A deja vu is when someone deliberately alters the matrix. - Janv1er, on 06/08/2009, -2/+42These comments suck.
Woah, déjà vu ! - nahsrocketeer75, on 06/08/2009, -7/+30The part about this research I found particularly fascinating was ... was ...

This area has had very little empirical research in the past, because no one could think of a feasible way to recreate the phenomena. This is fantastic.
Now, people largely have decided that Freud was a nut, and this probably holds no scientific value, but Freud considered the tip-of-the-tongue phenomena to be a parapraxis (What Freud called the Freudian slip), and it holds insight to the subconscious, the same as the slip-of-the-tongue that we commonly associate with parapraxis. - yocouchdigga, on 06/08/2009, -9/+29because I got high.
- Wingin, on 06/08/2009, -2/+21Cool. Some actual research.
I want to know more about why we forget words (and more importantly how I can STOP DOING IT!) It doesn't need to be an unfamiliar word for me to lose it. Interesting article though. - CaviMike, on 06/08/2009, -2/+20Just make up words, that's what GWB does.

- sacramentalist, on 06/08/2009, -1/+13I don't have deja vu as much as I am easily dis .... squirrel!
- finklehorn, on 06/08/2009, -5/+16when someone has a déjà vu i do something unexpected and ask if that was part of thier déjà vu. the answer is usually "no, please stop doing that vulgar movement"
try it - VisualRhetoric, on 06/08/2009, -4/+15-MANCHUUUUUUUU!!!!
- graywolfz10, on 06/09/2009, -1/+9cant let it go can you?
- Amadeus2490, on 06/09/2009, -0/+8How about precognitive dreams, where you dream a certain situation happening in everyday life, and it happens exactly the same way you dreamt it a day or two later? This happens to me sometimes, and I don't even remember it until after the event has happened; I'm like "Ohh, yeah! I dreamt about hearing these two-old-men-in-line-at-the-cafeteria having this exact conversation last night!", or i'll dream about being in a different house. . .the next time my family moves, it's into the house I dreamt about being in a few months back, down to every detail I saw in my dream. I'm sure there's an explanation, but it's just creepy.
- SomeDrunk, on 06/09/2009, -0/+6This happens to me too, I think my brain is broken.
- graywolfz10, on 06/09/2009, -2/+8sorry im not 12 :(
- GeekNurse, on 06/09/2009, -2/+8GHEDDABOUDIT!!!!
- Paulmeirense, on 06/09/2009, -0/+5I'm not your pal, guy!
- geoboy, on 06/09/2009, -1/+6The explanation is fairly simple. You didn't actually dream it. It doesn't matter how convincing your sudden recollection is. Your brain is tricking you. The key part of the puzzle is the part where you said "This happens to me sometimes, and I don't even remember it until after the event has happened". You don't remember it until it actually happens because you never had the memory until that point. But your brain tricks you into thinking that "no, I've had this memory for a while, I just haven't recalled it until now".
This reminds me of a story I heard on NPR about a guy who gets constant deja vu experiences. He'll watch episodes of TV shows that never aired before and swear it must be a rerun because he's seen it before. He'll even claim the same thing about live televised broadcasts. He'll be taken to places he's never been before, but he'll claim with certainty that he must have visited it before. Clearly his memory is faulty. But to him, his recollections feel so real that he'll believe his brain before he believes what anyone else says. - graywolfz10, on 06/09/2009, -0/+5@MrMayBeBanned
1. Cause you sound like a pretentious ass.
2. You don't get what "cool story bro" means. - nextekcarl, on 06/08/2009, -1/+6Wow, I'm pretty sure that's not quite what you meant to say.
- graywolfz10, on 06/09/2009, -1/+5"i was into science before it was cool"
***** off - TheTommyD, on 06/08/2009, -0/+4What Word?
- kufu91, on 06/09/2009, -1/+5hey man, i know its your first day on digg, but you don't have to mention that you're "really interested in science and programming" in every story you comment on
- greenwald, on 06/09/2009, -0/+4I think you have boring dream disorder.
- zigardne, on 06/09/2009, -0/+4cool story bro.
- CrimsonBlur, on 06/09/2009, -1/+5Considering you (or anyone, not just singling you out) only "remember" having the dream after the experience has happened, how are you sure you actually had that dream? There really isn't any way of knowing in that type of scenario.
Personally my assumption when that happens to me is just that my mind has confused exactly what things happened when and my memories get a little foggy so my brain just tries to fill in the blanks. When I think back on it it seems to me I dreamed of the situation beforehand, but in reality the dream probably never happened and it's just my mind compensating for the discrepancies in how I recall what happened. - SystemicThought, on 06/09/2009, -0/+4No. You're wrong. It is one version of a "Freudian slip." Trust me on this one, I had to read "The Psychopathology of Everyday Life" for my Freud class last semester.
Read the wiki link. It even has a section on popular understanding of the term, which is the understanding you have.

