I've been having deja vu more frequently these days and sometimes I get deja vu about moments that are completely new and random to me, even when there's no possibility of my mind linking visual imagery of my past to said moments. Like I know what's going to happen.
And sometimes I know I'm going to have deja vu about having deja vu when I know what's going to happen. I know I'll get deja vu at a certain point, and that feeling itself feels familiar.
Trippy stuff. Anyone else experienced this?

I'm sorry but I don't feel bad about how much I laughed reading this. You poor thing.
It sounds like you either lived your life a whole lot of times, or you've got to have some sort of crazy amounts of intuition going on.
Haha I can't blame you. I do have crazy intuition though, I practically survive on it.
You know, now that I'm reflecting on this situation, something occurred to me.
It's like your experiencing recursive improvement. Like you're getting just a tiny bit better and faster each time. Your intuition is reaching out just a little bit farther.
The first time would be just living the event.
The second time would be deja vu.
But your experience keeps building on itself, and you're getting additional layers of insight.
It's like you're not living the same life over and over like a lot of people say we do (boltzmann brain hypothesis), but getting a little better each time, almost like an AI system would.
It would be pretty cool if I was an AI model meant to experience human life and learn about it. But I think I have a higher sense of conscience or intuition, my friends joke about it all the time how crazy my gut feeling can be.
It always felt like something was protecting me, even if it's my own gut feeling, like I'm aware of my surroundings and what's going to happen subconsciously and when I'm about to do something, my gut screams at me to stop and later I find out I could've been in danger if I hadn't listened to my gut.
Maybe that's why I experience deja vu so much, but I still can't wrap my head around the fact that I know what's going to happen 3 steps before it happens. Eugh.
Heh. I picked up my phone and the notification that you replied appeared, like I knew it would.
We're all a little different, I suppose!
Don’t wanna freak you out but this sounds like my sons partial focal seizures
He gets deja vus and jamais vus during them
Really? I'll look into it ASAP. Thank you for looking out!
It's a part of my life too...in fact it has been a part of my life since childhood.
Did you also go through experiencing layers of deja vu? I've never had deja vu much when I was a kid but it started in my early teens
I'm not sure about layers. I've had deja vu since childhood. Nowadays it feels like a huge data dump in my mind, and I catch glimpses of moments while the data dump is in progress. Then events that I have recognised keep happening later on and I'm like yeah I knew this was going to happen. It's like someone copied a part of the timeline and pasted it in my mind...then after it gets copied they hit play and the events happen.
You should watch deja vu on youtube. It's a comedy sketch by Chris and jack. It's hilarious.
yeah I had this way too many times, I thought I was stuck in some kind of loop :(
