How to get RID of "Deja Vu"

I have read a lot about deja vu - both scientific and religious explanations of it. And as you may internally admit, a person suffering from a LASTING deja vu requires a "remedy" and NOT "explanations" or "causes".

So, does science or religion offer the real remedies of deja vu? I need it. Please!

Up until about a fortnight ago, I suffered with continual/lasting deja-vu.

It all came to a head 2 weeks ago, when it was suggested to me that I read a book called 'The Power of Now' by Ekhart Tolle.

Within 24 hours of me obtaining that book, I had another friend (unknown to the first) recommend exactly the same book to me, It was also recommended in the opening line of a blog I read that same day on 'coincidences happening' and I saw two quotes from it in signatures on here after that. Enough was fricken enough!

I just started to ignore it...pretending like it didn't exist and not entertaining the thought on any intellectual level after that. I started to live in total denial of it.

Then, it just stopped happening by itself once I started to not give it any of my time/importance whatsoever.

It could have had a great meaning/significance for me, like I could be a psychic or something, but the whole thing was just too annoying and totally irritating for me to either pursue it, or indulge in it any further. It was a curse that I am now free from (keeping fingers crossed).

I hope this helps.

It's something that will pass. Just learn to be mindful and 'in the moment' so to speak. In the meantime, you could try reading up on C. G. Jung's synchronicity. That might help some.

"Lasting deja vu" can be a symptom of epilepsy, either as a result of a simple partial or complex partial seizure.
"In partial seizures the electrical disturbance is limited to a specific area of one cerebral hemisphere (side of the brain). Partial seizures are subdivided into simple partial seizures (in which consciousness or awareness is retained) and complex partial seizures (in which consciousness is impaired or lost). Partial seizures may spread or progress to a generalized tonic-clonic seizure, in which case the classification category is partial seizures secondarily generalized.

Partial seizures are the most common type of seizure experienced by people with epilepsy. Virtually any movement, sensory or emotional symptom can occur as part of a partial seizure, including complex visual or auditory hallucinations."

There are medications that have been useful in controlling such episodes.

Good luck with starting the medication.

Just for reference, something that can really help is accepting the feeling of deja vu and exploring it. Being interested by it. Turning towards it instead of away from it, and curiously (and as non-judgementally as possible) 'seeing what's there'. This is an idea that comes from mindfulness and I have found it very useful when faced with things like these.

Another very helpful advice! Thank you very much. Today I am feeling that a handful of good people like you guys in this thread do make a big difference. Today I am feeling that the evil out there will finally be subdued.

Peace, Unity, Love and Faith

Whenever I get the feelings of deja vu I usually just go "oh I've felt this before" and I keep going. I had one such feeling on Monday, smiled and kept it moving. Maybe my quantum state partner had already done what I was doing.

There is no such thing as deja vu.


The phenomenon people experience as deja vu, I believe is the brain storing information at wrong/confusing timestamps. So that you get the feeling that all this has happened before.

Now, if it has happened before but in a slightly different way (if a book is recommended by two different persons), then that is just coincidence - you've forgotten all the situations where something similar did not happen.

Okay, but if this was so why would it negate the experience? There's no issue here as to why or how it occurs---it's still an unknown---or that it actually occurs---it does. Believing, as you do, how it works, doesn't make it go away.

Great. A very interesting approach for me to consider...

It happened again yesterday.

I don't know whether it is Deja Vu, Premonition, Coincidence, or whatever the heck it is, but a scientific explanation would be really nice...

So, I was at my father's house yesterday and we were talking, but had the radio playing in the background.

He does karaoke every Saturday night and was stuck doing a song for tomorrow night. He asked me if I knew of a song that featured male vocals, within his range, but also explored those vocals within his range..

I thought for a minute and said; 'you know what? I have the perfect song for you...Crackling Rosie by Neil Diamond'.

So, what was the very next song they played on the radio (without announcing it)? Crackling Rosie by Neil Diamond!

My father asked 'how did you do that?'...I honestly couldn't tell him.

That has happened to me before where my ipod on random played two songs in order that I had been thinking of. I chalked it up to randomness. I wonder if animals experience déjà vu
