Hi, there is something I want to know if this just me or any of you had the same experience like me. Had you ever feel when you were in a place that never been visited, then
you felt like you knew that place, the atmosphere, even the persons. You felt had been there before, a matter of fact, that your first time? What do you say?
It's happen to me couple of time, the last one was this afternoon. Is it normal?

A matter of fact, i do. I think it's called 'de ja vu'. It's when you feel like everything has happened before, or you've been to that place before. It's a natural feeling. I've read that it has to do something about your dreams. You dream about certain places and when you wake up, you can't remember the dream consciously but it s still stored within the subconscious where the dream occurs thats why when you go to a similar place, it also triggers the dream resulting in a de ja vu.

Oh yes, I have felt it quite a few times in my life. The feelings were as if, I knew the place and I had some close connection with it. I don't know how it happens! Because I had never been there ever in my life. There must be some psychological answer to this... I am sure there are many psychologists on myLot, I hope they will explain why and how this happens? Some people say that it is about reincarnation etc. Of course, I don't believe in it. But I am very curious to know the reasons...
Happy Lotting!

Yes, I'm sure I have experienced this in the past although not too often! I think there's a name for this and I'm pretty sure it's called dajavue or something like that!. You almost feel like you have been to this place although you have never physically visited the place. I have one theory and I don't know whether this is true or not. I'm pretty sure that when we sleep at night we leave our bodies and travel in the astral plane. Chances are we could have visited this place whilst in deep sleep! I know this sounds totally crazy but I'm beginning to believe a lot more in out of body travel and out of body experiences. I'm sure your experience is perfectly normal in any case. I would love to have these experiences more often but that's life I guess, I take everything as it comes! Andrew

I have experienced a few times in my life. I felt had been there before with the same person and the same scenario. I just knew from mylot it is called Deja Vu. It sounds magical and fantastic. I can't explain why but I think it is a normal natural phenomenon.
Have a nice weekend.

yeah it happened to me also many times at different circumstances, even the exact words that a person says, this really amazes me and the logical explanation really evades us all, it just tells us that we dont have any idea what is happening or what is going to happen. lets just go with the flow......

yup i experienced it so many times. its from the dreams that you forgot then some situations trigger you to remember them. sometime you feel that the situations have happened before, and sometime you can even predict what will happen next!

Actually, I wondered if this was just a lapse in our brain waves (a sort of bump in the night in our brain) or if it hearkens back to reincarnation? Guess we'll never know until we hit the great beyond.
I did have this experience in Scotland. I was traveling on vacation with a friend from home, and we stayed in a bed and breakfast. The woman who owned the place had a picture of her grandfather hanging in the hallway. It was just like I knew that man. Of course, I had never seen him before in my life nor been to that town. I am not even Scottish heritage. It was a strange feeling for sure. I could barely sleep that night.

I think all of us have experience the same. I really do not know the any rational explanation for these. But it is obvious that one way or the other have been in similar situation. We feel like we been there before, like it has happened the way it happened that we think its a replay. To some extent, people say that its probably because we have reincarnated and have been there in our past life. But I really do not know if it is such. But if you ask me if it is normal, then I would say that it is normal, considering that we all experience the same.

Yes! It's happened to me so many times!! For me, it was more than just the places I visited; it was also the conversations that I was having that I felt like I had before. It's called Deja Vu. I think it's considered normal because I know that most people have had this experience at least once in their lives. I don't know why it happens but it's common. There may be a chance that you really might have visited a certain place but you forgot completely and so you might think it was just deja vu.

This is very normal. I also had the same experience several times. once I read about this matter in a book. Every actions are planed and written in the book of universe. Sometimes our subconsious mind travel to the future and learn what is going to happen. That's why we are having the feeling.

hi Grat15, well i guess it's normal! But other's say maybe your soul was re-incarnated? They said that the spirit in your body could be in that place or in that situation and have met those people.Just like what i have seen in some movies I watched.It's kinda weird,right? But dont' worry sometimes i experiences same situation like yours.
