I've just joined this group and have been reading alot of the posts on this site, Actually my fiance has been addicted to this site for about a week or so now, and it's all he's been talking about haha. So i figured might as well join.
Anyhow, I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I figured, what the hey.
I moved from California to Louisiana to live with my fiance about a year and a half ago.
Now prior to having met him I've had a few dreams.
1) I was working at a Blockbuster but It didn't look like the block buster in the town I lived in. I actually remember telling my Mom about this dream
2) Two friends of mine were living in this house, They were standing by a bed.
3) I dreamt I worked in a strange building.
Now when I moved here, my first job was at a Blockbuster, and having worked there for a month I turned the credit card machine a certain way, and totally remembered that dream.
Then one day, after having lived in Louisiana for a bit, I turned a certain way in our bedroom, and the bedroom was teh exact same one in my dream with my two friends.
Then At my new job, we just moved into a new building, And I moved a certain way, and this building is the same one I had in my dream.
I think its crazy, because I never knew any one In Louisiana prior to living here, nor have visited and such.
Have any of you an explanation or similar experiences?
Full Version: Deja-Vu
I constantly have al kinds of deja vu, i get it really strong somedays, like a of wave of time or gravity is pulling against me. Its really strange for me, but i really do get it a lot, in places i've never been too.
I have it pretty often too. I chalk it up to the scientific explanation:
In recent years, déjà vu has been subjected to serious psychological and neurophysiological research. The most likely explanation of déjà vu is that it is not an act of "precognition" or "prophecy", but rather an anomaly of memory; it is the impression that an experience is "being recalled". This explanation is substantiated by the fact that the sense of "recollection" at the time is strong in most cases, but that the circumstances of the "previous" experience (when, where and how the earlier experience occurred) are quite uncertain. Likewise, as time passes, subjects can exhibit a strong recollection of having the "unsettling" experience of déjà vu itself, but little to no recollection of the specifics of the event(s) or circumstance(s) they were "remembering" when they had the déjà vu experience. In particular, this may result from an overlap between the neurological systems responsible for short-term memory (events which are perceived as being in the present) and those responsible for long-term memory (events which are perceived as being in the past).
Many theorists believe that the memory anomaly occurs when one's conscious mind has a slight delay in receiving perceptive input. In other words, the unconscious mind perceives current surroundings before the conscious mind does. This causes one's conscious self to perceive something that is already in one's memory, even though it was in one's memory only a split second before it was perceived.

Hey!
Oh yes, and:
Aww! Thanks for the Welcome guys!
Anyhow, maybe I had diagnosed myself. It has to be some sort of precognition. Because if Dejavu is a recollection of a place that you have been to, in my case it's a place I hadn't been to.
For Example, Take the block buster incident......When i moved that credit card machine, I could remember the exact dream I had...and the exact conversation I had with my mom about that dream.
Also, I think it may be a sort of fate....because between the time I had that dream......and the time I ended up in Louisiana, I could have taken millions of different routes.....could have went to college, could have moved somewhere......I had no clue I was going to end up In Louisiana....So now that I'm here...and having these recollections.....I dunno haha, I can't explain it.....I'm just trying to I guess.
Do I make sense?

I have Deja Vu on a daily basis, but I have a different explanation, at least for myself I do.
I was in the school court yard sitting and soaking in the spring sun. It was the first nice day of the year and I remember this as if it was yesterday.
I was looking up at the sky and all of a sudden I got really dizzy and a flood of memories of the 'future' was 'leaving' me as it seemed I was remembering the world I was actually living in. I know this doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but let me continue. It was like the movie "The Butterfly Effect" and when that movie came out I was excited as much of what was happening in that movie happened to me, so to speak. So anyways, as the memories are coming and leaving. I look down at my shoes and I said...."Oh I remember these" "I loved these shoes" "I forgot all about them". The girl next to me thought I was totally weird for saying that. As I looked around the court yard, I had forgotten where I was exactly. The more I started to remember where I was and how old I was and such, the memories of the future were leaving me, though I didn't want them to. I could only hang on to a few, and I kept them with me till they manifested again in the future. This is when I can say, my psychic abilites became more enhanced. Now, often I think that my psychic abilites are not so much that, but memories of the future as they come back to me. I can't help but think back to that day, and often wonder, if I will 'go back' again and start my life over. If this is going to happen I would surely like to find some way to help me remember the future better so I don't make the same mistakes. Now when I get that Deja Vu feeling on something, I think hard before making a firm decision if one needs to be made following the experience.
What were the memories I hung on to? That I had 3 beautiful children that needed me.

Yes.... and 2 grandkids
I wish I knew what your experience means, but I fully believe you as I have had similar experiences. Science can try to disprove deja-vu as some trick of the mind, but I think it is a very good clue that our "reality" is not accurate and there is something else going on.
