Deja Vu...

[TIkimanJr]

I've often wondered what cuases the phenomenon that is deja vu.... What triggers you to believe that you have already seen an event take place while at the same time you know that this is not possible.
hmmm?

Re: Deja Vu...

maybe we are all really able to see the future but only a handful can do it on demand and wat we interperet as deja vu is just an outburst of this ability? hmmm

Re: Deja Vu...

or maybe it's a memory-related error where what you are seeing is accidently wired to your short-term memory for a brief moment

Re: Deja Vu...

What happens when you smell sarcasm and you swear you have experienced the smell of sarcasm before?

Re: Deja Vu...

The book Mapping The Mind is the only place I've ever heard a decent explanation. Deja Vu is just a problem with the "recognition process" in your brain. Details that you are experiencing are similar to details in your memories, but they do not form a match. So the recognition process is never completed, but it is started. The uncompleted process just leaves you with this eery feeling, like something is familiar.

Re: Deja Vu...

Or you really have done something very similar to what is happening.

Re: Deja Vu...

I experience Deja Vu all the time and my idea about that is that the ast, Present, and Future are all happening at the sam time whether it be one second ago twenty years from now or before you were born. But when Deja Vu occurs I think you are truly seeing into the mind of yourself some point in time (subconciuosly) and you don't realize it until what you saw actually occurs at your point in time at which you are experiencing things.

Re: Deja Vu...

Deja Vu has no real meaning that is known, but to me this mind triggering element resets previous experiences already done, or perhaps for furture preferences. Recarnation can be another deal, but what if we were put back to retry our mistakes, but our Deja Vu's don't fit our lifestyle, therefore not taking consideration on our so called consscience.

Pretty much, or youve had such a similar event happen to you but forgot.

Re: Deja Vu...

I've been wondering... does deja vu happen right away for you, or does it come delayed?

Usually, I go through something, then a couple hours later I could swear I remember having done that before. You know, like way before. Know what I mean? Maybe?

its because a few hours later, you remember doing what you just did and go "wait didn't i just do that? whoa"
