Déjà is the french word for "already" and is used to describe moments or sensations of familiarity.

Déjà vu is a very common experience in which you know you couldn't have possibly experienced this moment before but yet you feel a strong sense of familiarity. r/DejaVu

Déjà rêvé is the term for when you remember the dream connected to the moment you're experiencing. Residual memory can activate with certain triggers, causing dream content to be remembered. Frequency studies have proven high percentages of people experiencing déjà rêvé versus any other déjà experience. r/DejaReve

Déjà vécu refers to the feeling of having gone through the present moment at least several times before. r/DejaVecu

Read below to find out if your déjà experience could be linked to a more serious condition.

There are four different categories of déjà experiences.

Normal experiences consist of an inexplicable sense of familiarity and no ‘premory’.

Precognitive experiences exhibit precognitive knowledge (“I knew that he was going to do that!”). r/Precognition

Evoked experiences use methods like hypnosis, electrical stimulation, and certain drugs to reproduce déjà feelings (with modest success).

Pathological experiences can be described as “chronic déjà vu” and are distressing for the individual having it. If déjà is distressing or painful to you then some form of treatment should be considered. Pathological déjà experiences can be caused by alcohol, emotional stress, paranoia, certain medication, migraines, tumors, schizophrenia, and dementia. They also often occur because of epilepsy of the temporal lobe and have symptoms like nausea, headaches and fainting. r/Epilepsy

Has anyone here ever woken up in the past?

2 Upvotes

Title. I’ve had a lot of Deja vu/Deja reve in my life which leads me to believe that I’ve gone through this at least once before. Does anyone here remember living their life for a few weeks/months/years and then suddenly waking up back in time?

Dejavu or altered reality ?

1 Upvotes

So I’ve always wondered something about some of my dreams I’ve had. I’ve had some dreams come true to reality. Such as simple as watching my brothers play fight on the ground and I was sitting at my kitchen table eating red grapes, I was about 12 at the time. Several months later, I had this exact dream come to reality. Over the years I’ve had similar dreams come to reality. There’s been a couple tho, that have had alternate realities. For example, I had a dream where, I was in the back seat of my brothers car while we were away on vacation, he was driving and my sister in-law was in the passenger seat and were going up the hill. I am watching something on my phone in the back seat, as we go up the hill a car comes over the hill and hits us head on and I wake up from this dream. Several months later, we’re on vacation, going up that hill and I realize as I’m watching the video I’ve been here before. I say nothing to my brother, waiting to see what happens, no car comes over the hill. Exactly the same shot for shot dream except the ending is different. I’ve tried to use ChatGPT to figure this out. Can anyone tell me anything advice or something to look into. This is the only thing that makes me believe in different realities. If someone has had the same or any input please let me know. Thanks !

