Scientists have since determined that the medial temporal lobe is involved in our conscious memory. Within the medial temporal lobe are the parahippocampal gyrus, the rhinal cortex and the amygdala. John D.E. Gabrieli at Stanford University found in 1997 that the hippocampus enables us to consciously recall events. He also found that the parahippocampal gyrus enables us to determine what's familiar and what isn't (and without actually retrieving a specific memory to do it).
While about 60 percent of people say they have experienced deja vu, the rates are highest among people between the ages of 15 and 25. The upper age varies among researchers, but most agree that deja vu experiences decrease with age. There have also been higher reported occurrences among those with higher incomes, those who tend to travel more and those with higher education levels. Active imaginations and the ability to recall dreams has also been a commonality among people who report deja vu experiences.
Some researchers also report that the more tired or stressed you are, the more likely you are to experience deja vu. Other researchers, however, have seen just the opposite. They report that the more refreshed and relaxed you are, the more likely you are to experience deja vu. Obviously, the jury is still out about a lot of things related to deja vu.
One reported finding is that the more open-minded or politically liberal a person is, the more likely they are to experience d fast vu. However, this may also mean that the more open-minded you are, the more likely you are to talk about something potentially seen as "weird," like deja vu.
So, that hamster thing that you think is a weird recollection of maybe a past life or something of yours, think again? Maybe you have dreamed something of same exact thing and was able to retain it in your mind. Either way, it is weird though. Well goodluck buddy!

Deja Vu is such a wierd thing I've never understood, I once had a day where I experienced Deja Vu at least 7 or 8 seperate times, like I was in some interdementional loop, wierd. My first experience I remember I was maybe 5 or 6 years old when I was running to the bathroom on a class trip.

Yes, that is quite weird. I have deja vu all the time. Has anyone in your family ever had a hamster. Or maybe it is from a dream that you have had. It can be scary, but I wouldn't worry to much about it. I mean, it was only a hamster cage. Just move the water bottle, and well, if it creeped you out, hopefully it won't happen again. . .

I had deja vu before yesterday, I was talking to one of my new friends that I have not in my life met him before, and I never before also walked with him in the street, neither prayed with him in Masjed, but with that deja vu: I felt weird ... I did not act with my emotions while I was talking to him, because it would be for my like having reaction toward things I have had before!!! so I was cold talking to him -because technically it was my second time to tell him these word- anyway, I still feel weird about it "Sobhana Allah".

I have answered similar before about Deja Vu.
It means that you are on tract in life. When you sleep you take astral trips to the House of Records on the Other Side. Your chart is there with everyones. When you view your chart you will get glimpses that seem like they are happened before when in actuality if was planned in your chart for life.
Good sign as it means you life if right on course.

You dream of the future, and ordinary dreams are not readily remembered; but when the ordinary event in your dream actually occurs, it is deja vu.
