I wouldn't say that this was unusual as I occasionally experience this. Maybe it would be unusual if I hadn't found out what it was and that it wasn't only me who have experience these weird phenomenas. Only after watching a TV show (who says it has nothing to do with learning!) I learnt what I was that creepy feeling was.
Déjà vu , if you do not know is the experience of feeling sure that one has witnessed or experienced a new situation previously (an individual feels as though an event has already happened or has happened in the recent past), although the exact circumstances of the previous encounter are uncertain. (check wiki if you want the full article). Suddenly, you will realise that you have experienced this before just that you do not know how to explain it. If not even one person has had this, I would really get goosebumps and freak out. Please say you have =).
Today , I realised that it was happening to me when I saw a scene of a car crash while I was taking bus 55. The exact likeness of the the scenes kind of made my hair stand. Then, the memories came back to me. I vividly remembered what I had seen , maybe a week ago? It's hard to remember the exact time of the happening when you don't know it will happen again. I was seated at the same seat, right at the back and on the left side. Usually, when I experience these events, I am alone and they were simple. Walking down the corridor in my house and unlocking the doors to my house; they may seem insignificant as I do these actions daily but it is the likeness of these events that actually scares me. I occasionally get scenes of events that include me and other parties but those are really seldom.
So, back to the present. The car crash was also as what I had seen in my vision (it feels weird to say vision; makes me feel like a prophet or psychic). 2 cars had collided in a head-on crash at the junction of Eunos Primary. Black smoke was erupting from both their bonnets and an ambulance was parked next to the site. The cars looked more like scrap metal in a junkyard. 3 men and a small child were being being stretchered into the ambulance. I could not look at the damage caused by accidents and turned back into the bus. Already knowing what I was experiencing, it was no longer a surprise and I rested my head on the window and thought about the events.
I wondered what the surprise was in life when I could see these events beforehand. When you think that you are the only one in the world doing that weird something, you will feel relieved when you see others like you. On a lighter note, there are some funny things that you do which makes you feel like you are the odd one out. If you have a Facebook account, you can check the 'Random' Groups and you are bound to find some actions that you thought only you did. You will be quite surprised by what you find.
However, I do not feel that alone. I remembered clearly in Primary 5, a teacher asked the class about their déjà vu experiences , there were many different accounts , even from the teacher himself! It was then that I realised that many other people have come across these events.
