I love this topic. Thanks for covering it so well. Another theory is time travel as the cause. Once experiencing the event, I knew what the person was about to say. Anyway, I hope you write more on this and thank you again.
I am almost afraid to say this, but since I a very serious incident some years ago, I was in hospital and this I remember very very clearly! My Mother ,Stepfather, Grandmother and Aunt were by my bedside talking to two Dr's and there were also two Nurses there ,I remember looking down at them listening to what they were saying. They were discussing turning my " Life support machine Off" I remember my Mother Crying as were my Granny and my Aunt, my Mother was refusing and my Aunt who was very Religious was saying at the same time "D**** is strong if its God's will etc" I don't know why but I was distracted for a moment I couldn't hear them anymore? I was looking at myself on the bed with everyone around me but I saw a thing glittering/ shining on the long windowsill about 5ft above my bed behind where my head was on the bed". I woke up enough and said something I can't remember what then everything went black next thing I'm waking up for longer times and it was the pain I kept feeling that made me wake properly and I screamed, I started to get better and although told I would likely have some brain damage and it was unlikely I would walk again, I only suffered memory loss and was walking albeit with crutches 11 months later. I must have been a bit out of it because I can't remember telling my Mother in front of a Dr and Nurse what I had seen and heard! Obviously they realised I must have heard but didn't believe what I told them I saw until the nurse stood on the chair at my bedside and picked up a piece of tinsel from the window sill.
I have never told anyone this since then .and Yes I thought it was a dream but my Stepfather who had been told by my Mother told me I did say that and it did happen. I know many people will ridicule me if I told them and many won't believe me,I have been many things in my life but never a liar.
Distortion of time/ space? Or perhaps a film you have seen and you think you have been to the place before yet it was a place you had seen on TV or in a film. So many different ways to look at Dèja Vù , I have a strange memory as I can not be sure the thing I'm remembering actually happened sometimes I have to verify with family otherwise I might be remembering something I'd seen or heard from someone else? It's difficult to explain traumatic amnesia I think it's called
Trauma can cause dissociation. No one knows what causes deja vu. When I was younger, I had a few experiences of déjà vu. They passed very quickly and we’re not at all upsetting. It was just weird experience that I can’t explain. I did some research and what I learned is that 80% of the population has at least one experience, and it is not bothersome. If it persists and in some people it does them it’s what we call dissociation which is in feeling of being outside your body and that’s disturbing and upsetting and happens to people who have been traumatized. Guess what I was traumatized as a kid and I clearly remember well into my young adulthood and I my 20s very much dissociating so that my brother said to me hey Allan come on you got to get with it. He didn’t understand and in those days I don’t think there was any understanding of what that was but now there is , the whole thing is well. What can I say? Just weird.
Please, please remember that even though we disagree about the Middle East, you are my friend and I totally accept you as my friend regardless of the fact that we disagree about the Israeli Paal fight. I’m using my microphone and the spelling sometimes comes out wrong. I humbly apologize that I keep forgetting your name, please send it to me again. I have a thick skull and it’s sometimes takes time for things to get planted in there. And I’m saying that with a big smile. Have a good evening, my friend.
It's 02.30hrs here in the UK, I can't take any pain Medstead until 0300hrs Oramorph and paracetamol, the last dose didn't help at all. I have a talk with the surgical team on the 21st so hopefully things will start moving again. I am very tired but can't sleep. But I wish you good night for now. I know my experience in hospital doesn't sound possible but it's 100% true, Birmingham Burns and specialist Care unit in the West Midlands. Then Kings College Hospital Via Woolwich hospital in London. A while back now though.
Never apologise for having an opinion. It's what shows a maturity and understanding that two people do not always agree yet can remain "Friends ". I never fall out if I can help it. I find if someone has a opinion that differs from mine, I try to see their point of view, at the end of the day neither opinion is wrong because I understand yours, I have Family that would agree with your opinion and not mine, I am trying to figure out if I have all the information I need to have come to the conclusion I have and realise that some is missing so I'm trying to get more information
