What does having deja vu symbolize?
“Déjà Vu” is a typical intuitive feeling that many of us have had. The phrase comes from the French and means “already seen.” It seems to trigger a recollection of a place we've already visited, a person we've already seen, or an act we've already performed when it happens. It's a signal to pay close attention to what's going on, perhaps to receive a specific lesson in a particular area or to finish what hasn't been completed yet.
Many explanations for déjà vu are described in my new book: a dream memory, a precognition, a fortuitous overlapping of events, or even a prior life experience in which we rekindle ancient connections. It's important that it brings us closer to the magical. It's an invitation, an opportunity to learn more about ourselves and others.
Carl Jung recounted a feeling of déjà vu when on a journey to Africa when he saw a skinny black man leaning on a spear looking down at his train as it rounded a steep precipice on its route to Nairobi. “I had the sensation that I had already been through this moment and had always known this planet,” he writes. Despite the fact that this world and this man were foreign to him, he saw everything as completely natural. He referred to this as an acknowledgment of what was “immemorially known.”
We are taught in Western culture to see anyone who isn't a member of our inner circle of friends and family as a stranger. However, there are occasions when you meet someone who make you feel as if you've known them for years. You can speak freely with them about anything, and they will listen to you. With them, you may simply laugh.
The tone of their speech and the way they drink their coffee appear to be routine. It's not because they remind you of someone else or because they have endearing features. You relate to them not as strangers, but as members of the same tribe with whom you have a common past.
Shannon, a patient of mine, knew she was going to marry her spouse the day they met. Following her divorce, she dated a lot of men, but none of them felt right. After that, she met Bob. Something about the way he smiled, the shine in his hair, the tone of his voice, and the form of his hands made her assume they'd met before. Following talking, it was evident that their paths had never crossed, yet they were inseparable after their first lunch date.
There was more than physical chemistry between Shannon and Bob when they first met. It was a natural chemistry and intimacy that generally arises over a long period of time together. They married two months after meeting and have been married for ten years.
I'm frequently asked how to distinguish between a sense of déjà vu when we first meet someone and an attraction that stems from an addicted obsession. According to some addiction specialists, when you meet someone and fireworks shoot out, it's not an indication of pure love, but rather of one neurotic meeting another. They recommend that you run in the other direction as quickly as you can.
Based on my experience working with the recovering community, I agree that addicts and some non-addicts alike have a strong desire to “fix” themselves via love and sex, rushing into relationships based only on overwhelming physical attraction. They are frequently unrelated to déjà vu, but rather come from a core emptiness that yearns to be filled. The persons involved have no actual bond; they barely know each other, and these attempts at collaboration fail tragically as the pink light of newness fades.
Is deja vu a warning?
Have you ever felt a strange sense of familiarity while visiting a new place? Or the feeling that you've already had the same talk with someone?
This feeling of familiarity is called as déjà vu (a French term that means “again”) “It's been stated that 60-80 percent of people experience it on a regular basis. It's a brief experience that happens at any time.
Even while déjà vu is well-known in popular culture, it is little understood in scientific terms. Déjà vu happens suddenly and without notice, with no physical symptoms other than the announcement: “I just had a flashback!”
Many academics believe the phenomena is a memory-based sensation, and that it is caused by the brain's memory centers.
Does deja vu mean that you are on the right path?
Well, there aren't any scientific answers per se, but in spirituality, dreams are said to represent a conduit between the spiritual and physical worlds.
Dreams contain many symbols and indications, whether they come from the soul, guardian angels, ancestors, or your higher self.
When you have a sense of deja vu, it's possible that your mind is recalling what you've already seen and seen while sleeping.
Now, from a spiritual standpoint, your dreams lining up with your reality has a lot of meaning it might be a sign that you're on the correct track in life.
However, it could also be a result of your drive and enthusiasm. Dreams are frequently a mash-up of various thoughts, memories, and things we've seen, heard, or experienced.
If you're on the correct track in life, this will very certainly manifest in your dreams as well. Even if you don't remember your desires when you wake up, they are potent.
Is déjà vu fate?
The fact that I was guided to these exact moments, no matter how tiny they may seem, paints the canvas of a larger image these insignificant moments are the prelude to an important aspect of my future self. Replayed episodes are intertwining the obscurities of future me with my present self. Déjà vu is a foreshadowing, a crystal ball that allows me to see into the hazy future through a stray recollection. Perhaps déjà vu is a revealing component, a glimpse into what fate has in store for the paths I'll take in life.
