Flakes :
well its not from just one memory..
its from many, like i said a dream is a defrag our brain processes lots of memorys at once, those memorys mix together to create a dream, so when we dream its lots of memorys put together.
i can garantee that the OP would of had Deja vu from the dream they described if Nvidia brought out the 9900 and he bought one, the feelings and emotions would be the same as the dream. unfortunatly now that he wrote this thread he wont forgot about the dream and therefore the feeling of deja vu is spoilt.
I never have "waking" deja vu experiences as far as I know, However I am particularly given to lucid dreaming, how does that effect the defrag process when you are at least partially conscious and semi in control of a dream. I think the only time I experience Deja vu "feelings" is in dreams when I recognise a place as being a certain location even though it looks nothing like that location in real life...
Personally I love dreaming but consciousness during sleep is a very slippery thing... Even once conscious to the degree I "know" that Im dreaming, I cant always wrestle events to my complete control, sometimes I can "lose the plot" and slip back into full dream mode, sometimes I am merely a conscious wanderer in a "prelaid dream" some times Im spooked by something in a dream and try to fight my way to wakefullness, sometimes I am aware that something is a dream but morality and normality parts of consciousness are switched off, sometimes they are in place. The mind is a wonderfully weird place to go exploring, I can also write off the old notions that if you die in your dream you die in life, its not true
Ive died a few times in dreams...
Oddly the most controlleable of dreams generally come about early morning when Ive woken up and try to go back to sleep, the entry to those dreams can be "terrifying" but somehow more consciousness and control is preserved in these, Theres a distinct "out of body" feeling to approaching these sorts of dreams normally an unexplained terror and feeling of presence of horror, just at the threshhold to the dream... I think its all part of the chemical effects of entering sleep on the brain gives all these weird effects to a conscious mind, but then once the entry to the dream is over I tend to find myself in my bedroom in "full control" of a dream able to reorder things as I see fit and to control scenes and events completely... Very cool and worth the bumpy entry
I also have a tendancy to "challenge" fears in dreams, Ghosts, demons etc, I might quake with fear as they appear but I tend to summon the courage to face them down, normally theres a weird mixing of consciousness to this as well, as my shout as I face these things down in the dream tend to escape in real life waking up my wife... but I think the sleep \ wake barriers may be particularly weak in my case as I was known to sleep walk in younger years, and to do other stuff whilst very much asleep in adult life :lol:
There also the classic "waking whilst asleep" dreams as well, when you think youve woken from a dream and havent, those can go several levels "deep" "oh that was just a dream as well" thank goodness for that... Now why cant I read this book the words arent staying place :lol:
But err Ive never dreamed about a new graphics card, I think you may need to seek professional help thats plain abnormal
:lol:
