janestarzSometimes in life I have a feeling I've already lived through whatever I'm going through at that moment. I remember the moment, like I've dreamed it in the past or like it's already happened. Often, I'm confused because the scene I've dreamed about doesn't fit the life I'm leading at that time.
Example:
Last week I was working on a pale, blush pink skirt for little dancing girls. At the moment I am working with the fabric and pinning all the seams or running them through my sewing machine (which in itself can become a little meditative exercise!) I distinctly remember dreaming about it.
I remember I tell NoKey about my dream, about how silly it is that I am working on something particularly in that colour (this was probably during my black phase). I also remember telling him I was looking for a house for just me, and that he wasn't in the picture.
Back in my 'black' phase, back when I was dreaming this, I couldn't imagine making something in that colour, or looking for a house without NoKey. I couldn't imagine NoKey not being in the picture, and that made the dream seem even more ridiculous and worth telling NoKey about. Hah, look at the silly thing I've dreamed!
But here I am, working in a store where we sell dancing clothes in all the bright colours of the rainbow, looking for a house for just me alone.
Some people say Deja Vu's are created by neurons in the brain misfiring, creating a false memory of an event because the impulses that are transferring the data about the event arrive within milliseconds after one another. The receiving part of the brain receives two identical signals so short after one another, the feeling of deja vu is created.
I personally like to believe that deja vu's occur to me when I'm walking the right path. Sometimes I have dozens of deja vu's in a month, sometimes they don't occur for years on end. But every time I do see what I (think I) have already seen, something important is going on in my life.
Yes, they could also be stress-related. But wouldn't it be nice to think, if just for a moment that this was The Plan after all?
