I suppose that you all know what Deja vu is. Seeing or living something and having the impression of having done the same thing before. Apparently doctors have been able to explain it from a medical perspective. My question is if you have ever experienced a deja vu and how did you feel about it. I haven't in a while, and when it has happened to me i felt a bit weird to be honest. What are your experiences with the deja vu?

I have had a feeling of deja vu quite a few times. One of the ones that stayed in my mind for a long time was this path. Me and my cousin were just hiking on one of out camping trips and there were all these paths not very well marked but visible. This was the first time we went camping in that area and we knew nothing about it, or not since apparently I knew exactly what path I wanted to take and what was at the end of it. I described the stream passing by the old house, the windows facing the mountain and even the parts of the house that were intact and some of the things that were inside still, including an old doll under one window. I knew exactly where it was. But I have no idea of how I knew all that. Very weird, I"ll say :)

I wondered about the aliens LOL Actually it freaked me out, a lot !!! I had had feelings of deja vu before but something like that had never happened to me. I never learned anything about the house or the people who lived there and I was never back in that area either, but I will always remember this. Maybe I once saw a painting or a photograph of that house or something, it's the only thing I can think about to makes some sense out of it.

Yes I have had Deja Vu several times. Some people think is really part of human's ability for sixth sense. We could have dreamed it and now it is happening.

Yeah, quite a few times.I've heard it described as many things, from reincarnation episodes to simply reliving ten seconds of your life over immediately.It has happened to me quite frequently, I don't mind it , kinda nice to have a mini heads-up,lol.

this all has to do with the mind.ourmind wants so much and we visualize a lot of things in such a way that we do them all the time and when we actually get to go through those things they seem so familiar.i think almost everyone faces and goes through this in their lives at some point or the other.it is really a strange felling to go through it.

Sure.. I seem to recall small details and then it comes but I don't know why. It seems to real at times, almost like I dreamt it or that I am dreaming. Something along those lines. ~Joey

I have never identified deja vus with dreams, but now that i think of it, i guess it could be something similar, yes. Thanks joey.

I've experiences deja vus several times. It's really weird, because you're completely certain this has happened before, but it hasn't. Sometimes I wonder if I've just dreamt the thing and then end up actually doing it, but this can't always be the case. I haven't had a deju vu in a while, but it always make me feel a bit weird.

Yes, i have sometimes even found it frustrating because i felt so sure about it having happened already! It kind of leaves me out of place. Thanks for replying.

I experienced them more when I was younger then I do now. I mean like younger as in elementry school. A few times as a teen but not much and really sense then no that I recall. Strange though my first time experiencing it has always stayed with me. I was 8 or 9 years old and I was at a friends house. We were in her mothers bathroom putting on her lipstick. All of a sudden I had such a strong feeling I had been here before doing this exact same thing. I felt very weird it left a lasting impression on me. After it happened a few times as a kid I thought maybe I had physic powers or something or maybe thought this was not my first life. LOL Now through science we know it is a type of seizure or something.

Well, according to the meaning given by you I think I had DEJA VU for so many times. Many a times I say things or do some things thinking that I had said/done the same thing before. But I am not able to recall the exact place or time. Apart from the medical perspective I think its the mind which makes DEJA VU happen. It is said that when our mind is at complete rest it is the most powerful. That's why we hear of so many saints living with minimum clothing in the ice caves. When our mind is at complete rest it can receive vibrations of the future events and interpret them completely. So thereby, our mind has already come across such events which havent occured yet. Now, it has subconciously registered into our mind about such event. When this event actually occurs the mind just recalls the past and matches it with the present and thereby we feel that it has already happened to us.

Yep, according to what i've read, the mind creates the impression of having lived that moment already. What i don't know is how it does. Might be the way you just said, thanks for explaining.

hmm.. it happens to me quite a lot when i was a child. seriously.. but the time is not like i dream last night n it happen today. no... in primary school, i dreamt of having an accident.. but the accident actually happen after 5 months i have that dream..the same accident, the same place, the same car... hmm.. people said that this deja vu is something like a leaking of fortune by god... in religion, they said that, human's fortune has already been wrote since the their birth time. and when people having deja vu, it means that their fortune is leaking..

My response may sounds flaky on the surface but modern science is beginning to support the notion of multidimensionality. I think deja vu is a momentary glimpse of numerous realities being processed at the same time. It's as if for a moment a filter is dropped and we are able to see the same point in different dimensions.

Well if one day science tells us that deja vu is real and is due to the multiple dimensions existing in parallel, it would be a blast! i hope i can live long enough to hear it.
