What is de ja vu?? It hasn't happened to me in a while. It usually happens at least once a month. I'm just curious as to what it's all about.

Hi dolphin,

Namaste :)

Thanks for asking this question as I would be really interested to know the answer too. It happened to me just the other day, it was so vivid and I have no idea how to explain it :)

dolphin,

Hi,

One might say that not having deja vu for a while, and more than just once, is sort of a deja vu (all over again).

:)

Cheers,

Okay I've read this 3 times and each time I've tied myself up in knots trying to decode it :))

Are you referring to a time of recollection of something that happened in the post? If so, there are things that give me that quick jog of memeory. It could be the shape of a limb in the trees in this forest here, the way the sun looks at a certain position above the tree tops, a phrase of music, the way someone walks, etc.

Hi,

Often, to simply say no is just another way of saying I don't know (all over again). Deja vu, perhaps?

LOL

No can mean yes as well. (the way the french say it) Depends non the context of it being said.

Once, I said in passing to a colleague, about something being deja vu, he, being the innoncent, didn't know what I was talking about, and thought I was coming on to him.

LOL.

"Okay I've read this 3 times and each time I've tied myself up in knots trying to decode it"

R.C. does that to me, too, Helen.

I've read theories, but I don't think anyone has come up with a real answer of what it is.

For me: this is an example.... The other day I was sitting in my computer chair having a conversation with hubby and all of a sudden I get this strange feeling like something is going to happen. And then it happens, he started to say something and as soon as he started, it's as if I have been there and I heard it before - what he said to me.
Everything is familiar --- me sitting there, him saying what he was saying - everything.
OR another example... I will be someplace and all of a sudden I know what is going to happen next. Same people doing something. It also seems like I'm "remembering" what is going to happen or what is going to be said longer now. Before it was a small snipit. Now, it's longer and longer. THis has be baffled! How could I have known the place, and what is being said when it hasn't happened yet??

Hi,

If you were saying it in French as more of a 'question' then next time perhaps you will put a French accent on it. LOL Of course, if yu might have been thru this before? Wellllll... deja vu all over again? LOL

And, no! means no!. Ask anyone upon whom unwanted advances are made. It is only aggressors who assert that no! really means yes!

Cheers (don't say maybe when one really means no! or yes!),

Some games are not fun or funny.

In my opinion, these experiences are jogs of meeory of having lived before in simlar situations. or simply having similar feelings to other times in another lifetime. We have many, you know. some people also have precpgnition, knowing something is going to happen before it happens. I do this smetimes. It is natural for air people.

It seems that most of these experiences are too brief or incomplete to be of any use other than being an interesting curiosity.

Mine are typically rare and and not filled with much usable data or intuition. I usually scan one briefly looking for any points that really stick out and then let it go. Kindof like find something really cool in the woods; you marvel at it for a while, study it, perhaps thank it and then move on.

Namaste,

"For me" this is an example..."

Almost sounds more like psychic experiences, dolphin....the knowing ahead of time or incident....rather than having "done it before".

Namaste :)

It's a wierd feeling, a bit like watching a film for the first time but seeing a particular scene and knowing what happens next. It might be quite handy if we could only fathom it out and apply it to real life :))

When I was a kid, I had de ja vu all the time and it was always experiencing something that I had dreamed before. Back then I usually remembered having the dream. I had never talked to anyone about it and just assumed it was something well known until I took psychology and the text book didn't say anything at all about de ja vu being something you had dreamed before. I was actually quite suprised as it was something that I had taken for granted for a long time.

I only rarely experience that de ja vu feeling these days and when I do, its not very strong and I no longer remember a specific dream, but in my experience, de ja vu is experiencing something that you had previously dreamed while asleep.

Thanks for the input, and as per usual food for thought. I appreciate tact.

Games are not fun if one of both in the party does not want to play.

Thanks Mike!

I was trying to figure out how to say the same thing. I will dream something (nothing earth shaking) and within a month or 2 I would be in the middle of a scene I had already seen.

It is a very odd feeling to know the words to be spoken and the smells and noises. It doesn't happen often if I am very busy...which is all the time now. I do miss it though because it is something special for me. Does that make sense?
