Is the reason that we feel like we've experienced something before because one of our ancestors experienced the situation and passed that memory on to us?

This mysterious feeling, commonly known as déjà vu, occurs when we feel that a new situation is familiar, even if there is evidence that the situation could not have occurred previously. For a long time, this eerie sensation has been attributed to everything from paranormal disturbances to neurological disorders. However, in recent years, as more scientists began studying this phenomenon, a number of theories about déjà vu have emerged, suggesting that it is not merely a glitch in our brain’s memory system.

The Psychology of Déjà vu


In psychology, genetic memory is a memory present at birth that exists in the absence of sensory experience, and is incorporated into the genome over long spans of time.

Experiments showed that a traumatic event could affect the DNA in sperm and alter the brains and behaviour of subsequent generations.

A Nature Neuroscience study shows mice trained to avoid a smell passed their aversion on to their "grandchildren".

Experts said the results were important for phobia and anxiety research.

The animals were trained to fear a smell similar to cherry blossom.
'Memories' pass between generations

I usually get deja vu from dreams that I had YEARS ago and I turn up to a place or situation very similar if not the same
They say you dream every time you sleep even if you really don't remember it fully. I can see that happening. When I play the numbers I'm gonna hit u up and I better win

I dunno but I was in the middle of a dejavu 12yrs ago and instead of just being in the moment like a dope staring confused, I interacted and actually knew what the lady was gonna say. It was either a dream I had long before it happened or an intense DJV but....

At my boys job. In the vision, at the time I had it, I did not know who the man near me was, not the place I was in. In real time, I recognized that the man, would end up a good friend of mine and the place was his office.

I remember sitting in a chair in front of a door to my left. A woman walks in. Now in real time, the vision/dejavu was sparked by the phone ringing and my boy standing directly across from my as I sat. I started to go in a daze as I recognized this hazy moment. As I look over at the woman, she comes up to me and looks worried. Something spurred me in to interact this time and not be a spectator. To confirm this for myself. She walks over and asks if she can use the phone, which I knew she would. Now I'm trying to struggle and recall what happened next in my vision before it takes place in real time. In my vision I say, I don't work here. But in real time I look at her real hard and say..."Because you need to call your husband...about the car? Right?"...:leostare:


Now I'm staring at her hard as fukk trying to focus and when she hits me with "Yeah! Did he already call here for me?"....


I just...

Nah. I was being tongue-in-cheek and referencing a concept from the Assassins Creed series.

What's psychocybernetics about?

It's a book that a plastic surgeon wrote. He noticed that even when people had the issues (big nose, scar, small breasts) fixed, they still had a low self esteem. It's a lot more than that though, it's like visioning and really believing that you are something with no doubts. I highly recommend it. I'm gonna read it again. Ow that I'm thinking about it.

There's a section in the book that talks about an experiment they did in regards to basketball.

For one group all they did was THINK about practicing basketball.
The second group actually did practice basketball.
At the end of the study, there was no difference in the scores.

Once again, I enjoyed it. It's an easy read and it's not too long.
