We were talking about the "opposite of deja vu" though. Deja vu itself seems to be something else, as the C's have said.

Interesting theory. It's been a while since I read Castaneda. I haven't really noticed any patterns when it occurs, and it's not too frequent. It's not so much that I forget things. They just momentarily can seem very foreign and surreal. Like I'm seeing them, or some aspect of them for the first time.

Yep what i mentioned previously , though they ( the lizzies ) only do it when there are gains to it , which is why i was pointing it out with regards to recent posts on this thread , ie the further one works on self the less those creatures will be tempted to do it for fewer expectations of results. fwiw / blah

It can be a dissociative symptom, called "derealization" in psychiatry :
Derealization - Wikipedia
(Another close symptom is called "depersonnalization" : being "detached" from oneself, mind and body.)
If ever it becomes more frequent in your life, I would recommend that you talk about it to your MD, a psychologist or a psychiatrist.

Thank you for the links. I have read a little about depersonalisation before, as I have had one instance, when the realization hit me, that I'm trapped inside my body.
I guess it's possible that some underlying stress or anxiety could be behind them sometimes, even though I don't remember feeling particularly stressed beforehand. But so far they have been quite rare and brief (maybe a few seconds), so I haven't really been too bothered by them.
I think I've had them before. It's just a feeling like, "Something feels different." And yeah it could just be anxiety or derealization.

Some moderate Deja Vu Wed-Fri 10/8-10/10, meaning about 1-3 instances/day. Today was "accident day" which seems to go with the phenomena for me. I scraped (very minor) someone's car, a squirrel ran under my car but I think lived (I didn't see it dead in the road), and then when I looked up and started inching forward someone was jay walking right in front of me. That all happened in the space of 3 hours. Feels a little freaky out there.
