I remember my first time well, because it was so bizarre to me. It was in art class in third grade, and I felt like I was reliving a dream. It seemed to go on for several minutes. I went home and talked to my mom about it, and she told me what is was. I just wondered if anybody else recalled their first experience. |

Hasn't this been done before?  |

No, and now I can see why!  |

The chaplain character in the book Catch-22 had a fixation with three kinds of 'vu': déjà vu, jamie vu, and presque vu . I forget what the distinctions were though, and I'm having trouble finding definitions for them on the net. |

Déjà vu: Already seen.
Jamais vu: Never seen.
Presque vu: Almost seen. |

Yeah! I was at my aunt's house. I was about 10 or 11. Weird! |

Nope. I have experienced it though, all the time. |

those are the translations, but the meaning? I suppose extrapolating, it would be...
Déjà vu - the uncanny feeling that you've already seen (experienced) something before.
Jamais vu - the uncanny feeling that you've never experienced something before. (that doesn't seem right to me)
Presque vu - the uncanny feeling that you've almost experienced something before.
Did you read Catch-22? It was a few years ago for me, so my memory is fuzzy, but in the book these 3 concepts were explained fairly well. Great book.
There was a book called The Jamais Vu Papers that I think I read, but I've forgotten the relevance of the title to the book. |

I was just going to remind you about The Jamais Vu Papers. The book is about a woman who lives in a state of perpetual deja vu and is trying to regain the normal state of jamais vu that most people live in. |

I've read it. Your interpretations are pretty close. I'd add a nuance to jamais vu: it applies to things that should be familiar to you but aren't. I didn't want to bloviate. |

I have a strange kind of feeling that I've seen this survey before |

Yes it was like deja vu all over again. |

I was just a kid. We went for a drive in the country and I knew where a certain house was before i saw it. (I'd apparently never been there before.) It's happened a few other times as well with other incidents. Do I believe in precognition? I don't know. I keep my mind open 'just in case.' It's never been disproven either. |
