What do you think Deja Vue is..??

[Janus109]

I am sure that I am not the only one who has experience this. I had one of these experiences recently and it sort of rattled me.

What do you think it is?

Would you mind sharing your deja vue experience or experiences?

Thanks in advance.

[Evendusk]

I would choose the missing 'not sure' option. Before I went to college many moons ago I thought deja vu was deeply significant but then there would be days on campus when I would have at least a dozen deja vu episodes one after the other with no epiphany or pastlife revelation or anything at all meaningful occuring thereafter. However, some may experience it differently than me.

Here's a link with information on the topic:

[tebyen]

I'm of the opinion that deja vu is just your brain just extrapolating all of the incoming data that we normally ignore on a day to day basis.

[MysticWitch]

I would like to think that Deja Vu is a mysterious "sense" but I think logically that it is no where near paranormal. I think it's just a brain thing. _wedgie_

[blackroseivy]

Heh, I know exactly what causes this because I made specific note of an incident which was pretty major when it happened to me. Normally you don't remember it, but it's when you have a precognitive dream. Trust me - it happened to me!!

[Janus109]

The incident that spooked me so much was I was interested in obtaining a certain type of business license..well the company that was selling the course and classes for the license was in a town about 60 miles from my hometown. I went there and entered a classroom of sorts. It was a building I've never been to or seen before. I was one of the last of the participants to arrive and I sat in the back of the class.

As I looked around I felt like I had been here before, not just any classroom but THIS exact classroom! It felt like I had also seen the other people before at the seminar as well. Major deja vue.. but that's not all.

As everybody was leaving the building after the seminar was over..this young women walked over to me and told me.." I am sorry, you look very familiar..do we know one another?" I felt like I knew her..but I didn't. We had a little bit of small talk and I changed the subject because I was getting spooked.

It's just hard for me to believe that it is some kind of left/right brain thing.
SHE APPROACHED ME! If I was the only one having a deja vue experience..then I might accept the brain playing tricks on me concept.

rk :idea:

[puchidevil]

I have answered this question in another thread somewhere but I cant seem to find the thread.

Anyway, the short version of what I think deja vue is:

Having had many major deja vue experiences, I believe that it is a 'catching up' with ourselves. I have had many 'dreams/visions' that later came true (sometimes years later) and sparked a major deja vue incident.

I am not sure bout the little deja vue incidents - maybe they ARE something to do with the brain theory. But the MAJOR ones, there is no way it is a brain function when you write down a dream, then forget about it, and days or even years later see it played out for real.

I like to think that when a major deja vue strikes, it means i am on the right path and doing the right thing, no matter how hard that path is at the time :)

[Kittah]

I was torn between choosing the "destiny or fate" option or "something of a spiritual nature". I do not think it is merely a brain function, for me it happens quite often - some times are more signficant then others - but I believe it is an important clue to something... just haven't quite figured out what that something is! :hahugh:

[JasmineRose]

I've always been told that it was your subconscious remembering and reliving certain events even though your physical body and conscious has no prior knowledge of it. But I personally don't know how to explain the phenomenon even though I've experienced it more times than I can count.

[Catiana]

I can't really explain why I think this, but I think deja vu experiences are quick, fleeting subconsious past life memories.

[JasmineRose]

I can't really explain why I think this, but I think deja vu experiences are quick, fleeting subconsious past life memories.

Then how would you explain (if you can) how modern things, that are obviously very modern, feel familiar? Things, conversations, etc that no one in a past life (assuming we're talking generations or more ago) would have any knowledge of?

Take for example last night I was having an online conversation with a friend with several moments that I felt sure I had experienced before but I know that I hadn't. But yet even down to the images on the screen felt familiar even though they shouldn't have been. Following the past life idea (which I am not saying is wrong), that means the past life had to have been fairly recent as modern technology of that nature has not been around that long. Which brings up the question of what is the time frame of a past life? :confused:

I don't think there is any kind of rule about time frame for reincarnation. I think a soul can take as long or as short of time as they want before reincarnating. My mother died 22 years ago, I don't have any reason to believe that she could not have reincarnated immediately and be in a new life now. But that's just my opinion and I my thoughts on deja vu are based on my own experiences which don't include anything modern.

[Silent]

I think it has something to do with destiny or fate. Just because I have had a future vision once. And that proved to me that future is in many ways already happened..kinda hard to exsplain what I mean.

But part from having symbolic clearvoyant dreams this hapened to me once.

