<>Deja vu is pretty much recognized as a condition of "instant memory." We see (or hear, taste, or smell) something that we know we have not experienced before, but our brain does an "instant replay" of the experience as a memory, causing us to believe we have actually experienced it before.
Bad dreams or nightmares -probably- have little or nothing to do with what we have eaten. Like any dream, nightmares arise from sensory stimuli (audio, visual, memories, possibly even olfactory (possibly leading to the idea that what we ate influenced our drems; after all, we smell what we eat and smells can be one of the strongest memory triggers)). Not a lot is known about how particular dreams (good or bad) form, so the actual answer to "why do we have bad dreams?" cannot be determined.

The term déjà vu is French and means, literally, "already seen." Those who have experienced the feeling describe it as an overwhelming sense of familiarity with something that shouldn't be familiar at all. Say, for example, you are traveling to England for the first time. You are touring a cathedral, and suddenly it seems as if you have been in that very spot before. Or maybe you are having dinner with a group of friends, discussing some current political topic, and you have the feeling that you've already experienced this very thing -- same friends, same dinner, same topic The phenomenon is rather complex, and there are many different theories as to why déjà vu happens.
Déjà vu has been firmly associated with temporal-lobe epilepsy. Reportedly, déjà vu can occur just prior to a temporal-lobe epileptic attack. People suffering an epileptic seizure of this kind can experience déjà vu during the actual seizure activity or in the moments between convulsions.
Since déjà vu occurs in individuals with and without a medical condition, there is much speculation as to how and why this phenomenon happens. Several psychoanalysts attribute déjà vu to simple fantasy or wish fulfillment, while some psychiatrists ascribe it to a mismatching in the brain that causes the brain to mistake the present for the past.

I had De Ja vu before, I think everyone has. Where I feel like I been in that place before but for some reason I can't remember when, but I just know that I have actually visited.
Sometimes food can make you have bad dreams just depends on what foods, so you might to see what foods affect your dreams.

First of all you're now not insane. I get one each and every night time and so they simplest occur for no less than 5 to 10 seconds. So you'll be able to say I'm a bit of bizarre. At least you do not need peers who arise to you pronouncing " Did it occur but?!" I might simplest be twelve however having goals like that each and every night time may be very "heavy" for a tender woman like me.
