Deja vu ... A glimpse of a possible future?

Have you wondered why we experience de javu? Wikipedia has the expert definition on deja vu, of course ... But, you know what my theory is ... Deja vu is a glimpse of a possible future in a dream ...

You know how we reach the REM stage of sleep, and this is where our brain is actively transmitting visions in a dream, right? Well, that is what I think REM is ... What if the images transmitted by our brain during the REM stage are actually glimpses of possible futures?

So, when we experience a situation which we feel is familiar, it is actually the glimpse in a dream that we had sometime ago ...

Let me ask you, do you remember every single dream you had in your waking life? No, right ... We forget the dream we had the night before ... If the dream was very vivid, we might remember it longer, otherwise once we're awake, the dream that we had suddenly becomes absurd ...

One time, I wrote down what I thought was my dream after waking up from having a vivid dream ... Then I went back to sleep ... The next morning, I read what I wrote ... Needless to say, it was total rubbish ...

But now I believe that the experience of deja vu that we have is actually the dream we had a long time ago ... We just feel that this situation seems so familiar to us, but we can't quite place it ... That's because we can't remember that we had dreamed it before ...

I don't know how to explain it any further than this, but I am pretty sure that deja vu is an instance of seeing a possible future as it is, because we already have seen it in a dream ...

Now you're wondering what the hell am I yakking about here ... This is what happens when I am unexcited by a job, or rather when I dislike a job that I suddenly have "free" time to come up with an entry for my blog(s) ...

It's also because I just watched Interstellar, and think it's a really good Christopher Nolan movie ... The premise is new, but the unravelling of the story is as expected of a Christopher Nolan movie ...
