DEJA VU

self enlightenment exercise no. 21 

Déjà Vu is a compelling sense of familiarity with an event that is about to happen.  It can be so strong that it’s as if the event has already happened.

It is experienced by over 70% of adults, but remains a mystery with very little being known about it.

Unfortunately, there is no method of causing a Déjà Vu to happen, so I am sorry that I cannot post an actual exercise for this here.

Instead, it would be enlightening to read personal experiences of Déjà Vu with views as to why they occur and whether they are a good or bad thing.

So if you had a Déjà Vu that you can remember, please share it by adding it to the comments area below.

Janet's Gravatar I had a near death experience when I was 21. The experience left me with many many questions that lead to answers through living and seeking truth. As a result from the NDE, I had Déjà Vus daily for months and yes they got my attention and wondered what does it mean. I also have Déjà Vus in dreams and those are VERY interesting because I will dream the same dream again within the dream and once had it happen 3 times within the same dream, so much that I knew where the loop was. I was driving in a car and at this one particular spot it began to repeat itself and the third time I saw a crack in the road that I was approaching and drove through it and it transported me into another existence riding in an open vechile with a male driver on a desert road feeling the wind blowing through my hair.

Richard Latham's Gravatar Janet, thanks for sharing this wonderful experience. You are not alone in suggesting that a Deja Vu is somehow related to a gateway into different existences. I find your story inspirational in that it touches on the very mysteries of our existence.
Thanks again Richard

Jackie's Gravatar Several years ago I was walking towards our Community Center when I seemed to be transported to the same place but much earlier in my life. I was experiencing exactly the same smells, sounds, and feelings I had had years and years before. I also had a complete sense of peace and well-being. I don't know how long this lasted - whether it was seconds or minutes. It was like a dream, but I was wide awake. I seemed to gradually "wake up" as I entered the large doors into the building. I have never forgotten the feelings I had at that time. I cannot explain the experience other than "deja vue".

Peter's Gravatar hi all,
I had some dreams like jackie that turned into reallity. and in this situations my body and energy was very strong and i was in peace and inner harmonie. everything around was strang but also so well known and it was for my brain to understand what was happening. I love to make meditations and fly in a other world of peace and happiness and take that emotions with in my real life. in a time of life i feel very stressed and not comftable then I never have a "deja vue" but when everything is flowing it happens and that is for me a sign of "i am on the right way".
all the best, peter

Lee's Gravatar I used to have Deja Vu a lot when I was younger (in my twenties). I had always thought that they were supposed to be the vague feeling that what had just happened to you had happened before. In other words, a feeling about two past experiences, one long past and one immediately past. My Deja Vu moments, however, would include memories of several seconds or even minutes of what was still in my future. It was never something USEFUL in the future though. I was just able to predict that someone was about to call or who was about to walk through a door. It was never anything that I could control and I haven't had a incident in about ten years. I think that it was probably some other phenomenon that just started out feeling like deja vu, but it was still really weird.

How to meditate's Gravatar It is really a mystery until now, since I am a kid I already experience this "de ja vu"... kind of creepy at first but it made be believe that it is a special gift.
