I used to have it sooo much, I still do to some extent, but seriously I used to have them almost everyday. And I got so used to having them my head would be in turmoil.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"I knew that was going to happen..., Darn it I knew I was going to think that!, and that!"

 

 

 

As I said earlier, deja vu usually happens during a stage of your life when you are observant of you immediate surroundings. If you see something different, you brain can sometimes misfire, which scientists believe causes deja vu.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ahh I'm sorry, didn't understand that fully before! How about things such as premonitions and all that, actually being able to say what is going to happen before it does? Happened to me only once playing poker, I saw all of their cards before in a dream, freaked everyone out, lol.

I've experience them several times, actually. One time that stood out in particular was when I saw "Bruce Almighty" in theaters. At the end, Bruce is talking to his wife, and sort of trying to use his powers to get her to love him, but he can't do that, because one of the rules was that he couldn't mess with free will or whatever :P But when I was watching it, I new I had seen it before. Moments before the scene happened, I already had it in my mind, as if I had dreamed the end of the movie before it happened.. It was pretty weird :shock:

DÃÆÃâÃâéjÃÆÃâÃâà vu- The experience of feeling that one has witnessed or experienced a new situation previously (Also known as paramnesia).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There are three different types of acknowledged dÃÆÃâÃâéjÃÆÃâÃâà vu.

 

 

 

DÃÆÃâÃâéjÃÆÃâÃâà vÃÆÃâÃâécu

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Usually translated ' already seen' or 'already lived through,' dÃÆÃâÃâéjÃÆÃâÃâà vÃÆÃâÃâécu is described in a quotation from [bleep]ens:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"We have all some experience of a feeling, that comes over us occasionally, of what we are saying and doing having been said and done before, in a remote time ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ of our having been surrounded, dim ages ago, by the same faces, objects, and circumstances ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ of our knowing perfectly what will be said next, as if we suddenly remember it!"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When most people speak of dÃÆÃâÃâéjÃÆÃâÃâà vu, they are actually experiencing dÃÆÃâÃâéjÃÆÃâÃâà vÃÆÃâÃâécu. Surveys have revealed that as much as 70% of the population have had these experiences, usually between ages 15 to 25, when the mind is still subjectable to noticing the change in environment. The experience is usually related to a very banal event, but is so striking that it is remembered for years afterwards.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

DÃÆÃâÃâéjÃÆÃâÃâà vÃÆÃâÃâécu refers to an experience involving more than just sight, which is why labeling such "dÃÆÃâÃâéjÃÆÃâÃâà vu" is usually inaccurate. The sense involves a great amount of detail, sensing that everything is just as it was before.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

More recently, the term dÃÆÃâÃâéjÃÆÃâÃâà vÃÆÃâÃâécu has been used to describe very intense and persistent feelings of a dÃÆÃâÃâéjÃÆÃâÃâà vu type, which occur as part of a memory disorder.

 

 

 

DÃÆÃâÃâéjÃÆÃâÃâà senti

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This phenomenon specifies something 'already felt.' Unlike the implied precognition of dÃÆÃâÃâéjÃÆÃâÃâà vÃÆÃâÃâécu, dÃÆÃâÃâéjÃÆÃâÃâà senti is primarily or even exclusively a mental happening, has no precognitive aspects, and rarely if ever remains in the afflicted person's memory afterwards.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dr. John Hughlings Jackson recorded the words of one of his patients who suffered from temporal lobe or psychomotor epilepsy in an 1889 paper:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"What is occupying the attention is what has occupied it before, and indeed has been familiar, but has been for a time forgotten, and now is recovered with a slight sense of satisfaction as if it had been sought for. ... At the same time, or ... more accurately in immediate sequence, I am dimly aware that the recollection is fictitious and my state abnormal. The recollection is always started by another person's voice, or by my own verbalized thought, or by what I am reading and mentally verbalize; and I think that during the abnormal state I generally verbalize some such phrase of simple recognition as 'Oh yes ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ I see', 'Of course ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ I remember', but a minute or two later I can recollect neither the words nor the verbalized thought which gave rise to the recollection. I only find strongly that they resemble what I have felt before under similar abnormal conditions."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As with Dr. Jackson's patient, some temporal-lobe epileptics may experience this phenomenon.

 

 

 

DÃÆÃâÃâéjÃÆÃâÃâà visitÃÆÃâÃâé

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This experience is less common and involves an uncanny knowledge of a new place. The translation is "already visited." Here one may know his or her way around in a new town or landscape while at the same time knowing that this should not be possible.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dreams, reincarnation and also out-of-body travel have been invoked to explain this phenomenon. Additionally, some suggest that reading a detailed account of a place can result in this feeling when the locale is later visited. Two famous examples of such a situation were described by Nathaniel Hawthorne in his book Our Old Home and Sir Walter Scott in Guy Mannering. Hawthorne recognized the ruins of a castle in England and later was able to trace the sensation to a piece written about the castle by Alexander Pope two hundred years earlier.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

C. G. Jung published an account of dÃÆÃâÃâéjÃÆÃâÃâà visitÃÆÃâÃâé in his 1952 paper On synchronicity.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In order to distinguish dÃÆÃâÃâéjÃÆÃâÃâà visitÃÆÃâÃâé from dÃÆÃâÃâéjÃÆÃâÃâà vÃÆÃâÃâécu, it is important to identify the source of the feeling. DÃÆÃâÃâéjÃÆÃâÃâà vÃÆÃâÃâécu is in reference to the temporal occurrences and processes, while dÃÆÃâÃâéjÃÆÃâÃâà visitÃÆÃâÃâé has more to do with geography and spatial relations.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There is a lot of scientific research relating to dÃÆÃâÃâéjÃÆÃâÃâà vu. Some cases of dÃÆÃâÃâéjÃÆÃâÃâà vu have been linked with disorders, many cases are just normal daily events of seeing something you think you have already seen.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

People believe most dÃÆÃâÃâéjÃÆÃâÃâà vu comes on when dreams are recorded into your long-term memory (you may not even remember the dream) but them something similiar comes out, and the neurons in your brain misfire, causing you to think you have seen this even happen before.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Has this every happened to you? If it has, what type do you thnk you had? What is your explanation?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Discuss.

