> Philbee, Do you also get deja vu?(sp?) I get it alot, and also get that wierd dream thing happening.

Not on a regular basis. By the way, the spelling's more or less right, just so long as you ignore the accents. I have had deja vu before (I can't be bothered with them either) but never hugely. I got stuck in my dream this morning as well, when my brain refused to believe my alarm clock existed in the real world and I got up 40 minutes late. It was quite weird, actually...rather like that time I sleepwalked twice in one night.

My pet theory (I read this somewhere...) is that it's something to do with the wiring in your brain, that when it goes through the thalamus, it is wired to go subconsciously to the reactions before going to the conscious. It'd be an incredibly good survival trait (or so I like to tell myself), because it'd improve reflexes.

I dunno...if it's linked with deja vu, then maybe it gets put into long-term memory first, which might take longer. I suppose it's just a safety mechanism - you don't NEED to know you've put your hand in a blast furnace, provided you can take your hand out fast enough. In this respect, our brains seem to be wired like Apple computers. Hmmm...
