I have moments where the moment I experience feels familiar and yet I have a hard time placing where I've seen it before. The moments themselves are random and insignificant. I think I see them in my dreams and then forget about them only for them to come as a shock when it actually happens.

I don't generally get Deja Vu, I do have recurrent issues with recollective confabulation though. Basically I'll have the sensation that new things are new when they're happening. But, when I remember them, it will feel like something that has happened many times before. I think my brain just does so much work to make things a part of a pattern to squeeze as much into my head as possible, that it doesn't bother to record new memories as being new and not part of a wider pattern.

Quote:
Déjà vu is the phenomenon of feeling as though one has lived through the present situation before. It is an illusion of memory whereby—despite a strong sense of recollection—the time, place, and context of the "previous" experience are uncertain or impossible.


Not an actual memory. Just the feeling that it's a memory, when it's not.

(This is a response to the thread, not anyone in particular.)

I get this all the time. Almost every day I start thinking "has this happened before?"

that's exactly what happens to me! Except when when it happens, I remember the moment in the dream, and sometimes a little bit of the dream itself.

Yeah I get this and always have and also it's as if the moment that I'm experiencing drags on for way longer than just one moment

Like as if time slows right down

too many times to list, one major one was in my early 20s, i was working in a surplus store when i had a clear mental image of the room and work desk i would be around in my next job, and sure enough- 3 months later, i was at that very spot in my new employer's building.
