Strong deja vu?
Re: Strong deja vu?
What rapt0r had was premonition. OoooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooo
Although, more than just recalling before recognizing, can't deja vu be like experiencing something that's eerily similar to something you've experienced before?

Re: Strong deja vu?
I guess you could say that. I've had different renditions of it. Sometimes like what Ozzy said, or I have dreams, and I know they are dreams, then they actually happen. It's wierd as hell.
Like for example, I had a dream I was in my house and we saw a tornado. They tornado went by. A month later that happend. Exact same location and everything. I was like holy sh*t that's scary. Has anyone else noticed that you get a really strange feeling that lasts like a half a second?

Re: Strong deja vu?
Deja Vu is most common when you're tired. I believe it's just a mind trick, momentary perception is stored as a memory anomaly, giving the impression of a recollection. Or something like that. You might think of it having been a dream, because of the passing nature of the memory. Don't really know tho.

I'm better than all of you at making a big deal out of a coincidence.
Fix't. :)
Naw seriously, the fact that you had a dream about this girl, and then you heard from her in a completely different manner than you interacted in the dream = coincidence.
I've had a sense of "dream deja vu" before, where I'll do something and then remember a dream from a long time ago where I did said thing, however I write that off as "I barely remember my dreams as is, my brain's just being stupid and throwing details from what I just did into that vague recollection of a dream."
This works similar to the fact that people's brains can sometimes invent memories that never happened. Example: I have a memory of trying calamari for the first time, and every time I mention it to my parents, they start pointing out that various people I remember being present, weren't present. Or that it didn't happen where I remember it happening.
Yes, that link is from Kotaku. They link to a credible source, and I can verify via experience. Therefore, deal with it.

Was there ever an episode of That '70s Show where Kelso made a bet with Laurie and the loser had to shave off their head hair? It came to me in a dream today, and it's really weird.

It's mainly the fact that she said she "had and urge to text me" that bothers me.

I once had this freak-experience when I went with this kid to his house for the first time, and I had a really strong feeling that I've been there before. It really freaked me out. So I asked around a bit, and turned out that his father was a nephew of my neighbour, and that I once went there with my neighbour to get something. That was when I was about 5 years old. So there was nothing special to it (except that I remembered the locatio where I've only been once, 10 years earlier), but it did really freak me out.
Do you know that feeling that when you're in a conversation and it's a deja vu, and you try to remember what's coming next and you can't, but if someone says the next thing you're having this major "yeah that's it" feeling? Those Deja Vu's are great/freaky too.
oh thx

I hate that feeling. Freaks me out, too. I used to think it was dreams I was half-remembering, but now I put it down to the whole processing/encoding problem vedi described. I find it odd that is usually goes on for a number of seconds, as most accounts I've read from people say it just happens for in an instant, but it looks like I'm not alone after all.
What's worse is when I get that deja vu feeling, and I feel like I remember getting the deja vu so I get into this weird recursive loop for a second or two. Does my head in.

I read that, too. Did you read about the experiment in which they implanted memories of Bugs Bunny at Disneyland into some college students? Makes you really take a step back and look at the fallibility of human memory...

Re: Strong deja vu?
I've been having dreams where I feel they're continuations of dreams I've had weeks ago, but I don't ever remember remembering the dreams before. I think my brain's just planting memories that never happened to f~ck with my mind.
But I also have a lot of deja vu from dreams, too. Dreams from like when I was 7 or so.
Edit: I just read tibi's post. That's probably it.

This happens all the time with me, but only with nightmares. None of mine make any physical sense, but for some reason I'm easily able to remember these dreams. I can remember having them since I was, like, 6.
One is that I'm sitting in a movie theater type thing, but I actually think that I'm someone on the screen, gathering berries, then my name flashes on the screen in this golden font in a blue vortex, and then counts down from 5, and I get really terrified. I always wake up at the end of the countdown.
The other one that I've had is I'm standing on a colorful platform in a valley, and suddenly it zooms out and I'm viewing myself running from an avalanche in third person, I get really terrified, and wake up.
I've had others that I can't remember except during the dream and shortly after I wake up. I can remember actually feeling, in a dream, that I've had this dream before.