When I was 14 I was in school and I had a free period in my schoolday, so I went home and took a nap. I had 2 dreams and then I woke up. It must have been no more that 1-1 1/2. Than I went back to school. First I had icelandis class(same as english class for u), and I realised I forgot a book for that class at home and remeber I had dreamed about it as excactly as it happened. But I kinda wrote it off as dej a voo.

Than I has swimming class. And After the class in the showers I remebered the other dream and in that dream I was on the other side of the doors. And on the other side was 2 of the boys waiting to open the door at the right moment to see the girl naked. So I tol the girls to put their clothes on. And in one minute it happened excactly as I remebered only now I was in the dressing room not above the boys;)

Because I remembered and said it outloud it proved to me I was not imagining it and that it was notdej a voo.

[MerrisHawk]

I've had incidents of deja vu for as long as I can remember. They last anywhere from a few seconds to almost a full minute, the time has increased over the years. I see anything from a few seconds of driving to a full conversation with several people involved.
It comes across to me as a type of radar, a signal that something significant is happening and I have the option to affect it. It may not be significant to me, it might even seem totally bland and pointless at the time but I've found out afterward that something changed for someone who was involved in that incident.

I've had several incidents where I changed what I was going to say or took a different action because I was forewarned that what I was going to do would cause hurt feelings or start problem. The first thing I got was a headache, the second thing was that the entire feeling went away, gone, poof. Usually there's some residual feeling, a shifting back to normal awareness, when you alter your actions that goes away and you snap back getting the headache. I still don't know if changing things is a mistake but at the time things happened my conscience didn't allow me to hurt someone when I knew I could avoid it.

My personal facts are still far too limited to make me happy:
1. I have no control over what, when or where Deja Vu occurs.
2. Time is variable for each occurence.
3. Deja Vu is has a small area of effect, it only applies to those I come in contact with or myself.
4. Incidents occur that involve the physical and supernatural.
5. There is always a slight sense of shifting to a different awareness both beofre and after incidents.
6. The full details of the occurence are known as soon as it starts to play out.

I'm sure there are more or that someone can add to this list, these are just the things that are constants for me. I'd love to know if these facts apply to anyone else?:spaceman:

[Autumn Clair]

a glitch in the matrix
a dimenisional shift
something having to do with destiny or fate
knowing someone from a past life..
there is nothing paranormal about deja vue..
something of a spiritual nature..

You gave some interesting possible reasons. I'm still wondering about the matrix thing as a child I believed in this so the possiblity would be there for that to ring true. Children are more prone to know things. They can tell good and evil just by looking at it.

dimensional shift this is also a good possibility. Living different lives and getting a shift would cause one to see something from one world and then experience it in their own. Time wise I'm not sure how that would work. Would we be living in the same exact time like 12:00 as 12:00 or would it be different 12:00 in one deminsion and 10:00 in another?

I'd like to think it has to do with destiny and fate. It guides us down the right path like check points in our lives.

This one is very interesting to put to thought, knowing someone in a past life but it's not always someone connected, so though it's an interesting thought how would you explain getting the message if no one carried it to you. I would like to think of it as a messanger service in this case see the person but it should be you receive the message without seeing the deliveryman........

Well, those are my thoughts on it.

[tarotgirljess]

I know i answered this once before but here goes:
to me deja vou is a sign that I'm on the right path and where i am supposed to be. it has also served as a warning for me. you asked for examples here are 2 that illistrate my point.
1) warning. i moved in with some friends. i was sitting on my bed getting ready for work one day when i had a flash of my then BF getting angery and hitting me. in what i saw he also tipped a bookcase over on me. I finished getting ready for work, went out and told my friend about it. later on that week. Then BF and i were fighting. he said something that was word for word what had been said in my flash. Gave me the deja vou feeling and i knew things were about to get worse. i slowly started working my way to the door and got my car keys ready. it took a few trys before i could make it but i did leave without getting hit. If it hadn't been for that flash my aries mouth probably woulda got me hurt.

example 2) letting me know I am where i should be.
my Brother in law had died and with that came a ton of issues. I was tucking my son into bed and had such a strong feeling of deja vou, that i was where i was supposed to be and that things were how they were meant to be.
when i was a single mom before i met my hubby, we had just moved into my house, just DD and me and as i was unpacking I had the strongest feeling of having lived here before and that I was on the right track.

Another one was simple. i flashed to hubby slapping me on my butt and it setting me off and starting a nasty fight. I just knew he was about to. I stopped turned around, told him not to even think of it cause he'd hit to hard and i'd get pissed. the look on his face was priceless.

