My theory on De Ja Vu

[alijay]

Hey folks, long time lurker, first time poster! I just wanted to share my theory on De ja vu

So, we all experience it at somepoint. The thought that we have seen or done something before. My theory is simple, we have done it before.

Because we are already dead.

When a person dies, the brain still works for a short time. The last of the electric energy fizzing out. Now imagine for a second, in those last few moments of before the lights go out, we experience the proverbial "life flashing before our eyes". It could make sense. Think of it like a dream, we can dream a lifetime while we sleep for only 1 minute. Perhaps, our brain fizzing out enters a sort of dream state, our life flashing before our eyes.

My theory is, the current "present" we are experiencing is infact our past. Our lives flashing before our eyes as we lay dying. An instant on our deathbed, manifested as an entire lifetime in our sort of dream state. This is why we feel de ja vu, why we feel like we have seen or done something before. Because we have. Because we are all currently living a memory, not the present.

We are already dead, and we don't even know it.

your theory is interesting

science labels it as a memory error

I personally have a couple of theories:
1) Déjà vu is yes related to memory, but of a version of ourselves from another world (multiverse)
2) Déjà vu is related to the memory of an event that happened in an erased timeline that has overwritten the present one

Think of it like a dream, we can dream a lifetime while we sleep for only 1 minute.

Dreaming is the other way around. What seems like a short time dreaming, turns into hours of sleep. That's why sometimes it seems like all you did was blink and 8 hours has gone by. Still, interesting theory. You may need to refine it after you read about my Deja Vu experience. It's like this, I sometimes feel like I had a dream about doing an... adult activity with a very familiar partner, but the problem is that I remember having this dream as a child, but I remember it wasn't a dream but a memory. A memory from so long ago, I would have been only a small child, but I wasn't, I was a teenager.

Btw, TT_0 had a theory about Deja Vu. He implied that there were infinite parallel worlds, where all versions of us exist simultaneously and all versions of ourselves communicate on a subconscious level, and Devu Vu is a flash of awareness to those other 'yous'.
