yes i've had a couple of deja vu's, sometimes i dream something (generally something really trivial) and a nearly similar event occurs in life (atleast thats how i perceive it), i also have deja vu's that are not dream related

I really start to like this thread. Maybe it's the time difference, I thought this thread would die real fast, cause it was off to a slow start. Many interesting post indeed.

I have a hypothesis concerning deja vu'. I think it is a false memory of an event or situation not really experienced previously. It is an artifact of the brain. Our brains are always doing tricky stuff. That is why we experience optical illusions and magicians (so-called) are able to entertain us.

Maybe you're right. As I said at the start, I'm no expert, but I get fascinated of such things. Even complete insanity is fascinating. The brain is highly underestimated.

I experienced deja vu occasionally when I was younger but can't recall noticing it in the last twenty years.

Looks like it's something that goes away when aging. I have had this experiences after I was fourty, but reading many posts here, it seems like many posters loose it in their twenties. Hm..Strange. Someone must do some thinking here :D

I think that i have experienced some things that are simular to Deja vu, sort of like I have had something hapen before. But my theory of what it possibly is is that when my brain over useing some spaces that I have previously used for memory, it has either not erased it completly or somthing and my brain might now get confused that I have had a simular event in the past, when in actual fact my brain might have misfiled or used what could be described as partialy corupted memory sorce. I have tried to figure it out by looking at the other memory and the most I can think of is that the old one has goten partialy mixed with new one aswell, as their seems to be spaces.

I happened to me more than once. A quite memorable memory was at a family reunion.

We were talking and I said "didn't we talk about that yesterday ?" I really thought I had lived this moment and could tell every single sentence...
