Deja Vu ? ? ?

[G.Kumaraguru]

How many of you have Experienced Deja vu ??

Two years back I was terrified by this phenomenon because it was so accurate. I felt the every detail of certain events to have already been known to me..

But Ever Wondered what makes our brain think so ??

...Hey wait a minute...I feel I have posted this before..
Is this my Imagination or it really happened.. ??

I had a really wierd dream once, I couldn't make head nor tail of it. At the moment I'm writing a programming language and a few weeks ago I was stuck on a really tricky tachnical problem, then for no particular reason I thought back to that dream, and I realised that I'd actally dreamed the answer months before I even knew about the problem.

Have you changed your view on Deja Vu? Your post in this thread sounds contrary to what you discussed with me and Gen-X a few months back.

Especially, I am interested in the part that you perhaps could never have known about that problem at your perceived time of solving it in the past (as a dream).

I've had strange ones where the "dream" was about a location that I had never been to, then down the road, I physically went to that location and "recalled the 'dream'" with maybe a 20 second lead time in "predicting the future". There was a measurable time interval betwen the endpoints of "knowing the event" before the event happened and when the event actually physically happened.

When you solved the problem physically "the physical endpoint", did you recall the time interval to the "knowing" endpoint?
