I raised this very interesting topic about de ja vu, while thinking at Remote Viewing.
http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=17069&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=It struck me that "time" is a altogether different concept while in OBE/Dreams,
than how we see it in normal waking life.
Interesting really, I've read a lot about Astral Realms "akashic Records" where past, present and future records can be viewed.
It just struck me, that Remote Viewing is that type of projection of
a certain type of energy body, I suppose it also must explain Future Dreams - we must be able to enter these realms, sometimes, unconsciously (or consciously) to see Future Events.
Also, I suppose this makes the idea of Parallel Worlds more real, that when you percieve future realities, they aren't exactly Future realities that could be, but a possible one; it's as if you've homed in on one particular possible thread to some point, but it could happen other ways.
I read a very good the explanation of time perception, on some science article I read about Einstien and Cosmology, no idea where though. Hmmm... something like time is nothing like how we percieve it, we see a past, present and future, though our limited reality perception, but it's actually nothing like that. It's more like the past/present/future all exist at once. All very interesting...! I
can only assume while in Astral Projection, we have access to all dimensions, including time.
I always thought that the "de ja vu" effect was something to do with future perception of locales, in some kind of akashic record access type thing in dreams, as if we've stumbled accross a possible future thread you've explored in a dream in the past, and you can't pin it down, but that's why it's familiar.
To me this is what "de ja vu" is we must be unconsciously (or consciously) tapping
into a Future event, and a "de ja vu" is a side effect that is seen in normal life, re-living
some Astral Event, in the future. In the same way if you hear a song it reminds
you of a certain time, or places hold memories of events that occurred there in the past.
These are suppose are different more common types of "de ja vu" of actual past events.
A proper "de ja vu" is a kind of reverse of that, you are feeling echoes of possible
future events explored while in some kind of Astral Projection, in the past which you've probably forgotten. Naturally, memory works better if you use locations, so it's natural that events are tied to locations in your mind.
It also quite possible that a future event get's tied to a location in your mind in a Astral Projection, only to be recalled when you visit that location in real life.
Of course, this raises a question about how to do Remote Viewing/OBE/Dreaming of Future Events/Locales, and reading this:
So "de ja vu" makes some kind of sense to me, I'm just wondering if my explanation of "de ja vu" makes sense to everyone else!
Also, I think the angle that how events could unfold differently by one tiny change in the past, was very interestingly explored in a recent movie called "The Butterfly Effect".
Which leads to the question is it possible while in OBE/Astral to go back in the past and influence the thoughts of someone, hence changing the Future!
