    Déjà Vu

    Hey, it’s Cassidy. I had a dream last night. It was the same dream I remembered having a few years ago. Do you ever get that feeling where you think, “Haven’t I been here before?” or “Didn’t we already have this conversation?” but it’s happening in a dream? In mine, I remember thinking, “Oh, I’ve been in this place before. Many years ago. Huh, how did I get here?” I called this “dream déjà vu”. Except in my dreams, I never have my hearing aids on, so everything is muted. I can see people talking to me, but I can’t hear their voices. It’s like they’re mouthing something, and even when I try to read their lips, I can’t make out what they’re saying. So, over the years or over the past few years, I’ve had small conversations about déjà vu with people I know. Not the dream kind, but the kind that happens when you’re awake. Some people say they’ve experienced it. Others say they haven’t, or they aren’t sure, or they just don’t remember. Some people think déjà vu doesn’t mean anything. Others, especially those who are religious, believe it comes from a pre-mortal life. Some feel like they dreamed something and later watched it play out in real life. Others don’t feel the need to interpret it and just write it off as the mind creating a memory illusion. A friend once told me that whenever she experiences déjà vu, it’s a sign she’s exactly where she’s meant to be. To her, it means the life she’s living is right for her in that moment, like the universe is giving her a wink. I thought that was an interesting perspective. Whether it’s a little wild or super hopeful, I kind of like the idea. Even though déjà vu is understood to be a normal brain mechanism and not a memory glitch, I like to make my life a bit more fun and imagine she might be right. Whenever it happens to me, I feel like it’s a sign, or at least I want to believe it’s a sign that I’m on the right path, with the right people, in the right place. Just a moment of made-up comfort that the universe is giving me a wink and letting me know I’ll be fine. Isn’t that a comforting thought? Or maybe a comforting illusion? What do you think? Well, I gotta go. I’ll talk to you later. Thanks. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit thelipreader.substack.com
