I’ve included some answers to my questions below that I received. All of the responses are shared with permission.
1. How often do you experience Déjà Vu?
“I have experienced it as long as far back as I can remember; as a child, but didn't know what it was.” – SK, Hibbing, MN
“It occurs to me like it happens ALL the time, yet the actual frequency is probably once a quarter or so.“ – Melissa Rae, MN
2. Have you noticed a pattern of when it typically happens to you (Examples: sleep deprived, anxious, using alcohol, etc)?
“Mainly when I am driving or meeting people at public places.” – A.N., Inver Grove Heights, MN
“It usually happens when I am an observer of something. I am usually not the cause for the matter - for instance I will have random dreams and then years later that scenario plays out in front of me and I am always one person removed from it. So one example would be watching someone complete a task, and already knowing that what they're doing is going to work, or not work, or malfunction for whatever the reason. Or very mundane deja vu moments of being in the kitchen and knowing that an orange is going to fall off the counter. I feel sad that they're not all that impactful but they are extremely vivid and are a solid 1-4 minutes worth of very vivid memory.” – Michelle L., Buffalo, MN
“I feel as if it strangely happens when I am in an unfamiliar place. Or that is maybe when I notice it more because I’m a pretty socially anxious person. I am now 3 years sober and experience it more now than in any other time in my life.” – Jenna P., Lincoln, CA
“When I’ve been crying and go to sleep, when I play astrological project or hz music while I fall asleep or continuously sleep. When I’m in the depths of practicing tarot.” – Mara M., Sioux Falls, SD
“Definitely when I am vibing high and when I haven’t had any alcohol for extended period of time.” – L.R., Lake Nebagamon Village, WI
3. Have you noticed you experience MORE Déjà Vu in the last few years or LESS? Was there a year it stopped or started that you can recall?
“In the last ten years as I’ve devoted time and resources to energy work it has increased substantially.” – Heather S., St. Louis Park, MN
“When I began training to be a Reiki Master Teacher, I was working with reiki every day - this was in the fall 2020 and since then, I have experienced Déjà Vu more frequently and in various forms.” – K.F., Amherst, MA
“I have always had random déjà vu moments. No correlation of less or more that I am aware of. Sometimes I wake up with them from dreams. Other times they just hit me when I’m standing in the kitchen.” – Laurie, Y., Appleton, WI
“More deja vu definitely as I have taken more investment in myself to understand energies.” – Samantha S., Chicago, IL
“In my high school psychology class we talked about Deja Vu being a phenomenon where your brain is slightly behind your senses for a moment. Therefore it seems you've experienced this moment before, but it's actually your consciousness lagging behind. I remember a sense of having experienced DV before learning this.” – Whitney S., Faribault, MN
