Deja vu.

Repeatitive events, that you feel you have already lived.

Anyone ever experience one?

For me they happen quite often, it's pretty freaky when they do happen though. I had one a few days ago. Was talking to my mate and I already knew what he was going to say, that he was going to stand up and which direction he was going to walk off in.

Strange...

I get it all the time, very very often. Sometimes extremely vividly as well, it's odd. I think deja vu is just your brain playing tricks on you though although I'd be interested to know if it's supposed to indicate something

well there is a few things people say to justify it -
1) brain playing tricks
2) the signals are delayed going from one hemisphere of the brain to the other
3) we are remembering the future, Steven Hawkings explanation

i only seem to have it a few times a year (3-4), only seem to have the kind where i know what will happen next but not what people will say etc.

Deja vu is so odd, always a great subject. Personally I think it's more of those 'things we dont understand about our brains' and why we normally only use some minor statistical proportion of it for every day life. Hence, the stuff we dont understand when it happens.
I often think it was in sleep that I experienced these things first, although that could just be part of the 'feeling'. I do remember seeing sleep study stuff on the tv more than once with loads of weird brain activity going on during sleep. Kinda adds up, for me anyway.

But one explanation for dreaming, as described by psychologists, is that we dream to erase useless information. The reason we dream about weird stuff is because our brain adds it together to form a logical output. This is why you don't remember many of your dreams. The dreams you do remember are supposedly near the end of the dream cycle and were interrupted.

However, we have Freud's explanation of deep psychological issues and other models to disprove this theory aswell.

That can't be true, I only get 6 hours sleep most nights and that just would not be enough to flush my loaf of useless information. Maybe that's why we here on the forums .... to vent spare useless info heheheh

I absolutely love it when I get deja vu. I actually remember feeling deja vu about the fact I'd realised I was having deja vu ...... if that makes any sense, without 4 stella ;)

Yes but one experiment also showed that on average our bodies live on 25 hour clocks, not 24, whereas others have been shown to live on 30 hour clocks. If you are slightly different there is a logical explanation there that you only need a certain amount of sleep.

I used to have the opposite where I used to deam that ive had coversations with people and then at a later date accuse people of not remembering what I tell them.

Then I decided to drink and smoke more so I dont dream, problem solved.

I think deja vu is your subconscious replaying/remembering past events and matching/altering it to a current event...and it therefore feels the same as something you have done before.


Your subconscious is always analysing what you are doing and continually comparing it to your past experiences to try and help you not make the same mistakes or stop you getting yourself into danger.




The BBC were showing a program about the mind the other day. They were saying this firefighter was in abuilding and he suddenly got this very uneasy feeling about this fire. He brain was actually telling him the fire was very different to all the others he has been involved in. He decided to get out of the building very quickly based on his bad feeling. Just as they got out the building suddenly exploded due to a backdraft.
