Frankly, I'm intrigued. Regardless of the supposed mechanism, it would be interesting to study, especially if it occurs so frequently. Unfortunately, I'm not a psychiatrist, psychologist, or neurologist. Perhaps you should start keeping a journal of the deja-vu experiences, so you can get a more accurate count.

It depends on the day really, normally if im more tired i get more DeJa Vu's. Well thats normaly the rule which i just thought it was something to do with being tired. I drank espresso every morning, lunch and evening every day but i got a similar amout of DeJa Vu's.
But like the dream one which just kills me believing its just some random neurone activity. Simply because 1 the dream was with non of the places or people (different building to what was there i'd heard no plans for it being changed and people who i didn't even know existed). 2 when it happened i had a DeJa Vu of longer then just the dream with me being able to remember after. 3 it was a completly new place and new people all of which had never been in my long term memory. |
That's the issue, really: the internal difference between continuity, short-term, and long-term.
"Continuity" memory goes like this:
Sensory input ==> Continuity Memory Activated! Object sighted!
Sensory input ==> Oh, that's the same object as here ^
Sensory input ==> Oh, that's the same object as here ^
Sensory input ==> Oh, that's the same object as here ^
So we know it is the same object moment to moment.
Another thing that happens at the same time is this:
Sensory input ==> Continuity Memory Activated! Object sighted!
Continuity Memory ==> Short-term memory query: have we seen this before? Yes/No
Continuity Memory ==> Long-term memory query: have we seen this before? Yes/No
Return: Object Memory or No Reference ==> Continuity Memory
Well, if the signals get crossed---
Sensory input ==> Continuity Memory Activated! Object sighted!
Continuity Memory tagged as Long Term Memory ==> Continuity Memory: Oh, we've seen this before!
Bam! Deja-Vu.
This is just another way it could happen, and until more research is done, this is an alternative explanation to precognition.
