Deja Vu: Whats the story?

Muff_Daddy

I had a serious bout of Deja Vu in college today. It was crystal clear, my head was spinning for about 10 minutes.

It got me thinking, why does it happen? how does it happen? I've never actually been able to get my head around where it comes from. Is it flashbacks from previous lives deep in our sub-conscience?

My head is probably still wrecked from the episode today, so apologies in advance if you think i'm talking sh1te.

Got it ever since I was young, I always knew what would happen next.

I love Deja-Vu, great to remind yourself that the brain is so damn powerful (and then head to the pub to destroy it).

It happens to me a lot. I just think it's because the situation is quite similar to a situation you have been in before but you may not remember it well.

This one today was more than just a similar situation, it was literaly identical! It's hard to explain it, but it seriously felt like i'd been in the situation before. I've had stronger bouts of it before, and it just amazes me. I do get a great buzz out of them most times, leaves my head in a right spin.

Sign that they've changed something in the matrix?

I had the same experience starting secondary school. On entering the main hall I knew I had already been in this place, everything was as I had seen it before without actually having been there! It was fascinating to say the least.

But the downside is that this kind of experience apparently can also be contributed scientifically to a form of epilepsy which is common. Saying that there is a slight mild form of epilepsy in my family. So go figure, is it a brain stutter flashback type thingy, or is it something more mystical? Science is by nature an unproven thing by the brain so De Ja Vu as portrayed by the Matrix as well could well be a simple minor cross wiring defect?

Suppose that explains the Matrix dissapointing ending.

I believe the technical explanation is that it happens whenever they change something in the matrix

Déjà vu is essentially a failure of recall: it's the impression that the experience is being recalled from our memory when it's not. One of the features of déjâ vu is that for most of us, whilst the present feeling is strong, the details of the past experience are usually sketchy. It's as if there's an overlap between our short- and long-term memory.

Read this before in a science book. Your memory kinda jumps so you get the feeling you're been there before but its just the way your brain is processing the situation - it processes it twice as such.
