  1. Literally every time I get high I feel a case of deja vu and it scares me.

  7. Dreams you have forgotten about most likely. I have excellent dream recall and many times i remember the Deja Vu experience was a dream i had few weeks ago.

  11. Here is how I have come to understand it, in the simplest terms.

    There are two ways in which Deja Vu is known to occur:

    Your hippocampus is responsible for remembering new places and experiences for use later. The hippocampus must determine which details are pertinent and when to stop "recording" otherwise you would remember every detail all of the time and that wasn't useful to homo sapiens in nature. Once in a while the "recording function" doesn't turn off when it is supposed to and results in a feeling that you have been somewhere before. Apparently as the new memory is being formed, it is being simultaneously overwritten by itself. Some individuals have a very specific type of damage to this portion of the brain and do not have the ability to stop "recording." This is called Hyperthymesia and it is thought to be related to Deja Vu.

    The second, also involves the hippocampus making new memories. If two memories are very similar to each other, they overlap in the brain and the feeling of deja vu takes place.

    Deja vu feeling all in the brain

  13. A sudden and short concious awareness of the simulation of our entire percieved reality controlled by some more intelligent life form. Think of it like a video game lag
