Still Waters Posted January 20, 2015 #1 Share Posted January 20, 2015 A student was forced to drop out of university after a bizarre case of chronic deja vu left him unable to lead a normal life. The 23-year-old even stopped watching TV, listening to the radio, or reading newspapers or magazines because he believed he had seen it all before. He told doctors that he was "trapped in a time loop" and said he felt as if he was reliving the past moment by moment. http://www.telegraph...or-8-years.html 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much explains it to me... . dunno how Taun, apart from the quote you quoted, there was no other mention with regards to frequency of use, amount taken, number of uses. besides, it doesn't give you a sense of deja vu- on the contrary, it makes everything seem absolutely brand-new! .

libstaK Posted January 20, 2015 #4 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Why did he drop out? If he's done it all before he should have gone ahead and got top marks. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theotherguy Posted January 20, 2015 #6 Share Posted January 20, 2015 He's a time traveler from four seconds in the future. But seriously, and more compassionately, I wonder if he ever had a concussion or neurological disease that would affect his memory formation. Surprisingly he does not have a neurological condition that would cause this . How about something less chronic, I should specify. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seaturtlehorsesnake Posted January 21, 2015 #7 Share Posted January 21, 2015 if nothing else, it's a reminder of how shaky perception can be, and how it can get pretty easily messed up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seriously, and more compassionately, I wonder if he ever had a concussion or neurological disease that would affect his memory formation. How about something less chronic, I should specify. I have seen people claim that they were "misplaced in time" -- however, they were unable to predict accurately what was going to happen a short time in the future. Or even a long time in the future. When challenged on this, they said they had fallen into the wrong time stream. However, the diagnosis of "induced by anxiety" is more than reasonable. It sounds as if the poor chap has a number of psychological problems. Edited January 21, 2015 by Kenemet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you read it, which book was that, this is quite interesting to me. If firsthand, do you mind sharing a few incidents you may have witnessed?

I've seen people on message boards claiming this (it's not uncommon.) If you engage in some general chit-chat with them, it's obvious they have no true foreknowledge (ask them "what do you think is going to happen" and watch just how often they're wrong, while maintaining they suffer from deja vu.)

Imaginarynumber1 Posted January 21, 2015 #11 Share Posted January 21, 2015 . dunno how Taun, apart from the quote you quoted, there was no other mention of LSD, with regards to frequency of use, amount taken, number of uses. besides, LSD doesn't give you a sense of deja vu- on the contrary, it makes everything seem absolutely brand-new! . (ahem.., so i've been told.....) . Not true. I was once convinced I was seeing an hour or so into the future. I would get images of a scene and then that scene would come to be. In my shattered recollection of the events, however, I cannot be sure if what I was seeing had or had yet to happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SolarPlexus Posted January 22, 2015 #17 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Sounds like he bitten more than he could chew? Could be another 6 months before he starts feeling normal again LSD,DMT,Ibogaine are mind-expanding, but tackle them with extreme care ! Knowledge is dangerous!

LucidElement Posted January 22, 2015 #25 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Wow.. im a BELIVER in a LOT of stuff but this article is a bit far fetched... I've never bashed on anything, nor have I questioned anything. However.. If this guy was for real, why wouldnt you disclose your name? I mean, your making history... also this line right here... "Doctors are baffled because the man does not suffer from any of the neurological conditions usually seen in people who normally suffer frequently from déjà vu" The doctors are BAFFLED because the man does not suffer from deja vu symptoms? Deja Vu happens within a split second. NO ONE is getting rushed into the doctors office for a serious case of DEJA VU. lol.. but who knows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
