Dejá-vu differences between intuitive and sensing people.

[lenh]

Ok.
A while ago in the shower I had this theory that the dejá-vu would be different in S and N people.
Also, N people would had a higher chance of experiencing dejá-vu. That is because when we perceive an event (N), we take the whole picture, and not too much the details. So we would had more often similar events.

Any thoughts?

*I can't write dejá-vu correct in my keyboard.

I think your hypothesis may well have some truth to it. Being INTP, I do experience moments of deja-vu where I believe I have had an exact experience or conversation previously. It usually turns out that the event in question was just similar enough that I interpret it as being the same. Interesting observation.

I'm not even going to get into how totally fucked up I get when I smoke weed because every moment feels like I've already experienced it an infinite number of times before. On a normal day, everything just feels mildly repetitive, but not really "dejá-vu" worthy, it doesn't have the same "this is really fucking weird" feeling I get.

I think it is a combination of the N and P that increases the frequency of dejá-vu experiences. Just my opinion.

 

[Chronomar]

Yea probably N + P. I have known many INTJs, and they tend to claim not to experience dejá-vu. Although that might be the "my perceptions are of course absolute and wholly tied to reality" stubbornness. They would have Se as inferior and not any Si.

 

[lenh]

I do think this is directy correlated with perception.
And if you think, Ne would be the best cognitive function.
Now I need to ask an ENTP to see If my theory is valid.

haha, that also happen to me. I don't know, maybe when we smoke weed our brain can't differentiate what's unconscious and what's not.
I also get really paranoid when I smoke it. Maybe it is also correlated.

 

[intpz]

Wow, good thing I don't smoke it.

Yeah, the paranoia involved in getting caught in an eternal loop of repetition is awful.

But it has also it's good side effects.

Paranoia comes from not realizing that what you think you are experiencing is actually real. When I start to get paranoid, I just remind myself that it is just a feeling that will change in a while. I also occupy myself with external stimuli (tv, video games, music, cooking/baking) to keep myself out of my head, where the paranoia comes from, and in the concrete physical world.

The strange is that I bend more to the introverted side. I start to think alot. But the funny part is that this happen in the middle of a conversation. When I am high and somebody asks me something, there is a highly change that I didn't hear it.

I am totaly useless if I try to do something. My friends always ask me to play guitar, but I just can't do it.
I have never tried to tell myself that. Sometimes is funny the paranoia, but most of the times it is really scrary. (paranoia of being watched)

Watching TV on the internet the other day, I and my sister both saw two moments, that were repeated. Freaky.

Worst is when you experience an event that was really close to one you had in your dreams. Than you start to think if that is just coincidence.

I'd like to see if there is someone around here with a theory about this subject.

 

[Hadoblado]

It sounds like a good theory, but it is difficult to test. Also, you seem to presume that deja-vu is experience based, however from what I remember (vaguely) reading this is not the only explanation for it (tho it is certainly the intuitive explanation).

Now that I think of it, I haven't had much deja-vu since I stopped smoking weed...

I've noticed that when intelligent sensors see things and then realise they aren't there, they seem to conclude they are schizophrenics. When intelligent sensors see things and then realise they aren't there, they conclude someone else made a hoax.

I think it is a combination of the N and P that increases the frequency of dejá-vu experiences. Just my opinion.

it also seems to be my "N" and "P" that convinces me that it is NOT deja vu.
