I have had a few experiences of this in my life, as I am sure many others have. My question is, how is it even possible to dream something exactly as it happens, i.e. something that has happened or something someone has said?
It is my understanding that deja vu occurs when a malfunction in the brain causes you to access memory at inappropriate times. It makes new information seem like it’s coming from memory when it’s really not. The result is the creepy familiar feeling where it seems like you know what’s coming next. The feeling is so strong that you might even feel as if you are actually predicting things before they happen, wbich is of course just a psychological illusion.
As **Mosier **says, when you have deja vu it is not because you’ve really dreamed about what you’re seeing before, but that your brain makes you think it has to cover its mis-processing information. In computer terms, instead of filing current information in the “happening now” folder as usual, it tried to store it into (or perhaps onto) long-term past memories.
The way it corrects this error is by immediately pulling the info back from memory and whistling innocently, giving you the impression that this has all happened before. Which is easier than rewinding time and more elegant than blanking out the last 10 seconds or simply crashing the system, I suppose.
So how has it been that certain people can predict planes blowing up, and also help the police in equiries regarding things? very strange
Name anyone that has a statistically significant record of doing either of those things.
You’ll have to show a credible cite for those things before we can honestly discuss them.
…:smack:.:)!
They can’t and they don’t.
There’s also the matter that you’ve had quite a few dreams in your lifetime, and quite a few memories made. Seeing as we slowly lose parts of what we remember, and then recreate it on reacall, it is not unlikely for something you are doing to be similar enough to what little we remember of the previous memory that our brain thinks they are one and the same.
And most predictions are confirmation bias. You forget all the things you predicted that didn’t come true. The rest are just dumb luck.
I like this explanation 
They don’t help, they lie and claim it.
(There’s also some video of Sylvia Browne, that specially despicable person.
Not only that, but that’s not what’s meant by “deja vu” anyway. Seems the OP is talking about psychic predictions instead of deja vu.
Ok guys, here you go Psychic detective - Wikipedia some phychics only stuff known stuff on the police have known, even though none of them have been solved, still pretty strange
Did you read that link? What is there that you think supports your claim in any way?
Well, according to this:
[ul]
[li]Australia does not use psychics, and advises parents of missing children not to listen to them, either[/li][li]Britain does not acknowledge the use of psychics, though some evidence of communication between members of the police force and self-professed mediums apparently exists[/li][li]New Zealand considers spiritual communication not a creditable foundation for investigation[/li][li]The US occasionally resorts to psychics, but “no police department reported any instances of a psychic investigator providing information that was more helpful than other information received during the course of a case”.[/li][li]Self-professed psychic Sylvia Browne’s claims of being 85% correct in 115 cases ‘investigated’ by her have not stood up to testing – in fact, she was found ‘not even mostly correct’ in a single case[/li][/ul]
So the official position generally seems to range from outright dismissal to tentatively ambiguous at best, and evidence towards the effectiveness of so-called psychic detectives seems to be entirely absent.
