@ John, the same thing happened to me. Don’t know if it was intentional or a coincidence but it’s bloody annoying! lol

so who won the Alkton Towers goodies the cake or the run – although as the run was only intended it should be forfeited and as the cake could have been a ruse with a stock hoto as there was no proof of date I don’t think either of the entrants are qualifiable according to the ‘rules’ does Derren break his own rules as well as all the conventional ones>>

Deja vu might be a memory slipping from short term to long term memory or it might be a random firing of neurons in the memory.

The first neurological experiments were discovered when electrical impulses were applied to parts of the brain causing the subjects to experience a memory as it occured.

Interesting stuff

I wonder whether this flash will be detected by all brains .. I myself think that is not the case, so the experiment’s results and findings are not guaranteed proof. My brain is not normal and I at times see things and have seen things that can’t been seen by human brain according science … and there must be many like me. The standard .. which science claims there is … is not really there.

The deja vu thing is something I like ‘studying’ inside of myself sometimes … or better said .. the fact that something can become very fast something very familiar. But the opposite occurs as well … so the opposite of a deja vu … something known all of a sudden starts to look as something you’ve never seen before ..

True deja vu’s .. to me those are not about earlier existence but sooner in life .. and indeed, at times earlier existence.

My dreams at times cause deja vu’s in daily life. I sometimes mix up memories from during sleep with daily life memories. Or memories from thoughts vs really having done/living them. That’s because my dreams and my thoughts can be exactly the same as my things in daily life .. no difference … so they flow nicely into eachother ..

Again I was too hasty in replying.
No, not any psychic flashes, just the really bizarre feeling of déjà vu.

Alex, I’ve had déjà vu loads of times, and it does make you stop and think, “Weird”. The more you try to cement the feeling, the further away it gets.
I always thought déjà vu is a temporary hardware problem with the brain, and if you’re prone to it you should see a neurologist. Though I feel fine…

Apart from really wanting to use the ‘I’ve read this before’ joke, has anyone had de ja vu where they have seen what’s going to happen next as well? I have, though I’m not always right…

Hmm, I have little respect for these studies, too many variables.
How do they recreate déjà vu for the lab? Medication? Some form of NLP? Through EMF stimulation? Similar to the studies years ago looking into temporal lobe epilepsy (and how it relates to alien abduction or visions of God) pioneered by Professor Michael Persinger, and brought over to Britain by our most famous PhD’s in both psychology and parapsychology, Dr. Susan Blackmore. Worth reading up on in case anyone missed the buzz in this research back in the early to mid ’90s.
