I was fixing my hair and makeup and everything was the same as it was in my dream. I had a dream of the exact same thing

ahh, deja vu....its quite cool the way it happends

occasional mismatch made by the brain in its continuous attempt to create whole sensical pictures out of very small pieces of information. Looking at memory as a hologram, only bits of sensory information are needed for the brain to reconstruct entire three-dimensional images. When the brain receives a small sensory input (a sight, a smell, a sound) that is strikingly similar to such a detail experienced in the past, the entire memory image is brought forward. The brain has taken the past to be the present by virtue of one tiny bit of sensory information. It is this mismatch of past and present sensory information that causes the sense of disconcertment and unease associated with a passing déjà vu. This theory provides a satisfactory explanation for the physical effects of déjà vu.

These appear to be similar to the effects of mismatch between sensory input and corollary discharge signal information to the brain. It does not, however, seem to provide sufficient answers to individual accounts of déjà vu, where the memory image pulled up is not necessarily from a true past event.

Many deja vus are experienced when we walk into a room or around a corner. This is because we have 2 eyes. One eye picks up the image of the new location and it registers in the brain. Then the other eye sees the same thing and it registers immediately after. As far as the brain is concerned, it has been here before...and it was: a split second ago.

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.

Deja vu is considered as supernatural in science and it generally means that one can see what will happen in the future or the next few days.

When you expeience something like deja vu take it for what it is. people will try to explain whow you saw it and tell you why. They are basing their ideas on their own experiences and outlooks. some people beleive in it, some don't.
I have experiences deja vu and noone can tell me it was my mind playing tricks on me. I know what i dreamt, when i dreamt it, and when it happened. I think it is a part of the subconsious mind that surfaces every now and then.
What does it mean, probably nothing. But it is weird.
