can someone tell me what the scientific approach is toward dejavu?

Question

iv actually had dreamed certain events that happened to me,word from word i just want to know what scientists think of this

Answer 1

the science of dejavu is something I really am interested in, and I've seen very interesting articles on it, and also I've listened to some podcasts. no offense to you, but there is a brain disorder that causes people to have dejavu. it's a memory problem so people have the feeling that they have dreamt events or the feeling that they've done something or been somewhere before. here is the podcast I listened to, highly recommended:

Answer 2

there are things more powerful than science..... anything people can't 'prove' is hogwash - so...... I guess if you think of it spiritually, dejavu is completely believeable.... Many cultures for 000s of years believe in life after death, coming back again...etc....

There are too many cooincidences where people can describe places they have never been (down to the medicine cabinet)..... to just blow it off - because we have no 'proof'...."ya have to have faith".........

Answer 3

Wish I knew. Things like this happen to me alot, and it can get pretty scary. I don't think we will be able to understand this sort of phenomena for thousands of years. Right now, I think it's best to just write down your experiences on paper, and try to find your own way to study it. Good luck!

There are a few theories on this. You can read about them here:
