Deja vu DEJA VU
Dreams are to be forgotten, but can we really forget them, even if we think we do not remember them?
Deja vu can be an experience closely related to these apparently forgotten dreams. Occasionally we have some vague idea, perhaps mat we have been to a place before and yet we are certain that this is not possible. This vague familiar feeling of recognition is called deja vu. How do we explain this? The answer lies in the many, many dreams that we dream every night but which we apparently forget.
Memory is one of those interesting psychological myths that we are still trying to understand. All of us have had the embarrassing experience of meeting an old friend that we have not contacted for years, and fail to remember his name. You try to call him by his name, but fail to remember; you know it starts with J, one of those-John, James, or Jack. The name is at the tip of your tongue but it just does not come. Finally he gives you his business card and tells you to call him one day. After he leaves, you look at the card and recognize his name immediately. It is a name you know-James Bond. Memory works in three stages:
* Registration-information is passed on to the memory bank
* Retention-this information is stored in the memory bank
* Recall-retrieval of this information, when required, from the memory bank.
Whether the information is remembered or not depends on the ability to recall. Inability to recall does not mean we have forgotten about it. Given the right cue, we may begin to remember more and more. Of course, as in the above case, looking at the business card and recognizing James Bond implies you have not really forgotten him.
Our memory bank is bombarded with a variety of information from the dreams we have night after night .We never seem to remember the dreams, and as far as we are concerned they are not in our memory. However, one day we visit a place we have never been before. This place has some features similar to those in one of our forgotten dreams. We recognize some of the similar features, which gives us the feeling that we know the place and have been there before. This is deja vu.
