Deja vu - Longest episode Ive ever experienced

So it was either Friday or Saturday and I was watching Conan O'Brien, eating chips and it was in that moment when deja vu began and it lasted about 20 seconds. I probably have deja vu every other month and they usually last 7-8 seconds but this last one was long. Whenever I experience deja vu I always try to extend it... Not that I know how, exactly, but I try by just staying in the moment I suppose. The episodes always seem to be unimportant pieces of everyday life. Anyway, I know many of us are interested by this phenomenon, so thought I'd share this episode. Carry on!

did you find there was one thing that triggered it, or did it just come on?

Deja vu is very interesting to me. I seriously think of the matrix everytime it happens now.. There's a glitch...
I don't think I've had a déjà vu expericence that lasted that long though.
Was it the episode it self that seemed so familar? Just nat the curious cat here.

I get it randomly a few times a month. Supposedly its a delay in the senses that cause it. Im not so sure about that.

I have has some cases where i swear it was minutes before the feeling went away. I have even tried to control it, to try and look ahead to no avail.

That sounds really interesting. Perhaps someone altered reality and you were aware of it?
It is always highly unusual for me when it happens. Maybe it will never be fully understood

Btw Natalia ye I always think of the cat too lol

I think, and I must make clear I know nothing lol
It could have something to do with how reality curves back onto itself like a sphere and the human brain is receiving this data anywhere up to one half to seven seconds before the experience is perceived. There are some good threads on this and 'NorEaster' is well informed of this topic I believe. Not that they should be hassled, but a quick search might reveal something useful.

Well no, it was the latest episode of Conan so I hadnt seen it before (or apparently I had). I remember eating the same chips, sitting on the same spot on the couch, then glancing out the window and even Conan's portion of show... Then i remember thinking about knowing it was deja vu and trying to make it last, then it ran out. Now that I think about, this is only the second time Ive bought these kind of chips.... Maybe that was the trigger.

See I'm a believer in things that can't be explained by science. Some times I feel that déjà vu is a form of a parallel dimension and we have actually already experienced it in the other universe and then when it happens in this universe it seems familiar since it is all connected ....imo...

Or I could just be a crazy cat lady who has no idea

Completely plausible. If the multi-verse exists then it would be a likely cause. Think of it like the cosine and sine waves...

Time is a temporal dimension. It exists and doesn't exist at the same time so potentially unlimited dimensions are involved.
The dimensions are equivalent I believe, to the amount of solar bodies in the universe, or individual unique perceptions (self aware life forms).

We have the three dimensions that we understand and can be objectified easily (LxWxH) plus the fourth which is "time", which we have tried to do without much accuracy. Time is unique to the self aware observer (me/you) and can be manipulated with awareness. Now what happens is that the four can be brought together in awareness to create another unique dimension.

The fifth dimension. This is the universe literally so what boundaries can be put on consciousness?
Infinity I say lol

I have déjà Vu so much that it's kind of scary, and def makes me feel like it is not just a brain malfunction. Anyway, mine are almost always events that happen before something bad (in my memory) so I always try to do something different. Superstitious I guess, but there are times when it is just every day things like yours. I'm generally don't do anything during those déjà vu experiences because I feel like it is clarification that I am where I'm supposed to be. Haha, I feel like a nut now. Cheers...

I tend to think this as well... If nothing else it makes my existence more exciting to believe that.

Dejavu....

The weird thing about dejavu is this --- the event is not important, not trivial.
"I have a dejavu/premonition of a bird flew into the house" and it did, now what ? - nothing.

The event is pretty much as OP said - not important.
Why is it like that ?

Maybe it IS proof that our minds create everything around us and it IS a glitch but not in the matrix sense, a glitch in our minds that our consciousness sees for a brief moment what our minds are about to create for us...

I dunno why it says i posted at ten past 2 its ten past 8
