Alex Suraci Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 I heard that it's becuase of your brain, er, "lagging" for lack of a better word. It's when, for instance, two sets of nerves are supposed to be going at the same rate, but one "lags" behind, and the other reaches before, and then the other one reaches, causing a double..er, well, deja vu. :p But keep in mind I have no idea what I'm talking about. Edit: obake is probably right. :blush: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/325586-why-do-we-get-deja-vus/page/3/#findComment-585985997 Share on other sites More sharing options...

metallithrax Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 I remember one deja vu event/attack (don't know what to call it)I had. I was on a boating holiday on the Norfolk Broads (UK), we were in a pub playing darts and I stopped just before throwing a dart and said"you know, I'm sure I've been here and done this before". My mates fell about ****ing themselves with laughter. We had been on the beer and had been in the same pub about 30mins earlier and were playing darts then as well. Too many pints of "Weasel (sp) ****" (a real beer), me thinks.

Shetland Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 Deja-vu rocks, its interesting for me when i get it, makes me think that bit harder:P The theories quoted in this thread are probably right. the whole "say what someone says before they say it" is ENTIRELY different btw, i have done that once, ****ing CREEPY when you say an entire sentence or two of the same thing and the same, both totally stunned but dont stop till the end of the sentence not even thinking, looking at each other like "WTF" Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/325586-why-do-we-get-deja-vus/page/3/#findComment-585986408 Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulCabby Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 Deja Vu happens when something is edited within the Matrix :ninja: But really, i see it as a coincidence. *edit* gah i couldnt be bothered to read the thread, beaten 4 times about the Matrix comment *edit* Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/325586-why-do-we-get-deja-vus/page/3/#findComment-585986424 Share on other sites More sharing options...

This used to not happen, but its very frequent. Because one time my friend tripped me and i busted my tooth cuz i wasn't aware he was comin up behind me and I smashed my chin on the ground. But instantly i matched the glare of the sun to my picture in my mind. I wasn't even concentrated on my bleeding chin or my tooth it was crazy. :rofl: Half the time, I get fast images I can't even remember or can barely see until they happen. Then I can see the image perfectly and i'm like O_O.
