Deja Vu?

Let's start a new discussion, I want to know what you think Deja Vu are...?

Let's hear your opinions!

Btw:The movie was really awesome...

And some scientists say that deja vu is mostly something that when you live the same thing that one of your relative lived,it can be even your ancients...not because you reecarnated

"Maybe I should start smoking crack so I could relate to the rest of the world"

In the immortal words of Whitney Houston "Crack is Whack!"

Deja vu isn't your mind playing tricks on you, it's just a little accident now and then, or something REALLY similar happening. Like your brain having a dream, it's making a little error. Even if you've never experienced it, you think you have, that's basically all deja vu is to me. I liked the film too, I watched it today.

But, there are experiances of Deja Vu that i've had where I recalled - before it's even said - the exact words the person was about to say. During those experiances the environment around me also seemed to be exactly the same, for some reason. That can't be an accident...

Happens to me all the time, probably because I'm special. I wouldn't be as absent-minded to say deja vu is anything magical or spiritual...I'm not a superstitious person. I think deja vu is just a fun coincidence in life that can freshen up your point of view on "how small the world is."

K bye.

This is what i think!

before each of us gets born whatever
we get to choose certain parts of our life, like where were goign to be, what were goign to do
and when you get deja vu, then it would be soemthign that you chose to happen in your life

if that makes sence

Well its just what i think okay.

gezz dont need to get all pooey about it

there are lots of unanswered questions in life. lets see you trying to get a bloody answer for each and every single one of them you idiot

Unanswered questions are unanswered for a reason...silly humans...so curious.

While watching Deja Vu in theatres, I wanted desperately to say to my friend, "Wait a second...I think I've seen this movie before with you. Holy crap!"

But I didn't.

If you think about it, given the similarity of most situations we are presented with throughout our daily lives, getting on a bus, talking to someone in a park, kissing, saying certain lines of speech etc etc it's not surprising that we occasionally feel we have been there before.

Change are we have, almost exactly in the same way, no matter what we are doing. I know that I have set ways of doing things that don't change much...you know the way I unlock and lock my bike, shower myself, brouse through CD's in a shop...we're all creatures of habit.

Deja Vu therefor, to me at least is only a subtle partially subconscious recognition of similarity, and not anything spiritual or unusual.

Well now Kevin, that's having a set way of doing things, like you said, not Deja Vu. Also, something happening that reminds you of something else that happened, is not Deja Vu. Deja Vu is...Feeling as if one has lived through or experienced an exact moment before, which has not taken place.

But of course that's just you losing your mind. Unless you like giving meaning to things. Which I don't.

No Jane, Deja Vu is nothing more than the brain recognising again sets of visuals that have been experienced before, so subtley you don't even remember them from previous time...

And it is only a visual thing, for most people. Think of all the visual information we take in that we do not consciously remember? thousands of films, pictures plus everything we see in real time just moving around. It's no wonder we feel we've experienced things before....WE HAVE!

I mentioned the ways of doing things to illustrate how similar the day to day things in our lives are, mostly...whenever I get the Deja Va feeling I'm usually speaking to so

No Kevin, Deja Vu is what I say it is.

Get your facts straight.

Ah so Jane. Check out your buddy Liz's description, and then read what I wrote and watch them match up.

It's an illusion of the brain....rather like your facts....eh...ooh..fighting talk from the scotty boy..

Two descriptions matching up do not make fact. What is truth or fact other than perception? Yeah, uh uh, that's right.

Now shush with that nonsense.

Read my description again and you will see that it matches up with the first time you read it...ehhh...oohhh...fighting talk from an American Girl.

I'm getting Deja Vu right now, cause you are talking horse crap and I'm sure I've been here before.

Or was that in a previous life?

Ugh.

I lost track of the point I was trying to make a while ago...Horse crap it is.

Abs, I liked your response more before you edited. I was feeling hot like sauce with my name present.

Ha, way to call me out. I was just disagreeing for the sake of disagreement. Stirring things up, you know? Course you do.

I really don't have an opinion on Deja Vu. It's a load of ship.

I wouldn't give up one of my flying ships for Deja Vu or any other useless tidbit of superstitious ridiculousness that doesn't need defining because it doesn't matter.

You're right.

I'll be brief.

Deja vu is what happens when they change something. It makes walls disappear and people die. Cats seem to be our only way of determining whether deja vu has occured. Black cats especially. Deja Vu was invented by the Egyptians[for cat reasons] so that they could enslave us and force us to work for our supper. Unfortunately for them, artificial intelligence was smarter, and tricked them into handing over their deja vu top secret files in return for perfectly sculpted pyramids. Basically, they enslaved the whole of humanity for a couple pretty tombs. So now we must rebel. Find a phone, and go down that rabbit hole[if you can fit]. Kill deja vu!
... Um, what was the question?

Sooper - you really are cool. I think Im going to adopt you and change my name to the new Mrs Brad Pitt. What would you say? But Im not carrying you everywhere tho. You can walk.

"There is a difference between witnessing something two-dimensionally on a movie screen and living within the moment itself"

I totally agree with Abs on this one. Kevin, Im sorry but I shower at least once a month and every time I get into that shower I dont thing "WOW - Deja Vu! I've BEEN here before... woooaah" (Well not unless I've been smoking something that I shouldn't have.

BUT - I agree that its not something that happens when you just "see" something that reminds you of something you've done before or seen before - its a collective experience - the sight, smell, touch, feelings, thoughts, words etc. I've had it before (some times more severe than others to the point where I know things I shouldn't know - like what Donald was saying) and other times just a flinching wierd feeling that somethings happened in a split second that didn't give me enough time to catch it but it was still there - something telling me that I've recognised something I no longer remember or recall.

Its different to precognition tho - its not the telling of the future but its the linking up of the past... in a way

Just because Abby cuts up mice in the name of science don't mean she knows anything more than anyone about theorectical brain states....despite her reasoned post...I'm just going to say stuff I think, because it's easier...

Deja Vu is nowt more than remembering something you don't actually really remember properly, but you still swear you've seen or heard or felt it before.

It's acute familiarity caused by the amazing capacity your brain has to forming patterns and linking old memories with new ones in order to help you cope with strange environments...

Why you all gotta jazz stuff up...

Damn the fairies. The fairies and their little cotton picking fingers stealing my teef.

I think, generally, my brain enters most places well and truly after me...

I generally get a deja-vu feeling a few times a week, and not at any significant moments. The day before yesterday, I opened up Mr. Coffee, and suddenly actions - and more interestingly, thoughts - felt very familiar. I said "Whoa, Deja-vu!" And then I felt it again, from saying those words. (As I knew I would?) It's like feeling little tiny chinks of the the universe shift into place, and you see where they're going to fall a split second before they do. Or perhaps precisely as they do. Or something. It's kind of the feeling you get when you finally see how a mathematical or philosophical problem gets solved.

Anyway, I get the feeling a lot, and it's not ever very exciting, but I do wonder what my little brain is up to. Oh, World! Oh, Mind!

"There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophies."

I think Deja Vu involves horses. And semen. But that's just me.

My younger brother was epileptic, but has grown out of it as he has grown out of childhood...he never mentioned experiencing deja vu, but interesting insights Lithera.

Very interesting Liz... there are so many questions in this world I want to know NOW! I cant wait til I get to ask God or til I evolve in billions of years into a superhuman (well - MORE of a superhuman than I am now).

Very frustrating.
