Deja Vu

Yeah, I get it a lot. This one time I could've sworn the same black cat crossed a door way twice in a row. Weird.


Woah...
 
I seem to get some form of deja vu at least twice a week.

There was a point where I convinced myself that I was dreaming the future and only remembering via the feeling of deja vu when it was actually happening. I also convinced myself that I was able to maintain this feeling of deja vu for longer periods of time which indicated that I was dreaming longer sections of the future, and by focusing on remembering all my dreams I might be able to recognise the onset of a dreamt future moment before it happened, thus possibly being able to change that moment and change the future from what it had been.

I still partially believe this to be true.

I usually get it, not as much as I use to though.
People say there's a basic answer to why it happens, I'd like to believe it, but it's strange when you know what someone is going to say before they say it when you get it.

It happens due to coincidence.

Throughout the day you will think of hundreds/thousands of different thoughts, so one of them is bound to happen eventually. When it does, you remember the thought you had about it happening.

However, if you have a thought and then it doesn't happen, you just forget about it.

This is not how i have found it to be, this may suffice for you as an explanation but does not even begin to account for the experiences i have had.

Well, that's just one explanation as to why some people experience deja vu, or get the feeling of predicting the future.

There are many more explanations that I don't even know of, or even understand.
 
Isn't it to do with a memory glitch?
Like, a short term memory (what is happening at the moment) gets recorded and treated as a long term memory, so it feels like you already experienced it (or dreamed).

I did a little test with myself once, whenever I experienced deja vu, I tried to remember what was going to happen next. Never worked.

An interesting theory that I have heard of that before somewhere, but I've not really looked into it any further so I can't really expand on that. :p

Don't entirely think its that simple. But of course the "statistics" back you up. :)

Used to get deja vu more when i was younger - not so much now because im jaded, perhaps have a more entrenched mind and unfortunately less aware than i was (consciousness-aware).
