almost like you are entering a whole new universe, in which the deja vu event is like happening all the time without a pause! When I have a strong deja vu, I really feel like being warped into some place where like time doesn't exist or something.

[realworld?]

i heard that deja vu was caused by a slight delay in sensory perception

i.e some of your senses react a fraction of a second slower causing your brain to think that you have done it before when actually it all happened at the point you experienced it

personally, i think this is the best explanation i have heard for it anyways

my friend once explained to my why u have DeJa Vu, i think he said he learned it it one of his advanced science classes....anyway....what he said is that for some reason the electrical signal from your eyes somehow goes through your part of the brain that is memory before it goes to the part that interpets the signal into what you see...so, when you see it, you think that your remembering seeing it, when it really has just gone through your memory first....i think it sounds like a very reasonable explination although i'm not sure if it is true or not.

for a long time i have known what deja vu meant in my own mannor, feeling like you experienced a moment before or a feeling of familiarity of a moment in time that "you have been there before" etc. well ive never known why it happens or any other slightly logical meaning to it. why it happens, how it happens, etc. i just know that i get em alot at varying strenghts. so far, my strongest deja vu moment was during this past summer while lifeguarding at a pool. i was emptying trash from a trash can then it hit me "i been here before". right then and there, like it was a memory that i could remember, i knew that another lifeguard was going to come and ask me a question about something. so i turn around and there the is, the other lifeguard. she says "i got a question for you...(says question that i already knew what it was)". i didnt want to say "yea i already know what ur gonna say and (response to her question)", or tell her the answer to her question before she asked it, cuz that would freak her out. another moment in the past week when i had deja vu, i could almost pinpoint when i first had the unknowledgable "foresight" of this moment, which was in the spring of last year. all this was a bit hard to describe, my experiences, but i tried. anyone give any statements about deja vu or whatever?
