Introverted Intuitive & Deja Vu

[curious1]

Do you experience deja vu all of the time?

[Kimmy67]

As a child always, but now I am older no.... maybe I have tuned out or maybe I have been all the places again that I had been before !

[axiomtangent]

I swear I've answered this question before.... (thought I'd get the bad joke out of the way so as to save any of you from the embarrassment) ;)

[Solaris]

Not all the time, but fairly often. Hard to say if it's more than the average person though, because I've never seen statistics on that. Usually when I do, it's very strong though.

[stasis]

Almost never.

Exactly the same for me.

...and I was there when you did!! Weird :stunned:

PS - Never :(

[Aesthesis]

I use to, not so much anymore.

[Firelie]

When I was younger I did, but now almost never.

[xhaan]

Hmm, not all the time, but when I do it is major... and happens enough to be annoying, and it usually comes with some sort of bad portent, or impending doom... but I think that may be more to do with PTSD than normal deja vu...

[jjelovich]

I get it often, but the events are usually nothing of significance.

[Antares]

Yes. Quite a lot too. I remember walking through my cousin's apartment for the first time in Canada. I've never been there before, but it certainly didn't feel like it when I walked past the dinner table. It's almost as though I've been there before. There are many occurances where I swore I've never experienced before, but it seemed like I had. I remember meeting someone for the first time. I thought I knew him and had a good sense of what he's like as a person. I was right. My feelings of deja vu never turned out to be anything major, but I like it at the same time :D

I once read that deja vu was caused by the optic nerve sending visuals to your memory faster than what ever part it goes to in order to see the reality of it.

I think I've had that in the past but its very rare, mainly when younger. The times that it bothers me (lately) is when I remember a dream and then sometime in the future I see it again. This is also very rare but gives the same feeling. Perhaps its my unconcious sorting things out and guessing a conclusion that is sometimes correct? who knows but seeing either "all the time" would suck.

[Wapiti]

Kind of. I think it has to do with my mind always thinking of all the possibilties that could play out and I am actually just "deja vu"ing those thoughts I had - usually about insignificant stuff and conversations I've had in my head with people that didn't really happen in real life - but when they actually happen in real life - well then deja vu. Does that make any sense.

[errrzarrr]

When younger I had a few. Now, none.

Deja Vu?

Deja Vu?

[Julian]

All the time, and it still creeps me out.

[Paul V]

Yes, constantly, all the time. I hate it, because it makes me feel I should remember what is so familiar to me.

[Doppelbock]

dammit you stole my joke!

Hey waitaminute, seems like this has happened before...

Does that make any sense.

That makes sense, I am always playing out future situations from multiple possibilities, so when it finally happens it's natural to feel like I've been there before.

[jdc127]

I get the classic deja vu felling, but I also have specifically remembered dreams I had years before something actually happened... So the deja vu feeling was not just a feeling of familiarity, but also a specific remembrance to a specific dream down to the smallest details, not some general feeling of remembrance.... This happened more once in a while as a child and almost never now...

Also, what about synchronicity? When I was moving from Oregon to Illinois the space of about a month had unusually high amounts of familiarity and everything I did lined up perfectly with other events. They events were seemingly inconsequential and would have been mere happenstance if not for the frequencey and singular nature of those experiences made them quite startling...

It all just brought home to me the fact that everything we do, no matter how inconsequenial we judge it to be, is utmost importance to the future. Just wtingin and reading these sentences can dramatically change our futures, individually and collectively.

Food for thought, eh?

okay, that "bad joke" was great for a chuckle. Thanks. I experience deja vu intermittently, maybe once every quarter or so. I have read that it means you are on the right path in life.

[DeadSpace]

deja vu occurs less now then when i was younger...but more intense. Has precursors now, i know in an approximate time frame when it will occur O.o
whyme1234's is part of it for me, i play out scenerios constantly...background thinking. Though it sometimes occurs in ways i could not of thought of in any scenerio, with people, places, things never seen or met.

[richirare]

Not all the time, but when it comes, it's like fucking Back To The Future.
