deja vu

  The most intense occurence I've experienced was at school. It started as that vague feeling of familiarity but grew stronger. A teacher was giving a lecture in the library and I began to remember the words he was saying, almost before he said them. There was a row of columns in the room and I knew that he was about to walk around one of these and start pacing while talking although he had been remaining still. He did this exactly as I'd "remembered" him doing it. I felt convinced that, if I'd been able to hold onto this feeling, I could continue to predict his movements but I lost it. This has remained a vivid memory for me for thirty three years. I have no idea what it means.

  My foster parents took my sister and I for a drive to a place I know I had never been to in my life. The entire time I was there I felt like I had been there before. The countryside looked so familar. At that stage in my life I went to very few places, certainly never to this area to the west of where I grew up and which required you to drive there, because my mother relied solely on public transport. Decades later I found out my maternal grandmother's family had lived near that township. I have since revisited that picnic spot as an adult and felt the same feelings, but to this day I have no logical explanation for feeling like I had been there before.

  …déjà vu is thought to be the brain presenting current sensory input as a memory, as if the conscious perception of time had been momentarily reversed. Interesting idea anyway…

  Well, I for one, had far more deja vu type experiences when I was younger. I haven't had it in many years now so.. I wonder how that falls into the camp where they explain it away by saying you are just assigning similar experiences to the one you just had (the deja vu moment), surely if this were the case, you would expect to have deja vu type experiences on a more regular basis as you get older, and your history of similar experiences grow (brain data base). Just my thoughts as a complete lay person. I wonder if anyone has done any research into this kind of thing.

  I have had the same experiences, especially when I was a teenager. As I grew older these occurences went away, until I suffered a brain injury a few years back. All of a sudden I was having deja vu's all over the place. That only lasted for a month or so, which was a shame. So, was it a super natural thing or just my brain acting funny? I like to believe the first!

  Remember the film(with Bill Murray) in Ground Hog Day, where he experiences the same day over and over til he realises that there needs to be something in his life he has to change.   Maybe for some it is a recollection that you need to take notice of that moment, take notice of what is said and the situation, maybe there needs some changes in your life or you need to be aware of something.   This may not always be the case for some people but for those that have certain psychic abilities, it can be a head up for them.   Some may pooh hoo the idea but there have been cases where the deja vu has had specific meaning, so think about it folks.

  I have experienced deja-vu many times, and mostly as an adult (I dont remember any from childhood). It has happened in various situations that I have been in and has been strange every time. I have felt like I could keep it going too...but its almost like my conscious brain kicks back in and questions it.I've never known what it means but somewhere along the line I picked up the idea that it could mean that it's somehow when things are lining up......and I tend to take it to mean Im on the right track. Crazy? Who knows!
