It's the eerie feeling that you have experienced something before. Say you walk into a house that you have never seen before, yet it seems familiar.

Deja vu is the recognition that you've just chosen "the most likely chance event occurence" along a particular doorpath of choices made by individuals. That's why people feel like they've met someone before even though they "know" they haven't or been somewhere before even though they know it's the "first time" they've ever been there. Deja vu can be a good feeling, if you know you've made a good choice in God's eyes. It can also be a bad sinking feeling if you've made a bad choice. Just because a choice is the most likely chance event occurence doesn't mean it's always going to be the best one to choose. Sometimes the least likely chance event occurence is the best choice for you.

It's when you experience events that are exactly the same more than once. (or at least, you believe you are experiencing it more than once) ie. In the Matrix, when Neo sees the cat purring, then walking away - then
a split second later, sees the same cat doing the exact same thing.

Scientifically, de ja vu is believed to occur when your brain processes the same stimuli twice, so it gives you the impression that you've
already experienced the event before.

"The term "déjà vu" (French for "already seen", also called paramnesia) describes the experience of feeling that one has witnessed or experienced a new situation previously. The term was created by a French psychic researcher, Émile Boirac (1851–1917) in his book L'Avenir des sciences psychiques (The Future of Psychic Sciences), which expanded upon an essay he wrote while an undergraduate French concentrator at the University of Chicago. The experience of déjà vu is usually accompanied by a compelling sense of familiarity, and also a sense of "eerieness," "strangeness," or "weirdness." The "previous" experience is most frequently attributed to a dream, although in some cases there is a firm sense that the experience "genuinely happened" in the past."

de ja vu is when somthing happens and you feel like it has happened before. for example, you have a dream about somthing, like a place, and then when you wake up and go through town, you see the place you dreamed about.

It's the French "deja vu" where the word "deja" means "already" and "vu" is the past tense of see--already seen.

"Deja" is the ordinary word "already" as in "I am hungry already." (J'ai faim deja.)

When you're awake the things you think
Come from the dreams you dream.
Thought has wings and lots of things
Are seldom what they seem.

Sometimes you think you've lived before
All that you live today.
Things you do come back to you
As if they knew the way.
Oh, the tricks your mind can play.

It's when you are in the middle of doing something and suddenly you get this really funny feeling that everything that just happened has already happened at another time. It's really a weird feeling and you will know it if you ever feel it.
