Pretty often, actually.

I experience it all the time when I'm tired.

I'd say once a month. Usually the déjà vu comes from a dream I had.

What I think is happening is, I think I had a dream where I really didn't, so I'm making up the dream to create the déjà vu experience. Or something.

Iono. It's still cool though.

No, it's quite irritating once in a while, especially stupid incidents.
Mostly yes, idk why;Just stop it ==

Quite frequently actually. And when it does, it's so strong I shiver. Yeah, shiver.

I get them very rarely, around 3-4 times a year.
I'd say that it's a glitch in the matrix, but in all seriousness, it's one of the most mindfuck experiences you can have, and it shows very well how you're brain has most conscious than you think you do, and this throws us all in the SELF and FREEWILL arguments.

But pretty much, it's just your brain seeing it couple milliseconds earlier and accidentally storing it as a longterm memory, which will make you believe that you had experienced it long time ago, even though the memory is only from couple ms ago.

Trippy thing is, even after you know the explanation and you get a deja-vu, no matter how hard to try to believe it, it still feels so vivid and real .

Yep

Yes, 2-3 times in a week. It's a bit annoying, but I can't do anything about that D:

This. But why brains do that 'lagging'? It is been wondering me for a while.
Mr Gaddy
Because brain is not perfect.

Basically it means your brain is slowing down.

Deja vu happens when your brain sends signals slower by a nanosecond compared to the preceding signal, so you get the feeling that this has already happened.

I only get that fucking annoying double déja vu where you think you remember remembering that you remember doing or seeing something before. I hate that.

Yeah. Isn't the human mind amazing? O_o

If you busted your friend lying to you more than ~10 times, you'd never really trust him ever again. Now consider your brain, lying to you dozens of times a day (that's actually how many times you NOTICE it lie to you). How can you all keep on trusting it like this.

In reality, every single time that you take a decision, or get the feeling that you had a choice, or the feeling that YOU exist as a being, you're being lied to by your brain. In fact, the whole sensation of freewill and the self is just an illusion that happened to be evolutionary advantageous.

Your brain is just coming up with "excuses" to answer every single thing you do. For example, when you get up to get a sweater, you're brain come up with "I was cold. I went to get my sweater", when in fact, your body went to get a sweater, and you came up with that explanation to make sense of what you just did, because none of us wants to be a crazy bastard who does stuff for no reason. And your brain actually makes you believe this so deeply that you are absolutely certain that it's real.

Ph0X, I know all that.

My brain is slowing down. I don't need déjà vu as evidence; I see the deterioration all the time.

I'm fine with my brain lying. I'm fine with getting false information off Google. I'm fine with my computer making a mistake in a calculation. I'm fine with my teacher making an error when teaching something.

It's life. Deal with it.

You're fine with BSODs?

Besides, it's only your shell failing.

The ghost driving the machine is still perfectly fine.

Implying there is a ghost driving the machine.

Something has to fire the neurons.

Reflex only does the absolutely crucial things.

Is there a ghost running computers? (Well, while you're not touching it).
Ephemeral
A computer isn't exactly sentient and sapient now is it?
Ph0X
What about a tree? Is it sentient and sapient?
Do you think humans would still be cutting them down if they would scream in pain every time we cut them?
Who knows, maybe they feel as much pain as we do, but they just can't express it, since they haven't evolved that yet.

Finally, where did you think we got those two from? Did they just pop out of nowhere or did we progressively evolve to have them?
Because if it was progressive, nothing stops computers from having them too some day.
Ephemeral
Probably.

If there's a ghost driving this machine, there's every possibility that there's a ghost driving everything else that is also living.

An exorcism on the world should totally be done.

Well then, it would just become a simple play on words. You can call it whatever you want, but it's the same thing every machine and system has. But then again, you can corrolate this back to simpler systems, all the way back to a rock or a single atom/particle, and say that it has a ghost driving it.

I used to have ideas like, this is just one dream in a chain of dreams vaguely related to each other.

A dreamer isn't required to have a dream. We just grab them when we sleep.

Yo dawg...

Hard to explain. =X

Understood. Yeah, when I have a Déjà Vu, I felt I was because I dreamt it, but I can't remember that dream. Although often you don't feel that: you are certainly sure you did it.
