Have you seen or experienced something you cant explain? I've heard too many things from people who are reasonable which I can explain but sometimes I'm not so sure. The only thing I cant explain in my life is the consistent deja vu's which I get in my dreams. But other than that nothing else. I was just wondering if any of you had some interesting experience which you couldnt explain.

CD.

i never understood deja vu's

people always tell me "I just had a deja vu, you were sitting right there and said the exact same thing one time" .. I never got that feeling in my life or understand wtf they are talking about

Heard the sound of unsettled horses in my grandma's house, that used to be a place for horses to get shoes fitted. I don't really care one way or another if it was just a trick in my head.

de ja vu can be explained...although i'm not gonna go into detail, de ja vu is an experience where whatever experience that just occured instantly goes into your long term memory, therefor confusing you in that way as if you had done it before...in a simple sort of way

relaying it in your dreams is in your mind

I've also had lots of deja vu experiences. Sometimes the day after I have the dream and othertimes several years later. It's pretty strange... And the thing is that I remember the dream before the deja vu happens. I'll mention how I had a really boring dream about sitting in a classroom in a certain seat. Then the next day I'll have my seat changed.

to further some info, and an interesting fact, the people in your dreams never have a face, although you feel you can name the person...they do not have a face

no, you just think you dreamt about it, therefore it is placed in your long term memory, i was the same as you, and have had this explained to me

When I was in third grade I had an uncle in Florida that was killed by a drunk driver. My uncle worked at a Pepsi bottling plant.

When my parents drove down to pick up his belongings (he was single with no kids) two of the items they brought back were a crystal vase and a golden Pepsi commemorating some big year anniversary. The can was unopened and full.

My mother put the vase on a shelf in a china hutch and the can of pepsi above it.

3 years to the date of my uncles death my mother and I were in the kitchen talking when my Mom got this weird look and walked over to the china hutch.

In it she found that the vase was full of a dark brown cola looking fluid. She smelled it and it smelled like a cola. She grabbed the Pepsi can on the shelf above and it was empty. No holes, no nothing to allow the fluid out of it.

Freaked the holy crap out of us. To this day we still have no viable explanation for it.

I can give you the deja vu explanation, but has anybody experienced anything else, like say hypnosis, telekinesis, ghosts etc..... Because there can only be two explanations for all the numerous websites around about these things; either that people are just crazy, looking for quick buck, attention whores or stuff like this actually happens.

i have seen people with faces in my dreams

You only think they have faces, they really dont, even if there is an image there.

EDIT:
Think really hard...although if you have to do that, then you are only trying to convince yourself
I think any logical person would agree that once they thought about it, there was really no face, but you feel you could name the person or place that image onto someone you met

Once I was home alone, and left an uneaten hot dog on the dinner table covered with a napkin. I went out for a couple hours and came back, and someone had taken a bite out of each end. Everyone in my family denied eating it, and they all thought I was crazy :confused:

What about looking at yourself in a mirror in a dream. I did this once, and I looked really different. My hair was in a really wierd way that I never have it, and my face only slightly resembled myself.

I'm not going to read this at 1am when I'm about to go to bed in this house alone, but I just wanted to agree with you on the deja vu thing. Happens to me all the time.

there isnt a face, i know this is gonna sound retarded, but next time you have a dream, try to look at a face and pay attention

You can have an affect in your dreams, and you can try to do certain things like remember faces, although your control is somewhat minimal...it is possible

When I was a little kid I woke up from branches hitting my windows one really windy night to see a....."something" (best description is the standard big-eyed, small-mouthed alien face) staring right at me. It was probably a dream, or branches and shadows or something like that playing a trick on my mind.....but it FUH-REAKED me out.
