Incredibly strong Deja Vu
Discussion
Evening all.
Just wondering if anyone else suffers from this?
I get it about once/twice a year, and it started maybe 12 years ago. I'll be somewhere familiar and then a spell of Deja Vu will hit me like a train. It completely stops me in my tracks as I try to put the pieces of the puzzle together and try and work out either who a specific person is or what happened in that situation that the Deja Vu is about. Sometimes its about the place I am in and sometimes something unrelated. Its not a normal Deja Vu at all.... its almost like a out of body "episode".
It always leaves me feeling a bit weird for about 10 minutes afterwards, and almost a bit nauseous.
I feel like I have posted this before...... (joking)
Thanks
Rich

Snap, also have this from time to time, and like you, it can feel very strong.
I’ve looked into it and one explanation is, it’s a slight delay between the two sides of the brain processing the same info. What you’re experiencing as Deja Vu is actually happening at that moment, but the one side of the brain is seeing it as a memory of sorts.
Not sure myself. My theory is that we live in a matrix and it’s just a glitch in the system

Whilst no definite explanation exists, the most plausible I've read is that Deja Vu is as a result of a cognitive 'glitch'. In simple terms, for reasons unknown, your brain occasionally absorbs what it is seeing, hearing, etc and bypasses the part of the brain that processes immediate things and places directly into the part that stores as a memory. It then recognises this is wrong and bumps it back to the here and now bit. The momentary lag gives you the sensation of what you are experiencing being a memory - which technically, it is.

Your brain is a pattern recognition engine that is sat in the pitch dark inside your skull making a rough model of the real world based on the patterns it recognises from the "live" data stream combined with learned patterns from remembered data. It's not surprising that there's the occasional I/O device error in the system.
Assuming you're using the forum for advice, I don't want to freak you out, but very strong deja-vu can be a presenting feature of temporal lobe epilepsy, or most likely its probably nothing, but the periods you're describing afterwards could fit with a post-ictal state. Might be worth discussing with your GP....

I was waiting for this to be honest. The last time it happened which was in the first half of 2017, I googled it and read about TLE. Its just odd how it happens so infrequently. Last one like I say happened maybe just over 1 year ago. Might go and have a chat... Thanks

Can anyone remember specifically what their deja vu was?
Mine generally relate to places be it rooms of towns that I feel that I have been to before but haven't.I've often wondered if we inherit a genetic memory. I was born in Norwich but from two months old was raised in the East End/Essex. I'd not been to Norwich until I was 18 and a mate moved to Wroxham. Me and some mates went up to see him - I drove. When we got to Norwich, I knew exactly where I needed to go, taking all the little back streets. Never looked at a map or a road sign, I just instinctively 'knew'.
