deja vu

[MyAntiDrugIsAmy]

almost every day i get deja vu. it's usually clairvoyance. i usually have dreamt the situation before. or sometimes i'll be sitting somewhere and i'll have a certain thought pattern, sometimes i write it down, sometimes i say something to a friend, that sort of feels like i'm zoning out and i have thoughts, feelings, scents, and visuals of a certain point in time. i research it a lot, but i was just wondering if anyone else has this extreme deja vu or knows anything about it.

[Ousted]

I get deja vu often, and its quite a strange feeling to say the least, however, I believe that deja vu is really just a blip or glitch in my normal every day brain activity. Its strange, uncomfortable, but its brief, and generally after the weirdness has worn off I no longer believe that the deja vu experience was any sign of past life experience, clairvoyance, triggered forgotten memory, or an indictator of poor memory. Generally the deja vu experience is infamiliar but feels familiar and because its so short and I cant really place the memory that deja vu makes me feel Ive experienced before, I figure the experience to be like an accidental cross communication in my brain which sorted itself out quite quickly.

[MyAntiDrugIsAmy]

i see it that way for most cases of my deja vu, but i don't know how to explain how i see it happen before it actually happens, like i see it days/weeks/months/years in advance. i've documented it, and when i go back and read it, it's crazy.

Like what? I'm interested, really.

[MyAntiDrugIsAmy]

there are lots of little things really, like when i was a little kid i had a recurring nightmare that came vividly once a year for 6 years. i think it was a result of a trumatic situation i had when i was little, (i got run over by a car when i was 1 1/2 and saw something i associated as a spirit or angel.) so i think that was my psychological coping, but random scenes from the dreams would like pop up to me as i would go places randomly that i had never been, it was weird. and then when i was 8 there was a big scene in with my dad and sister and the cops came and it was crazy. so the deja vu was a little weird then too. then, maybe once a month i'd get the feeling of deja vu, sometimes from dreams that i recalled and sometimes from ones i didn't.

another time, was when i was 11. i had grown up in connecticut and out of nowhere my mom decided for us to move to orlando. that night i was so sad and bawling in my room, and i grew up in church so i was praying at the time and all of a sudden i had a calm, happy feeling go through me and i saw this neighborhood that was all florida looking and i was just looking up at a lightpole and talking with a bunch of kids in the neighborhood and then i zoned back into reality and realized i saw something weird. i felt a little better about moving and i was able to cope with another really hard time in my life.

so then that lead to now, through high school i went to church and i couldn't stand it for the most part because of the hypocrisy and problems in the church but i still went for a little bit of spiritual fulfillment. but i graduated in 04 and since then i have been getting more in tune to my spiritual life, and God and the universe as i've stopped going to church, that was like a year and a half ago, then i started smoking last january and my spirituality has been even better. but with that i've been getting drastically more deja vu. it's more vivid, and it's powerful. so, i don't know. i've talked forever about this, and i doubt anyone has even read all of it, but i guess i'll stop before i fill up 20 pages.

[Ousted]

I often have the same dream every night, and when I wake up it totally freaks me out because its the same events in my dream (or I believe them to be once I awaken, whatever the case, its freaky) and they seem to have little meaning or relevence. Yet, I have the dream over and over. That might be deja vu, but I had never thought of it that way. And I couldn't tell ya if something or someone is trying to tell me something, or if my brain just tends to skip at night and its really just an annoyance.
I also notice this dream to happen after Ive smoked (which is almost every night, if not every night.) so Ive often blamed cannabis for this dream being stuck on repeat.

What you're describing however sounds more like repressed memory, which I dont think is what deja vu really is. I could be wrong. I probably am, lol. See if you're insurance covers therapy, and delve deeper, cuz it really does sound more like repressed memory from trauma than anything else. Or you smoke much too much cannabis, lol. ;)

[MyAntiDrugIsAmy]

haha, yeah, i don't think it's repressed memory so much because of how i write shit down and it happens the next week. but i also think the cannabis contributes cuz i am more aware of it.

you'd think that if deja vu was a past life experience or just a recollection of some futuristic event, that it'd happen more often, and if it is, does that mean your not fullfilling your life to the complete, or just simply veering off your life's pre-built track? i guess it all depends on the person's thought of life and whether or not reincarnation of the soul is a possibility.

it makes more sense to think that it is just some kind of glitch in the brain, but would be more interesting if it was some supernatural connection made between the host and their future.

