well i recently had a couple of dreams which i think were precognitive. I made a special note to remember them even though normally i wouldn’t have bothered because they were quite mundane. Next year i will be starting a college degree and I had a dream about being in my first class, so it shall be interesting to see if i experience the same thing… have to wait till next year to find out.
To begin with, i’d like to confess that i’m being a bit of a hippocrite. I moderate several programming forums, and tend to yell at anyone who doesn’t read through t least MOST of the topic before posting. I didnt have much time tonight, but wanted tog et this out there. My friend and I, while discussing possibilities for time travel, rationalized that for every change (even on the atomic level) the universe splits, leaving an infinite number of universes (in the multiverse). Now, at first we used this to say that certain quantum changes caused other universes to e further behind, and that they were cosntantly flowing forma single source (which defrays the paradox theory).
NOW, the place this ties into de ja vu, is that i believe its actually a form of rudimentary telepathy with our counterparts in like-universes. basically, you enter a certain zoned out frame of mind (or at least, i usually do), and during this time, a connection is made with universe similar to yours. the more different the universe from yours, the less likely you are to connect to it, because the differences accumulate as a sort of interference. With this considered, I can now account for the fact that De Ja Vu’s
- Tend to last a short time (you are startled out of them by there usually precog-like nature)
- havnt always happened (sometimes yu will make a rare connection to a far different universe), and
- arent usually exactly correct. In nearly every de ja vu i’ve had, ive noticed exceedingly minor flaws in the memory, such as a word that was changed, or a persons stance, or even something so simple as the words on a note.
If anyone has any thoughts ont his theory, im all ears!
Heck yeah, this happens to me every couple of days. I’ll just be doing something, and all of a sudden an instance will hit me as something I did or saw before in a dream. FINALLY someone knows what I’m talking about
I had one of these couple of nights ago. I just thought that I had that dream before and it was just continuing from that one before. But I don’t think I had that dream before after I think about it. The dream probably lasted for a couple of days it seemed.
CerealKlr, are you suggesting that one can induce Deja Vu? And in addition to your theory, which I see the logic of though I haven’t dedicated myself to the quantum mechanics of it just yet, suppose “our” universe, the one our conscience is usually limited to, is just behind another one. This could, in theory, explain both the shortness of Deja Vu activity (because we immediately catch up) and precog phenomenon. (Of course, assuming there’s some link between us and “us” in a different reality)
Well, that could well be it - that we’re one of the very first universes. Even odder however, is that by the laws of probability, were more likely somewhere near the middle! The reason our precogs are so short could then be explained as “the further in time, space, physical state, emotion, or thought you are from another universe, the less likely you are to link to it.” In tandem with that is the fact that it is usually such a shocking experience that its likely you would lose the link by rapid change in emotion! So, simply by cycling through all of the different requirements for uplink, I suppose you could induce it. I’m also leaving open the possibility that some people have more inborn talent then others. Also, you could probably teach yourself by learning to guess what your emotional state will be in a few seconds or minutes…
Very interesting… I’ll be sure to meditate on this soon…
And yes, I believe some people are naturals at precog, and I have my suspicions about a few. (rather socially awkward to talk about, but oh well)
I think this thread goes here.
I have had a huge Deja Vu. I was watching a movie called I-Robot with Will Smith. In the intro there were the 3 rules of robbotics. I instantly reconized them and named them before the movie pointed them out. However a book I thought I had gotten the 3 rules of robbotics did not have them. I searched online and could only find things that where posted after I-Robot came out. So I have a little bit of reason to believe that it was a kind of pre-dejavu, since I predicted the rules of robotics before they were revealed using what I thought was prior knowledge.
Any other weird Deja Vu stories???
you are mistaken the three laws of robotics appeared in Isaac Asimov’s novel in 1942!
link to wiki with the information
ok I knew I saw them somewhere. I thought they were not fiction though hmmm.
That’s really cool and chilling at the same time Chuck. How did you guys ever stumble across Isaac Asimov’s novel? I’d never heard of him before now.
neither have I. I thought the movie was original. Oh well, nothing is original anymore. Everything is just a remake of a movie that did good in the past,
i dont know if sombody else has already written this before, but i did not read all the posts in detail.
but some scientists say that dejavus are the product of a “two way process”. the information one gets with his perceptions usually goes to one specific area in your brain, lets say the visual cortex works with everything you see.
if one event splits up and goes to two (or more) different areas or the fragments reach one area a little delayed you get the feeling youve already had this information. that might be an explanation for the dejavu phenomenon
Anyone read J.W. Dunne’s An Experiment With Time? Interesting, though, not quite as scientific (or scientifically plausible, maybe) as I had hoped…
i heard of that one flawless , it is suppossed to be provoced by a lack of vitamins …
I had a couple of Deja vu , most of them normal things like my brother calling me to taste from a sauce , or the likes …
repeating deja vu…today I was at the tv studio I work in and some friend asked if I saw the boss around, in the meantime the only girl working there was passing by and I seemed to remember that exact scene from before and already deciding it was a deja vu a couple of times like it was recurring… the strange is that this studio is new and I didn’t even know those people 3 months ago. If the “two way process” theory is right then my dejavu sensation could have gone 2 ways making it recurring… cool… this could make an eternal loop
A couple of days ago I turned on my computer and started for no discernable reason to hum a song. Then when I turned on my internet radio that song started playing. Just thought it was odd.
While i was reading the Nightmare DJ topic i had the wierdest sense of deja vu that i had read the first few pages before… maybe i did but i felt that i read the dreams on a different forum but it was wierd
This is a split topic, the next part is here
that’s called derealization, it happens to me a lot.
