My most recent deja vu experience...

I'm here, thousands of miles away from Bangalore. I came here on work for a month. I later met four more people from my office. I had not seen anyone before. Anyway, we all got along well and we used to visit places in Seoul together on weekends. One particular evening after returning back from some sight seeing, we were calculating that day's spending. I suddenly felt I had been through this moment already. I exactly knew I had seen the same situation few months before. I knew these 4 people, their positions, the discussion ... and the room... everything! But to my surprise I had met these people only after I landed in Seoul. How could I have dreamt about people I didn't know or the room that I had never been to?

Previously I have had dejavus but they were mostly of the people I knew. Once me and my close friend were chatting in my bedroom and I instantly realized this was a dejavu. I knew this had happend before. I knew the dress my friend was wearing, the way she was seated, the words she was about to speak! But I didnt realize all this until it actually happend!

One other experience of my friend was when we were lost in a deep forest near Kollur. 14 of us were trekking and we got lost after about 7 hrs of trekking. One of my close friends came and told me she had seen this situaltion before. There was a small clearing in the forest with a lonely leafless tree staring high into the blue sky. She said she very well remembers this tree and the situation that we were in!

Weird power of Dejavu... lets you see your future.. but you cant remember it till you are in that future!

Well, you know something? Most of the times, if you look at it carefully, there is some reason behind this which many of us dont catch, and assume it is some kind of Deja Vu. I have had these kinds of incidents, but if I look back, I always come to the conclusion that my mind had played a trick on me - it is easy to imagine you had thought of this before, but most of the times we can't actually pin point the time, location and chain of events when we had this dream.I think our brain puts this incident in the past to complete some other chain of events, to bring coherency to some other train of thoughts - and we feel "Oooh, I had seen the future!!!".

Even I was thinking the same Ananda, until I remebered that I had imagined/dreamt abt the seoul experience at Blore much before I myself knew that I was going to Seoul :) Hope someday I can make much more sense of why dejavu happens.

Vinut.. Laks realised that only after seeing that tree :)
