What I hate is the feeling of deja vu...

Like when you dream about something... Like months and months (or even years) later, you're like "Wait, did I just do this??"

It's like I have the power to predict the future... plain

The psychologist Edward B. Titchener in his book A Textbook of Psychology (1928), wrote that déjà vu is caused by a person getting a brief glimpse of an object or situation prior to full conscious perception, resulting in a false sense of familiarity.[2] The explanation that has mostly been accepted of déjà vu is not that it is an act of "precognition" or "prophecy", but rather that it is an anomaly of memory, giving the false impression that an experience is "being recalled".[3][4] This explanation is supported by the fact that the sense of "recollection" at the time is strong in most cases, but that the circumstances of the "previous" experience (when, where, and how the earlier experience occurred) are quite uncertain or believed to be impossible. Likewise, as time passes, subjects can exhibit a strong recollection of having the "unsettling" experience of déjà vu itself, but little or no recollection of the specifics of the event(s) or circumstance(s) they were "remembering" when they had the déjà vu experience. In particular, this may result from an overlap between the neurological systems responsible for short-term memory and those responsible for long-term memory (events which are perceived as being in the past). The events would be stored into memory before the conscious part of the brain even receives the information and processes it.

Another theory about déjà vu that has been put forth is that of the left and right cortex, sometimes one half receives the information very slightly ahead of the other side and this causes the feeling of déjà vu.

Reap - that is like seconds apart...

I'm talking about like months and months before it actually happens. So unless one side is severely delayed, and/or the other side is accelerated... plain lol

In a process that can involve long and short term memory, time perception can be deceptive to say the least. Ferry's post covered more or less what little I know about it.
