Ok here it goes...For the past couple of weeks I've been having strange feelings. I comes on fast for no apparant reason and it is kinda like deja vu, but it is NOT deja vu at all. It seems like I am seeing something that I have dreamt about but that I don't remember having dreamt. After the feeling passes which is a minute or less, I can't remember what I saw or was thinking about. When the feeling comes on I can't move or think or speak, and it makes me feel sick, like nausea. What's even more strange is I discussed this with my mom, and the same thing has been happening to her for a couple of years. Over the past few years I have always thought that I had some kind of premonition ability or something and I have experienced deja vu A LOT. I'm not sure what the connection is, but I really want to know why this is happening to me, what it is, and why. Any help is appreciated.

Maybe you have dreamed about it. Maybe you are having future dreams and it is just below your consciousness.

Different people have different amounts of Deja Voo. Sometimes people have it very rarely, sometimes people have it very frequently or on and off. I have Deja Voo A LOT, and sometimes (just the other day in fact) I had something just like what you are describing, that happens to me a lot as well.

Read this story and tell me if this is like what you feel:
I was chatting on MSN with a friend, when all of a sudden I got a feeling like deja voo, but it felt like It happened in a dream that I did not recall. My mom walked out of the bathroom (close to the PC) and said something, again, this triggered that same very strange dreamy feeling, like I had dreamt of this completely useless time. It went on like this for several minutes, and I really couldn't do anything, I just kept typing like nothing was happening, but I knew, I felt, that something was.

Does this sound like what happens to you? I am interested.
You could have gotten it from your mom, I don't know how. As far as I know, I am the only one in my family with very frequent Deja Voo and feelings like this.

I can't say that I have experienced what you are describing here, skysmom18. It sounds very strange. Almost like a mental fugue of sorts.

I used to think that deja vu was significant, but I now believe it to be nothing more than (pardon the crudity) a mental fart. The brain sometimes trips up on itself. When I have had premonitions, then I question them & study them, but afterwards they don't seem as real as the moment they occur.

Maybe what you're experiencing is not deja vu but something else.

Raven, it's "deja vu", not "deja voo"
"Deja vu" translates from French directly out to "Already seen"

I experience prophetic dreams sometimes, but they are about mundane everyday things.

Raven:
That is almost exactly what I have been experiencing...is this the only time that its happened to you? Do you know of anyone else having an experience like this??? Do you have any gifts like premonitions or precognitive dreams or such????

I've already posted this part in the Reincarnation topic, but I'd thought I'd post it here as well. I believe Deja Vu is something more than a "metal fart". Although I love the term.

For instance, when I was in high school, a few friends of mine were walking home from school. I'll give names, for they're important to the story. Porsha, Shane, Cammile.

As we were walking home a school bus passed by us and I stopped walking and said "Deja Vu". My friends asked what was wrong and I explained, "Shane's gonna say something stupid and have Porsha get mad and walk the other way home without us. And Cammile is gonna be picked up by someone in a white car." When I saw this, it was back in the old days. Like way back when, you know?

My friends just nodded and we continued to walk home. Cammile proceeded to tell me that, that couldn't happen cause her mom and dad were at work, and they neither drove a white car.

So whatever, we were walking and Shane did indeed say something stupid, causing Porsha to walk away, angry, the other way home.

So we continued walking and a few blocks away from Cammile's house she turned to me and said, "I'll bet you five dollars that it still doesn't happen."

So we did, and as we came closer to her house, her brother, came and picked her up in her new white car. I won five bucks.

The thing about it is....Deja Vu is a feeling that you get when you are doing something you've done previously wether it be in a past life, a dream or whatever...but what you're describing FOX is a premonition, knowing what is going to happen before it happens. I do believe there is a difference. But the ultimate point is, these feelings that I've been experiencing are not Deja Vu at all. The only reason that I compared them to Deja Vu is that it is the only realitively similar feeling I have ever experienced to the ones that I have had recently.

It felt as though I've done it before as well. I'm still trying to understand what happened t'till this day.

Hi Skysmom

I used to experience a sensation extremely similar to the one you'd described. It used to happen to me at completely random times and just took me out of the situation I was in. It would come on like a 'strange' feeling and I would begin to think about wierd, bizarre unrelated stuff that all seemed to make complete sense like things do in dreams and then make no sense whatsoever when your awake.

The sensation was so overwhealming and made me feel so strange that it would make me feel sick also. I remember once being out with some mates around my local shops, this bizzare feeling coming on and me throwing up all down the window of Woolworths, people around were asking if I was alright and I was too embarased to tell them what had really happened.

I was about 14 when these sensations started and I just tried to stop it as it came on as it was too much. I eventually learned to control the overwhealming physical sensations and then began to understand the thoughts better, which I believe now are a direct link into the part of my consciousness that creates dreams and holds my intuition.

