Hey ya'll !!!

Well, I have been wondering what the heck De ja vu is, and why we have it. I just want to hear other people's opinions on it.

Personally, when I have that fleeting moment of; this has all happened before, I know why. It's because I have dreamt it before in lucid dreaming (? that is a new term that I have just learned here, I think I used it right).

Sometimes I can even remember when I had the original dream but most of the time, I just know that I dreamt it a time before...

For example; When I was married living in Austin, Tx. in 2000, I had a dream that I was sitting at a big table looking around at an odd assortment of people. A huge, obese guy, with greasy hair and huge glasses, a tall skinny bald, black guy, a really old man, who looked kinda like a troll with white hair, and a chunky black lady with some real crazy fake hair. They were all wearing ugly grey polos. As I looked down at myself in the dream I realized that I was wearing the same ugly shirt! I thought to myself; "EWW! Theres no way I'd EVER be around a group of people like that, wearing something as ugly as that!" and I woke up. I quickly forgot the dream, passing it off as just your usual make no sense dreams...

Well, about a year ago when I was sitting down at work, to sign in at shift change, somebody said something funny, and as I looked up and laughed I had De ja vu. I looked around and knew who was gonna be around me, only this time, I knew those "ugly, weird" people's names, and I had already been working with them for 4 years, and they are all my friends! I then realized why I felt like I had been there before was because I had dreamt it before. I could even remember that I had dreamt it in Texas almost 5 years earlier! It turns out the ugly shirts we were wearing are part of our uniforms because I am a EMT (emergency medical technician). I had already been living in Louisiana 4 yr.s, divorced, and signed in at that squad table countless times before, and had never had De ja vu or remembered that dream...I waited when that moment happened for something significant or bad to happen, thinking maybe I had that dream for a specific reason and maybe I needed to run or something. But nothing happened. It was just a random moment in time that I had previosly dreamed...

Why do u think??? What is the point of stuff like that?? Should u document it or something or just ignore it??

I have about 8 other specific "de ja vu" occurences like that that I know I had dreamt before, but I cant remember how long before or exactly when. Usually it's a good bit of time earlier, like a year.

During that same time that I lived in Texas I also had a very vivid "lucid" dream. This time I was in a city around high rise buildings and I looked up and saw a man way up about to jump off the building. I ran closer, as if I was gonna catch him or something, and started yelling to others to help me and to call their city EMS and fire department. Then I realized that the man was gonna jump and there was nothing I could do to catch him. I was absolutely horrified as he was falling. I could see his tie flapping in the wind, and horrorfied look his face, and the tear streaked dirty face. I watched him fall and cried too while waiting for him to hit the impact. I was thinking about how there really wouldnt be anything left of him once he hit, and how I didnt want to see it. Then, before he hit the ground, I looked up and saw a lady about to jump also. I woke up then thinking, "What the hell kind of dream was that?? Why would I dream of people jumping off a high rise? Maybe thats gonna happen to me when I am working as a Paramedic oneday, but I have never even seen a high rise like that, and never will work in a big city!" I was bothered by the dream and even told my husband. He just thought I was nuts and could have cared less.
Well, on 9/11/01, I had slept in a little because my son was sick. I woke up and turned on the TV as I layed in bed. Right when I turned it on, the towers had already been hit, and they were showing people clinging on the side. I had no idea right then what had happened. But at that moment the camera zoomed in and a man jumped. He was the exact man I had seen in my dreams! The tie was even flapping the same way I remembered. Right then my heart just broke and I started balling. Before you saw the man go all the way to the ground the camera looked back up and there was that lady in the purple-ish color about to jump....

I have even more stuff like that, but this one question I asked is turning into a dang book!

So, please ya'll, tell me what you personally believe De ja vu is and/or why we have it???
