Dejavu

[Slevin57]

I had some serious fuckin Dejavu today. I don't even know if that's the right word.

Anyway, I go to this 7-11 down the road from circuit city, I get some eclipse gum (which I never do) and as I'm getting in my car this kid asks me to buy him some cigarettes (black and mild to be precise). I say no, then get back in my car.

The whole time I feel like I've already done this before.

The whole thing from turning into the 7-11 to heading back toward circuit city was dejavu, I seem to remember it more as a dream happening.

Weird stuff.

Déjà Vu

[The muffin man]

J'ai deja vu ca.

[Inactive Cargo]

I thought this was going to be about the movie.

[crooked]

I find that i often get retrospective deja vu. what i mean is that i will be in bed or whatever thinking back on my day and it will hit me that a certain event that took place has happened before.

the way i see it, its likely that deja vu is caused by the fact that the passage of time is an illusion.

This movie was neat.

But anyway, a lot of the time I get almost like visions. And I know something is wrong. I can mess with it too. I know when certain things are coming. For instance, this Thanksgiving, I looked at my mom and asked her if she heard something. She was like wtf? We were sitting at the table and we heard a loud crash. A vase had broken in another room. Quite freaky. I have also prevented possible car wrecks, odd but I see it as a gift.

[MasterGlitch]

Usually when I get deja vu it's very specific. Everything seems to have happened before, right down to the tiniest detail. Sometimes I can even replay exactly what a person will say and do in my head, like a second ahead of them. It's the freakiest experience ever.

[Slevin57]

Yeah that's what I get.

[Shins]

I'm similar to crooked; when I look over my day, I find a lot of parallels, similar situations, things that I feel that I've done before. I attribute it to just being a case where I really do go through a lot of the same motions most days, so I come to subconsciously see stuff, even if I don't actively notice it. When it invariably happens again, I feel like I've been in the same place and seen the same thing, except now, it's moved forward to the front of my conscious perspective.

Another weird thing I've experienced is time slowing down. It's odd; never seems to be a pattern to what triggers it. Basically, it's as if everything melts away and slows, and I feel like I can see/hear everything around me, each action individual and separate, rather than the usual jumble of sensory input. It's like my mind becomes, for a brief moment, very focused. At those moments, I feel like I could do pretty much anything. Too bad I'm usually too taken-aback by the experience to do much more than look around in bewilderment.

Yeah, PCP is like that I hear. :P

[Orbixx]

I get that occasionally, except I can never remember if it REALLY did happen or whether I dreamt it, but I sure do recall it.

I seem to just be able to know what people are thinking, sometimes in great detail, sometimes in vague detail, but I often freak the shit out of people. I once was able to tell my girlfriend what she was thinking with scary precision, 5 times in a row, one thought after the other.

Yea I've had that too...seriously strange...it happens to me though when I'm doing sports or something physical...So I just put it down as some sort of adrenalin spike.

As for De javu... I have that sometimes but it doesn't really shock me or anything because of the I do a lot of crap...So my guess it is that my memory doesn't fully remember the event..yet my brain is saying its familar and confuses you. Then again I don't know I don't study this kind of thing.

Maybe you have esp Orbixx?

[Tingebing]

I had Deja Vu alot, and i think it's funny, mostly is about my actions conversation etc. Once i was able to say the sentnce before someone else would say it, i get this cuz i have weird reams...

Have you ever dreamt about the lengt of a car when invoked by a circle but with alterations thanks too a freaky living pc with a 100 inch monitor? I have! now call me a weirdo and slap an nutcase in my face...

[Orbixx]

Stop smoking weed.

[MasterGlitch]

now call me a weirdo and slap an nutcase in my face...

:wow: :think:

What an oddly sexual sentence...

[Coolguy]

Ah...I love dreaming the future...
the furthest I was able to fortell was about a year....or perhaps a bit more.

Long story short - I dreamt of being in this girl's bedroom....soon after I was in an e-relationship and after a couple of months I traveled 8 hours to see her...and voila...it was her bedroom.

Anyways...how does one try to explain the fact that this is humanly possible?

like that.

[Slevin57]

Crooked, Explain yourself, nihilist.

[crooked]

i'm not a nihilist. i'm a non-specific pantheist. i believe that what we call "reality" is merely an illusion. to quote David Icke: "Infinite love is the only truth -
everything else is illusion."

[Orbixx]

David Icke: "Infinite love is the only truth -
everything else is illusion."

I call BS on that quote.

[Shins]

i believe that what we call "reality" is merely an illusion.

An illusion in relation to what, though? Reality cuts a pretty broad swath.

[crooked]

An illusion in relation to truth.

[MasterGlitch]

An illusion in relation to truth.

So, what is the truth?

[crooked]

"Infinite love is the only truth -
everything else is illusion."

sometimes i feel like i'm repeating myself.

[Shins]

How do you live your life around that mantra?

[crooked]

its easy really. you just dont care about anything.

[MasterGlitch]

sometimes i feel like i'm repeating myself.

That's such a vague quote, though.

Infinite love in what sense? From where? Directed at/from whom? If reality isn't real, then where do our conciousnesses lie? What is the ultimate truth of our existence(without saying the phrase "infinite love")?

Those are just a few of the questions that pop to mind.

[Shins]

But there are a number of things to care about branching out or encompassed in infinite love, aren't there?

[Slevin57]

Trinity: I know why you're here, Neo. I know what you've been doing... why you hardly sleep, why you live alone, and why night after night, you sit by your computer. You're looking for him. I know because I was once looking for the same thing. And when he found me, he told me I wasn't really looking for him. I was looking for an answer. It's the question that drives us, Neo. It's the question that brought you here. You know the question, just as I did.

Neo: What is the Matrix?

Trinity: The answer is out there, Neo, and it's looking for you, and it will find you if you want it to.

The ancients called it Aristeia. Greeks would notice something like this in the heat of battle when a soldier, for a period of time, would become virtually invincible and tear enemies to shreds left and right. The person under the spell would often describe symptoms such as time slowing down and a heightened perception of his surroundings, much like you have said.

This is also supposidly the Viking warrior state of "berserk".