That is EXACTLY what I have been experiencing...Im so glad to know that Im not the only one in the world!! Do you still get these feelings?? How do you control it? Do you ever make any sense of what you think about or see or whatever it is that happens (I dont know how to explain it exactly)...Lately when it happens to me, I have been trying to concentrate on the things I see and make sense of it, but after it goes away, I try to remember what it was and I cant.
Thanks for letting me know Im not alone on this...and I cant wait to hear from you again.

When I read your first post, I too thought, Ahhh.. I'm not the only one who has had these experiences. I didn't really talk about it much at first as I thought people would think I was crazy or unwell. When I first started having these sensations it scared me as it was too much to take in, I thought there was something wrong with me, like a brain tumor or something - Worst case scenario I know, but the feelings were SO strange and the physical sickness just made me think the worst.

As I said before, I just used to try and stop the sensation taking hold, I would desperately try and think of something else or try and 'ride it out' and after a while the feelings gradually became more controlable, the physical stuff was not as intense and I began to be able to gain a bit more insight into what it might be.

After I learned not to freak out I started to recognize that the stuff that I was thinking and seeing was very similar to the fabric of dreams - seemingly random, unrelated and abstract thoughts, strange images, feelings and emotions that seem to make complete sense when your dreaming and then make no sense at all when you try and analyse it when you're awake. The bizare feeling that accompanied these sensations was still there but I gradually learned to quite enjoy it and explore it further.

It has probably been about 16 years since I first had these sensations and I look back on it now as an initial opening up of my consciousness into a much wider understanding of things like subconscious and unconscious thought processes, intuition and to an extent telepathy - almost like recieving some strange abstract message that needs dechiphering. I do still now experience premonition, pregonition and a general 'knowing' about things. I have learned to trust my intuition and these 'gut feelings', however bizare they might seem at the time.

I suspect that you find it quite frustrating not being able to 'grasp' what it is all about at the time and then it kind of 'slipping away' when you try and make sense of it all - I know I did. I guess there is a certain amount of subjectivity involved, peoples' metaphors and understanding of the comos differs slightly from one person to the next and my understanding of this phenomenon may not be exactly the same as yours - although it sounds VERY similar.

I don't think that it is anything to be unduly worried about. The rational world around us tells us that this kind of stuff is abnormal and in some peoples' cases it is even medicated away. But I saw it (eventually) as a gift, a portal into another way of interpreting and understanding myself and my relation to the cosmos. Our minds are amazing, creative tools that aren't fully understood by science. I would encourage you to explore your feelings further and look for evidence of it happing elsewhere, in other people, in art, music, Shamanism, psycedelic experience, whatever 'feels' right for you. It's good that you can speak to your mum about it too, it will help you to make better sense of it if you talk about it. I only realised that after a few years!

If the sensations become too overwhealming, I would suggest you practice some meditation and yoga, breathing techniques will help you calm your mind and get some clarity of thought.

I hope this helps. I'm sure that you will begin to appreciate your new found understanding in time. All the best.

Wow these sounds interesting. Sudden surge of subconsciousness in daytime. Sounds like the subconscious mind dont register time and thus the deja vu resemblance. What interest me is that skysmom18's mom has similar experience, possibly pointing to that similar brain structure heredity or do you live in an area having influential effects to your brains (e.g.under cables).

I can't speak for Skysmom, but I do not live anywhere near any major electric cables / pylons etc. I live in a very rural area and as far as I know I don't think that there are any environmental factors in my area that would cause these sensations.

I'm not freakin nuts!!!!!! (well at least not about this!) I'm so glad you wrote this post, skysmom18! That has been happening to me all my life!

It was weird, it usually happens with everyday situations. It happened really horribly at work one day. I actually almost fainted, my best friend who works with me, and is as much into paraphycology as I am, was there to catch me. She asked me what happened, and all I could say was, Deja Vu. Although, I can swear I've experianced Deja Vu before (that has a pun in it I guess), and this was just different. She said she had never seen Deja Vu effect a person like that. But I couldn't explain the feeling to her. It was just, overwelming.

It seemed to me that everything was happening in slow motion, and I could see the dream I had in my mind, but I was looking the scene as well. It was all so strange.

Thanks again for posting this, I can't offer any help in its explanation, I'm sorry. Just to let you know that you're not the only one out there!

ok, now im freaked out. ive been experiencing that same thing for most of my life.(im 14). i thought it was just me because i asked my dad and mom and they both told me that i was just dreaming. i thought there was something wrong with me.......

once i was at school and my teacher asked me a question. all of a sudden, i felt like id been there before and had done the very same thing. i got a wave of nausia and almost fell over in my chair. the feeling lasted about 1 whole minute. i kept on interacting with the things and people around me, but it was as if i was......how do you say it........not in control of what i did. it was very wierd

I know how you guys feel, I get it all the time, at least 2-3 times a week. Its like I get a strange feeling that this has happened before and when I try to recall it, I cant. Now im so used to it I can kinda predict whats going to happen a few seconds from when I have it. How often do you guys get it?

Hey guys, it is so relieving to know that I am not alone on this. It happens to me probably once every couple of weeks or so. I agree with what you guys were saying

Raven-
What do you mean by this?
