<div class="IPBDescription">Deja Vu</div> Anyone know what actually brings about "Deja Vu"? I know that it's just a memory being stored improperly or something along those lines. But what actually causes that?
The reason I ask is because I've experienced it like 4 times in the last 3 days.

I think it's just a chemical mix-up in the brain where it "forgets" for a split millisecond and then "remembers" ... think of it as a lattency spike for your brain. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Also, has anyone ever had a dream, woke up and forgot it for a while, then a couple of days later what you saw in your dream happens, and then you remember dreaming it? Confusing I know. It's like being psychic...in hindsight.
All the time your brain is doing "remembering" tasks. So, matching up stuff you're thinking about with junk tumbling around in your brain. The problem is, at the same time it's doing that matching job, it's storing stuff in memory. Deju vu is when your brain thinks it finds a connection between the present and the junk as the junk is being turned into memory, and gives you that "aha" feeling, and the "i remember this" feeling. Yeah so it's because the brain doesn't have a feature that disallows read/write access on a single file by two different applications at once.. or something. Yeah...
It's because we have a root login probably.
And like 5kyh16h91, I had the same experience.
Well, I don't know how to explain Deja Vu scientifically (which is probably what you're looking for) but I'm pretty sure that it involves some chemical changes in the brain fr a short period of time.
"What do you mean you've seen this? It's brand new." "Yeah, well I saw it on a... Rerun." "What's a rerun?" "... You'll find out, kid."

My apartment building sits above a large department store with a supermarket.
Easy access to cans of Pokka and Coke (and Sprite, sometimes it's just the sugar I crave)
Note: Pokka is a brand of coffee for those who dont know - <a href='http://www.pokka.co.jp' target='_blank'>http://www.pokka.co.jp</a>
It depends....
If you're 4 months overdue in your car payments, have a dream about a repo man taking your car from your driveway, then it happens...... It's probably just common sense.
Like when you meet a doctor after making an appointment?
2) You're utterly incapable of predicting the future.
So either your dreams are incredibly vague (I dreamed I was gonna meet a stranger with brown hair, and the next day I did OMG!), incredibly common (I had a dream I was gonna eat a ham sandwich. And I bought one for lunch! OMFGLOL!). I'd only possibly believe dreams could be 'predicting the future' is if you had a dream about an airplane engine falling through your house at night, missing your bed by two feet, smashing through the basement and uncovering an oil field underneath the Indian graveyard your house was built on, and it happened the next day.
i get it all the damn time.

Can you prove that dreams <b>can't</b> predict the future?
A majority of dreams are not remembered conciously, maybe you've seen what will happen in the future and just not remembered it conciously. Then, when something happens, your mind remembers the dream.
I don't know, but I am sure I have had it before.

Example: When i used to get home from school, Shortland Street (tv show) would be on the TV, followed by Home and Away. One day i came home from school and Home And Away was on, and i figured i was late or something, and then Shortland Street came on after. I thought "oh" and asked my Mom if they'd changed the schedule or sommat. She asked me what the hell i was on about, and i said "But shortland street was on before home and away yesterday" and she said "No. It was about 3 years ago, but they changed it".
I swear to God that i remember the shows being the other way around only the day before, and that's not the only thing either.
I actually like the feeling, it's so... strange. It makes everyday events a bit more interesting, if only for a few seconds, reading the forums for example.

3 nights ago, I had a dream. The only part I remember is that I was on my computer, looking at something. I didn't know what it was. It looked like a cel-shaded broomstick with something funky on top. Anyway, I pretty much forgot the dream, until now anyways.
Skip to today. I'm just browsing these forums, and I decide to go to the Customization forum, something I don't do often. I see a thread at the top titled [wip] Buster Sword. I like FF7, so I check it out. I go through a couple pages of the modelling, then we get to someone skinning the thing. People arguing about the color scheme. A close up view of someone's rendition of the handle on page 4, in some weird 3D viewing window.
BAM!
That picture...is the image I saw in my dream! WTH? I have no idea why I would dream about a picture of a sword model I had no reason to think about, actually I had no idea even existed until a few minutes ago, but there it is. Deja vu. And I have no explanation for it.
Unfortuneately the only way you could prove that this was actually happening, and it was not just deja vu is if you just so happened to keep a dream journal, and had the dream logged before the event you experianced. I have had deja vu that I thought felt like I had dreamed the event before a few times, I could have sworn that If I was reliving the event (not concious of this future obviously) I would have been able to quote what people were about to say before they said it. Unfortunately I have no way of proving that it wasn't deja vu.
