How can you explain "DEjAVU"???

Question

whats the theory behind it and can we ever prove it??

Answer 1

I heard a theory that we have a learning part of our brain and a memory part. Usually when we see a new thing we "learn" it and then store it in our memory. This happens in a fraction of a second.

Deja Vu occurrs when the impulses get confused and our conscious mind recognises the memory part before the learning part. Result: We are certain we've seen it before.

Can't say that it's true, but it makes sense...

Answer 2

To answer the second question first, probably not.  Deja vu is an experience, and to prove that an experience has been experienced would require sophisticated brain probes that are probably beyond our technology.  Then there is the question of what is real -- how can a psychotic tell the difference between psychotic symptoms and objective reality?

Deja vu, in the sense of a feeling of already having seen something, is a psychological phenomenon, and I have no interest in discussing it.

On the other hand, once I was half asleep in my living room during a sweltering summer day.  My younger brother came in with a goofy look on his face (goofier than usual, I mean).  He made some stupid joke, and then I didn't see him any more.  I thought he must have gone away while I dozed.

My younger brother came in with a goofy look on his face (goofier than usual, I mean).  He made some stupid joke, and while he told it I was examining every word he said, knowing beforehand what word it would be.  I wondered what would happen if I interrupted and told him the rest of the joke -- but if I hadn't been that lethargic, maybe I wouldn't have had that vision or revelation or whatever it was -- or at least the vision would have been different to accommodate my chosen actions.

When he was done, I said, "I knew you were going to say that," and he looked a little crestfallen, as though he had hoped to be praised for creativity.  Can I prove it happened?  Of course not.

So what happened, and why did it happen?

First of all, I need you to understand that I am not a psychic nor a believer in psychic phenomena.  I am at a loss to explain what happened except for this: Each of us really is a son or a daughter of God (or why else would we call him Father?).  At times, our spiritual gifts or divine nature come close to the surface and we experience things out of the ordinary.  Unfortunately, we will not all have the same experiences, if only because we have different allotments of spiritual gifts.  I do not believe it is for us to be able to develop and use these gifts at will during this lifetime, nor to exercise them at all in opposition to divine will. Assuming that this approach is correct, then I had the experience only because of a rare combination of circumstances, or because God wanted to teach me something.

At other times before then, I had experienced something similar (rarely), such as knowing what I would see around a corner that I had never turned before (being on a trip in another state), but never so vividly as in this example, and I am not sure that it has happened to me in the twenty five or so years since then.

Answer 3

Well, the cold, hard fact is that most psychologist believe that your brain gets a little "out of sync" and this disorientation is perceived as being an event that you have encountered before.

Answer 4

Dejavu is a word people say when they already knows the happening which is going to happen in future...

Answer 5

I've heard a theory that its just a tiny, momentary short in your brain.  Another theory is that you have has a phrophetic dream about the event so when it happens for real you really are, in a sense, re-living it.

Answer 6

Many neurologists believe that dejavu is basically just a glitch in the brain which happens to be experienced by many people. It is associated with temporal lobe epilepsy, a symptom of which is dejavu itself. The brain triggers the sensation of familiarity without actually having seen or experienced the "already seen" thing.

Answer 7

the answer from psycholog  is that when you experiance de ja vu is because everything you see hear and smell is stored in your brain  even though you dont realize it  and the combination of certain sounds and sights may conjure up that memory even though it wasnt the exact memory

Answer 8

DeJavu is a phenomena where when you're doing or seeing something you have a feeling that it's repeating itself! I have allot of DeJavu's, and I find it a little paranormal, but the scientist claim that DeJavu is some kind of brain disfunction, which I find a little bit drastic!:)

Answer 9

I Belive that it is when you are in a situation or an exact moment of your life and you have seen or done that exact same thing in your dreams in the past and you remember it clearly. i dont think there is anyway to prove it though.

i have heard if it happens it means you are on the right path of life.

Answer 11

The science is in for dejavu and it appears to be a trick of the memory centers.  Dejavu often occurs in a fatigued state.  The feeling that everything you're experiencing has happened before.  But  PreJaVu exists and is seldom explained.  When you know the phone will ring, or you consistently wake up before your clock regardless of when it's set.  Scientist have proven by charting the brain while subjecting subjects to interspersed traumatic images that the mind reacts before the event occurs. Preverberations.

Answer 12

The sensation of Dejavu does not happen before the event, it happens during the event.

You have two memory storage locations in your brain. Short term and long term. Usually short term memory records information to long term memory hours, sometimes days after an event actually happens.

On occasion it writes immediatly to long term memory. When this happens you have the short term memory and you have a long term memory, which you feel is sometime in the past. Thus when your brain compares this with what you are seeing, it gives you the feeling that at some indefinite time in the past you saw what you are seeing now.

There is no actual precognition in Dejavu experiences. Its all a trick of short term and long term memory.

Answer 13

The brain glitch theory is most likely. However Science says time is relative and ever thing is actually all happening simultaneously, so perhaps we are are just peaking into an adjacent time stream

Answer 14

This is a word for the feeling you get that you have been in this place or situation before?  Nothing mystical about it.

Answer 15

Deja vu is French and it means "already seen" or remembering that you have had this experience before.

It has nothing to do with predictions.

All it is, is a sensation that you think you did this before. Nothing more.

Answer 16

Due to being tapped in to the collective consciousness.

Answer 17

you might have seen it in a dream or if you believe in it, it might have happened in ur past life.

Answer 18

Well, see people say it's when your in an exact situation twice but I don't think so, because I think you would remember both times. I get it like 2-3 times a day and when it always happens I know whats going to happen for the next few seconds. It's totally weird, I think it's something unknown with are brain, seeing as are brain is still a very confusing scientific topic. I think it's really cool but sometimes I decide not to go along with what I can see will happen for fun, sometimes I will say something different then what I can see my self saying.

Answer 19

From the book "Book of Witchcraft"by Raymond Buckland...de'ja'-vu,is the feeling that something has happened before-so often attributed to reincarnation(thought by know means is reincarnation the only possible explanation of all cases of de'ja'-vu);the feelings being a brief  flash of memory of something that happened in a previous life.Many of my friends believe we are in the right moment doing the right thing,with all the powers that  be reminding you,you've been here and done this with the same person in another life.I also believe that the people that are,have been and are now, are the same ones that you have been with throughout this journey that we call life,are the same ones who have always been there in all journeys.The skeptics none believers or the ones that have to prove it or have to have it proved,apparently its the ones who don't  have them that are missing out on a great spiritual experience......blessed be

Answer 20

It's a glitch in the Matrix.
