Epic Uber Deja Vu... Opinions?

**meta2** · 08-12-2010 01:26 AM

I was just playing modern warfare 2, and I got killed. The weird thing is, is that I think I remember the same exact thing happening before. And I also do the same thing in many other cases. Its almost like I can see a fragment of the day ahead of me. Could this be through dreams, Lucid or not? Please help, it's a really weird phenomenon, but I kinda like it, and I want an explanation.

Possible. You dream about what you do throughtout the day, so if you play modern warfare, you might dream about it, and dream that you die. A real life event that is similar can cause deja vu.

It was like almost scary, it happened in the same exact way. But how could my mind create some things that happen in my life? I am not an expert in dreams. Well, at least not yet!

Well there has been theory's that dreams foresee the future. There is even a thread on dreamviews somewhere. It happens to me a lot too and I get pretty freaked out but also amazed by it.

Think about this... you constantly, every single night, of every single day and year of your life dream of random jumbled up events (going to school nekked, falling in love with a blue alien, battling in a game, world ending). It would be rather odd if you -didn't- experience de ja vu, at least a few times from a dream experience that happened to match up to something later on. =P

I believe what eidahl said is true, like you didn't ream about the future but U happened to dream about the same thing, A bunch of events from dreams and real life piled up and eventually some of them matched. Also, dream is a reflect of your real life, if you do play MF a lot in real life, your mind get used to it then you will dream about it. This is similar to DILD, where you do do lots of RCs in real life and eventually you will dream about doing RCs and become lucid.

There is soooo much debate between whether Deja Vu is insight of the future, a dream coming forth (like ninja said)
-OR- [like i believe, and many scientists as-well]
There is a millisecond merge/split between your sensory information, and your memory.. Causing what you just saw, heard, or said to be as if it had happened before, since the information you are receiving had been "accidentally duplicated, sent, and then pulled from your memory", rather then just sending it...

I see... But I never remember dreaming about how I got killed in Modern Warfare 2, I don't think that it's ever happened. I just don't see how something could be stored in my mind, but also that it could be the same exact thing that I have seen in my life. It's happened with a lot of things, like in School, Boy Scouts, certain plays that I'm in, and I don't see how I can dream up all of this almost or exactly right... I'm just looking for some long unanswered questions.

A person have at least 3 dreams every night, you sure you can remember every dream every single night? I can't even remember any of my dream lately.

This, in my opinion, is way more probable than the dream explanation.

I can normally remember 2. Yesterday, well, last night, I tried to LD, but I was too excited to fall asleep lol. But yeah, I guess I have pretty good recall.
