Got Deja Vu/Clairvoyance?
 

I was driving home yesterday (67 mi. on the I-5) and had a "deja vu" moment. It jolted me from my "cruise control" trance and I realized I hadn't had a "d-j" moment in about 2 years.

I used to have them all the time when I was younger, at least 2 a month. It was always a very small 'snippet" of time, but I felt it had happened before.

My Wife is somewhat "clairvoyant" and can sense "people" at times. Nothing major, just friends relatives "still hanging around", that kind of thing.

I was just wondering, how many of you guys/gals have stories about this stuff. Do you feel you (or a friend, or relative) have a 'Gift"?

I think I've answered this before.








Seriously I've three or four incidents that I will go to my ash pile affirming that I have.

It's pretty easily explained, but I hesitate to disappoint you.

I knew you'd say that..

:D

Awww man, you're harshin my buzzz.

I know. I've had some POWERFUL Deja Vu's before. Really disappointed when I learned what they were. Yep. Buzz kill.

C'mon guys, I'm serious, we all have one of those "I always thought it was bull***** , until.."

You want me to explain it? You will be disappointed.

If this has to do with my "excessive sweating" reacting with my tin foil hat, I don't need a second opinion. :D
In my best Ricky Ricardo voice.. "Splain, 'splain.."

I knew that:p

Memories are electrochemical events. They need to be processed into cellular storage in milliseconds. Pretty complicated stuff. Deja vu is extremely common in people with temporal lobe epilepsy and other organic brain disorders. Many epileptics report strong Deja vu right before a seizure. Other conditions associated with Deja vu are fatigue, low blood sugar, etc.

So here is the general idea; you walk into a house for the first time. Your eyes send visual signals through the optic nerve to the storage area of your brain. Your brain processes the visual image incorrectly, storing it in a "long term" memory file rather than a "short term" file. A millisecond later, a new visual image is properly recorded in your short term file. Your brain makes note of the fact that you have already seen this room. Your brain cannot determine if the poorly transcribed visual memory happened yesterday or many years ago. Deja vu.

The exact mechanisms of Deja vu are not well known, but this is a reasonable approximation.

Yet another reason I switched to Mac:D
But what about the ability to see or "feel" incidents about to happen?

If you'd like to go deeper, there are three types of Deja vu. These are déjà vecu (already experienced), déjà senti (already felt) and déjà visité (already visited).

Well, I walked into this hotel room once.....in the bed was a man, a bear and a pig. I had the distinct feeling I was someone else. THen it ended. That's that.

Aside from DJ I've never had a precog event.


Yet




I think





yep, never.

I know how this ends!!

For those with "special powers", there's still a million dollars waiting for you. :)

The challenge started in 1964, but the reward was only $1000 then.

Still no winner.