[Astara Seague]

a past life connection something that happened before
it also is an indication that you are on the right track

[WokeUpDead]

I forget exactly but I think it's when the message gets to your brain too early or late. I don't remember which one.

[Philosophia]

Okay I've been having a lot of deja vu lately, and its usually connected with my dreams (which have also been very realistic).
I don't know what it can be.

[Epona44]

Some biochemical

and some extrasensory

I think it depends on the situation and the moment, and there can't be a single explanation for all events

It's weird when it happens

[Lioness Blackfire]

I voted spiritual nature, because I couldn't decide between dimensional shift, fate, and past life, and that seemed to encompass all three to some degree. (Though I was severely tempted to go with the matrix. :hehehehe: )

I can't speak for other people, but for me, when I have a deja vu, it signals that I've had a dream about the situation at hand. Those sorts of deja vu instances have lasted anywhere from 30 seconds to 8 hours in length, though they usually tend toward the smaller numbers.

Examples... hmmm...

The longest deja vu I've ever experienced was the eight hour one mentioned previously. From the time me and my friends gathered after class through till midnight, I knew every last little thing that was going to happen, because I'd dreamed it before.
What happened (short version) was - two friends and I met in the math building after classes. We all took the public bus to the zoo, where we wandered a bit and then met up with three more friends. We went behind the scenes to scare people on a trail set up for halloween, and chose a place. Not long after, three of us were taken to a different area of the trail. One of us operated a mist machine, and I hid in short bamboolike bushes for a while before hopping across the trail to a place where I could crawl down a short, steep hill on my stomach. When we were released from duty, we waited outside for a friend's father and talked. He came to the wrong gate (it was locked), and we had to search for a way out. The car was too small, so we had to pile up.
Yup. How riveting was that? (note the dripping sarcasm)
That's actually one of my more interesting ones.

My most truly freaky deja vu, though, involved another person. (Bah. That wasn't a very clear scentence.)
One night (don't recall when) I had a dream. All kinds of random things were happening. The important one is that at some point a guy I'd never met nor seen before swiped this maroon jacket I always wear.
So, okay. It's the next day and I get out of math class a little late. I get in the elevator to go down (I'd take the stairs, but for the life of me I don't know where they are). It stops again after one floor and lets a guy on. After a moment it reaches the ground floor and we both get off. He starts going one way, I another. Then it suddenly hits me - he was that guy! At the moment I realise it, I pause. Out of the corner of my eye, I can see the guy pause at the exact same second. We look at each other for a moment, look unsettled, and go on out respective ways.
It makes me wonder if he had the dream, too.
(A week or so later, we were walking past each other on the sidewalk outside the math building and each stopped and glanced at each other at the same moment again. It was cool.)

Bah. I ramble far too much. :geez:

[KaidaMidnight]

For me, it's that I've dreamed it before. In fact, I've started keeping a dream book, because the "Deja Vu " feeling was coming so much, and I didn't know why. Finally it hit me that I'd dreamed about it. So I've logged all the dreams I've had (I usually wake from having one, and grab my notebook). My first experience was when I was 16. I was sitting at the computer doing homework, and it's like everything slowed down. I remember looking to my right at the phone and knowing that it was going to ring and it would be my friend Talia telling me something bad. Not a second later (though it felt much longer) the phone rang! and it WAS Talia calling to tell me her mother was in the hospital and she needed a ride up there. It was on the drive to the hospital that I remembered the dream I'd had 2 days before and in my dream, I was at the desk, the phone rang and it was her saying a relative was in the hospital. That's when I started keeping a notebook. I've filled two of them now since I was 16 years old. So that's what I think Deja Vu is. At least, for me. It could be different for other people. Not everyone is the same, and for some, it might be their present lives catching up with past ones. *shrugs* who am I to say what it is or isn't right? :)

[Rae ShadowWolf]

A theory behind Dèja Vu:

I remember hearing about something, and though my Greek knowledge is very rusty, I do remember bits and pieces.

Once you died, you came to the Acherousian Lake via River Acheron. You stay for a certain period of time, then are sent back into the world of the Living, again, via River Acheron.

While here, you chose your next life, and before you are sent back into the Realm of the Living, you are made to drink from the River Lethe (River of Forgetfulness). After you have drank, and your choice of a new life has been forgotten, you are taken back upstream and are reborn.

To some, they say that Dèja Vu is remembering bits and pieces of the life you had picked before being reborn, and that the Dèja Vu is telling you that you are on the right path; that your picked life is going as planned.

Very interesting indeed. ;)

[Rudas Starblaze]

I am sure that I am not the only one who has experience this. I had one of these experiences recently and it sort of rattled me.

