The phenomenom of Deja vu...

What is this about? Why does it happen? You ever had a moment in life where the events taking place felt like it had already happened before? Almost like you dreamt it? I've been having this happen to my pretty regularly for the past 3 years so much so that I have gotten use to it. Sometimes i'll literally have a dream and later on that day it'll happen.. What is the cause? Am I becoming a prophet?

probably, you've rejected God, and now you've got the power.

All trolling aside, Akira, what do you think?

i think it's a type of mirror neuron reaction that we don't really comprehend yet. either from witnessing something similar in a dream, or literally by happenstance that cannot be identified.

That's our respawning point after we die. You know, the last place we saved our progress. Lol

I used to get very intense and extremely extended deja vu experiences on nitrous. It was the best and felt like all knowledge could be accessed. It did not persist after a nde with the nitrous. So wish I could be back to that and states of ecstasy.
As for being a prophet that's not going to work. You are human and your perceived authority will have as many or more faults than those that currently lead you.

I personally think multiple memories that have similarities to what we're seeing/experiencing or at least bits and pieces of those memories sometimes make a connection and all get recalled at once feeling like a single memory and make it seem like you've seen or experienced that before, the brain misfires or malfunctions in some way. AFAIK there's no definitive answer to what they are or why they happen, but that's what I lean towards. Not my idea either, I just remember reading something about it and it made the most sense to me even though I probably butchered the explanation of it

its a glitch in the matrix. I always have deja vu after the fact. like I'll experience something and then when when I think back on it later in the day, I'll think "that has happened to me before."

Deja vue is a synapse misfire. The information goes through your memory before going into your consciousness; therefore you think that you have actually experienced the situation. Thankfully, your brain lets you notice when you've had a deja vu; otherwise, people would get freaked out

It's like tripping. Remembering the profound experience and having been in that disassociate state that is somehow aligning.

There is no specific area of the brain for memory. Memory is a mystery because how does a neuron relay information through other neurons where to fire direction-ally? They do not know or even ask.

I believe that memory involves millions of neuron at a time. All of them are being sent information. Some of them will short circuit, some will die, some will misinterpret but I believe most will be reliable. The longer you hang on to it, the more it'll be skewed. Imagination will make up for the holes in the story automatically. Our brain cannot tolerate moments of incertainty, therefore it creates memories as it goes.

The mind does dream and tends to wonder. I surely have not solved anything.

Id believe that if brains regularly misfired when it came to other things as well. To just affect memory seems too specific. Maybe this is the matrix and deju vu is something similar to those jolts you get when you snap awake only its the experience of having a hiccup of lag in the connection.

That could definitely be the case but the brain doesn't only misfire with memory, books of optical illusions for instance might as well be called "brain failures". Our brain fails to process a ton of information or experiences correctly all the time, maybe we thought we saw something that wasn't there, heard something no one else did or didn't hear what everyone else did, there's a ton of various scenarios our brain misfires even if the majority just happen to be minor ones.

I'm not so sure it's a misfire. It may be that memory was not formed perfectly to begin. I never achieved perfect perspective so forming memory and reliving the present moment is not perfect. Although in my nitrous deja vu experiences perfection could be recalled. It was the carrot at the end of the stick and still is. But I have grown much more mentally ill and just not being anxious, sick, or constantly hungry for anything is alright.

Medial temporal lobe electrical misfire. A bad connection to parts of the brain important in registering short term attentional memory to long term memories that would normally create a sensation of familiarity.
People with temporal lobe epilepsy have de ja vu as a precursor or symptom of often small seizures associated with it. Starts with a misfire, but the electric impulse can spread to other parts of the brain as well in the circuit.

I can see that, but really it's then a matter of semantics. A person who had de ja vu from epilepsy would certainly be described a someone whom had a misfire. Though the process is similar in someone whom has a normal instance of de ja vu not followed by a seizure at any scale. You might not describe that as a misfire, because it may be part of the normal reaction for the brain and it just connected what would seem to be unconnected memories causing the weird sensation.
It's really down to where you draw lines at at that point, one could argue that even the seizure is a normal brain function for one with epilepsy and that they are not misfiring as well.

a mental misfire as others have said, nothing special about it except it feels trippy

Which part of it is aware of this feeling? More importantly how.
