I'm currently going on a major Deja-vu that has been ongoing for weeks!!!
Gee, JaSin --- you might have slipped/be slipping into a parallel reality
main thing ….. is it good?
Funny you should mention it because last night I read a post by someone who said it had happened to him, or something similar. He said it lasted almost a month. He continued going to work, meeting up with friends and so on, but everything had a sense of unreality. Then he returned to his usual way of thinking, observing, etc. People had noticed he wasn't his usual self but each put it down to possibly a virus
His experience wasn't deja vu though. I read it a couple of times, trying to work it out and wondered if he'd made it up. For instance, he said he used his usual door key for his apartment, but it wouldn't work. Just then a man emerged from an adjoining apartment and pointed to a door further along, to indicate the guy was trying to open the wrong apartment. When the guy tried his key on another apartment, the door opened, but he found that apartment -- although it contained his possessions, was mirror-reversed … for example, the kitchen was on the opposite side to that of his 'real' apartment. He spoke to the guy who'd emerged to ask his name. The guy said his name and added he'd been his neighbour for some time
When the poster returned to normal, a month later, he found he was using his normal door key which opened his 'real' apartment. And the guy he'd spoken to did not live there
The poster also recounted that while in his disassociative state he'd become interested in a politician and had researched the politician online. When he returned to his normal state, a month later, it was to discover the politician in whom he'd shown such interest did not exist and no one had heard of him
People do slip into what are known as 'fugue' states, according to the literature
and Robert Monroe wrote an interesting bit about how he'd slipped into one. Robert Monroe wrote about some interesting experiences and worth the read if you aren't familiar with him
in his altered state, Monroe 'went' to a world which was extremely realistic and could easily have been in existence on earth. While in that state, he saw 'himself' living his ordinary life as a husband, father and commuter. He saw and interacted with his wife and children, saw 'his' house and vehicle, etc. It all felt very real and normal. In other words, he'd become someone else and while in that state he was contented with that life
It's often occurred to me that we may all be living several lives simultaneously, without our conscious awareness. And of late, there's been a lot of discussion about quantum physics, quantum entanglement and so on. I'd like to think they'll crack it before I kick the bucket. It would revolutionise everyone, everthing. And the feelings of depression, confusion, imminent doom, etc. would be seen for what they are -- merely symptoms resulting from this particular time-line which may be just a perpetually troubled slice of existence -- just a dark and dangerous alleyway that our consciousness stumbled into in the way tourists on earth sometimes wander down the wrong street, wrong town, to be confronted by elements of a country or city that travel-brochures purposely neglect to mention.
When I see skeletons being unearthed after 3000 years, I think to myself that they are the vehicles used to traverse this 3D reality. That's what they look like .. vehicles, same as skeletonised motor vehicles lying on the side of desert roads. Abandoned vehicles left to rust and decay, their drivers departed. All they take are their experiences during the time they drove what have since become their skeletons. And now science can extract their Dna to learn about those departed drivers. What may seem to us to be vast lengths of time might actually be only a few seconds in the reckoning of elsewhere
But back to your deja vu -- can you explain what you're experiencing? It must be fascinating. I'm certainly fascinated. Are you able to function normally while it's occurring? Which do you prefer --- 'this' reality or the deja vu version? What are you learning from it? Can you slip in and out of the deja vu state at will? Did you do anything to thrust you into the deja vu state or was it spontaneous? Have you experienced deja vu frequently prior to this? Do you feel 'like yourself' whilst in the deja vu state? Is it frightening to be suspended in that state? Like most, I've experienced it since early childhood, but only for a few seconds at a time. It's always perplexed me and no one (when I was a child) was able to explain it to my satisfaction .. nor since, come to that
Deja vu, when you've experienced it once, is instantly recognisable. You think, 'uh oh, it's happening again'. It's sort of nice and disturbing at the same time. But most of us only experience it fleetingly. Can't imagine what it must be like to spend a couple of weeks in that state of mind. Hope you'll post about it again