What do you think it is?

Would you mind sharing your deja vue experience or experiences?

Thanks in advance.

rick

ive only been to deja vue once. it was fat guy night and i couldnt see the stage very well. all those neked girls i couldnt see a thing.:atantrum:

[misschief]

i don't think it can be summed up in one simple statement. i think the biggest and most important part is that it is telling you you're on the right path... maybe not the best one, but the RIGHT one. i think some of it is also, as it was put "a glitch in the matrix", and also a dimensional shift. we are living in very dynamic times, there is ALOT going on that you may not (or may) see.

[misschief]

My personal facts are still far too limited to make me happy:

I'd love to know if these facts apply to anyone else?:spaceman:and whatever it is, there is always a dream or a sporadic thought popping into my head before hand... sometimes even years before, but i ALWAYS remember having the thought or small dream 5 seconds or so before it actually happens... i always feel MUCH better (although weird) after deja vu... it's like a sneeze, it's a HUGE relief to get it out.

[Parakeet]

Deja vue is a random miss firing of neurotransmitters in the brain, your brain is unable to interpret this so it says that it has seen the scene before. It can be attributed to anything paranormal that you like, but deja vue can actually be controlled and manipulated in a test setting.

Deja vue is a well explained phenomena. Basically, your right & left brains "hiccup", so to speak, and your right brain generates a memory of something that never happened.

EDIT: The neurotransmitter post above is far more accurate than "hiccup".

That's why you can never remember WHERE you saw whatever it is.

Jamais vue (when well-known things suddenly seem terrifyingly unfamiliar) is similar in cause.

Then, of course, there's Vuja de...the feeling that you've NEVER seen anything like THAT before. :santasmil

[sincerebliss]

I've read all the way through this thread and there are just some things science cannot explain. I've been having Deja Vu multiple times a day lately, and I always feel that it means I've been going on the right path for myself. I never could understand how my sister would always have deja vu and spiritual experiences with Jesus and I never had it as much...until now. I'm having it a ton lately and I guess it's because I'm going the right direction, eh? I think it's pretty interesting...

[Fyre_Nymph]

I get Deja Vu, but mostly it's stuff that connects wit my past life/lives. I'm up to about 3 that I know of. but, Vu JaDe is completely different. that's teh feeling that you hadn't been/seen that/there before.

so.. what about when you can remember seeing it before, and it was a dream? that's not a misfiring neurotransmitter.

Neither is it Deja Vue.

Just saying.

[Little Billy]

so.. what about when you can remember seeing it before, and it was a dream? that's not a misfiring neurotransmitter.

Neither is it Deja Vue. The definition of Deja Vue us "remembering" something but not knowing (as opposed to not remembering) WHY you remember it.

Just saying.

[Clytemnestra]

All my experiences have been really boring mundane things, but I have in some way had a premonition about. Generally, in other words, it's the dream come true aspect for me.

[XanderAmon]

It varies. I've had places remind me of dreams I've had, at times (though not often) I've connected it to past lives, and sometimes I think it's just a fluke!

[Cindlady2]

I think of it sourt of like when my head gets too far ahead of my hands when typing (or talking) The mind just got way ahead of 'here and now' then we rember it.

[mucgwyrt]

I can always trace my dejavu experiences back to dreams I've had weeks-to-years prior.

I recall dreaming the event, and waking up and thinking "wow, that was an odd dream".

So, my dejavu at least, are past dreams - maybe past dreams where I've somehow connected with the future.

[instinct]

i'm like mucgwyrt. my deja vus generally stem from dreams. places i've never seen before, but have dreamt about and then end up there in the future..

i've heard scientific theories about time not being linear, but rather being circular. in this case, deja vus may as well be memories, because your future would be your past, and vice versa.

just a late night brain boggler. :)

Science can explain all of that, there is a part of your brain that can be linked to controlling "spirituality". Random misfiring of neurotransmitters can explain that just as easily as saying you're actually having a vision or having deja vue?

care to elaborate mysterious girl?:hahugh:

[Katss]

I think its a precognition you have that you are not aware of.. perhaps in a dream or what people pass off as day dremaing.. usually they are such normal events we dont bother to remember them.. but our brain remembers something from the moment (such as a shirt color or a ballon) and when we finally get to the moment ..we go hey wait a minute..

So I suppose spiritual fits my thoughts

Thats my theory :)

[Renny]

To be honest, I have no idea. I want to know what the hell it is though.

Have you ever had a deja vu OF a deja vu? Like when you have one, you know that you have had this same deja vu before? Crazy!

