predicting dream's ,deja vu's and destiny.

[TheDuckOfFlanders]

I don't know if other's on this board had gotten those same experience's.
ever had a dream where you was just put in a situation where you said something ,and then ,after sometimes a long time that exact situation with the exact response happened in real life.
If have these things a lot ,mainly simple thing's ,like im dreaming that i'm sitting in a car and i say something to a person ,and then a few years later that actually happens ,and on the spot you know you once dreamed about this situation

They call them deja vu's in french.It make's you really think of how much of youre live is controlled by destiny? you see something quite unimportant really happening in a dream that happens years later ,and youre wondering how youre dream's could predict such a minor thing years in front.

Well ,anybody got those same experience's once and awhile.I'm not religous but such experience's really make you think.

Yeah I get deja-vu quite a lot, I read a theory once that it was caused by the mind doing some kind of 'double-take' making you believe you'd been in that situation before but im not convinced. I usually get the impression the first time i experiences whatever it is was quite a while before.

Yeah I had deja-vu a few times.. I just get the feeling that I was in the same situation doing the same thing before.. one of those few times it happened to me I mentioned it to my friends and one of them said he'd just felt it to..

I'm sure there's a logical explanation.. maybe my friend was lying and my mind was playing tricks.. then again maybe there's another explanation.. the mind is still largely a scientific mystery..

Anyway I haven't had a deja-vu feeling in years..

deja-vu ?

I think i have one of those each week....

This happened to me all the time when I was a child... but either I grew out of it, or I'm simply not dreaming as much (because I get less sleep these days.)

The psychological explanation is that your experience is similar enough to your previous dream to remind you of it, and then your mind fills in the blanks. You remember the dream as having been identical to the experience, but it was actually only similar to the experience.

Memory is highly fallible when it comes to details, unless "anchored" by association and repetition.

I prefer the metaphysical explanation -- that time isn't always linear and little rifts happen here and there resulting in visions of ghosts of the past and flashes of the future... Maybe all those Big Foot or Loch Ness Monster sightings are actually visions of ancient ghosts, and UFO sightings visions of the future... (In addition to the standard "died a violent death" ghosts that people report seeing...)

But Occam's Razor works against my preference... At any rate, ghosts and deja vu are irrelevant if they can't be exploited for strategic advantage -- and my perception is the major beneficiaries of the belief in these things are hucksters and con artists...

I belive the sientific explination is somethinbg like: there is a timedelay between your brainhalf that makes you think that you already been in that situation...

I don't see a connection between deja-vu and destiny.

Isn't deja-va ('already seen') about the past, and destiny is about the past, present and future ?

Even if there was something like destiny, why would it pay me a visit in my dreams?

i get one every couple of months, sometimes is actually creates a fear-like reaction. Quite strange I must say.
