You are still not understanding what im saying..I'm having deja-vu about more things than just dropping a pencil, its not that simple. I am not re-remembering things, which is what you keep getting at. The whole science thing I was picking at because you keep going to clinical explanations. You are still not explaining how.. if something has not happen...how I am remembering it. ie. My first experience was taking a specific test...now if I had never taken that test before..there was no long term memory to pull from correct??


soo...had never taken the test... and while I was taking the test for the first time ever, I had deja vu. I remembered exact questions and me sitting there pencil in hand. Explain that using science. There was no prior memory so it has nothing to do with a memory of something that I had never done before.

 

oh yea.. and science is good for some things, not like I am not allowed to use it for information but explaining the super natural through it sometimes is saying that the supernatural doesn't exist...therefore being more close minded than I am.

 

i don't think any intelligent person would rule out supernatural occurances for no reason. I agree that would be definately close minded, but many times there physical explanations for things that seem very supernatural. But just because humans can't explain something right now in this day and age comprehensively does not mean that it is supernatural, its just that we dont know the answers yet.

But you keep missing my point on the explanation of dejavu. The person experiencing dejavu does not remember something that hasn't happened, but as I was trying to explain, is remembering it at the same time as doing it because the brain is abosorbing the information in two different ways (long term and short term) at the same time!

 

ahh... so basically your saying your getting the info twice at once therefore causing an echo type effect of the memory in your head.

 

Scotchtape's explanation is the one I know as well. I am just glad I wasn't the one trying to explain it!

 

EXACTLY!!!

 

boy is that focked up... I need to lay off the thinking today or I'm gonna have deja sleep at my desk.

 

i used to get it all the time. Much less since i've become more "busy" with life.

Kinda miss it...it's a great feeling

 

Well, say all you want about the medical expertise on what Dejavu is. I have had many dreams before, and when it starts happening, I can pretty much say exactly what's gonna happen before hand. It's only 5-10 secs worth, but it does happen.

 

Scotchtape certainly offers a plausible theory. How do you explain the feeling of seeing something before if you can identify the original experience? Such as in a previous night's dream?

Sometimes I get the feeling I have seen it before from a dream I have had either a month ago or from the night before?