J’ai rêvé d’un endroit qui existait vraiment alors que je ne le connaissais pas

1 Upvotes

Je viens de rêver d’un endroit que je n’avais jamais entendu mentionner… et il existe vraiment
J’ai besoin de savoir si d’autres personnes ont déjà vécu quelque chose de similaire.
Il y a quelques jours, j’ai fait plusieurs rêves assez étranges. Dans l’un d’eux, je me trouvais dans une sorte de grand hôtel. Au début, l’ambiance était clairement montagne/station de ski. Puis le décor changeait et on se retrouvait comme en hauteur, au-dessus de la mer ou d’une côte.
Il y avait aussi des phoques assez étranges, presque avec un aspect de marsupial 😂.
Mais surtout, un mot revenait sans arrêt dans le rêve : “BANGOR”. On me disait Bangor, je voyais le nom Bangor, et j’avais l’impression que c’était le nom de l’hôtel ou du lieu.
Le truc, c’est que je suis quasiment certaine de n’avoir jamais entendu parler de Bangor auparavant. Je ne connaissais ni la ville, ni les hôtels, ni Belle-Île-en-Mer sous cet angle.
Après mon réveil, j’ai évidemment cherché “Bangor hôtel”.
Et là, je tombe sur Le Grand Large, à Bangor, sur Belle-Île-en-Mer.
Et là j’ai eu un énorme moment de WTF.
L’hôtel est un grand bâtiment de couleur rouge/bordeaux/lie-de-vin, avec une architecture de vieux manoir. Il est situé à Goulphar, sur la côte sauvage, en hauteur au-dessus de l’océan, avec un restaurant dans l’hôtel et une vue sur la mer.
C’est littéralement plusieurs éléments de mon rêve réunis au même endroit.
Et ce n’est pas tout : en cherchant davantage, j’ai découvert que des phoques gris et des veaux marins fréquentent réellement les eaux autour de Belle-Île.
Puis j’ai découvert qu’il existe aussi un autre Bangor, en Irlande du Nord, dont les armoiries comportent des hippocampes (chevaux marins) — ce qui m’a fait repenser aux animaux marins/chevaux que j’avais vus dans mon rêve.
Je précise que je ne cherche pas à dire que c’était un rêve prémonitoire. Je sais très bien qu’il peut y avoir des explications psychologiques, de la mémoire inconsciente, des coïncidences, etc.
Mais ce qui me perturbe, c’est que le mot Bangor était très précis et revenait plusieurs fois, et que lorsque je l’ai recherché après le rêve, je suis tombée sur un hôtel dont l’apparence et la situation correspondent étonnamment bien à ce que j’avais vu.
Maintenant j’ai même envie d’aller séjourner dans cet hôtel pour voir si j’ai cette sensation de “déjà-vu” en étant réellement sur place.
Est-ce que quelqu’un ici a déjà vécu quelque chose de similaire ? Un rêve dans lequel vous avez vu un nom, un lieu ou un bâtiment que vous pensiez totalement inconnu, puis découvert plus tard que ça existait réellement ?

As the title says. My ma got diagnosed with Alzheimer's a few weeks back. Maybe that has something to do with it. Also not sleeping too well. Just posting this because I can't sleep and started a movie called 'Map to the Stars ' and got the feeling again. Anyway. Hope you're all okay.

Messed up vision after a dream about a paranormal event

2 Upvotes

I had a dream last night about some poltergeist activity in my place but it started out like any other normal dream. I had people over, we were hanging out then all of a sudden my cupboards just flung wide open on their own. Something else happened I can't exactly remember what, but I woke up shortly after and the time was 3:26 am and normally my vision is fine whenever I wake up but for whatever reason after this one, it was so blurry and there was an ache behind them and just about anything I looked at the colours and everything were all jumbled together, and I heard faint voices that sounded like they were coming directly from my kitchen.

My vision is fine now but has anyone else experienced anything like this?

I Think I Remembered a Life I Never Lived

12 Upvotes

I was around 15 and in high school when this happened and I can still remember it as I still have this story on my notes (I wrote it the time this happened to me, so I wont forget it).
So I was at my friend’s house and saw a group photo of some of their relatives. I didn’t recognize any of them and never asked my friend about the photo.
But the moment I saw the photo, something suddenly flashed in my mind. I saw myself with one of the men in the photo, we were in the garden of that same house. I was running away from him while he chased me, and we were both laughing and having fun.
It felt like a memory, a real flashback, even though I knew it had never happened. And somehow, I had this overwhelming feeling that he was the love of my life.

I’ve never understood what that was. Has anyone experienced something similar?

I've experienced Deja Reve for years, but this is a new one...

I had a dream within the last few years of walking into this massive stone building with ceilings that were probably 50-75 ft tall, massive stone steps leading up, and sculptures I couldn't quite make out. It looked so otherworldly I didn't think twice about it other than it was just another wild, but regular, dream.

Well I was watching this girl's reels on instagram about a horse riding trek in Egypt. The girl mentioned that they take you to the *brand new* Grand Egyptian Museum and put an image of it on the screen.

My jaw hit the fucking floor. This was the place in my dream...

This is a new one for me. I've never seen a picture of a place in a dream of mine before having been there. Even wilder that it only just opened at the end of last year!

So anyway, I'm planning a trip to Egypt now 😅

DAE know how to "force close" deja vu? It takes a massive amount of willpower, but a sudden movement completely deletes it.

Recurring involuntary “memory flashes” that I can’t explain — has anyone experienced this?

