Lucid dreams and Deja Vu

[WildOne]

Ok. I guess I will make this explanation short. Im a born lucid dreamer. Even as a young kid I was aware in many dreams,and often remembered them vivdly. I even experimented briefly in trying to control them,which had strange results...but thats another story. I'm turning 25 this week, and I have no more of a REAL understanding about my abilities than I did as a kid,even though I am more interested now than I was then. I had a WILD a few days ago,I was a little tired,I was at my parents house,in the pool. NOT being active,just put my head on my hand,and drifted. Drifted outside being awake,yet I was still aware of my surroundings. Had colors,and started to LD. Sorta short lived though,with barking dogs,and neighbors stopping by,but I managed to hold it for a bit. Anyways,the idea I am trying to get across,is that these things seem to happen naturally for me,along with other things,one of which,being Deja Vu. Up until this point,I have been willing to call it DEJA Vu,but now I am starting to wonder. You know when you had a dream,but you werent aware of what it was about,until somthing happened to remind you of it? Thats the way I have felt about my Deja Vu... I dont know WHEN it happened,but somthing brought me the realization....only lately,I DO remember it happening. About a month ago,while doing WILD,I had a picture of being in a tent....laying down,looking up....only at that time,I didnt know what it was I was seeing. A few days ago, I went camping...no thoughts about that,until I was laying down,in the tent,looking up....and it hit me that I had seen it before. Not only that,but I remember my THOUGHTS. It went beyond what I would call my "normal" deja vu....to somthing else. You have to understand....a month ago,camping wasnt even a thought. It was somthing my parents suggested to me and my GF,only a week and a half ago or so...So there is no way I just envisioned somthing I KNEW was going to happen... Also,I am in no way a BELIEVER in psychic phenominon...Im open to the idea, but I like to think in terms of things that are REAL,and unquestionable. This,and other things,has me a bit shaken up...its one thing to HEAR about someone else say it happened...but for it to happen to you....its freaky. I have always had weird things happen,like knowing things,before they happen,but i usually explain them away to coincidences or whatnot... Anyways...I am wondering if Lucidity in dreams,and WILD are possibly related to Deja Vu... Or maybe other things? or maybe I am just a weirdo....At this point,I dont know. Any criticism is welcomed though.

Hi and welcome to the forum! I am by no means an expert at WILD, but since you haven't had any other replies, I figured I'd give it a go. I know what you mean about the deju vu experience. I've also had some pretty strange feelings and experiences with it as well. I always record these in my dream journal because it's hard to recall the details later. I've never successfully WILDed, all my experiences seem to be as results of DILDs, but everyone is different. So I can't say if there is a connection between the deja vu experience and WILDing. There are tons of threads on the topic of deja vu - try doing a search and see what you come up with - I'm sure you'll find something helpful.

Anyways...I am wondering if Lucidity in dreams,and WILD are possibly related to Deja Vu... Or maybe other things? or maybe I am just a weirdo....At this point,I dont know. * [/b] If you think you're a weirdo, read my introduction in the newbie zone, you won't feel so bad. I believe Deja Vue is related to dreams. You may have experience the reality previously in a dream. Definitively not a Lucid Dream where you were able to affect your environment but a life emulating puppet dream where you had no choice but to go with the flow. If you were lucid enough in the dream for your mind to consciously record it, you may be able to know in advance what's going to happen. The dog's going to bark, ext. If you were not lucid enough then your deja vue will be more delayed. A feeling that what just happened was a deja vue as opposed to a feeling of what's coming next. Anyone who’d try to dismiss the phenomenon would not do you a favour. Let them figure it out for themselves. This phenomenon saved my life once. As a child I had them frequently. I stopped having them and totally forgot about them. I later thought the concept was totally ridiculous and frowned upon people who’d believe such a thing; I mean if science can’t prove it then it must not be. Well, when I started having them again and remembered having them growing up, I could not deny them. It’s a touchy subject especially if your around science zealots or religious zealots. You get spit on by both groups for different reasons.
