Answer 1

Biological psychologists often suggest that deja vu occurs when an event in processed a fraction of a second slower than it is seen. Usually we process visual information as we see it - however if it is processed even a millionth of a millisecond slower, our brain's 'rehearsal' of the image (rehearsal is vital for the memory to be stored in the memory) appears as an independent or separate event, so we think we've seen the same thing twice.

Answer 2

Well I have answered this question before... lol but not here and not for you. It was in my high school Psych class. And yes you did ask this in the right place.... Space is limited so i will give you the short answer. If you want details please feel free to contact me via my email and I will go further into depth.

The experience of something being repeated to an exact nature. There are multiple causes for such and most are correct in saying that it has something to do with the sub vs live consience. But all are wrong who say it is a disorder. It is actualy and ORDER. You will find that most people who experience this are able to do other tricks. I say tricks not to discredit what they do but to give an illustration.

You see people talk about a third eye. Deja Vu is a lot like that. You see with your Sub as well as with your LIVE. It is a matter of seeing something happen in vivid detail by your sub or third eye, THEN it happens two your other eyes. Or ears of course.

If you look up psyhics and such you will note that most psychics have numerous problems with Deja Vu.

You can actualy teach yourself to have Deja Vu.

It is not a problem, simply a way of opening up your senses to things around you.

Déjà vu -- literally "seen again" (or paramnesia), is the French word for when you do, see or hear anything that you think you have already done, seen or heard. For example, if you were listening to somebody talk about a subject and say a particular word, you would feel weird and think that the exact situation has happened, sometime in the past.
There are many different "kinds" of déjà vu: déjà vécu, "already lived through"; déjà senti, "already felt" and déjà visité, "already visited".
There are many other psychological phenomena that are named using the equivalent French, such as: "jamais vu", "never seen" and "presque vu", "almost seen".
See the Wikipedia article below for a lot more information:

"Funny, I think I have seen this question a couple hours ago" as few people posted here before me... De ja vu (if I am not misspelling like you) means a confusion of thinking that something is happening once again as before, but you cant remember the previous time, you only sense intuitively it happened the same way as now, so you have no proofs and you can not explain, but you rather believe. I am a little confused, because I don't know if its fortune or you just play a joke posting this question twice and make them feel de ja vu almost in example form.

Answer 5

Deja Vu, french for seen before.

Yes, people will tell you it's because you ate cheese before bed or that you imagined that you imagined the thing before you saw it. Did that make sense?

Anyway, deja vu is a biggy for me as I've had it lots. Mostly it's been friends around a bin saying "monkey" and then it not making any sense, because I didn't even know these oddballs. Then 2 years later I'm at my new job, looking in the bin and people yell "monkey" and KABOOM I'm like hey, I dreamt that.

But, I shrugged it off most of the time, second guessing myself because it's irrelevent and impossible to justify. I mean, lots of people get it, but probably don't say anything.

Then, a few years ago, I was interested in this girl (it's always about a girl, isn't it??) and one night I dreamt this odd dream that some girl I didn't recognise said "hey, so what's going on with you and BETTY (where BETTY is her real name which I don't wanna say)? So I scratched my head and went back to sleep.

Anyway, one night, on BETTY's birthday we're all out in this bar and we're getting close and stuff and I waddle over to the bar to get some drinks. So SAMANTHA (alias again!!) is at the bar, who is BETTYs friend and I've gotten to know recently through spending more time with BETTY. So I'm waiting at the bar with SAMANTHA and, cos I don't know her very well, we make small talk. Then... she turns to me and says "hey, so what's going on with you and BETTY".

So for the rest of that night, I'm walking about like a ghost, freaked out beyond belief.

Okay, so this isn't an answer...there isn't one... and don't accept this rubbish they say about it being random or a dillusion. It's real and it's unexplanable.

But I treasure that night and I really belive it means something and I still have an image in my head of some random moment I think I'm yet to have. For some reason I think it's THE ONE and I'm dying for it to come true. Well...it's in the back of my mind. I'm not even sure what that image is...I don't see her face!

Anyway, if it's random crap just acknowledge it's there and be okay with it...one day a big meaningful one will come along and then you can tell your story to some stranger like I just did.

Good luck!!

If you go somewhere, where you have never ever been to before in your life, but you know everything about the place, the people who lived there, what happened there etc, that is a feeling of De 'ja' vous. Hope this helps,
Hang on, didn't I write this reply before ???Mmmmmmm I WONDER.

Answer 7

it is also experienced by many epileptiics just before having a seizure
because of this it is associated with an abnormal brain rythom
its nothing to worry about though and does not mean you are epileptic or that you will go on to develope the disease
its simply all about the electrical impulses in the brain

Answer 8

To see gain
You see something. It is recorded in your memory but does not reach your consciousness. A couple of dozen milliseconds later practically the same thing gets through to your consciousness. Your brain informs you that you have recorded a memory of this.
You get the spooky feeling you have seen it before.

Answer 9

There is a belief that when we sleep we can sometimes astral travel (leave our bodies) and along this belief is that we can move forward in time. Like dreams we forget these experiences but sometimes remember snippets of these travels (de ja vu).

Answer 10

the exact meanin of Deja-Vu can be translated to having a feeling of an event or a moment which u might i hav dreamt or thought of ,before.
and ur experiencing/livin that same event in real life at that instant.
