Deja Vu

Lotesse · 08-04-2005, 01:13 PM

Have any of you guys ever experienced deja vu? I mean, REAL deja vu, the definite and indeniable sensation of having lived a moment already, which all logic tells you cannot have previously happened? Maybe that's a bit wordy of a definition, but you know what I mean. I'd love to know other people's stories about this; it's a phenomenon that I find particularly fascinating.

There. A better detailed description of 'deja vu'.

I can recall 3 or 4 times of extremely specific deja vu and in each case the place, people (what they were wearing), what we were doing, and what we all said seemed to have happened before.

Kind of freaks me out sometimes.

Where they situations that you could SWEAR there was no way you could have been there before? That's what makes deja vu such a trip, the truly unexplainable.

Oh, yes. I have had the occasional, "whoa...did this happen before?" kind of deja vu and then the rare ones like I said before, where I was so freaked out by it that I didn't say anything to anyone.

Sometimes it even feels like you are predicting what's going to happen as it's happening. It might be my mind playing tricks on me, but it's still freaky.
