deja vu aura

Topic: Living With Epilepsy - Adults
Can someone tell me again what a deja vu aura is like.  Are you remembering the seizure as if it was a familiar event or do you just get a familiar feeling without really knowing what it is about and you just can't put your finger on it.  I've gotten these but it's hard to describe it that good.

I've had psychic experiences. I was determined to be "queen" of the winter solstice at our school which you got by finding a pendant in your piece of cake. I spent what felt like months wishing it would happen and somehow I knew that it would. I of course got it out of the entire school of 450 students. I know who's going to call, I sometimes know what people will say before they do (not just yes or no, but random sentences). What happens the most is that I'll think of a question in class and somebody will almost always raise their hand and ask the exact same question no matter how obscure or unrelated. I'll just have the question in my mind and wait for it to be asked knowing that it will. I also knew when my grandmas died before I got the calls. I've played with the idea of my mind being more open to things but have never connected this to epilepsy. Hmm, that makes it much more interesting!

DRAGOOL, I DON'T THINK IT HAS A THING TO DO WITH EPILEPSY. WE ALL HAVE THE ABILITY TO KNOW THINGS. IT IS WHAT YOU DO WITH IT THAT COUNTS, OR WHAT YOU WANT TO DO WITH IT. SOME MAY CALL IT PSYCHIC, I DON'T. I TURNED MINE INOT A SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE, AS I SAID BELOW, AND BOY IT IS AMAZING THE THINGS THAT CAN HAPPEN WHEN YOU CONNECT WITH GOD! I COULD GO ON AND ON BUT REALLY, I WOULDN'T, BECAUSE IT REALLY IS UP TO THE INDIVIDUAL WHAT THEY DO WITH THE GIFTS THEY HAVE BEEN GIVEN........THE GIFT OF KNOWING IS A WONDERFUL GIFT FROM GOD! IT ISN'T DEJA VU, WHICH I DON'T UNDERSTAND, AS RELATED TO E.        

I USE ALL CAPS FOR THE VISUALLY IMPAIRED. I WISH YOU PEACE, LOVE, BLESSINGS, JOY.........JAN
