deja vu

[blackeyed]

why do people get frequent deja vus?

[clydeserani]

In my humble opinion, De Ja Vu is like psychic ability, as you know, not everyone has full psychic ability, I believe that de ja vu is a little piece of psychic ability that gets opened up every now and again..

Again, in my opinion, I beleive that everyone is born with the capabiltiy to have psychic experiences, however it does not develop in everyone for any number of reasons, either it just doesn't or life experience and/or personal beliefs can dull and mask the sense.

I don't know.. I often have de ja vu and dreams of events that go on to happen, however i would not class myself as being fully blown psychic...

As I said, these are just my opinions. It's certainly how I explain it to myself when it happens...

It will be interesting to watch this thread and see what other people think too.

I've experienced deja vu a few times but didn't really think anything of it. I probably thought I was turning a bit mental at the time. But clydeserani, if you think it's a psychic ability, don't you think brain doctors (yes, that is the technical term) could unleash this ability in people who experience deja vu with the technology we have these days?

Maybe they already do johnny. Who knows whats going on behind closed doors in medical labs etc...

I knew you'd type that...

Although I do believe in the so called ESP type experiences, which I think emanate fom the largely untapped deeper levels of our consciousness, I think Deja vu has more to do with some type of "memory slip" where the brain somehow forgets that it has experienced an event then gets it out of sequence. This may only be fractions of a second, but gives the impression of having been there before.

blackeyed, didn't you ask this same question last week?

[squarebear]

I think that's the whole point of this "joke" thread. No doubt next week, the same question will be asked again.

some people believe it is due to one half of the brain processing the scenario before the other half. the split second later when the slower half processes the event your brain knows its seen it before, even though that half of the brain is certain it hasnt