I completely agree that its much more interesting, and its definitely fun to think about! And I do think about it, and even get excited by the possibilities my brain can come up with which oftentimes defy my current beliefs, environment, and knowledge. Its kind of a fun entertainment, like virtual reality, but at the end of the day I dont take my ability to be imaginative as some spiritual idea or concrete insight. :)

[Ganj]

if you can imagine it then anything is possible. my favorite idea is that of the movie, hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy. where the men in the universe are building the world, as if those were the people that have already passed and are fullfilling their afterlife by creating new life.

[MyAntiDrugIsAmy]

patronizing peoples' thoughts is cool

[flamingskullballs]

the scientific reason for deja vu is that your brain kinda misfires, and that gives you the feeling that youv seen this before, and thought this before, because you literally have...

i believe this to be false...i believe deja vu is a foretelling of the future, but the future can happen so quick...like 1/16 of a second from now is still the future...but i also believe that time is like a bunch of pictures, and what the future holds for us has already happened...

[death of sXe]

the majority of peope at one time or another will experience the eerie, almost otherworldly sense of dislocation known as deja vu.
Literally the phrase means "already seen." Itâ??s that uncanny feeling that youâ??ve been in a place before, or dreamed that youâ??ve been in a place, even though you know for a fact youâ??ve never been there, that youâ??re seeing it for the first time in your life.
Youâ??re walking into a room or down a city street and suddenly an overwhelming sensation of familiarity washes over you - and, as suddenly, vanishes: This is not the sort of thing scientists can drag into the lab and put under the microscope.

....
He learned that about two-thirds of individuals have experienced déjÃ* vu at least once. People who travel frequently or are better educated are more likely to experience déjÃ* vu. So are political liberals, people who readily recall their dreams, and those with certain types of epilepsy. As people age they seem to have the experience less often.
Why liberals? Are they yearning for elections past? "Maybe because theyâ??re open to different types of experience," Dr. Brown surmises, "experiences outside the mainstream."
DéjÃ* vu commonly involves a place or a scene that seems familiar.
"Setting seems to be a key element to all déjÃ* vu experiences," he says. "There are a couple of explanations for this that could be tested with the right equipment and circumstances." "Weâ??re peeling away the layers, like an onion."
One surprise, which needs further testing, says Dr. Marsh: "The more unique-looking places produce the stronger results. Thatâ??s the opposite of what we expected."

i get deja vu every day... but its not uncomfortable for me, it used to be, but ive gotten used to it. I do have dreams of whats going to happen tomorryow.

and i have drems that are vague messages of paths i can take and the pros/cons of them, and its always right on in its symbolism... only trouble is its pretty vague so i normally dont figure it out till ive already fucked up

yeah, do you have any thoughts on why it occurs?

[Euphoric]

It happens when they change something

[Stoner Shadow Wolf]

because i believe EVERYTHING (even a sneeze) happens for a REASON. even though you might not initially realize there was a reason for it, it could have a reason pertaining to your or someone else's past, or future. even the tiniest thing could have huge impacts on the future, or reveal huge details of the past.


AS such, i believe there is a deep reason for deja vu most of the time.

sometimes it is simply brain glitches, but they still happen for a reason, nothing is at all pointless on the smaller scale, albiet completely pointless on the grandest of scales.


all in all, deja vu pertains to something that might be important in the past or future, and i really doubt that the present time in which it is experianced has a lot to do with the initial feeling of deja vu.

[willystylle]

Deja Vu is a 'short circuit' in the brain. It happens when you process information but your brain accidentally stores this information in the wrong place, leaving you to believe that the event has already occured and is occuring again.

Only one way to stop getting Deja Vu - Don't allow your brain to process and store information. When you're high your short-term memory stops working - so stay high and you won't get Deja Vu anymore.

(P.S. Deja Vu is french for 'Already seen')

i'm not sure how having a dream that has been written down and then it happens is a short circuit. no one has seemed to get that. i know what the other deja vu is, i get that too, but this is different.

[willystylle]

I know it sounds strange but if you ever get Deja Vu again keep telling yourself that this is the first time its happening, it hasn't happened before, its just a glitch, etc. You'll see it goes away very quickly.

