Thread: Flashbacks?

This is something that has been happening to me for awhile and I can't see to figure out what it is. I will sometimes be doing something and then I get da javo and it feels like I've done it before or have already lived it kinda. I rode the bus one day and was chewing on my finger nail and saw a car with a bunch of sickers on it and all of a sudden I get a feeling like I've seen that car at the same time of me being on the bus while chewing my finger nail. Today it happened three times and it usually doesn't have more than once every two weeks or less. I was in lang. arts and this kid behind me called me something while I was looking at the word cotton. Again it felt like I lived it already. Like it already happenend to me. I don't really know how to explain it.

I was wondering if you have the same experiences.

Do some of your lucid dreams come true?

Also I've been trying to have a lucid dream for about 3 months now have a dream journal, remember my dreams, and have been RC's. Anything that I could do other than just wait.

Durning my first lucid dream I was trying to astral project so I was trying not to concertrate on things and so everytime I realized that I was in a dream I would wake up. Then one time I just stayed in the dream and knew that I was dreaming. It could have lasted longer but I got scared because a white glove was tapping me on the head and made myself wake up. I have tried to do this over and over again but it isn't working.


Sorry for this being so long but I'm just making it longer . . . Carley

Hello IamRadical.

I have the dé‧jà vu experience a lot too. Not as often as you do. It sometimes is as if I am almost catching up with time and can almost tell what is going to happen next.
There are a bunch of topics already in this Forum covering the experience of dé‧jà vu.

My personal opinion is that our brain store so much information form previous experiences that relative information form past experiences interacts with that of your daily life. Hence giving you the illusion of having previously experienced something actually being encountered for the first time. But in reality you have experienced an encounter very similar before.

Good work on the LD! By your question of wether LDs come true, Im assuming your a believer in Precognition/Premonitions? You might be interested in two of the dreams located in my Dream Journal if that is the case.

As for the De Ja Vu, I've had MAJOR De Ja Vu situations, and they're becomming a lot more apparent and common lately. Sometimes I actually get a major headache right after. And as hard as this may be to believe, I've actually had one that has lasted about a full minute.

I don't think it's something from past events. I've never watch a movie in science and heard something at the same time. I've never seen that video before. I've never read that book and heard that word. It's really weird and creeps me out.

So did this start to happen before you started to know what was going to happen next?

The way you described it is exactly the same way I experience deja-vu myself. As if that exact same event, in that exact same place, setting and time with the exact same circumstances already happened and are happening again (though obviously not repeatedly since it's the exact same time, place, etc.).
It's gotten me to thinking that the theory of deja-vu being dream recall of parts of forgotten dreams is quite plasuable but I guess there's not much we can do to research it. It remains a curious event.

do you think if we remembered our dreams 100% we would be able to tell the future?

not nessasserily. Like it says in the Book, Danial and Josheph could interpret dreams, and the dreamers themselves couldn't. Its a gift, not a phanomanon.

No more than 1 or 2% of all people interested in dreams, I'd think. 100% dream recall would take an extremely high amount of practice and time with effort in it. After all, 100% dream recall would mean recalling every single dream of every night (some people have reported having over 10 dreams per night) and remembering every detail from them. Not the simplest of things to achieve.

has this da javo occured when you thought something similar to it would happen.
