************************DEJA-VU************************ Long post but Lately many people are suffering from the same problem which is called Déjà Vu and have been asking many questions related to it. So, today I will try to solve your problem just read carefully: Déjà Vu is a common intuitive experience that has happened to many of us. The expression is derived from the French, meaning already seen. When it occurs, it seems to spark our memory of a place we have already been, a person we have already seen, or an act we have already done. It is a signal to pay special attention to what is taking place, perhaps to receive a specific lesson in a certain area or complete what is not yet finished. In medical terms it is also called paramenisa or promnesia. The experience of déjà vu is usually accompanied by a compelling sense of familiarity, and also a sense of strangeness or weirdness. Many people here have following misconceptions here about Déjà Vu? The previous experience is most frequently attributed to: 1. a dream, 2. past life experience 3. black or white magic /spells 4. prophecy **How does the memory system in our brain work? To understand the concept of Déjà vu we have to understand how the memory system works. It can be divided into following steps: 1. Experience presentation- The conscious mind comes in contact with an experience. This experience is a combination of one or more of the 5 basic senses along with emotions and feelings. 2. This experience stimulates the brain to secrete neuro-chemicals. These chemical act on different parts of the brain to instantly create a short-term memory. 3. Short term memory is part of the memory system, were a memory is stored for a very short time. This could be a few seconds to few minutes. It’s because of this volatile nature that most information stored into it is normally lost. When a short-term memory is recalled into the conscious mind, an individual feels the sensation of present time. The notion of present time, place and person is based on this interaction. 4. Long term Memory- When a short term memory is further reinforced by some stimulus or experience, a new set of neuro-chemicals react to store it into the deeper cells of the brain. It then gets converted into what is called a long term memory. The duration of this memory ranges from a few hours to years or even a life-time. When this memory is brought into the conscious mind, an individual describes it as recalling an experience from the past. **Why does “Déjà Vu” really happen? 1. Scientifically déjà vu is not an act of precognition or prophecy, but rather that it is an anomaly of memory system in the brain. This can be proved by the fact that the sense of recollection at the time is very strong in most cases, but that the circumstances of the previous experience (when, where, and how the earlier experience occurred) are quite uncertain. In “Déjà vu” the new stimulus or experience of an individual is stored both in short term and long term memories simultaneously. This anomaly gives a perception of having previously experienced a newly encountered situation. 2. Neuro-chemically it’s attributed to being a hyperdopaminergic state. That means increased secretion of dopamine in certain lobes of the brain. “Déjà vu” isn’t classified as a disorder by modern medicine. But if it occurs frequently with someone, then an immediate neuro-psychiatric consult is required. ADMIN(~Sabbath)
