"Good" karma coming back your way, maybe?
Thanks for posting. I get a thrill when I see some of the "older posters" still taking part in the thread.

One time, I actually caught myself having Deja Vu and knew exactly what was going to happen next (and it did). I've heard that Deja Vu is really just cross connections in your brain where you register something before your conscious brain recognizes it; therefore, creating the perception of having seen it before (but really, your brain "registered" it before you consciously became aware of it). This makes sense to me, but it doesn't explain the instances where I dreamed something, remembered dreaming it, and then saw it occur. These are cloudy memories and occurrences, so I call my own experiences into doubt. As for the other paranormal stuff, I've considered joining some local ghost investigation groups to get more involved. There is a burning passion in me about this stuff. Perhaps it is all derived from seeking forms of confirmation that there is something beyond.
Anyway, OP (sled735), thanks for starting this thread 2 years ago and making a difference in my (and I'm sure others) lives.
Can you believe this post has been active for almost 2 years? I do not know if there is anything, beyond my job, I've committed to for 2 years. Phenomenal on all accounts. I have spent the last several nights laying in bed at night reading every post, overwhelmed with a variety of emotions based on the myriad of posts; from happiness, to anger, to excitement, to fear, to bliss, to sadness, and back again. I'm in my late twenties and have hit the inevitable quarter-life crisis of becoming consciously aware of one's own mortality. I believe what people have posted on here and it rejuvenated in my belief that there is more than just the 60-100 years our bodies last on this planet. I am clearly a new member (in terms of signing up). I created an account to post some thoughts I had on progression (check out my thread in the Introductions forum) and to comment on this thread, which has truly inspired me.
My contribution to the topic is limited as I have not had any experiences with UFOs or ghosts or other paranormal activities. The best I have is that I've had overwhelmingly vivid Deja Vu a few times in my life. On more than one occasion I remember, vividly, dreaming about something occurring before it did. One time, I actually caught myself having Deja Vu and knew exactly what was going to happen next (and it did). I've heard that Deja Vu is really just cross connections in your brain where you register something before your conscious brain recognizes it; therefore, creating the perception of having seen it before (but really, your brain "registered" it before you consciously became aware of it).
