That deja-vu feeling...

Anyone got a explanation on why you sometimes suddenly feel that deja-vu? It is so weird that you sometimes do or say things without really commanding you to do so. It's like you know exactly what's going to happen right now, you know exactly what you will do or say, and it happens!

Creepy...

well there's two explanations that could come about this. there's the scientific one, and that one says that psychologically you believe that you've seen it before, it's trickery of the mind in other words, it's not so much that you want to believe that it's deja vu, but rather your mind playing tricks on you, perhaps it's sporatic stimulation of certain parts of the brain. then there's the paranormal explanation, which is psychic abilities, clairvoyance, perhaps it's short term premonitions. sorry i couldn't explain this better.

I remember hearing a specific scientific explanation once. It said that instead of the brain gradually putting the event in the long term memory, it does it suddenly, skipping the short term memory phase all together. I think that could be a pretty good explanation, and damn confusing to the person going through it too! So basically you'd think you've already been there and done it because it FEELS like you did it a long time ago, but never have actually done it before. Odd.

I'm pretty much agree that its a psychological thing, either that or someones making changes to the Matrix.

LOL those damn programmers messing with the matrix again

Everyone has a sixth sense, some don't know it. Deja-vu is basicly your sixth sense i believe.

What i heard was that it was some kind of circuit problem in the brain. Something like it going straight into long term memory and coming back again.

I don't know to much on it but basically a stimulus comes and is looped back in your brain giving you the feeling that you have alreday seen it.

I think most of the time it is a psychological thing, but sometimes it could be some kind of 6th sense. That's my denial of my brain being really, really messed up ((I get deja vu all the time)).

I don't know if it's 6th sense or brain tricks, but it is definitely weird: you know exactly what someone is going to say, and you know also what you're going to answer, but even if you'd not say that you say it! It's a feeling of living as a witness of your own existence... Really weird.

My Deja vu Drug

Deja vu is when your brain temporarily bypasses the short term memory when dealing with impulses and puts them in the long term making you think you've done or seen something before. That's the simple explanation.

I used to have Deja Vu a lot. Something would happen, such as a red car driving by, and I'd swear I'd seen this exact thing before. Or what somebody is talking about, I swear they'd done that before aswell.

Hey, I have had dreams that come true literally. I dream it; it happens. It runs in the family.

The first guy I ever slept with I met in a dream at least a year before I actually did the meeting--exact, down to the color of his bookbag. More like 3 years.
A guy wrote a song to do in a competition, where I met him at age 16. I sang the song along with him--never met him before, same age as me. I had woken up singing this son in my head when I was about 10, 4 states away.
My dad went to his mama at the age of 5 asking for bandaides. She asked him what for, and he replied that he wanted them so he could fix the water tower--I believe it was after a nap. A week later, the Houma water tower fell.
He also dreamed of an acciedent he had playing football with his friends, then did it, years later--he ran into a tree. This he couldn't stop b/c by the time re recognised it, the branch was in his face.
My older brother dreamed whole days out, altered some small part of the day--telling people what they were going to say, and within 10 minutes, it would alter back to the dream-storyline.
I once even dreamed I was telling someone what they said, to stop it, and nothing changed it. I cought myself with this one about a year back; it changed nothing.
To this day, my dad will not climb on a crane, b/c it fell on him, in a dream. He's a welder, and he works near them all the time. tream does not have the same feeling as the others, but he doesn't want to chance it.
the babie's ahd a few, too, but nothing too memorable yet. Most will happen in later years.

I REPEAT, This is NOT SYMBOLIC, it is literal event by event happenings and they won't stop. They piss me off.

this is the tip of the ice berg.

Dejavu is caused by our higher selves living in a greater reality which includes the future. Our higher selves have already seen what will happen during the day and then when we experience those things we feel as if we've done those things before. It's just a relaying of memory from the higher self to the lower or intermediate self and our sensation of having lived through this before. We have, but at a higher level of our self.

That's what I believe from experience anyway

I get this all the time. Say 1 year ago, I remebered doing something in the past, have a dream about doing something, or think about doing something - something I see myself doing in third person. Well, a year goes by and I'm doing that thing I thought of before, I remeber myself thinking about it also. It REALLY freaks me out and I get chills ... a couple of years ago this activity was increased (it has since died down), and although it is interesting, I don't like it when it happens.
