Have you ever experienced deja vu? Can you explain it?

Not only has that happened to me, but a few times, I got the feeling and I made decisions based on what I felt - I have been here before and then navigated around this place very accurately. I often wonder if it is something I saw or read about but did not remember reading or seeing but my subconscious did. I do not know for sure. The mind is a mysterious thing. Maybe it is part of a collective consciousness.

when my sister and i were little my parents were taking us around chicago where my mother lived as a child. neither one of us had seen this one area before but we both kept feeling like we knew the place. we both got excited yet were perplexed. i cannot explain it.

Hi, This is something that happens to me quite often. I have had this since I was about ten years old. It tends to creep out the people around me. When it happens it is very vivid. I am not sure of the reasoning or explanation, but I do know that one of my daughters who is now 12 gets the same thing. That is around when it first started happening to me. Weird. cheers,

I feel that it could be either the future or the past.We have all this inside us and something happens that triggers us to remember.Everything comes from atoms.We are atoms with energies and when we die the atoms we leave behind and enters into us with memory energies.We have the memories of everything in us.We came into our human body to experience our existence in a human body in the third dimensetion.We are all spiritual beings having human experience on this earth today.

I sometimes experience deja vu but i'm not able to give an explanation and i think no one could.it often seems a dream i made time before or sometimes when i look a new man or woman i have the impression of having see or talk with him/her before but many times i find out it's impossible.

First I enjoyed this move very much and have watched in many times to try and understand more and more . I have experienced deja vu many times, I can be driving along a street and something happens in front of me or on the footpath and I say to myself that I have seen that exact scenario before, why is this I dont know but I do believe that we have either dreamt these things looking into the future or we have been there before. Many times I have had the feeling that I have the exact same conversation with someone that I have only just meant and it feels as real to me as any other experience. I dont know why it happens I just know that it does and there has to be a signifance for it.It doesnt drive me crazy I think of it as this, there has to be something far superior to us and just maybe this is there way of letting us know or helping impart some further knowledge or awareness.

Maybe it's something in the intuition that reminds us. I do not believe in past lives but I think that there is something in the human "inner spirit" that wants to tell us something. There are simply some things we cannot rationally explain I guess.

I have read that deja vu is actually a replay of what we are shown before we are born and when we get that feeling it is actually us remembering some of what we have seen...and just last week I saw an actual film of a baby in the womb and they said they could tell the baby was dreaming by the eye flickers so my thoughts are maybe the dreaming was actually the time the baby was shown a little about his or her life... I also read in this book that when we die we are show what lives we lead...that could be interesting...

Sometimes I have a sensation that I've dreamed an event. As if I dreamed the life sequence before and am now living it for real. I don't know how else to explain it. It's as if I have seen it ahead of time in a dream. That's how I experience deja-vu They had a fun way of explaining deja-vu in the Matrix.

I've experienced it way more often then you would think! I'm not 100% sure why, really. One of my big theories about life is that you live it, over and over again without realizing it. I'm kind of into the whole reincarnation idea but not into an animal or anything but reincarnating into yourself over and over again each time retaining a bit of the the time before & hence my thoughts on where that feeling of deja vu' comes from. I also believe that it could come from just noticing something small in the room sub-conciously that makes you believe that you were in the room before. Such as let's say it was a particular type of candle that you've had in your house before & you go to a friends house you've never been to before & notice that same very candle but don't think very much of it but sub-conciously you do which gives off the feeling of deja vu when you enter the room! Of course, these are just theories. Noone can truely know where the feeling of deja vu' comes from.

I experience it quite often, especially after waking up.

I experience them quite a few times. I cannot really explain how or even why it happens. Most of the deja vu I had is visual in nature and there's always a cue. For example, when someone comes through the door during a meeting, I would notice that the situation is somewhat familiar, as if I saw it happened before. The memory of the vision is a little blurry, like what you see in a dream, so I assume that deja vu has something to do with dreams. Maybe dreams that we have forgotten. But I just cannot find the explanation that dreams are visions of the future, because as far as I know, dreams are made out of what we experienced in the past.
