theyd , could you go into a little more detail about her deja vu experience , as in what she sees ?.
 
Pay no attention to Drac he,s says that least twice a day.

[Aunt Thora]

oldghost I try not to pay attention to either of you two; but can't help it you guys make me giggle with your silliness,

What she see is just every day stuff. Something that was said or done.  I also thought up to three times a day was a little much, let alone every day.  But the child is healthy, smart as a whip (grandma said so), and very active.  And if I may brag a little here she is very talented too.

When you say that she's healthy do you mean that she appears healthy other than the deja vu, or do you mean that she's been taken to a neurologist and had CAT scans done & they came back with no abnormalities?

Has she been to a doctor about this?

[Aunt Thora]

I mean she is healthy and who to say deja vu is unhealthy.  No, she has not been to a doctor.  No need to, there are no symptoms of any kind.

[Draconis Rex]

I think her Deja vu is simply a symptom of a very active imagination and probably a great intelligence too. This of course should be nurtured.
Why not get her to draw a picture or even write something down to represent her experience when she has a Deja vu turn? It might be interesting to see how she see's it.

[Aunt Thora]

any time she is with me she express it to me and we talk about it.  So far so good.  it doesn't bother her, it has become part of her daily living.  But i will suggest she writes it down, and see where it goes. if any where.  Really I think this will pass as she gets older.

On some level, deja vu can be the reconciliation between psychic prognostication and the event as it occurs... I personally believe that most people have at least a minimal level of psychic ability which is rarely exercised and thusly confuses people when it's triggered.

However, as marisol said earlier, the most commonly believed scientific theory with regards to deja vu is that it's a delay between the event occuring and one of your eyes recording what they've seen (while the other saw it correctly as it happened) and relaying it to the brain a split second later.

... I personally think that the ``scientific'' explanation here is an attempt to discredit and disregard the possibility of psychic phenomenon... Who knows for sure?

I can say that I personally say bull about the "scientific" explanation. I experience dejavu a lot. And when I do I see images from the time I last saw it. There is always small differences in either the surroundings or the words said if someone is speaking. There's no way one of my eyes relayed it slightly slower than the other while my ears did the same.

That's just like saying having dreams about the future isn't possible to me. I've had dreams of the future and sometimes it plays out completely different but its usually in the same background setting or area in which the dream showed it in...

I don't like scientist very much.(No offense to the science people out there.)

[marisol]

WhiteRaven I'm not a science person, just thought it was interesting.. I have deja vu every once
in a while. It's not unenjoyable, its one of those "huh" moments.

You know... I had Deja Vu just last night after reading thevoicesofheartie's "stealing the hand of a lightning bolt victim" thread... I swear that I've heard the idea before, but I can't put my finger on where...

Oh, well

Maybe that short story, "The Monkey's Paw"? by  W. W. Jacobs (Saki)

[Draconis Rex]

Never actually read the story about the monkeys paw, I did see an old film though. may have been black and white.

I think I'm still inclined to go with my post about an active mind. To me the mind races ahead of itself sometimes, particularly in the young, and perhaps creates a psychic outlet. Nothing definitive of course, but an idea worth toying with.

[oldghost]

1933 was the first movie with a remake in 2010.
 
So what you are saying Drac is that the mind is projecting itself forward and back in time ?. Or are you that a mind from the past in sending the image into the future ?.

[Draconis Rex]

1933 was the first movie with a remake in 2010.

It must have been the 1933 version I saw then, although I believe programs like "Twilight Zone" and "Tales of the unexpected" did condenced versions too.

So what you are saying Drac is that the mind is projecting itself forward and back in time ?. Or are you that a mind from the past in sending the image into the future ?.

I don't think I would say projecting, more a case of perceiving and confusing with the present, causing the glitch in the matrix. 

[oldghost]

So what about it being like a radio signal that is transmitting on a certain frequency and only waiting for that old crystal set in someones brain to receive it ?.

[Draconis Rex]

Well why must there be any form of transmission? and then again why not? Its something in the mind, some kind of cerebral hiccup perhaps. It could be theorised with any number of explanations, a snapshot of a past existence, a future perception, a momentary out of phase second between the left and right side of the brain, There is nothing definitive and considering what is involved, there probably never will be. I guess in the meantime it's up to the individual to make of it what they will.
