Deja Vu is defined as a feeling that something has been seen, heard, or experienced before. I didn’t look too deeply into the relatively common phenomenon. It occasionally came up in conversation among family and friends, even in grade school.
The nuns said it was something to do with soul knowledge.
For years, I accepted the definition. And then…
Dreams. In high school I had a series of dreams of my future. I could make out enough detail that I was able to recall the buildings, color of the sky, and other aspects years later.
Dreams and Deja Vu Intersect. Eight years after those dreams, I was helping a friend decorate his Christmas tree. I grabbed an ornament and started toward the tree when an incredibly strong sense of Deja Vu came over me. I froze and focused on the feeling. As I stood quietly, one of the dreams replayed on my internal mental screen. I studied every nuance before declaring “This is my dream.” And yet it was more. It was not just a dream, it was a sense of Deja Vu. I continued to watch the scene play out and it continued forward, showing me events that would happen in the future.
Vibrations of the future – Deja Vu. Six years later, I had a totally unique Deja Vu experience. The feeling vibrated through me with a familiarity that was so intense, it scared me. I pushed it away. When I did this, I had the sudden knowledge that had I held in with the feeling, pushed through the fear, I would have gotten a premonition of what was to come.
Mind over Deja Vu Vibration. Learning to push through that fear was difficult. The Deja Vu moment would start the same…a sense that something had been done or felt before. Then a sense of dread would set in and I would get a knot in my stomach. The moment that happened, I pushed the thoughts and visions away.
Nothing to Fear. I told myself that I had to push through the fear and allow the premonition to materialize on my mental screen. After several tries, I was successful. This set the stage for more successes as I learned to recognize the knot in my stomach as the trigger for the premonition.
Message to the Past. Time is not linear and members of IRVA have already demonstrated that information can be sent backward in time. I now believe that Deja Vu is a message sent back to us from a future point. If we can stop and notice when we feel the familiar vibration of Deja Vu, we are able to see that information.
I suggest writing the details in a notebook. Sketch the scenes and provide as much detail as possible. When you find yourself in that moment, you can pull out the file and match up the experience to the details you received previously.
It is a wild experience to suddenly realize you are in the middle of your Deja Vu experience, years after you had it.