I experience it all the time. The worst was probably when we were going on vacation, down the Interstate and I had a flash of Deja Vu and I just KNEW we were going to slam into the guard rail ahead - head on.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Luckily, we drove right past it. It was such a weird experience because I was so certain that it was going to happen, that I had seen it before. But we just drove right past.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*Shrug*

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Maybe it's an alternate Universe messing with our minds. Perhaps in a parallel Universe, I'm already dead. :o

yes ,alot :

i figured out that deja vu is like seeing into the future. you go to sleep and its like a dream but for only like 10 seconds. when the "dream ends you have no memory of it and later that day it'll happen. i figured that out in 2nd grade when my teacher told me to switch desks with someone and i was really confused cause i could've swron she already moved me then i figured it out. this is what deja vu is :wink:

It happens to me a lot... I mean something could happen and it seems to me like a glitch or whatever and it happened before. It kind of creeps me out.

Yeah. That's what I usually get. I just have a small dream that I barely remember and soon, it happens. :? And then, I remember the dream vividly.

Just happened to me today. Sitting in Physics listening to one of those oh-so-fun DC circuit lectures. And I know I have never seen the content before, but I swear I've heard the exact same lecture word for word before...it was wierd...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But this sort of thing happens to me all the time.

Every now and then, it's weird as heck. I'll start to recognize the event/scene, then think "and this is gonna happen next", and it happens.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not saying it's prediction, probably just a weird brain process that gives the sensation of "remembering" a new event as an old one even though the event never was in memory before.

pay more attention when you sleep. you get a vision of that momnet in your sleep making you forget when you wake up then when it happens your loike woah!

I never get deja vu :? .

I get it, a lot. I went overseas for the first time last year and got deja (visite?) from some of the places we went. It happens a lot when I play sport, like I feel this situtation has occured before with everybody else in the same position. I even get them off brand new situations so it might be something wrong with me :( Oh well, :)

I can say that I have little term short term memory.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I experience this quite often.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's horrible

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I will remember things I need to do and it's to late =(

I get them all the time, they're so convincing as well, it's almost hard to brush it off simply as deja vu, it's like I really have experienced this exact same feeling/situation a while ago.

I get that feeling atleast twice a day. I get the feeling like I've already done what I've done at that very instant exactly the way I'm doing it. :-k

Yeah I get that too sometimes. No one in their right mind would believe what I'm about to say (but I'll put it out there anyway :lol: ) - But I've got this weird ESP type of things that during a game of Cricket, I can tell in my mind when someone would get out the next ball. Its happened too many times and on a consist basis of getting it right that it has to be something ESPish. :lol:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyway back on Deja Vu, I get it quite a lot and I can get the situation that, I've experienced a particular situation in the past, and out of those times a few of them have been occasions that I remember later that I've dreamt about.

I have that at least every week. I don't know if this counts as a deja vu, but this happend to me a few days ago:

 

 

 

I had a dream that the school was on fire, during the first lesson the day after (I hadn't told anyone about the dream) the fire alarm-thing went off.

I get it a lot. It's just a feeling of "Oh wow! DÃÆÃâÃâéjÃÆÃâÃâà vu: this has so totally happened before, exactly like this!... Oh WOW, it's still happening!". (That's my inner monologue, by the way). In other words, when each new thing happens, I feel as if I'd seen or experienced it before... but I can't predict what's going to happen, or anything -- though it feels almost as if I am. Someone might say something at which point I feel "oh, yeah, I remember this" -- then they continue, and at each new thing that happens I have the same feeling "ah yes -- that's right, that's what happened" and so on.

Deja vu and its similar feelings is just a small delay in the transmitting of information between neurons in your brain. A "lag" as it were.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So you're telling me I have to worry about myself lagging now too?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Time for an upgrade. #-o :oops:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In all serriousness though I think I Have had Deja Vu before. I don't remember any specific instances of it though.

who hasn't experienced it? i have it at least once a month, just small things, i generally find that it happens when my mind wanders when someones talking or whatever and then i switch back and and i think wow deja vu, it just happens like that for me

i used to never have them, until one time i saw a documentary (not really, just a short little thing) about it and then i've had a lot ever since... but i don't really think it's a psycological thing because i only remember seeing that thing every time i get a deja vu or i watch the matrix...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

maybe it's something on a sub concious level, but i wouldn't know i'm 12 :P

who hasn't experienced it? i have it at least once a month, just small things, i generally find that it happens when my mind wanders when someones talking or whatever and then i switch back and and i think wow deja vu, it just happens like that for me

 

 

 

According to some sources and polls, an average of 30% of people have never experienced deja vu.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Every person who has posted on this thread though has said they've experienced it.

Yes, I've experienced dÃÆÃâÃâéjÃÆÃâÃâà vu, but I don't really have an explanation. It just...happens.

That is true. There are also theories that Deja Vu occurs when something happens that you have dreamed. It really is an eerie feeling though. Unfortunately, it hasn't happened to me for quite a while.
