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.

That odd feeling one occasionally gets when they are experiencing something, being in a place or meeting a person, or having a conversation for the first time but it feels like one has had the identical experience before.

When you are doing something or seeing something and feel its happened before. I haven't had that in a long time come to think of it!

this is a feeling when entering a situation or a room that you have been there before. I have had it and it is unsettling.
