Wow, thought that was just me. Usually when i'm extremely tired.

I thought it was lupus.

yeah i like them, lets me know im close to goin to sleep :thumbsup:

Not when it happens in class, even worse when you're sitting in a movable desk (rather than a lecture room seat), and worst when your desk makes a ton of clatter when you move around in it. Many times during high school I've gotten looks from everyone in my immediate vicinity when I spaz out in my seat.

Whenever I get deja vu, I try to "remember" what comes next. So far, I have failed miserably.

See any flashes before your eyes, Desmond? I think you need a constant.

Ok, but I wasn't tired nor falling asleep. I did notice my face felt warmer than usual (like a mild fever). Its back to a normal temperature.

I think they were simply implying how the brain could have a relatively 'normal' misfiring that caused the deja-vu episode. But, they don't seem to be implying any kind of connection with the falling asleep jerk response and the deja-vu feeling.

I've never had a lengthy episode of feeling deja-vu, but I have most definitely felt deja-vu on numerous occasions for a few seconds, or the feeling is kind of back in my mind for the duration for whatever it is I'm doing but not pronounced and creepy.

It's always kind of weird though, and I can never tell if its true deja-vu or false memory. Because it's weird, as I have a very pronounced photographic memory, so when I'm doing something, my mind will basically be looking at what is happening 'right now', and at what my eyes saw at some other point in time. It's mostly how I navigate, and I just tend to focus greatly on the visual aspect of my memory and really enjoy the ability to recall imagery in my head, so that might naturally lend to my deja-vu moments.

Deja Vu has a simple explanation. All peopple do have dormant and latent mental abilities including the ability to predict the future. You see time is a construct invented by man to function in a society, but before society there was no such thing as the past or the future and early man saw it all occurring as one moment. Over the years, we have called the ability to see all time as instinct, luck, or deja vu as it rears its head every once in a blue moon. Our abilities have become unused and dormant after millennium of non-use and can no longer be consciously controlled.

That's also why time travel is impossible, because time doesn't actually exist.

OP. In your case, I would bet that you dreamed the scenario as your subconscious was "predicting the future" (i don't like that term, because there is no such thing as the future or the past) and your conscious forgot about that dream once you woke. When this events occurred again (again, don't like this phrasing as it implies that it is all separate) something inside you told you this was familiar and you had deja vu.

I mean I've deja vu's in the past that last a couple of minutes at the most. This one lasted almost an hour.
