Somebody in here recently mentioned getting deja-vu.
I have it about twice a year and it only lasts for about 10 seconds.
If you experience it, what does it feel like for you?
I wonder if it is similar for all of us.
Yes, i get it too. I also have visions in my dreams that make me see a little fraction of the next day.
I have gotten it in certain cities/countries. Those being NYC, Paris and England/London.
I always get it when I get hit on the head quite hard whilst playing rugby. Not sure if I have all this big hits stored in my head or it's just my brain being racked and making up that I knew it was coming.
I'm not sure because I always get deja vu a split second BEFORE the hit?
From reading some of the postings above, I believe that some people are not clear on what a Deja Vu actually is. When translated from the French language, it literally means: 'already seen', in the English language.
Just thought I'd mention that, is all.
The universe is a recording but it happens slightly different everytime it replays. You have experienced that moment before, the last time it played.
i get this on a montly and sometimes weekly basis. my dream of flying hasnt come true yet though :P. what is very weird about these dreams for me is that they are about mundane conversations always and never experienced while alone. and my wild dreams never come true. maybe these dreams are metaphors for disbelief and lack of self faith? now as far as non dream dejavu i happened to go through an experience one day and was having a self conversation to make a decision about someone on my way home from work and i happened to have a similar experience and say the same thing to myself in the same place and it was nighttime so it was like perfect repeat
I get it alot, but it freaks me out..lol and I have dreams sometimes that have aspects in them that happen the next day or two..its weird but normall
yes. i love deja vu! but when it happens i try not to think about it too much or i'll trip myself out.
i think i had it ..basically what happens is i dream something about a week or day before something happens but only when it happens do i remembewr it from my dreamm.
Deja vu in French translates in English to this: 'already seen'. I think that what you, frog123, are experiencing are premonitions. You are dreaming things that haven't happened yet. Deja vu's are the exact opposite. I get them about once or twice a year myself, as one person above already mentioned. It's really weird and facinating to me. Everything is the same, for a few split seconds. Everything, right down to the person I am with, the clothes I am wearing, other people around me and what they may be doing, the music being played in the background, the topic of the conversation, the taste, smell, everything! Some people have explained to me that it's a flashback of my past life, but I'm not sure that could be possible. Because if it's me in a past life, wouldn't I be a different being in my past life? Past lives are just that: past lives, so how could I be sitting in the exact same spot, feel the same way and be experiencing the same things I described above if it's from a past life? The more I write about it here, the more curious I am making myself to actually go and look it up now after I've completed writing this. What if I were to have a Deja Vu again right now! LOL!
Deja-vu has happened to me.
Scientific studies have shown deja-vu to be result of a malfunction in the switching systems between the short term and long term areas of the brain.
If deja-vu happens on a frequent basis, see a doctor, this could be a symptom of an illness in the brain.
I'm not 100% sure I have this right, but I think this is what happens:
It's your brain being aware of itself recording things into your memory and it make it feel as though the stuff that's happening in the present has happened in the past. Sort of like a computer glitch.
I think it happens to everyone every now and then.
