I was watching a movie when I began to realize I had already seen it. So as I watched I remembered the scene only I couldn't remember the next scene. Or the end of the movie, so in some ways it was like watching it for the first time only I know I saw it already. What the hell is that?

I do that and I don't have a dissociative disorder.It could just be that you forgot the movie or maybe when you watched it before you were distracted by other things and didn't pay close attention to it.Lots of times I get phone calls or go online while I'm watching movies and don't really get engrossed in them.
There's so many movies that I watch and realize I've only seen bits and pieces of them and not the entire thing so it's like watching them for the first time really. |

I wouldn't read to much into this. I don't have DID either and that happens to me all the time. Same thing when I re-read books.

Thank you Shazerac and RubyRae. It's not something I have had all my life. It's frustrating sometimes. Once I know I have seen the movie, I try to think of the plot and how it ends only I don't remember how the movie story line goes or the end. So I end up watching it again and when the movie is finally done I think to myself, "Of course I remember that movie". But if I hadn't re watched it I wouldn't be able to describe the movie or it's ending.

I'm like that too.I think it's a pretty common,normal thing.My husband irritates me sometimes because he will swear we haven't watched a movie before and then we will sit and watch it together(again) and then 3/4 of the way through he will say oh yeah,I remember this movie,says how it ends and then changes the channel.Grrr!

i had that happen recently, except i didn't remember any of the movie at all..though it seemed a part did remember watching it as the memories of the scenes were kind of there. it was very strange. it was a children's movie. i was completely confused. and the last time i watched it, one of the little's (or maybe more than one) was watching it too.
it wasn't the 'usual' knowing i watched a movie and not remembering as i will be able to know that i watched it and remember something about it better but just don't remember due to boredom or just tuning out for whatever reason. |

Sounds like deja vu movie style, huh? I don't watch much by way of tv or movies but that's kinda how I wander through life in general. Lol.

This is something new for me. I think. Is it something non DID people experience?

Tay[/quote I have deja vu often. When I do I think of it as letting me know I am in the right place. |

like rubyrae said if you read the other posts in this thread you will find that there are others here that do not have DID that also go through this. if you read other threads around psych central you may also find others here that have this same problem but do not have DID.
