What do you think about Deja Vu?

[Jasmin Cottontail]

I know there's a lot of people who experience Deja Vu in some cases. I do experience Deja Vu and I'm always fascinated about it. I'm curious how does it happen or how is it possible to happen? I mean can someone predict what has to happen or is there a chance that we were on that situation and we just experienced it the second time? I'm not sure though.

What about you? What's your theory about Deja Vu?

I think it's already been confirmed that you're not experiencing the future but you're experiencing the same moment twice. One side of your brain experiences what you're doing before the other while it takes a second or two for the other side of your brain to experience it. This is what Deja Vu is. Basically, sometimes, your brain is slow.

I've done some research into deja vu, and while it does exist it's function is more of a personal thing where you recall events that are important that need addressing, or events that you have planned, and it is what is called a trigger or sign post.

One shouldn't read too much into it, but use it as a tool as it may appear when you need to make a choice and may give you guidance on making that choice.

In my opinion Deja Vu happens when our subconcious mind travels in the future. It sounds really sketchy, I know, but it's also one of the logical explanations since you can literally dream about your future. I've had Deja-Vus with people that I'd never met, that's incredibly scary. I'd love to find more about this subject in the future but unless we'll be able to put our dreams on a monitor we'll not see any development regarding this.

My friend told me that she has deja vu all the time, along with her now deceased dad when he was still alive. I could not understand that concept since it hasn't happened to me yet, but I remember her telling me when we were together when I said something, and she was like, "What you said.. Where we are now.. I feel it has happened before." I can't relate to that feeling, but I believe in it.

Deja Vu is a difficult one to understand perfectly. If it really means something or if it is just something in our mind after listening to others experience of it. I think it does truly exist, but I also think that it is a carry on from our past lives. If we walk down a street and remember something, a place we have never been to before, we may have been there in a previous life and our subconscious is remembering that.

I could also be like @fuzyon has stated and be a throwback from the future. I believe that our subconscious is outside of time and can see the future as well as the past.

I've had Deja Vu from dreams and new locations, but not very often and nothing amazing as to remember in vivid detail. Probably the dreams are the scarier ones as they feel like premonitions I've for example dreamed of a person I hadn't see in awhile and only remember the dream again when later on, casually strolling in a mall I find said person.

As for what it could be, I think it could be hypersensitivity to your surroundings that your subconscious captures and you don't. For example, with said friend, maybe my mind noticed her around there before somewhere in the background, but I did not "see" her consciously and just went about my business, so the night I am planning to visit the same mall next day, might spark the dream.

Having a Deja Vu about a location just makes me feel half excited and half confused. I guess with Deja Vu regarding a place I've never been to before, it could be I watched it from a video or be something someone described me really nicely. Or maybe I did was there I just didn't know, for example as a 3-4 year old.

I dream alot of things and then experience then In life sometimes, its really strange.

 

[Zeesi]

I experience deja vu sometimes , that feeling of I've been here before, or I remember this, even though I know it's my first time being someplace.
I find the subject of deja vu very interesting, and I have strong beliefs about why we feel certain things. I believe that we will all find out one day what the mysteries of our lives meant. In the meantime, I just try to enjoy the feelings, and not get too weirded-out by them.

It's funny that I found this thread. I had deja vu this evening when I was in class. I was drilling with my friend and when I did a certain action, the feeling of deja vu hit me. Like I've been in that exact position, with the same person, doing the same thing before.

Weird how things like this happens.

I also have Deja Vu frequently. There is nothing more intense than the feeling of having seen something or done something before. Some people think I'm crazy, but I have met a few others who experience the same things. Usually I enjoy these feelings, but I have recently dreamt my death....and that's not very exciting at all.
