What EXACTLY is deja vu?

[Shadow King]

Every time I have it it's never ever vague, it's always vivid/recognizable on some THIS shyt HAPPENED ALREADY

If it's a similar experience that happened in another life, it should be vague, right?

I assume that I dream things before they happen but is that possible?

It's a tittybar, where they also show p and serve no drinks.

when i was a kid i had a dream that i was going through an intersection in a wooded area.
a few weeks later my family took a trip and as i was looking out the window i saw the same exact intersection from my dream.

same forward motion, same point of view, same little house on the corner...it was strange.

I feel the same way. I have deja-vu almost all the time. Sometimes i've also had dreams that have happened in real life. Sometimes i wonder if we have done this before. This shyt is deep. Thats why i am sure of a creator.

I get DejaVu often, but the trippy part in one scenario was I said the same exact thing the other person said at the same time. We we're both .

Some times that shyt is SO vivid you feel you just lived the same thing twice

BUT I read a theory that basically goes like this: we have two types memories, short and long term. What happens is when we see a particular situation walking down the street, it should go in th short-term memory, the one that is "erased" if the info isn't worth keeping. The thing is, it seems that sometimes our brain fukks up, and instead of putting that particuler scene in the short-term memory bank, it puts it in the long-term memory bank making us think "shyt, I KNOW I've seen this before" That may explain why most "déja vus" are really memories that aren't important, which are typically short-term memories that get erased. BUt for some reason, sometimes they end up in the long-term memory bank.

Now mind you this is only a theory first thing I thought when I read it was like "Yeah right I KNOW FOR A FACT I saw that scene before" so take it as you wish...

This is why nikkas need to log their dreams as soon as they wake up. So if they think they dreamt an experience before, they can refer to their log to see if they crazy or not.

Hmm, maybe we should start a dream log thread here...

no one knows but I love it everytime I experience it.

Another strange thing, people who have Epileptic seizures experience an intense feeling of Deja Vu before they have a seizure.

As an above poster stated, i think it has to do with imprinting memories just like dreams do, which would also explain why we think we've dreamed of something that happens.
