Does having a "Deja Vu" mean we can see our own future?

[Sebastos]

I've had it happen to me so many times. I'm dreaming and in that dream something happens to me. When i'm not dreaming, what I dreamt about happens to me.

Does this happen to anyone else? I'm guess the answer is yes?

You're essentially saying that your dreams come true...



... did you dream about this thread? What was the outcome?

 

[Sebastos]

Well yeah I guess you could put it that way. I didn't dream about making this thread...but I have dreamt about other things coming true.

I once dreamt about my grandma (who has alzheimers) talking to me for once and saying my name then my grandpa's name. When I went to visit her she said my name, but not just my grandpa's name, my uncle's name too.

 

[knowsbleed]

Honestly, I have never had that happen to me... and I don't think that's what most people think of when people mention the term "deja vu".

When I think of deja vu, I think of the odd feeling of familiarity. Having been in that situation or experienced that... uh... experience... previously. It is a discomforting feeling to me, I have no sense of joy when having it. It pretty much creeps me out and leaves me dumbfounded for a few moments before resetting myself and moving on with my life.

It happens when your time is looped back to correct a previous change, just so the timeline can align themselves.

It's like when you throw a pebble on a river, you'll get droplets coming out of the water but it all goes back into the river. Of course the bigger the pebble, rock or whateve the bigger the splash, the bigger the temporal disturbance, but it all corrects itself.

We experience this correction as deja vu. Just time looping in on itself.











Wow. I almost sound like I've thought this out.

 

[Majic Walrus]

We experience Deja Vu when situations cause our senses to interpret information that our brain thinks it's already seen before.
This causes us to think that we have experienced this situation in the past or maybe we just saw into the future to the current experience.

That or a time vortex created by a Supervillan.

Coincidence?

Most Deja Vu's are regularly daily occurences you already have in a certain routine, you wouldn't be surprised if they happened in real life in a similar fashion.

Dreams are 1/60th of Prophecy....

Your dream wasn't very prophetic was it? I mean you got it wrong. She didn't say your name and your grandpa's name. She said your name and your grandpa's name and your uncle's name.

I've had this happen to me once before. When I was younger, about 6 or 7, I dreamt that I had gone to school with normal school events happening and then when I woke up the next day, it played out like it had done in my dream..

It was wierd.. but it's only happened that one time. I also once dreamt that i had drowned in a swimming pool and then I was stood next to my sleeping body and I saw my 'dream' body float down through my bedroom ceiling and into my sleeping body. Then I woke up. That was wierd too.

 

[Majic Walrus]

Once I drempt that I woke up and went to take a shower. Then when I actually did wake up that's exactly what I did... Weird I know.

 

[knowsbleed]

One time I dreamed I was falling... and then I woke up and fell out of my chair while in class. My professor really enjoyed that.

I think Deja Vu is more in terms of the mind playing tricks on you. You may have a vision of something like a car crash, the next car crash you see might have similarities but i feel that your mind would register it as the exact thing.

 

[The Guard]

I have experienced deja vu as a "dream coming true" before. Where you could swear you just experienced something you dreamed about, and simultaneously experience something you dreamed prior, somehow knowing you dreamed of this thing before. And there is usually a point where the "dream" experience is in the "now", before the "deja vu" occurs.

 

[Sebastos]

Your dream wasn't very prophetic was it? I mean you got it wrong. She didn't say your name and your grandpa's name. She said your name and your grandpa's name and your uncle's name.

She said all three names. What I mean is that I felt like I lived that moment when she said it...

Exactly.

****ing awesome!!!

I've actually thought about time travel alot before. I'm a believer. Not so much that someone can just hop in a time machine and send their future self back to the past, as much as our consciousness could possibly do it (*cough*LOST*cough*).

This morning I read that some people theorise that traumatic events and cataclysms can echo backwards in time. The book cited a note scribbled by JFK consisting of "9/11" and "conspiracy" which was underlined.

Total coincidence, but awesome idea.

 

[AndThePickles]

Having an actual feeling of deja vu while you're awake has been hypothesized to be a glitch in the electrical impulses of your brain...some people say that if you have them too often, it means something is therefore wrong with your brain.

I read an article about Deja Vu about a year ago. A theroy was stated that you could see around a millisecond into the future and the light/image bounces back to give you the feeling you already had seen or done it.

i had a dream about a car crash on an exit ramp , the next week someone died there in a fatal crash .


a few years ago i was driving home from a friends and was falling asleep at the wheel , then i saw myself getting caught underneath a trucks tires and dying .i snapped out of it just in time and stopped the car , a truck went by. a couple days later i went back to the friend's house and his mother was reading the paper and the front page had a picture of someone dying the exact same way.

it was all very weird .
