Any opinions?
I have an interesting opinion on it. Well, actually I read it in a book.  Here it is: Is it possible that the unconscious mind registers the moment before the conscious mind so that when it does reach the conscious mind it is perceived as a memory?
I really don't know.

I don't know, but I have experienced deja vu way too often.

I write it off as coincidence. Something happens in a dream, it gets imprinted on our memory, then it happens in real life years later. Deja vu.

I think it weird. Maybe we dream it, maybe its just weird thing our brain does that tricks us into thinking we've experienced it before.
But the struggles make you stronger and the changes make you wise, and happiness has its own way of taking its sweet time. Life ain't always beautiful, tears will fall sometimes. Life ain't always beautiful, but it's a beautiful ride. ♥ |

They say that deja vu--the noun type--is usually because you've seen a certain pattern or object before, and it seems to make you think you've seen the whole room before.
The verb type is... uh.. Really odd..

what's the difference between the noun and the verb?
Tell me about your beliefs and I will listen. Discuss your beliefs with me, and I will discuss mine. Thus, we both will learn. Preach your beliefs to me, tell me that they are the only ones that matter, and I may hit your head with a frying pan. |

I think it's weird, but it does exist. A lot of times I'll just stop what I'm doing and swear that I'd been in that exact situation before. Like the room will be the same, the people, the time, the topic.... And I'll try to remember where or when I'd been in a nearly identical situation but I can't. It's give me a kind of uneasy feeling.
The mind unconciously registering an event before it happens does kind of make sencse though...

I've had two instances of deja vu - neither of which felt entirely comfortable. The most recent time was two years ago in a place I had never been with one of my oldest friends. It was exhilarating and terrifying at the same time because for as much as I felt I knew what was happening had already happened, I couldn't put my thumb on exactly what it was about the situation that was so familiar.

I get it sometimes...then it just disappears. I might be looking at something, then I think "I've seen that before!" but when I try to recall it from memory, it doesn't feel right anymore.

Deja vu can be many things for many people, as can clearly be seen here, but some insight into he phenomenon might be gained by contemplating the nature of time itself. All we directly experience of time is what our senses record in the present, but how long is the present? Once something happens to us it becomes the past, which happens instantaneously. The present is no more than a point (in the geometric sense as well as nearly any other) on a line, but is that line straight? Would we know if it curved or looped? Are our perceptions bound to continuous time, or do we create the illusion of it by the nature of our crude physiological senses?
What if consciousness merely operated the body through physiology, but could exist without it? How would time be perceived then? We hear stories about prophetic dreams and astral travel from all over the world, and each of us can choose to believe or not, but how much can we really know? The answer lies only in experience, and even that can fool us.
I have an irrational suspicion that when a person's mind is displaced from the ordinary perceived flow of time, and comes closer to witnessing more of the superphysical nature of time and even space, that deja vu could be one of the possible effects. Clairvoyance, precognition, or telepathy could be other such effects, but I have no direct evidence to support the existence of these phenomena. There's a good chance it's just a feeling we get when we experience something similar to something else buried in memory. All I know for sure is I experience deja vu more when my mental state is jolted out of it's ordinary confines, which is odd because the experience should be one of unfamiliarity, not familiarity. If a dream I'm having becomes lucid, I recognize it first as a feeling of deja vu followed by the realization that I am indeed dreaming. Kinda strange...
It's funny that no one will likely read this....

i havent had deja vu in like forever and what is also wierd is that i cant remember any of my dreams. I havent remembered them in like a month. Which is wierd cuz u dream like 17 times a night and so it is said that one of those dreams is a channel into what will happen in the furture but u dont always remember all ur dreams and so it only happens once in a while. KARAZY!
I am not an expert or anything but that is what i have read and stuff.  the last time i had deja vu was in kindergarten...it was insane cuz i remembered what the teacher was going to say!!!! i hardly remember it....okay i am going to stop typing now because i have nothing else to say.
*Sigh* I have nothing to put in my siggy. Thats really sad... |

I get Deja Vu with frequency. For instance, I was watching the TV show 24, and I was sure that I had seen that scene. I really don't know where, but I'd bet a TV was involved.

Sometimes if I go to a new place I feel like I've been there, maybe in a dream or something. It's only for a second though, and only that exact spot and time. Weird.
I am so smart! S-M-R-T! |

Something similar to Deja Vu has been happening to me a lot lately. Usually I'd be doing nothing except thinking of something. If I thought that the phone isn't ringing lately, it'd ring right then. If I'd think of a friend calling or coming, they'd call or arrive just then. my list goes on and on.

I experience deja vu quite often - sometimes to the extent where I know in advance what someone is going to say or do, or am even aware of how a 5 minute+ conversation will pan out.
What creeps me out is when I "remember" what I will say next (if that makes sense), and for the life of me I absolutely cannot force myself to say something different, even just to rephrase something without changing the meaning. (I try every time!) I assume this is a psychological reaction - but can't really explain it.