- idolwalrus, on 06/08/2009, -0/+3I think he meant "relaying information to the *brain* and then memory banks slower"
That is, the sensory impulses from one eye reach the brain slightly behind the impulses from the other eye, giving the brain the immediate sense that it has seen it before.
And yes, that is one of the theories (insofar, from my experience, that it has been discussed by a professor in a Philosophy of Mind class, Fall 2008). - Amadeus2490, on 06/09/2009, -1/+4"Considering you (or anyone, not just singling you out) only "remember" having the dream after the experience has happened, how are you sure you actually had that dream? "
Because I remember it while i'm dreaming, and then for about ten minutes after I wake up. Most people forget their dreams soon after they wake up.
(My apologies for not typing "I didn't even remember it AGAIN")
With the example of the two old men talking, I actually remember telling my family about it soon after I woke up; It felt more real to me than other dreams i've had, and I told them exactly what these men were talking about. Later that day, we wind up in the same place, in the same situation and sure enough those men are standing in front of me, wearing exactly what I saw in the dream and saying word-for-word what I had dreamed. I'm in no way claiming anything supernatural, but 'til this day it still kind of creeps me out how that happened. - dazparkour, on 06/09/2009, -0/+3Nostradamus predicted things correctly.
Mostly, he did this by making LOTS AND LOTS of predictions - something was going to be right eventually.
You have a lot of dreams. - ZSparkman, on 06/09/2009, -0/+2Haha yeah, relaying information to the brain...
- RubberBinder, on 06/09/2009, -4/+6The explanations for deja vu never seem right. I get occurrences at least 3 times a week and it isn't just a "hey I've seen this before" moment, most of the time the same exact thing happens as happened in a dream I had days, weeks, sometimes even years beforehand. These periods of deja vu are usually between 2-5 seconds and some can be 15 seconds of an event just like I dreamt it. I can't believe that it is just a slow reaction by the brain when there are extended periods of time that I have no control over but know exactly what is going to happen because I had the dream earlier.
Most recently I had a dream about 1 week ago that I got 84% on a test and said to my friend that I had got this grade, today I got the test back and the exact same thing happened. - cerealjynx, on 06/09/2009, -2/+4LLLOOOOOPIAAAAN TUUUUUBES!!
- 123bucklemyshoe, on 06/09/2009, -0/+1zigardne: Thanks and kufu: I'm only posting that where it's relevent to the discussion basically.
- iCanHasUsername, on 06/09/2009, -0/+1I'm sure I have read this article before.
- graywolfz10, on 06/10/2009, -0/+1Something tells me you have no friends.
- jgull8502, on 06/09/2009, -0/+1If you have a University near you, get in touch with their Psychology or Neuroscience Department. I'm sure they're looking for participants (they pay you too!)
- wrek, on 06/09/2009, -0/+1So I read the whole thing... I still don't know why my brain can't remember that word.
- dazparkour, on 06/09/2009, -0/+1Tastes too stringy.
- BingoPower, on 06/09/2009, -0/+1deja brew.
The feeling you've had this beer before. - graywolfz10, on 06/11/2009, -0/+1The tip does embiggen the smallest man.
@Teh_techie you fail at Simpson history i hope you never call yourself a fan. - slashdotordigg, on 06/09/2009, -0/+1Also you can't remember a word when brains attack the earth. And all you remember to say is "umm...."
Unless you are Fry - JoeHague, on 06/09/2009, -1/+2" were obscure enough to elicit tip-of-the-tongue experiences in all but one participant"
I be curious to know if that participant is either left-handed or epileptic/ -
