What exactly does it mean when you experience De'Ja'Vu?

Question

I get it all the time, what does that mean?

Let me add that I DO KNOW what it is, My question is does it mean anything to get it all the time?

Answer 1

i think its your brain somehow writing your current experiences on some previous date in its journal of memories, and then seeing that it has already gone through this before. Then, its a really weird feeling

but i really have no clu

Answer 2

I call it de'ja dream, because I remember having dreamt something, and waking up thinking what an odd thing to dream. Usually just stuff that is fairly mundane, like sitting with a group of friends watching tv. Thing is, I wouldn't know anyone in the dream, and so I'd wake up wondering who the heck were those people?

Years later, I'd have that de'ja'vu experience and remember that dream, and sure enough, there would be people I'd just met around me.

Answer 3

It is your mind giving you a reappearing thought or a similar situation. Like say you fell down in a brown multch playground on a rainy day. Your mind will only remember the playground and the rainy day. Then say you fall down later in a pavment playground on a rainy day again. Your mind will file the rainy day and playground and make you think it's happened before- because surprisngly your mind cannot remember everything. I don't know if this is what a scientist might call his answer but it's what i think happens. Hope it helps.

No one knows for sure, but everyone experiences deja vu once in a while. Theories abound, from believing one CAN see the future, to "double perception" - you see something but don't register it until a second look, so it feels like you've "been there done that".

Answer 5

As I understand it, it's technically a "brain fart".

The brain experiences a split-second lapse in recording, causing a single instance to be recorded in the brain as two seperate memories. Hence the sudden idea of "I've been here before".

However, having been there before, you mysteriously lack the notion of how the event is going to unfold from that moment forward.

Did I make sense? Have you read this before? :-)

Answer 6

It is a french word and it means like you walk in this room and say you have never been there before but it feels like you have and you know when you turn your head they have a table under the window with this wierd lamp. You look and your right.
Your mind goes when was I here before?

Answer 7

You have memories of doing something similar, even when you don't realize it. It's like being on a date, feeling dejavu, and realizing the guy at the next table has a cologne like your ex. Its only because our senses are powerful, and just 1 sense alone holds its own strong memories. Those memories may not be something we even realize we remember, but our bodies, noses, and eyes do.

Answer 8

It means that you had the feeling you've done something before. Some believe that it's a coincidence. Others believe it's because of the fact that God had our lives planned out and that we saw them as babies. Hey, whatever floats your boat.....

Answer 9

Actually deja vu is something that you are meant to be there at a certain time. I have no idea why, but i have in constantly. It tells me when to run, stay or fix something that needs to be fixed.

it just something the power that be, fates, or god. or whatever you what to call you just meant to be there at that time.

Answer 10

It is just a little hiccup in the brain and probably doesn't mean anything. It is however associated with some epilepsy so you probably want to tell your doctor about it at your next checkup.
