dreams of the future

Ascalon

Sooooo you are saying that deja vu's might be actually the merging of 2 parallel universes and we get a slight flashback? Interesting..... i had one recently, i knew what was gonna happen yet... I stopped.... i looked and observed, the words seemed to be coming out of my mouth yet i had no control of them. There is even cases in which i attemped and succeded to do something different.

Good post

No, someone said that some unidentified persons said that. We will not be pursuing that discussion.

There's a medical explanation for deja vu. It has something to do with the firing order of certain neurons in the brain.

I've had the same kind of experience the OP is describing. As zoobyshoe has said, I was more excited at the fact that life seemed to play out just like I remember it from way earlier (not even sure if it was from a dream or not) for a dozen or so seconds. What the exact events were I don't remember either, but I do remember that the deja'vu was triggered by some uncommon event that happened in my classroom, and then I started paying close attention to the proceeding events.


You, my good man, are sounding crazy!

I found the effect of music or sound while I was in sleep.
I realized the sound during my sleep can influence the dream itself.
It was weird.
But, I experimented good music and heavy metal ~
It was different ~ especially when I was about to wake up.
It gives very pleasant feeling secure and serene with the music that I liked.

So, try ~ perhaps you might alter the dream of your course. It worked for me.

Scary how often some of you have deja vu. Almost sounds made up.

Same. Even an alarm clock

I saw the article about altering the dreams in the newspaper, online,
the Strait Times in Singapore, by nearly similar way. Weird ~
I was scared. If inducing good dreams are perfectly fine - but inducing nightmare
or something that one didn't like? under the sleep mode, how one can resist it?
if it was forced - which means negatively used, if any. It has always doubled-edged.
Good and bad -

I had this happen to me when I was about 30 years old.
It was almost every day. I would see small slots of time in my subconcionsness whan I was dreaming.
then a few days later the exact thing would occur, so much to where I could predict what a friend wanted to tell me or what was going to happen.

I was critically injured when I was a little child and was in a comma for a while. I am not sure that has anything to do with it . The precog stuff stopped quite a while ago.

I found these people were suffering with disturbed sleeps.
Very weird way ~

What do you mean by 'misfiring neurons'? From my limited biological knowledge I'll assume it means that one reacts to stimuli in order to access memories of dreams/visions and thus morph them to suit a situation (unintentionally of course). This would imply that deja vu is entirely subjective and explain the frequency of deja vu in different people. In terms of music (and I consider myself to be quite an expert on weird stuff) try music from a project called 'Sunn 0)))' or Burzum's 'Rundtgåing av den transcendentale egenhetens støtte'; I certainly experienced Deja Vu from these.

I've experienced exactly what the OP is describing. I dream about a certain place or action/event, with all of the components of the surroundings: colors, smells, feel, etc... Then, anywhere from 1-9 months later, I will live exactly what I dreamed. I can literally say what is going to happen in a situation, or what something will look like, all of this before I experience it.

I have ruled this out to be my brain wanting to accommodate my dream, that is, filling in information as I go along. Example: I dream of a vague place, and then can't recall my dream. later on, using my past experiences, I can create an approximate description of the event/place to come, and then once I experience it, my judgment is biased by my will to see my predictions fulfilled, and therefore I accept what I just lived as exactly what I foresaw. I hope this wasn't too confusing.

I get Deja Vu a lot - a lot. once, twice a week, maybe more sometimes. I think it's probably a brain-thing, like a glitch when getting new info into short-term memory. Happens more if I haven't slept well (which I take as evidence of some biological reason). I did look at the links posted here. Interesting.
I remember dreams of things that ended up happening in real life too. I think it's my brain matching one to the other - even if they really didn't match that closely. Sometimes I swear it's a 100% match, but dreams are kind-of hard to recall exactly and they might be more prone to being distorted than real memories.

A few years ago we had a white cat. My wife & I were in the dining room. We both saw the cat walk down the hall. About a minute later the cat was at the sliding door wanting to come in. All the doors and windows were closed. It only happened once, but I have heard other people have had cat stories like this.

well i have deja-vus quite often, and it occured to me on a few events that i remember dreaming that exact event sometime before .. could be its just my brain malfunctioning though.
and if you take in consideration that alot of our memory is recreated/extrapolated on use from just a few bits of actually saved data...

I have never spoke of this till now.Since I was a child I had found that I could remember some dreams, that had come to pass.I think the correlation was if you dont reflect on it you forget it.I could remember how I felt in the dream and when that same sensation came to pass I would remember that dream immediately.This is my theory on dejavu basically a dream that had been forgotten and triggered by a feeling and was remembered by that feeling.I believe not everybody has this because of decreased sensitivity by people in general for various reasons.

Anecdotes are ok as long as you do not propose what they could be. Personal theories are not allowed.

I've had this happen on 3 occasions, and each time it's almost bewildering. Actually make that 4 times, as it happened last night.
