Can you explain de ja vous?

Question

What is going on when that happens? Why does it happen? Could it be from a past life or what?

ok so I cannot spell in French.
I have had an experience where I was in the middle of feeling this and I knew what was about to be said by other people-and then they said it. It was very weird. Also I have dreamed about exact events before they have happened.

Answer 1

It is a red flag so-to-speak. It could either be remembering something from a past life or remembering something you went over during your review before coming back to this life. It's something you need to pay attention to or it's a turning point.

Answer 2

Umm past lives are tricky. Hence why we have so many Cleopatra's running around. I don't think de ja vou is from past lives because we are thinking it feels like it happened in this life. But some times when we feel a calling to a place, a connection with a place, that can be a past life. I have no idea about deja vou. It happens all the time to me and it drives me crazy. LOL
Hard, seriously? Hm interesting. Can you state a source? That would be a cool read.

Answer 3

Déjà vu. It is spelled déjà vu.

déjà vu has been subjected to serious psychological and neurophysiological research. The most likely explanation of déjà vu is that it is not an act of "precognition" or "prophecy", but rather an anomaly of memory; it is the impression that an experience is "being recalled". This explanation is substantiated by the fact that the sense of "recollection" at the time is strong in most cases, but that the 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 circumstance(s) they were "remembering" when they had the déjà vu experience. 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).

Another theory being explored is that of vision. As the theory suggests, one eye may record what is seen fractionally faster than the other, creating that "strong recollection" sensation upon the "same" scene being viewed milliseconds later by the opposite eye.

Answer 4

In the late 19th and early 20th Centuries, it was widely believed that déjà vu could be caused by the mis-timing of neuronal firing. This timing error was thought to lead the brain to believe that it was encountering a stimulus for the second time, when in fact, it was simply re-experiencing the same event from a slightly delayed source. A number of variations of these theories exist, with miscommunication of the two cerebral hemispheres and abnormally fast neuronal firing also given as explanations for the sensation. Perhaps the most widely acknowledged neuronal theory is the optical pathway delay theory which explains déjà vu as being the product of a delayed optical input from one eye. Closely following the input from the first eye (when it should be simultaneous), this misleads conscious awareness and suggests a sensation of familiarity when there should not be one. Although intuitively plausible, this theory is untestable due to the minute times involved in neuronal firing, and inconsistent with reports that blind individuals experience déjà vu in the same way as sighted individuals (O'Connor & Moulin, 2006).

Answer 5

I suspect that you are referring to "deja vu," which means, basically, "already seen." This generally happens when there is a lag between the perception of a place or event and the consciousness of the perception. One gets the impression that one has already seen what one is seeing.

It is a neurological phenomenon, not a mystical one.

Answer 6

Cathars believe that a person come to this earth more than one time. For first time it comes seduced by devil, and enjoys earthly pleasures. The soul do not remember that it is from heaven. When a person dies, the soul wants to come back to the earth and enjoy more. And again until it begins to realize, that it has come to this world to learn Divine Love and begins to look for this Love. That's why deja vu exists.

Answer 7

Your seeing things your about to do. Somebody in the future has created a ripple in time and you are feeling it. No. it is from the here and now. Your sensitive enough to be able to look a few seconds into the future. Too bad it wouldn't happen when your about to buy a lotto ticket.

Answer 8

Very well explained in Catch 22. All the other "vu's" are in there too. Something about your brain taking an instant snapshot of the scene and transferring it straight to your subconscious, so you think it is a memory, but it isn't.

Answer 9

I get what you are saying about the eyes and the snapshot but there are times i have seen and heard and felt something before. It would have to be my ears, eyes and the part of the brain that controls emotion all taking a snapshot at the same time and then perceiving it all at the same time.

Answer 10

Deja vu means 'already seen' in French.
But I don't know about all that 'past life' stuff.
