I'm sure I've answered this before...
Literally - "seen before"
The feeling (usually brief) that you have experienced soemthing before.
There are many theories - the most "scientifically plausible" being: your brain is on "go slow" and processes events more slowly - therefore resulting in the experience happening & then a split second later your brain saying it is happening.
Of course it could be linked to quantum physics, psychic ability, something supernatural - whatever takes your fancy - nothing has been proven or disproven yet!

You have a feeling that something already happened or you feel like you had been to a place before. It is a familiar feeling like something you are experiencing already happened before or you met this person or this exact situation has already happened in your life. Hopefully that makes sense. If is a creapy feeling. I am sure you have had it. I think it is just a way in french to describle that creapy feeling wiith 2 words. You have not been to a place you know that you have not yet you feel you have. Just some odd familiarity with it. It is probably just our brain making some connections with some parts of the situation.

The French translation literally means "already seen". In some situations it is when some exact sequence of events occur that you have already seen happen happens again later on. It can also be like you had seen something in a dream and then in real life.

'Deja vu' could be something perceived subdconsciously or something remembered in another state of consciousness such as dream state.