[laserhazel]

A Deja Vu is actually when you experience an experience which your mind has already foreseen you experiencing. You are literally searching your entire future at all times and sometimes you reach places that really made an impression on your foreshadowing sub-conscious.

[Amythyst]

It is your mind tuning into your past, present, and future all at the same time.

[Rudas Starblaze]

a nudy bar over in springfield that doesnt serve alcohol and every night is fat guy night so you cant see the stage so theres no point in going........

[inkywitch]

care to elaborate mysterious girl?:hahugh:

I think deja vu can be a manifestation of a few different things...

Preminitions, dreams, or messages from guides/Spirit that don't stick in your head, but you half-remember when triggered by the place, word, smell, ect that is causing the deja vu. When I do guide awareness, I often have gone so deep I can't really hear what I'm being taught, but when it's triggered and I need to know, I'll have a very deja-vu kind of feeling as a process of remembering it.

I think it can be a syncronistic event, so something to do with fate or destiny (or a signpost from Spirit, as I view it).

So, it's something of a spiritual nature, whether it be memories from past lives, or dreams, or other examples I listed above.

[Cyzarine]

I think deja vue can be a lot of things. It's one of those mysteries of life. It could be a sign for you to listen and take in all that is around you for something you must learn. It could be a time in which you have experianced something very similar to a past life. It could even be some supernatural force that is trying to contact you or get your attention. I don't think we have the answers for what deja vue is. We can only give it personal meaning to us. We can try to understand whay it happens and look at the situations in which it happens. That is the best way to learn what deja vue is, if one can know at all.

My personal experiances with deja vue have been numerous. For example, when I was in second grade I had deja vue in the middle of class. It felt like I have been there before. Maybe someone in that room was someone I knew in a past life. It could have also been a similar situation to a situation in a past life or maybe there was something there for me to learn. I've had tons of deja vues and I am still trying to figure out what they mean.

[PoisonIvy]

That's not deja vu! That's a freakin' nightmare!:lol:

[Against The Tide]

I think its to do with fate/destiny when I experinece deja vu, I know exactly what is happening at that time, but not until it happens (like singing a song you forgotten, you know the words AS you listen to it).

I think its significant but I can't puzzle out why, I love when it happens to me though.

[MankyCat]

Depends on the type of deja vu.

[Liberty]

I get it here and there and they come in clumps.

Last time I had them was about 5 months ago and I swear I had like 2-3 within a week and more a week later. I think I dreamt it first and then it happened a day or 2 later, of course I don't figure that out until about a few weeks later. (I get a sense of deja vu but not sure why or where it occurred before.)

[Rainbow]

I'm not entirely sure what causes it, probably all of the options are true some of the time. I know I've recorded my dreams and had things happen that happened in those dreams, but it's really rare. Most of the time I think it's just my brain doing something funky.

The oddest deja vu I've ever had was reading about deja vu on Wikipedia.

[Tranquility]

I've totally dismissed the possibility of Deja Vue as related to a past life in any possible way. Why? Because if right now we are living in the present, which is constantly changing, there is no possible way I was here previously. If I'm in a building that was build ten years ago, there is no way I could have been here greater than 10 years ago, because the building wasn't here. I highly doubt the same building was constructed thousands of years ago, so that's my reasonn why I do NOT think it's past life related.

[Annest]

I don´t really know, but it could have something to do with the prions in the brain. People who suffers from temperal lobe epilepsy often say they have a deja vu feeling right before or during seizures.

I don´t really know, but it could have something to do with the prions in the brain. People who suffers from temperal lobe epilepsy often say they have a deja vu feeling right before or during seizures.

I've heard the epilepsy thing before, and I think it certainly gives some weight to the whole brain-doing-something-funky perception.

One of the kids I worked with over the summer (she was like 14) informed me that deja vu also happens more in women during menstruation. I don't know if she was right, I haven't found an article supporting or denying it, but I'd be interested to learn how or why that is (if it's true).

I've totally dismissed the possibility of Deja Vue as related to a past life in any possible way. Why? Because if right now we are living in the present, which is constantly changing, there is no possible way I was here previously. If I'm in a building that was build ten years ago, there is no way I could have been here greater than 10 years ago, because the building wasn't here. I highly doubt the same building was constructed thousands of years ago, so that's my reasonn why I do NOT think it's past life related.

This is just me (and probably the people who brought up the idea in the first place) being trippy, but in some versions of past life theory your "past lives" aren't necessarily in chronological order. Of course, if that were the case, I think more of my past life readings would wind up in the future rather than the past.