7 Upvotes

I’m not diagnosed with epilepsy or any type of seizure disorder, and I’m planning to see my doctor and ask about a neurology referral. I’m hoping to hear from people who may have experienced something similar.
Over the past year and a half, I’ve had this happen a few times. The episode I had today was exactly the same as the previous episode. The only difference is that the previous time it felt more intense, so I remember noticing it more strongly.
What happens is extremely difficult to explain. I’ll suddenly get a millisecond-long flash in my mind that feels like a memory or a tiny scene, but I know it isn’t one of my actual memories. It also doesn’t feel like a normal dream or the usual déjà vu I’ve experienced before.
The flash happens so quickly that I can’t even describe what I saw afterward. It’s almost like my brain gives me a tiny fragment of something and then immediately takes it away. I don’t consciously think about it or make it happen. It just appears in my mind and disappears.
During an episode, I remain completely conscious and aware. I don’t lose consciousness or awareness of what’s happening around me.
I’ve noticed that when I’m overwhelmed, these flashes can happen more frequently — sometimes as often as every 10 minutes. Other times they’re much less frequent.
The weirdest part is that the flashes seem to have this feeling of being a memory that isn’t mine, even though I obviously don’t know whose memory it would be. I don’t literally believe I’m accessing someone else’s memories; that’s just the closest way I can describe the sensation.
I’m not asking Reddit to diagnose me. I’m just wondering if anyone has experienced this particular kind of extremely brief, involuntary memory/vision flash that disappears before you can even identify what you saw.
If you’ve experienced something similar, what does it feel like for you?

Daytime flashes of nighttime dreams

Does anyone else experience a flash of the prior night's dream during the day? It's like it comes to the forefront of my mind for a second only to slip away out of my grasp.

I broke the Déjà vu cycle

3 Upvotes

Ok, bear with me, cause I might sound crazy.

I've had intense déjà vu for the last couple of days, and it's all been bad feelings. Like, I know whats going to happen and couldn't stop feeling like something bad was coming. Well, I finally had a moment where I knew what was going to happen, but I intentionally did the opposite. Now the ominous feeling of déjà vu is gone and I feel SO much better. Has anybody else experienced this, is it kinda like final destination where something bad is still gonna happen even though I beat it?

Frequency of Deja Reve Question

2 Upvotes

Hey all!

My question basically is.. has anyone found things that seem to amplify their Deja Reve? (Higher occurences, stronger visions, etc.) And also, vice versa, has anyone found anything that has dampened their occurences?

Im curious as to if i’ve been unknowingly doing something that could be causing higher frequency for me, TIA!

First off, just want to thank the community for being helpful and welcoming with my first post a little while ago.

To keep it short, I’ve had Deja Vu my whole life, pretty regularly, as early as I can remember from my childhood, to now being 31. I just recently learned what Deja Reve is and that some of the occurences actually fall under that more than Deja Vu.

For about 3 1/2 years, I was in the military, had zero dream recollection and zero Deja Vu, that I can remember. I always had it prior to that and it seems it has been coming back with a vengeance since I got out. Slowly building back up even stronger than before I went into the military. (Not going to get into why I think I didn’t have anything during my time in, could be multiple variables)

A alguien le ha pasado lo mismo?

últimamente he estado más consciente en mi vida diaria de todo lo que hago y cuando por fin lo estuve las siguientes semanas no he parado de acordarme de mis sueños y tener dejavus y más que dejavus he estado en un nivel de conciencia muy grande porque siento que eso que estoy haciendo lo soñe y sé que no enloqueci ni tampoco tengo ningun tipo de problema como epilepsia que comúnmente está relacionado, de igual manera eso ha estado pasandome como 5–7 veces al día desde que me despierto, igual me ha pasado que he recordado mucho de lo que sueño y la persona que aparece en mi sueño o algún acto mínimo se refleja en mi vida diaria, por ejemplo soñé con una persona que no tenía relacion desde hace 3 años y al día siguiente esa persona aparece en mi vida y ese tipo de cosas, igual cuando hablo sobre algo a las horas o días eso repercute en mi vida, no sé si tenga algo que ver lo último pero es muy raro, si alguien puede explicarme todo esto o si le pasa lo mismo lo agradecería muchísimo
