Most people have experienced a déjà vu moment at least once in their lifetime, some might experience them on a more regular basis. It can be an eerie feeling, some people might even get an overwhelming sick feeling while its taking place…I happen to be one of those people. For some people the déjà vu moment is caused when they experience a similar situation or are in a similar location as they were in once before.

What does déjà vu mean? Its a French word that translate to “already seen”.

There have been a few studies done on the subject of déjà vu verses premonitions. Some in the scientific community say it’s not possible to predict the future or have an experience it before it actually happens, while others in the Spiritual community would disagree.

I’m not sure there is a way to ‘make’ a déjà vu moment spontaneously happen, or even recognize that you’re having a premonition until it unfolds. For me, it started when I was a child. My first memory of having a déjà vu moment took place when I was in middle school. I can still remember it clearly, I think this was due to the fact that I became sick to my stomach and I didn’t understand what was happening. The whole experience left a lasting impression, one that has stuck with me all these years. Since then I have a lot of déjà vu moments/premonitions, some are benign while most have had terrible outcomes, i.e. the passing of my father, the passing of my daughter, the forest fire rolling into town and burning down hundreds of homes, etc. I have learned that when I get a ‘knowing of information’ and then experience a panic feeling that won’t leave, it means I need to act quickly, that a serious and even a dangerous situation is about to take place. I now look at the ability as a gift, but unfortunately I am not able to stop most of the events from happening. 

If you experience any déjà vu moments, write them down. Start documenting your experiences, you might find a pattern:

  • how they come to you
  • what you’re doing when they did
  • the type of outcome
  • how long between the déjà vu moment and the event unfolding, etc. 

It might provide you with insight as whether they are just déjà vu moments verses premonitions.
