How many of you experience it? How do you think it is caused?

It's just a belief that you did the very same thing again, like for example, I caught a ball at the park, right next to the fence, a couple of weeks later, a caught another ball right next to the fence. It's just a repeating occurrence.

Standard Deja Vu goes like this;
Your brain processes information at different rates - your eyes take in information, it is stored, then it is processed. Sometimes, the brain is functioning a bit slower than sight, and your memory triggers because the information hasn't been processed yet.
Your eyes see at a constant rate. Sight however is the process of not only getting the visual data, but having that data move to the brain's CPU (if you will). Visual memory is stored faster than 'sight', in other words, the data is going at the same time to your memory as well as your brain's cpu. If there is any slowing of 'sight' to your cpu, then the information will have already been stored in your memory long before you actually 'see' the event, resulting in a person 'remembering' an event before actually 'seeing' the event.
sorry for the confusing answer, I just haven't had my coffee yet.....

Deja vu...is sensing a situation before it happens ...so when it happens you know the outcome...I think it happens if your senses are heightened for some reason...and you somehow experience what happens before it does ...

Some people think past lives. In actuallity, it's the brain associating a number of stimulations that connect or relate to a certain past person, place or thing.

There are indeed many theories... including "M-theory" that can be utilized to explain the sensation. It happens to most everyone at least three or more times within their lives, so I would tend to go with the multiple universes theory. Still, there is another favorite of mine: It's that we are like a video tape of suspended space-time frames... "holograms" all.... maybe we're like a favorite movie of God's and he enjoys certain parts so He/She will often "rewind" to replay the scene or that moment in space-time over again... and that's when the sensation of precognitive awareness hits us. That's my favorite way of looking at it.

your brain stops for about a split second- thats why u feel like its familar because it is - almost everyone has experienced it because its something that happens to almost everyone - think about the billions of nuerons in your brain that is sending and receiving impulses- at some point in time you will experience deje vu

I have experienced it a few times. Its a feeling of seeing, doing, hearing, or saying the same thing. You cannot really remember when or why. You just have a feeling that what is occuring to you has occured once before. I like to think its to say my life if following the "right track".