[JunkYard]

The TRUTH: We are all time travelers, and everything we ever do, and will ever do, we have already done; that's why we have deja vu, ya dig?

o.k, so I'll just speak for myself...I'm currenly traveling 'back' to the the future via everyday life! It's slow going, but I'll get back eventually. ;)

[poorprincess]

I get daja vu. I hate it. HATE IT. It's like an Alanis Morriset song! You get there just in time to see the bus drive off without you and you think, "deja vu!". It'd be nice if I could see it again, before it happens, so that I'd be able to do something about it.

[FunkyMonkey]

almost every day i get deja vu. it's usually clairvoyance. i usually have dreamt the situation before. or sometimes i'll be sitting somewhere and i'll have a certain thought pattern, sometimes i write it down, sometimes i say something to a friend, that sort of feels like i'm zoning out and i have thoughts, feelings, scents, and visuals of a certain point in time. i research it a lot, but i was just wondering if anyone else has this extreme deja vu or knows anything about it.

My belief is similar to yours. I believe that many times the feeling that people call deja vu is like seeing a sign that tells you that you are walking your right path amoung other things. When I have premonitions, only sometimes do I recognise them as such. Many times they are dreams that I cannot find the meaning in until later when the moment happens in waking life. This serves to tell me that I am on track and reaffirms my faith and confidance. When I have a premonition that I recognise as a premonition it serves to prepare myself and others for what is coming.

As a small child I trusted and became comfortable with them. As I grew older and I was being slowly brainwashed by our societal system, the false things I learned and obsorbed began to convince me that I was crazy and that it was not normal or healthy to believe that I caould see ahead. I began to supress the gift and eventually became unaware of it.
It was after I began the process of unlearning what had been programmed into me that I became aware again and reclaimed the gift as mine. Now I trust in what I see with my 3rd eye more than what I see with the other two.
Sometimes the messages and visions seem insignifigant, like what someone will say in a conversation or small interpersonal events while sometimes they seem more profound, like events after 9/11... but they are all equally important and they all move me one step closer to understanding and enlightenment.

My advice would be to hold onto your gift and never allow yourself to doubt it . It is a sacred tool that will guide you, prepare you, and keep you connected to your sacred self. It is also part of your role in your circle to use this gift.
Sight is not reserved for 'saints' or religious figureheads.

peace.

Willystyle hit the nail on the head. It's in your brain, and it's just a "short circuit" like he said, so you actually believe you have seen this before, and that's it's not the first time. It's simply science!

This arguement would hold water were it not for the fact that when we communicate our visions to other people or write them down to better understand them or to use as a verification later we involve other dynamics than our own brains.
When I have a vision, and share it, then someone elses brain is involved in the scenerio. When I write it down It is existing physically prior to happening physically hours, days or years later.
How would you explain that away?

Well, you are one funky monkey.

I'll be playing the role of Scully from the X-files for this one: Science is my way!

So you're saying that you write down certain events or actions before they happen, then some period of time later, those event play out in front of your eyes. just as you saw it earlier?

The odds of this actually happening are slim to none, but for all I know, you might be Jesus himself, and can really do that. I just don't see it happening.

hehe well, scully thats exactly what I am saying. :)
History is full of these things, as is the present.
Its a wonderful life affirming thing and it fills me with awe each and every time. I was born this way, as I believe you were. You just have it buried under science.

peace.

[Its a Plant]

Every Scully does need a Mulder, so thanks!

Just like in the show, I too might one day look past my life of science to see things the way you, Mulder, see them.

that's what i've been saying all along, that yeah, ppl have the "short circuits" and especially if they're smoking, but as i keep mentioning, i write down these things before they happen, when i get the feeling like a dream or some other thought might occur.

i kinda wish everyone would stop saying the same thing that it's a short circuit when every post i've made i've explained that it's something different.

I feel ya. But, just as you 'know' your experiences are real, other people 'know' they are not. You know it is real because in your reality you have experienced it and it expanded your perceptions. Some other people have experienced things in their reality that made them limit their perceptions to preclude premonitions and such things.
It is like how some people swear they dont even dream. In their waking reality they have no recollection so therfore it didnt exist.

