déjà vu = a french expression which literally translates as "already seen".
I have had loads of them, and all of them were flashbacks from dreams I've had. Some of my childhood dreams have come true and in a flash of deja vu i've remembered them when the dream became reality, most of these things that came true were fortunately positive (i'm glad about this as i've had some awful nightmares in my time!)

deja-vu
go read Catch-22 by Joseph Heller. One of the 20th century's funniest, most tragic and all-round best books. On one level, it's basically a big long experiment with deja-vu. It also offers some explanations of what deja-vu might be

2 : something overly or unpleasantly familiar
Hope that helped.

Hi. I believe it is just when your mind senses it has had an experience that it does not recall. Driving to work would not give this sense because, even though you have done it before, you recall it.

To me, de-ja-vu is when you see something and you swear you have seen it but you KNOW you havent.
