We finally understand DEJA VU!

[smack]

The deja vu I experience is more than just the environment, it’s that but also the conversations, people and actions that are all exactly the same as I remember. Feels like I dreamt it before or something

[MegamanXGold]

The older I get, the less deja vu I experience. Also, I always had a feeling as a kid that I could remember the dream I had months before where I had seen that place before.

This explanation of Deja Vu makes me wonder if people suffering from alzheimer's are living in a world of constant Deja Vu

[paulcooper]

Deja Vu is a broader experience that just seeming like you have been in this place before.

[CreativeMindsAudio]

yeah makes sense, but how does this explain the deja vu i get when i dream something and then something similar happens?

[mdboi]

Uhhh…. No. That’s not just it. There is definitely more to it.

[Sanoi]

This is how I have been experiencing deja vu forever. I can always recall the memory that is similar to what triggers my deja vu and identify the specific elements that are the same. The memory is very often from dreams (that I have been writing down for years)

[JaxBlade]

Deja Vu is SUCH A WEIRD EXPERIENCE when u recognize it. Like I just had some hit Hard right now and I'm like "maybe the reason we get Deja Vu is when we die we are reborn & those are just flashes of our past lives" or just a glitch in the matrix, or a resetting in the Good Place *smokes blunt*

Deja Vu!
I've just been in this place before
(Higher on the street)
And I know it's my time to go~🎵🎵

When I experience deja vu, it’s always a place (sometimes people) that I have seen months or years ago in my dreams. Usually my immediate reaction is “omg I have seen this part in my dream” 😮

[wessltov]

I sometimes get strong deja vu from things I hear, smell, or even learn.
I'm not a visual person at all, so that could explain why my brain considers situations similar enough

[electricerger]

I can imagine dreams just make this 10x worse since you're unlikely to remember a layout in a dream.

[jinnojoaquincayetano]

The deja vu I've experienced was when 2 months later you encounter the same area. The same people. The same movement. And the same action. Like it's repeating

[Blackmark]

This is the best explanation of dèja vu I've heard. It makes so much intuitive sense that it's almost like dèja vu.

[christianalseth]

I’m having a deja vu of yet another unsatisfying explanation of this phenomenon.

[Sxmply_happz]

Deja vu is actually the person in a parrel universe is you, they experience something at the same time as you

[WinterWitch]

That’s great, but I get déjà vu at home more often than anywhere else and obviously the layout of my home isn’t triggering memories of somewhere else.

[dakotaskong]

TLDR: I experienced deja vu that felt like an actual real memory but was actually just deja vu and it felt so weird

I experienced deja vu today but I thought It wasn’t deja vu until I said smth about it. I was sitting in my art class I normally go to in Thursday’s and my friend was telling a very specific story about a specific text message she recieved from a specific friend and how another specific friend had said a specific thing in reaction to seeing said text. Once she finished speaking I said I you already told us this and both her and the other friend we were with said no. The one friend hadn’t told us about it and she showed me that the text she was talking about had been sent to her after the last time I had seen them. I remember that specific conversation happening in the same place with the same people around us (the other people in the studio change seats every week) it literally felt like any other memory from a week ago I’m still confused lmao usually it’s obvious to me when it is deja vu theres a specific feeling or smth slightly different in the deja vu but this felt like an exact memory

[HarroKitteh]

Explains a lot for me.

I get a shitload of deja vu when gaming with a specific friend.

We basically play the same games for years and obviously we probably bring up the same discussions.

So sometimes he probably brings something up that we may have had a similar conversation to and it triggers it.
