    im sure you guys have all talked about it before, but i want to know if anyone else gets chronic spouts of de javu sometimes? i visited america in june/july for the first time, and i have family over there.. i did the whole west coast and went into montana and glacier...and so on. the whole trip i felt like i had seen it all and done it all before in a way that it felt so close, but faint too. and when i was in the Tea-Ton(sp?) Canyons in montana i felt so spiritually awake and alive and free and happy and connected to the energy around me...the last place i saw there i had seen in a dream like more than 3 times in my life - a reocuuring dream that i estimate the first time i dreamt of the place was when i was about 14...maybe even younger. alot of times i see places that seem so familiar, and i have a lot of de javu, but this place really was exactly the same.
    what do you think? what are your experiences?

    I get deja vu sometimes. I thought of it this way, deja vu happens to let you know you're on the right track in life. If I have it often, it makes me feel like I'm doing exactly what I'm supposed to be doing in life.

    =) Just a thought.

    I used to have Deja vu when i was younger..but not anymore. personaly i think its the short term 'instant' memory getting mixed up with the long term memory ... so when you see something it gets shunted straight to the long term memory..so then you think you have seen it before, but you have not ... possibly.



    awwww that sad. move a few things around , have a clear up. or just put up a few posters up if you can....it always works for me.

    for me, deja-vu is a sign, but usually a very difficult one to read. it tells me more about what's going on inside my head then about anything i think i've experienced before. for me it doesn't matter where i am, or what i'm experiencing twice; it's more about, "what's been going on inside my head for me to have this kind of shift?"

    btw, the accepted clinical explanation for deja-vu is that your mind is processing the experience in two places at slightly different times, so it feels like you've experiened it before, when really it's just a delayed proccess within your brain. so, in a sense, deja-vu really is something you've experienced before. =P

    I used to get deva vus, but not from any particular place, they were triggered by words. Random words though. So, I never figured out what caused them, because each time it was a different word. Sometimes i'd get 10 in an hour. But I haven't had them for over a month.

    oops... sorry. didn't know there was romance involved. i didn't say that's what actually happens, that's just the "accepted clinical explanation." clinical models are wrong all the time.

    and anyway, what else would you expect from a virgo? :p

    nothin to freak about really...pretty cool sometimes, but excessive is annoying.
    virgo hippy - yah...atleast you know about your traits and aren't ignorant to it...i never seem to get by in life without a virgo around to get under my skin ;)

    it is believed that the universe is expanding, and when it gets to a certain point, it will snap back inwards into itself and all of time will play back in reverse until it reaches the beginning once again, at which point the universe will once again expand, and we will all play out this same exact life once again. and then again. and then again. deja vu seems so real because this may be our fourth, fifth, or even hundredth time doing this same thing.
