How many times have you been in that store before?

 

[O.T.I.S.]

It’s just the matrix resetting itself

What I read is that you're not actually seing something that you already saw...it's your brain that fukks up slightly at that moment, and confuses the info about the present for some info about the past. You never actually saw the scene before, but for whatever reason your brain commits an error and interprets as if you did. So you ARE seeing whatever you see for the first time, but your brain acts like it's a memory, yet you know it's not, hence the confusion.

THE COOLEST EXPLANATION SOMEBODY GAVE WAS THAT WHEN YOU DREAM YOUR BRAIN PLAYS OUT MILLIONS OF SCENARIOS BASED ON YOUR EXPERIENCES. THEN SOMETIMES YOU REMEMBER ONE WHEN IT ACTUALLY HAPPENS.

What I wanna know is who are the people in my dreams that I have never seen before in my life, on tv, real life nothing

more likely that you saw the future in a dream or that your interpretation of the moment was glitchey?

And I believe in people seeing the future in dreams cause my ex did that shyt in a scientifically provable way

But the difference is, she had the dream, told me about it, then I found out some info and got a picture from and old friend of mine that she didn't even know. And it matched.

In your case you don't recall having the dream beforehand, just a vague sense of this being familiar. Familiar things are only familiar because of how your brain processes them. People with severe memory loss don't recognize things they are very familiar with, people with de ja vu "recognize" things they've never seen.

To answer the question: this is far from the most mysterious thing ever

Commonly held fallacy like the "use 10% of your brain" myth, it simply doesn't work like that. You generate episodic memories at various points of the brain which are then assembled together to form the whole story. Its a process the end result of which is experience of the moment. For the error theory to hold out it would have to do the exact same process twice which it can't due to the constantly changing inputs therefore it has to be something else.

What I wanna know is who are the people in my dreams that I have never seen before in my life, on tv, real life nothing

This one is very interesting. Even more interesting is that they seem to exhibit their own awareness of your awareness and aren't just filling up space like NPCs in video games who stand around looking busy but with nothing going on beside a basic animation.

Yeah that's crazy

 

[Mr Hate Coffee]

My deja vu theory is that when you die your life resets and you replay it over and over again. But each time you die it’s like someone erasing a chalkboard...

...there will always be traces of what was previously written on the chalkboard. So deja vu is remembering those traces. Because yes, you have been in that situation before but in a different lifetime.
