imagination brings you somewhere else

i think you mean de ja vu??? i experienced this so many times, it kinda make me feel very emo at times, sad one moment, very happy the next.. but i have always loved de ja vu, it made my brain work really hard trying to work out what the memories were about and where things were and when it happened, whether it did happen or not.. nice..

I get that a lot, especially when I take the back way home from work, because it is all tree lined and forest-y which reminds me of home. Smells do it for me more than visuals though. If I smell certain things, it takes me right back to the first or best time of my life that that sent was a part of. Like peach cobbler. When ever I smell peach cobbler I have catch myself from calling from my grandmother, 'cos she always made the best peach cobbler.

I get that sometimes. :) actually some people have it more often then others. there was a study done in 60s when they were photographing aura. they would photograph aura of a person who is a dreamer and is always somewhere else in his mind and on the photograph there is almost no aura. when the same person had to concentrate aura would appear. So in a way people can really be part somewhere else i guess.

Yes, I think I know what you mean, it is a bit like deja vu. Some places might resemble other places structurally or environmentally, that you feel like you have actually been there before. I suppose it is just our memories coming to the surface, because certain things about another place remind us so much of somewhere we have already been. Sometimes memories you didn't even know you had can come back to you because of something you see. It is so strange how such a small similarity trigger can affect you like this. Of course sometimes you just get the feeling of dej vu without automatically linking it to a previous memory. A day or two later it then just pops in your head why you felt that way at the time, as you suddenly get the memory rush back to you.