What does déjà vu mean in love?
You're sitting on the beach with your girlfriend, watching kids high on Mr. Softee and juice harass a seagull, when it occurs to you that you've seen this similar scenario before. You've already seen these two gremlins fight this identical seabird with the same blue pail, though you can't recall when or where, and the memory makes you feel uneasy. Maybe you're in a new state, or even a different nation, and you go into a wedding of a couple you've never met before and are hit with an uncanny sense of familiarity. That's déjà vu, a French term meaning “already seen,” which describes the impression of having previously lived a highly precise event you're certain you've never had before. This phenomena might make you feel weird in any situation, but when it happens to you and your romantic partner, you can wonder what it indicates for your relationship.
Why do I get déjà vu in my dreams?
Certain medicines increase the likelihood of the person experiencing déjà vu, which is a strong feeling that an event or experience currently being experienced has already occurred in the past. Some medicinal medicines have also been linked to the occurrence of déjà vu when used jointly. Taiminen and Jääskeläinen (2001) described a case of an otherwise healthy man who began feeling strong and frequent déjà vu after taking the flu medications amantadine and phenylpropanolamine combined. He was so enthralled by the experience that he completed the entire course of his treatment and reported it to the psychologists as a case study. Because of the medications' dopaminergic effects and prior findings from brain electrode stimulation (e.g. Bancaud, Brunet-Bourgin, Chauvel, & Halgren, 1994), Tamminen and Jääskeläinen suggest that déjà vu is caused by hyperdopaminergic action in the brain's medial temporal lobes.
Where did déjà vu come from?
Déjà vu is a French term that literally means “already seen.” It has numerous versions, including déjà vécu, which means “already lived,” déjà senti, which means “already thought,” and déjà visité, which means “already seen.” Emile Boirac, a French scientist who was one of the first to investigate this peculiar occurrence, named it in 1876.
There are a lot of references to déjà vu that aren't actually deja vu. Researchers have their own definitions, but in general, déjà vu is defined as the sensation of seeing or experiencing something you haven't seen or experienced before when you know you haven't. The most prevalent misapplication of the term déjà vu appears to be in the context of precognitive experiences, which occur when a person has the impression that they know exactly what will happen next and it occurs. The fact that déjà vu occurs during an event rather than before it is a key distinction. If precognitive experiences are true, they show events that will occur in the future rather than events that have already occurred. (However, one explanation about déjà vu revolves around precognitive dreams that leave us with a “déjà vu” sensation.) See the section on Déjà Vu and Precognitive Dreams for more information.)
Hallucinations caused by illness or medicines can cause heightened awareness, which might be mistaken for déjà vu. Déjà vu can sometimes be confused with false memories brought on by schizophrenia. These false memories or hallucinations can persist far longer than actual déjà vu, which normally lasts 10 to 30 seconds.
Why dont we get déjà vu?
There's another element to consider. Have you ever wondered why you don't get as much déjà vu as you used to? This is because, according to scientific evidence, you're growing a little old.
“Unfortunately, it's just a natural part of getting older, like so many other memory problems.” “You lose your ability to detect errors,” adds O'Connor.
“It's fascinating that younger people have more déjà vu older folks are typically thought to have more memory problems.” However, this occurs because younger people's brains contain more excitatory activity than older people's they're more active. They also have a well-functioning fact-checking frontal lobe.
“I got déjà vu all the time when I initially started exploring it about 20 years ago, but not so much today!”
Is it bad to have déjà vu everyday?
Most people have déjà vu without any negative health consequences. Déjà vu might be an indication of a neurological condition in rare situations. Individuals with epilepsy frequently experience focal seizures, which occur in a single part of the brain, generally the temporal lobe, where memories are stored. Temporal lobe seizures are what they're termed.
Seizures are caused by bursts of unregulated electrical activity in the brain, which cause nerve cells to misfire. Because focal seizures are brief and people are usually awake when they occur, it's difficult to recognize what's going on. A person having a focused seizure may appear to be daydreaming or staring out into the distance.
Seizures of the temporal lobe can cause a sense of déjà vu. The following are signs that you're having a temporal lobe seizure rather than an ordinary déjà vu:
Seizures of the temporal lobe impair your capacity to interact with others. The majority of them endure between 30 seconds and minutes. You can lose track of where you are or discover you've been sitting and staring off into the horizon. During the seizure, others may notice you smacking your lips or chewing and swallowing continuously.
