Answer 2

Funny you asked this question. I listened to a radio show on deja vu just a couple weeks ago. It turns out there are many subtypes of deja vu. For example: deja vecu or already lived. deja goute or already tasted. Everyone's familiar with the analogy deja vu is the feeling you get when the situation you're in seems very familiar like you've done it before. That's how I see it too. But the guy described it as maybe you're just reliving it a split second later. Like a bump in your memory. Like you see something then you see it again a fraction later and think, deja vu. Take a look at this link. Amazing how many deja's there are.

Answer 3

Well, i've actually been nicknamed Deja, from deja vu...so here's my guess....a sense of deja vu is something you have seen before. Ever felt that while u are having a conversation with someone, you get the feeling that uve had the conversation before?? And everything seems so familiar, as if you had seen it in a dream..thats what i call deja vu..

Answer 4

When I was a kid, I had a deja vu without knowing it...then I asked my mom about it. She told me what she heard:

When you are sleeping, your mind is traveling to another dimension where there's another you. Your mind transfer into that you, then you are experiencing the future. By the time you wake up, you forget everything happened in another dimension. But when you are re-doing what you already did in dream, the bits of memories connect and that's what causes deja vu.

I don't know what it is exactly, but deja vu is so mysterious and it's very interesting.

Answer 7

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.

The experience of déjà vu seems to be very common; in formal studies 70% or more of the population report having experienced it at least once. References to the experience of déjà vu are also found in literature of the past, indicating it is not a new phenomenon. While it has been extremely difficult to invoke the déjà vu experience in laboratory settings, therefore making it a subject of few empirical studies, recently researchers have found ways to recreate this sensation using hypnosis.

put simply... everything we will ever do in this life, we have already done only we are yet to experience it conciously, deja vu occurs when remnants of our life, having already occurred, permeate through at the time of us conciously experiencing it.
