Deja Vu - A Weird Moment

[_____V_____]

Earlier yesterday I was walking out of the airport, looking for a taxi, and a red Chevy passed by in front of me.

Sounds perfectly normal and ordinary, right?

Yet...I could have SWORN that it was the EXACT SAME car which passed me a few weeks back at this very place. Oddly, it had a bumpersticker with a giraffe head, which might have been...(according to my memory)...the same bumpersticker I had seen on that Chevy a few weeks back.

Anyway, to clear my thoughts...I jogged along and once the car stopped, I asked the driver if he was here to pick up someone within the past month, but the reply was in the negative.

Sometimes I do get such sorts of feelings...like when I see a place or building for the first time, I get the VERY odd feeling that I have seen it before. Its happened before to me...so I was pondering over this.

Was it a dream, a hallucination...or a simple deja vu moment? You tell me.

It's meant to be something about your brain chemistry fucking up, as I recall...things not processing properly. Can't remember the specifics.

[ferretchucker]

yeh. It's where your brain fucks up for a split second and then, something that you've literally just seen, feels like it hapened ages ago because that exact memory (Your brain rememberes literally everything) is fractured and seems just like an older memory.

I sometimes find myself in a situation, performing a certain action in just a certain way which pulls up a strange memory of a fragmented dream I once had. It feels as if that very moment and movement was already known to me.

to answr your question.. It was simple deja vu.

I've had the feeling of deja vu many times. It's a weird thing. But, the weirdest thing is dreaming about something, and then it happens. Now, this is most likely another form of deja vu, but it freaked me out (this happened to me on two or three occasions).

the key to stopping the strange moment of deja vu is to turn to someone - it can be anyone - and say "rhinoceros" - because you will undoubteldy NOT remember turning to a stranger and saying "rhinocerous" - i honestly do this everytime i have that experience (which is oddly often)

Interesting.

But next time beware of that Red Chevy:)

What happens when that starts being part of your deja vu feelings?

funny thing....I was driving by the airport the other day and some guy asked me if I drove by here a few weeks back.....he had a sticker of a giraffe head on his luggage.
