Deja "Vu

[Gracie]

Anyone ever experience this? If so, do you find it to be a bit freaky?

Didn't I already read this thread? Spooky.

I remember being surprised the first time I read Catch 22, when I learned from it about there being other "Vu's"
Presque Vu: almost seen. The feeling that you're on the verge of some great revelation, but it slips away.
Jamais Vu: never seen. Seeing familiar people or places or settings in a totally unfamiliar way.
I've had sensations of Deja Vu that left me feeling chills all over, sure that I'd gone through the same event/conversation/what-have-you before.
Presque Vu I experience all the time. I'm positive that I'm on the verge of knowing something really important or relevant. Then I realize how stupid I am and start over again.
Jamais Vu is the creepiest, imho.

Doesn't really bother me. I'm used to it.

I think it's a mental illusion...just a sensation. I've read descriptions of why it happens, too, but I can't recall them. They were enough to satisfy me, though.

LOL@pops!

Deja vu never happens to me. I liked the idea forwarded in the matrix movies.

I experience it all the time. It's quite freaky, and it drives me mad. Mainly it just makes me feel like I have a bad memory, like if my memory were better, I'd remember why it feels familiar.

I've experience Presque Vue several times too. But I always figured i was daydreaming. LOL

I don't think it counts as Deja Vu, but what bugs me is the horrible, knot like butterflies in my stomach that tell me 'something is wrong.' Its rare, but it is always spot on. I hate it because I don't know what the 'something' is. It is abrupt too, so I know I will find out soon enough.

THe presque vu normally corrects itself pretty quick and I get my revelation.

I get the jamais vu ALL THE TIME - all it takes is that 'certain slant of light'.



I get deja vu SO MUCH. I get times where I feel like EVERYHTING I am doing a t a certain moment is an EXACT repeat.



I also get a bit of deja vu when it comes to some of my phobias (mainly heat and fire).

I agree, it is the same sort of mental sensation that makes me a bit OCD.


I however, don't htink that ANYTHING can ever be really cut and dried when it comes to your conciousness.


There is probably an aspect of having a flas of insight about your life and the nature of (your?) existance (or even in extreme cases, some have suggested some remmebrance of past existances).
