AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the psychological phenomenon known as déjà vu, where individuals feel they have experienced a situation before. Participants express their experiences related to déjà vu, including a reference to a movie that explores this theme, although the specific title and details remain elusive. The conversation humorously touches on the repetitive nature of certain posts and experiences, with some contributors jokingly referencing Yogi Berra's famous quote about déjà vu. There are also mentions of related concepts like "vuja de," which humorously describes the feeling of encountering something new yet familiar. The thread highlights a collective engagement with the topic of déjà vu and its implications in everyday life, including dreams and social interactions.

Some days ago they were playing a movie the plot of which was mainly centered on the phenomena where it appears to one that they have encountered the same situation, state of events previously in their past life. Then, I just watched it for a few minutes, and consulted Wikipedia for the story line.

I don't remember any details about this movie at the present time, details such as the title of the movie, name of the lead actor. I have been unsuccessfully trying to recall the technical term for that psychological phenomena which Wikipedia mentioned. So, could you please help me with this?

Finally, a situation where it is actually appropriate to say that it's deja vu, all over again!
 
The minute the term "Deja vi" appeared to my eyes the mind witnessed that it's the very term I was looking for somewhere in the oblivion of my mind. The movie was also titled after it. Thanks a lot.

I thought it was called a closed timelike loop.

Is there an echo in here or am I just imagining I've heard this somewhere before?

So we're doomed to keep repeating this thread until Jackson reposts his original post using correct sentence structure, punctuation marks, and capitalization and until Office Shredder, Gokul, and Pythagorean learn how to spell Déjà vu?

And when everyone finally posts their questions and replies perfectly, we can let this thread die?

Weekends? What kind of artificial time-division does that entail? Do people restrict their abuse of opiates to Wednesday and Thursday?

Usually not. However, brain surgeons, airline pilots, etc. ought to.

In that case, I guess my brain surgery can wait until Friday

It's only abuse if done on Wednesday and Thursday.

Now, This is familiar. Physics peoples being picked on for their social underdevelopment. Why does society treat us subhuman?

Yesterday night I had a horrible dream within a dream which looked very much familiar and I felt I have had it before many years ago. It was obviously a deja vu. What is the term for 'a dream within a dream'? Double dream, or dual dream?

By the way, it seems there is a lot of deja vu going on around the world!
