My wife gets a kind of de ja vu. She's had a peculiar persistent condition ever since taking a very large dose of lsd with me. On a near-nightly basis for the last two years her dreams have been entirely different in quality to before her trip. Prior to the trip she always dreampt in third person, as if watching a story unfold. Now she often has first person dreams. These first person dreams are so much more real to her than her prior dreams. Indistinguishable from reality. She often will learn things in the dreams that she doesnt know in real life. When she woke up from the time she was dreaming as an autistic Vietnemese man during the Vietnam War and started talking Vietnemese to me, that was weird. Pulling out Google translate and having it accurately translate. Or when she mentioned acute details of a person that neither of us had met before, but soon would be introduced to by a mutual acquaintance of ours. She knew this person because she had a dream where she was that person. The girl was described as chubby with dark hair and had a missing ring finger since birth, as well as being a mutual acquaintance of the friend who would introduce us. It would take me days of writing to capture the adventures we've been on since this strange phenomenon began. Too many of her "alternate lives" for lack of a better word. And to be honest neither of us talk about it much. Even our closest friends just know the vague superficiality of it. Who would believe us? Most would be incredulous or write us off as nuts. The last place I'd expect this comment to meet welcoming eyes is a place like HN, and for good reason. There's no evidence of this nonsense outside of anecdotes. My wife certainly can't control her dreams to do a repeatable experiment. However now that I mention that, I wonder what lucid dreaming could be like for her. Neither of us believed in psychic phenomenon before this, but now we just sort of accept that there are greater mysteries than the narrow lens of materialism is now focused on. We can't explain these occurrences.

have you ever looked up clairvoyance? it's pretty fascinating stuff and your story sounds somewhat familiar to this biography i once read about not too long ago. it makes you wonder if this stuff is indeed real. http://www.baba-vanga.com/2015/09/04/baba-vanga-biography-in-greater-details/ http://www.baba-vanga.com/2015/09/04/baba-vanga-biography-in... btw, don't fall for the whole media stuffs about her predictions, many of them are bs, stick to the original source.

I've had the sensation of deja vu on and off (particularly when tired) over the past 10 years. This began after experimenting with lsd in my early twenties and has sort of tapered off since. On one of the first occasions trying the drug I had a momentary (and vivid) recall of what felt like the hundreds of times in my lifetime I had the sensation of deja vu. Sort of like some circuit for deja vu related memories was activated. For many of the memories, I had remembered them previously as being about the sensation of deja vu (so in one sense I could at least validate some of them were correct when recalled agian). There were many others I couldn't be sure were actual fragments of my past that were being recalled for the first time. Fleeting. The persistence of the sensation has broken over the years. Only when jetlagged or exhausted will the deja vu filter reappear. Another thing I've noticed is that if I'm super tired - that type of tired when you can fall asleep in 10 seconds - is that one half of me will fall asleep faster than the other. If I'm woken in those few seconds I awaken with what feels like two sets of memories for those few seconds that goes with a strong sense of deja vu. * I've been to doctor and discussed this. Had MRI & EEG (nothing unusual), and removed a lot of stress my life combined with a good diet and exercise. I've had little in the way of such strange experiences in a long while except a little deja vu every now and again.

A few years ago I had a dream that I was roughly 5 years in the future. I was in a car with some people that I don't know. We were driving near the house I grew up in. They gave me a drug that hasn't been invented yet. It was called 'cloud'. In the dream I could feel the drug as if I was awake. It made me see a huge amount of colors I can't normally see. As if I had an extra cone in my eye. Then we swam in blue tiled baths in the hills behind my house that aren't there in waking life. Not sure what it means.