You have to admit it is a huge challenge to the very fabric of their reality and free will. Not something easy to swallow unless you have first hand experiences.
'Scully' at least appears to be open to learning though :)

[FunkyMonkey]

MyAntiDrugIsAmy:

I just re-read your initial post and it just now sunk in that you said you have this experience almost every day.
As an earth healer I am compelled to make some comments.
You, have a wonderful gift in your hands. If you get entranced in waking periods as well your gift is that much more special. This type of vision is rare. I know many people who have visions in self induced meditation but most commonly they occurr while 'sleeping' and many times details and clairity are lost while resurfacing. I know of nobody who gets entranced while going about their lives and recieves specific detailed visions.
Feelings, fragmented messages are common but what you describe is something I have only heard about.
I feel that the world is in great need of people to use their gift for the betterment and evolution of our planet and all who inhabit it.
I encourage you to share your gift and to expand upon it through experience and understanding so that you may hold the power to open eyes, open minds, and change lives. This gift can be a mere amusement or a profound and powerful tool.
It is up to you how you choose to use it but consider the needs it can fulfil.
If you work on this skill much the same you would develop any other skill you can only get better at it and we can all share in your gift.
Imagine yourself as a modern shaman. Imagine your gift helping others.
Our world needs guidance and the generations of indigo and crystal children need guidance with their gifts.
Ask yourslef if you feel this is something you would be fulfilled doing then act on your answer.

I get this often and what I learned is that time is irrelevent to intuition, insight, hunches or gut feelings. Things that have happened, things that will happen.

Time is not a linear notion in non-physical reality.

It has many dimensions to it. Like rings or bands or the rings of water after a rock is thrown in a calm lake.

Each ring has distance and time difference from the initial event. Other things like emotional energy and intentional energy resides on these rings.

Interpersonal truth also resides here. There are things that you know as truth and there are things we all know as truth through insight or intuition.

This is why nothing you do goes unseen.

Insight experience:

Getting reading to go to work in the morning when suddenly get this thought of a guy I got in a fight with 10 years ago. I replayed it in my mind.

On my way to work I noticed I was almost out of gas so I stopped at a gas station. I got some other things in the store and stood in line. There were five people in the line.

When the guy in front of me paid for his things and turned around I was face to face with the guy I got in a fight with 10 years ago.

We shook hands.

That was meant to be.

[Its a Plant]

Well this Scully is coming into this with an open mind, but at the same time, I still have my beliefs. I stand behind the science of it all because that's the most solid piece of evidence to most people at this point. A handful of experiences can't and won't change the minds of thousands. I've had a couple experiences of deja-vu, but nothing to make me think that any of those instances actually happened to me in the past and/or some other life. If something did happen to me, I would definitely not just shrug it off, but at least think about it. It all comes back to that foxy redhead Scully. She supports her partner Mulder and even buys into some of what he believes, but at the same time, has her own beliefs.

As far as dreams go, I have, for a long time, believed a lot of what Freud wrote on the subject. I recall dreams from a night's sleep and it will all be a bunch of random and insignificant things I thought about or saw recently, then somehow compiled into one sequensive dream. Dreams sure are interesting though, and I have been keeping a journal of my dreams for almost 2 months now.

This is the single most effective tool to beginning to understand your dreams. I predict you will expand your awareness this way. Keep it up.


Ganjasaurusrex, hao. Well put comments about linear time.
And, the insight situation you experienced happened to me as well in almost exactly the same way the only difference is it had been 20 years for me.
I think many people experience this type of sight and just shrug it off with the poisonous word that was created to dismiss these things: "coincidence"

BTW Im willing to wager that your acquaintance had a thought of you as well prior to your meeting.


peace.

[420RoundTheClock]

When I blaze with one of my buddies, and only with him, I get major deja vu, it comes to me and I feel like its something Ive known before but surpressed or just forgot about. And it always reminds me of my childhood.

Id say your right about that. Not the first time thats happened although different circumstances.

This encounter happened in a city with over a million people and come to find out we live on opposite ends by 50 miles.

I never think of these things as strange, coincidence, chance or wierd.
It is what it is and there is a purpose behind it, which is part of something more complex.

Intention carries a lot of energy in what we choose to release because the dynamic affects us the same. Discord must be balanced no different than physical atoms or planets seek to balance themselves.


Have a good one :thumbsup:
