"Funny I thought you'd done this thread before Steve 
You know what? I thought I had! But I checked and I hadn't. 
It's an interesting and relatively rare phenomena. "
I wonder if you called it something else.
Anyway my understanding is that it is caused by our brains doing a memory integrity check. A kind of conflict resolution goes on as the memory gets filed to try to ensure that the memory isn't distorted. If it finds a distortion it resolves it giving us the feeling of having the memory twice. |

Mine wasn't a memory as I'd never been there before but I knew what was there before we saw it - a building and a little river, and I recall the absolute sense of having been there before. Which was impossible. |

I sometimes think I can see the future, then things happen and I get the deja vu feeling, but really I'm remembering what I saw and I'm like that's mad. idk |

"I've felt when I visit somewhere new that I've been there before."
Same..like I'm supposed to live this way over and over again. A bit like a specific scene of a film you have seen time after time. You know each word/mannerisms, everything of the scene!!
A weird but wonderful feeling and I take it as "I'm on the right course". Only time will tell if the course (life) is a pleasurable one!!  |

"Interesting. ...have you experienced this before? "
yeah several times but the one I mentioned was when I was 14 and on a school trip to Germany. It was an unscheduled stop so I couldn't have know we would've there and it hadn't been talked about and I'd never been there before.
A visit from the Spookysaurus, I think. |

Hmmmmm.....I've never done any past life regression and not wholly convinced that such a thing exists, being Mr Cynical Hipsters. |

So you're from the Midlands, but you had a "vision" of a tram crashing in Croydon before it happened? Specifically Croydon and specifically a tram? |

People from the Midlands are not allowed to have visions?  |

i didnt have any vision it wasnt until i saw it on a thread that i thought it had happened a couple of days previous but it was that morning. Id seen no news, id not been out the house so there was no way i could of logically known about it but my first reaction when i saw the thread oh i thought this was in the news a couple of days ago |

when one gets a dream of the future that swiftly comes to pass such as been mentioned in this thread, it has been given you to knee jerk you into giving heed to your dreams as this is the method that is being used to seek to instruct, comfort, rebuke , enlighten, warn you on your journey thru this life |

The scientific explanation to it is that on occasions the brain misfires, and rather than all your senses processing directly into the part of the brain that deals with the current timeline, it accidently sends it to the historic memory
So what you are sensing feels like it is a memory of that experience rather than a current experience.
As an explanation, it makes sense and I like it, despite completing believing in the paranormal. |

Haven't experienced it for a while but it can be weird.
On a related note I've moved around a fair bit but have found I can often recognise the same 'types' of people ie. people I've met before in different places (except they're not the same people) - if that makes any sense at all   |

Some people look very similar. Doppelgänger types. (German again!) |

Yes - although sometimes it's other stuff like how they behave. But more likely it's how my mind categorises people. |

Yeah, when I saw a "length or girth" thread this morning. It seemed awfully familiar. |

I experience Deja Vu maybe once a year or so. Usually its because I see something in real life that I saw in the dream before. It does make me stop dead and say WTF every time |

It is exactly that; the "time clock" or "time register" in your brain goes temporarily out of sync; and it registers current events as if they are memories.
You think you are remembering something when in fact you are experiencing it for the first time. |

Except I knew that there was a house and river with no prior knowledge and I couldn't see them from where I was. |

This is true. I was 15. Stood in the dinner que at school. In a corridor with windows over looking the play yard. I had a strong case of deja vue. Only this time it kept getting stronger. I seen what was going to happen next. I told my best friend who was stood next to me. I said that another of our friends will walk up to the window and offer a sweet through it. And sure enough exactly as I saw it he walk around the corner held a bag of sweets up but the only difference was it was a different colour sweet.
My mate was shocked. Its never happened since. |

But you were "remembering " something at the time it was happening. Would you have been able, before actually physically seeing that house and river, to describe it exactly, or draw it? I suspect not.
It's similar to dreaming; where your mind believes it's real, until you wake and realise it was a dream. |

Does it effect short term or long term memories but that I mean do you forget straight away or after a short period of time .
Hope the question doesn't offend just interested . |

The year the Grand National was a farce with restarts galore, horses everywhere, absolute disaster.
I'd dreamt it a few months previous exactly as I saw it on the TV, not like I was there.. Freaked me out, then I began to form my own belief on timelines etc.

im happy to answer anything on it but its quite hard to understand. But if this makes sense there is no memory to forget as the memory isnt made. I cant actually make a memory to forget
So i could quite happily go and make a cup of coffee as that is using old memories but i wouldnt know id made the cup of coffee
As that would of been making a new memory
