What a great question! I can't say I have had that experience with deja vu but it seems interesting. You made that connection so it certainly could be an important connection.
I also used to have many more instances of deja vu when I was young. Especially as a child.
It's wonderful to hear about your family hitting a positive turn. May you continue to experience that joy.

Same on the Deja Vu when I was a kid but not much since I became an adult.
My old theory on it was it spoke to a memory from the soul and the connections that keep us from visually recognizing our past lives in our current one not being as strong as it becomes as you age. But I’ve also heard perfectly plausible explanations about being in the right place at the right time like CC21 mentioned (also sometimes the wrong place at the wrong time).
My experience with deja vu has been tied to France. There are places in France that immediately feel familiar to me, even though I haven’t been there before. I can’t explain it other than the possibility of a past life or lives there. When I’m there, I feel as though I’ve come home. The architecture, the landscape, the culture-all these are as comfortable to me as a great pair of old shoes. The only mystical experience in France that I can think of is an evening when my husband and I got lost in St. Remy. (That in itself is odd, as I have a good sense of direction, a inner compass. Plus, we had been in this town before and were familiar with it.) However, that night we were walking to dinner but somehow got turned around and wandered side streets and alley ways until we were totally confused. When we finally stopped, I looked up and there was a sign on a house. The sign said Nostradamus had lived there. Now that gave me chills.
@Bluebelle, I loved that you felt you'd lived in France and maybe had a connection to Nostradamus. I remember when you first connected with me, you were so fascinated with predictions. It's as if you'd always been involved in this kind of work.
When I was 25 I spent the summer in London and I felt so happy there, like I'd lived there all my life. I spent hours at antique shops too, loving all the old Victorian stuff. I wasn't so interested in seeing this stuff in museums, but loved the everyday belongings I'd find in antique shops. I was looking for furnishings that felt familiar. I brought a lot of them back with me and still have them. Years later I saw a famous medium in Massachusetts, Ellwood Babbit, who to my surprise, outlined a number of past lives in which I gave readings and taught classes in mysticism. At the time I saw Babbit, I was a journalist and did not give readings. He mentioned a life in London, and even mentioned the name I had then.
@lovendures, like you, I too had many more deja vu experiences as a child. Could it be because we can remember those earlier lives more when we are children?
@bluebelle @dannyboy @jeanne-mayell @lovendures
Fascinating to hear your thoughts and experiences! Bluebelle - that is wild about France. And Nostradamus?! How neat! Isn't it weird when things feel so familiar? I find that my deja vu experiences are often just regular daily scenes, but that they feel much more familiar as if I had been there or done that before. I have read that scientifically-speaking it may just be a memory glitch in the brain, but I can't help but think there is more to it.
Merry Christmas to all who celebrate!
I woke from a dream yesterday morning (Christmas Eve) which was lovely, but I won't detail it here (pending any answers to.my question). A spiritual being in the dream hugged me & announced "she's from the fifth grid."
I have my suspicions of what she meant, but was wondering if anyone else has heard of the "fifth grid" other than thinking of the 5th dimension.
I've only found a few references when researching, lots of mentions of the musical group (who's music I've long enjoyed-hats off to Marylin McCoo), and a stumble upon heartwarming posts from @coyote (discussing the 5th dimension of course) when looking for the appropriate thread to ask.
@cindy Merry Christmas! Your question about the “fifth grid” intrigued me. I have never heard of it, so I did a search on “fifth grid and consciousness” and found this site — which, on first glance, seemed to possibly be a good explanation?

I am curious to hear what others might know!
@cc21 Thank you so much for that link. I had thought that the "pronouncement" in my dream was related to a vision I had in meditation back in the late 90s. I've been so scattered lately that when I would search, I was using terms as spiritual meaning of the fifth grid, instead of using the term consciousness. Several years ago, I posted using the term (Christ Consciousness Grid) as it was something I had seen in a meditation, and years before, I had even posted a painting I had made back in '98. It is an overly simplistic version, feeling I couldn't capture what I truly saw, the grid was much more geometric (mostly triangular shapes). Using the term fifth grid, google either gave me math answers, or fifth dimension (since their algorithm knows how often I search for something using the term spiritual). Your find, along with what I found, was interesting also from the aspect that this is the first time I've seen that referred to as the crystal/crystalline grid given the details of gems I saw in my vision decades ago. The one major difference being that the golden grid I saw encompassed the entire universe, not just Earth. I can't find the post with the painting so I'll upload it again. You'll see that Earth, Mars (I was clueless that Mars was the 'Red Planet' when I saw it and painted it), and the moon are all enclosed.
Ha, I went to fix a typo, and it deleted my pic and told me time had expired. Par for the course lately.
@cindy Very glad that what I found was helpful! It was a really fascinating read for me as I had not encountered something like that before. I love that it related to your vision and your painting. Thank you for sharing that! Really cool that you didn't realize at the time that Mars was known as the Red Planet. I am curious to know more about the gems/crystals aspect of your dream, if you are able to share that sometime.
