Have you ever experienced deja vous? What causes it?

Answer 1

Deja vu occurs when something you experience is stored into your long term memory in error, instead of in short term memory. When it goes into the long term memory, you perceive it as a memory from long ago, so it seems that you have had this same experience before. It's a trick of memory, sort of a glitch.

Answer 2

Hey Bon...

Dejavu as u kno is an experience of feeling that one has witnessed or experienced a new situation previously. I keep experiencing Dejavu very often.
Sometimes while with my friends...I often feel we'd drunk enuf alredy to order more of expresso....
so many such wonderful times thant pose as puzzles.......

The most likely candidate for explanation is that déjà vu is actually an anomaly of memory; it is the impression that an experience is "being recalled" which is false.This is substantiated to an extent by the fact that in most cases the sense of "recollection" at the time is strong, but any circumstances of the "previous" experience (when, where and how the earlier experience occurred) are quite uncertain. Likewise, as time passes, subjects can exhibit a strong recollection of having the "unsettling" experience of déjà vu itself, but little to no recollection of the specifics of the event(s) or circumstances they were "remembering" when they had the déjà vu experience, and in particular, this may result from an overlap between the neurological systems responsible for short-term memory (events which are perceived as being in the present) and those responsible for long-term memory (events which are perceived as being in the past). However there is much anecdotal evidence that déjà vu is at least sometimes associated with genuine precognition, which the memory anomaly theory does not account for.

Answer 3

I've experienced deja vu many times in my life. In fact, I recall clearly the very first time it happened to me. I was 15 years old and on vacation with my family in a rustic mountain retreat that we spent many vacations at. One afternoon, I sat on a wooden step outside a grocery store that we went to once a week for our groceries. And then and there, I had the strongest sensation of having sat there before, that is, as it was occurring I felt that it (that precise moment) had already happened. Later I read that we've already dreamed of the moment when deja vu occurs, so that's why it feels so familiar.

Answer 4

Yes many times for some years, scientifically it's some sort of chemical imbalance the happens in the brain at a random time like a glitch on a computer screen.
It's like visions, I often try to believe they are visions but I also try to change them but I can't, everything is the same as when I dreamed. It could mean that history is written in stone and that we can't change our destinies or something but that is a whole different subject.
I think that hormones or a certain chemical imbalance in the system causes the mind to have these sensations.

Answer 5

probably from the fact that the first time you experienced a particular scene you did not witness in all full detail, your eyes were distracted and it bothered you. So the next time you see a full scene and compare to the partial scene witnessed before, you have a deja-vous because you think it to be simmilar to your last experience and it seems so close because remember you hardly remember the last incident.

Answer 6

I have! But I have the strangest dreams, and they're so vivid and clear. And when I wake up the next day, something I'd dreamed happens to me during the day. It's so weird. It's like I dream up conversations and the ones I actually have are eerily similar. It's completely Deja Vu!

Answer 7

I read something not long ago about Deja Vu not long ago and how it may be linked to genetics. . .a sort of ancestral memory.
It was an interesting concept.
There are certain things I'm very drawn to and the more geneology I've done the more it makes sense.

Answer 8

It's actually "Deja Vu" and yes, I have.

I personally believe that the cause is a merging of memory, imagination, and a smattering of psychic imprinting.

I'm sure you have experienced it too.

Answer 9

Yes and have you ever seen the Matrix? That is what causes it a computer glitch in our eye sight. Happy New Year
I really think it is programmed but somehow something gets haywire and we get a glimpse of either the past or the future.

Answer 10

not to be fussy, but it's deja vu...

what causes it... no idea...but i can venture to say that when it occures --sometimes we know people and situations so well that when we dream of something and we have a deja vu moment--it's just a way of the 'mind- spirit' showing us that we are more aware of what is going on in relationships. friendships, etc...
