The next time you get deja vu, you know, at that moment you realize you've done this before - try to figure out what will happen next! You can't! But if, as most people think, you've lived the experience before, you should have no problem remembering what is to follow. Here's why you can never remember what will follow. When we experience anything, our brain records it and stores it as a memory. Then that memory is "filed" so that when we recall it, we can determine the sequence of the event, i.e. was this recent, or years ago? When the brain "misfiles' a current event as being something in the past, it recognizes that event and we feel we've experienced it before. But actually, our brain is comparing the current event to itself! That's why we can never follow through with what happens next...because it hasn't happened yet! And that, my friend is deja vu!

A lot. I remeber one New Year's thinking "This has so happened before, standing in a crowd with the same people behind a line waiting for fireworks" then I think "Deja Vu alert!". Sometimes I think I can predict the future I have so much Deja Vu-or it might be the trademark thing everyone in my immediate family has that makes them weird.

Yeah sure. Sometimes it's something I dreamt so I just think hey I remember this but when it's for no reason I can think of I don't really think anything then I'm just enjoying the moment cause I like that feeling. Deja vu rocks!!!

I usually take a deep breath and experience a very calm feeling. Then I sort of smile because I am pretty sure what is going to happen next. Like when I watch "Deal or No Deal", and I say, hey, the next case she picks is going to have a million dollars in it, and then it does, and I'm not that surprised.
Then I think, did I dream this or did this actually happen before? But when I wake up, my parents are still alive. That makes me sad.

I get it now and then and I'm kind of like the first answerer also I feel like something bad is about to happen and I try to see if I remember the next few things that actually happen, normally it's just for that one moment.
I'm not sure if it's real or not but i feel like once or twice before something else did happen that I thought was going to happen.

Deja Vu, for one. I get that frequently. When it happens I think "I know what's going to happen!" and then I see if before it happens again and think "Should I try to change it?" and even when I try, it still comes out the same! Wierd, huh?
