Egg Fried Rice Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 so do you believe the future is already planned out? over the past few weeks i really think it is... Lately, i have been getting extreme deja vu and its REALLY weird, when i say extreme, i mean i can actually remember dreaming about it like the last night or a few nights ago and it goes on for a good 30 seconds. It really gets me thinking...so what do you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendrix Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Man. I get things like that. I had something when I was 6, I dreamt I was pressing a car, and I was making the most amazing music. Then the car went into bits, and I started playing it like a guitar! 11 years later, erm. Yeah - Ford Tour Then I have ones that are just remembering spots all over the place, sometimes things I'm going to see. Like, the time I drove around goodwood. I'd never driven around there before, not looked at pictures, not played a game with it, but yet I just kept feeling like I'd seen them all before. So many more I could say, but it's SO freaky!

Dr. Nick Riviera Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 I started to read The Myth of Sisyphus, in fact, I got most of the way through it. Then my bookmark fell out, and I lost my place and had to start reading it again. ahem.... it depends how much you believe in precognitive thinking. most rational explanation is that your brain is processing the same information twice. could also be synchronicity, depends what your school of thought is. synaesthesia is just as fascinating, if not more so. actually Jon, look up the chaos theory, it's a bit involved, but it might interest you. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_theory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munkee Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 without having a clue what guy above said.. deja vu is just when your tired and your brain sticks things in long term memory by accident when u see something and at the same time reads it from there making you think its happened before...the simplest explenation i have heard anyway. no idea on the extent of the truth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean without actually knowing you, I can still say with some certainty that your brain is a pretty clever and complex thing, but that doesn't mean it's perfect. For example, you can confuse your brains balancing circuits by spinning yourself around a few times. So for it to get a bit messed up when you're tired is not unthinkable. In fact the only thing different when experiencing deja vu would be a feeling of familiarity of the events unfolding before you (although that isn't what you described - where you can actually recall the last time you experienced it). Frankly i'd rather believe that your brain got a bit f**ked up and randomly involked an overwhelming feeling of familiarity, than believe my entire future is pre-decided and that I don't have the free will not to press the 'add reply' button right now...

Mark W Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 I get it really strongly, but not all that often. I had it recently at Southampton, riding a spot I'd seen before but never ridden. I was riding the exact same line I'd thought of before, and it was me, my brother, and this dude called Sam, and I knew that Sam was going to fall off at a certain point in a certain way, and as I was riding around I could clearly remember how it had happened/was going to happen, and it did. It was kinda weird, 'cos I felt like I should've said "You're going to f**k this up", but obviously that would've been weird. It wasn't even on a trick, before anyone says "But BMXing means you fall off", he was just riding along. But yeah, I've had it before. It's annoying, 'cos I don't 'believe' in supernatural shit or anything like that, so it's a little irritating that I get really powerful deja vu moments from time to time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get deja vu quite a lot as well to be honest. I can't help but just think it's really cool, alongside just being one of those little things in life that make it that touch more entertaining.

Mark W Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 Yeah, I love the period in the first few seconds where you realise what's happening and it's almost like you're sorta watching a video or something, just the way you know what's going to happen, but can't really do anything much about it.

Egg Fried Rice Posted May 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 Thank nick i'll have a look at that But surely if daje vu gets so strong that you KNOW for certain that you can tell what is going to happen, like OBM knowing his friend sam was going to fall off, isn't that a bit weird like seeing into the future? and not your brain thinking something over again.

Tomm Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 In the case of Mark's mate crashing, there's a difference between: 1) Knowing that he is about to fall off (before the event) 2) Thinking (after the event) that you knew he was going to fall. I strongly believe deja vu falls into the second category, which means that the chance that Mark would have ever been able to 'predict' the crash is nill.

Tango Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 I have had the same kinda thing as OBM know whats going to happen before it does and knowing whos going to talk and what there going to say And I am sure I once had a dream when i was in a travel lodge and sat on a bottle cap and listening to the telly. and a couple of months later it happened and I knew exatly what the person was going to say on the telly freeked my the fook out it did.

I was spooked out for ages . Craig . I had that happen about a year ago. And I said wait... and just said to them what they were about to say. My mum reckons it's only to do with being around people so much, you can guess the instances you'll be in, and what they'll say during it. But I've had it with people I don't know... so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hI-OOPS-CAPS Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 the brain is obviously good at recognising patterns. theres like hundreds of cases where i could put example. my mate says, "oh look number 69, i see that number everywhere" when infact he probably sees every other number just the same but blanks it, as he is only tickled by the number 69 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I strongly believe deja vu falls into the second category, which means that the chance that Mark would have ever been able to 'predict' the crash is nill. That was the thing, I knew how it was going to happen before it did. And not even in a "Looking back, I knew it would happen" way, I was actually riding behind him about 30 seconds before he ate shit and kinda knew what was going to happen. Saying all that, I could've thought "He's gonna craaaaaaaaaash" and he wouldn't have done, and I wouldn't have really remembered that incident. I guess we all probably think shit's gonna happen like that pretty often, but because it doesn't work out we don't remember it, but when it does we do, so we sort of make ourselves think of it as being more special than it is, 'cos if you thought he was gonna fall off 1000 times, and out of 1000 times it happens once, that's not great odds.

And not even in a "Looking back, I knew it would happen" way, I was actually riding behind him about 30 seconds before he ate shit and kinda knew what was going to happen. But my point is that you could not possibly differentiate between 1) and 2). Your memories of that day are just slightly jumbled, leading you to think that you knew, when actually you didn't. As far as I can work out, that's the only explanation unless you truly believe you can see into the future. Or I suppose that if your mind imagines enough things, one day something is bound to occur that is what you were imagining a second earlier. (But that doesn't fit with the most lucid deja vu I ever had. This was a few years ago, and a friend of mine had some of those rainbow stripey socks with individual bits for each toe. I'd never seen anything like it before, so there's no way I'd have 'imagined' it to predict her walking in and showing them to me, even though I thought knew I had seen it a second earlier.) It's a weird thing to think about though - your memories, even your memories of thoughts, are in the present and might not be totally accurate. Another way of putting it would be 'If the history books are written wrongly, does that change what happened in the past?' Of course it doesn't... The only way to prove that deja vu really exists would be to predict an event before it happens, and I've never been able to do that with a deja vu.

anzo Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 I'm sure I read somewhere that its when the processing of your brain slows down for a few moments, making you think that what you're seeing is new...when in complete reality you saw it a few micro-seconds ago - could even be related to blood pressure?

Joe_Elding Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 I was going to London with my Gf a few weeks ago and she was like ''I had a dream we were walking down kings road except all i can remember is this one guy i walked past'' walking down kings road later she stopped and looked like she was about to cry because she'd just seen the same guy she dreamt about or somethign. I've never had it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But apparently there is actually some research that shows its the most commonly used 'random' number. Once you start spotting it, its everywhere.
