Have a think about this question which i sometimes go nuts over trying to figure it out: Which is real--The moment we are currently experiencing, or the one we assume to be in our thoughts which took place at a point in time?

The one we assume is 'now', but actually took place before now and it takes awhile for us to 'catch up'....science has already established that our brains are programmed with a delayed reaction anyway. I think deja vu is due to either reincarnation, or the fact that time is not linear. mail me if you ever want to talk about it...time is one of my favorite subjects in the world, and greatest dilemmas!

Me, I have seen so many things in my dreams becme real...like I knew what was going to happen in the future, but things weren't specific.
At night, we have several dreams, which happen a few hours before we wake up. We know that we have so many dreams, but we can't remember them all. We probably had millions of dreams we don't remember, but we remember a select few. Maybe the reason for these dreams is that, subconsciouly, the brain can make a connection between events, that we could not recognize consiously, to conclude with a possible outcome of a future occurrence, which is shown to you in a dream. And when the actual thing happens, it triggers your memory and you realize that the situation seems so familiar, but you know that it has never happened before. Another reason for having dreams that cause deja vu is that supernatural forces, such as God, allows you to know bits and pieces of the complex future to help you or others when it happens--like a warning or a heads up kind of thing.
Also, what is real, is what we can see but not always what we can feel. It depends on what you mean by reality, I guess. What is real is where you are, and what you can feel; however, in that moment of reality, you can think and mentally place yourself in different places and situations. What you're daydreaming about is part of reality because you are mentally picturing something at that moment at that time while being in a place where you can feel--a tangible location. Reality can be interpreted in different ways, though. This is just my confusing way lol.

I have realized that Deja vu is actually a dream which we partly recall. We have dreams that we remember vividly and dreams which we can't remember at all. But there are dreams which we might have an inkling of, a hint of a memory....and this dream is the dream that actually comes to pass in real life. When it does actually occur, we have a memory flash, we have felt that gee...I have been here before or whatever... This has happened to me quite afew times, when I awaken and have a hint of some memory of a dream, I memorize it, and about 2 months later or so the scene actually replayed in real life, because I remembered not only doing the action again, but also remembered when I had the dream. .......Anyone agree with me? Try it for yourselves! If it really is the case, our definition of Deja vu should change.

The human mind does not deal in detailed pictures of the world around it. It perceives the world at any moment as a schema. The schema is sort of a conceptual picture of the world which has an overall feel and a few expected or perceived details. That is why it is possible to ask the question "What's wrong with this scene?" and hope to receive an answer in line with one's own idea of what is missing or what is there that doesn't belong in the overal setting. Animals do not perceive in schema. They see every detail in a scene and deal with those details independently. We would expect that animals do not experience deja vu. Because, in forming and experiencing schema the details get sort of rounded off or overlooked, it is very likely that one is going to experience a setting which is quite similar to a previously experienced schema. We overlook the details which would distinguish this scene from others we have experienced and concentrate on that handful of details which reinforce the schema, thus making it seem identical to some brief interlude of time we have experienced in the past. If all you ever saw when looking at a forest was that it was a group of trees, you could never tell one forest from another. Our way of perceiving the world falls between seeing every tree (all of the details) and seeing only a group of trees (the most fundamental forest schema). With this way of experiencing the world we should expect that we should occasionally experience a setting which seemed utterly similar to one from our past.

Deja vu is still under the unknown catagory, but they have made some research points on it. The higher your IQ is the more frequent you have deja vu, which would point to hyper brain activity which would lead to the theory that your brain makes the mistake of taking a new visual or feeling and making it seem like an old one.
Also, when people have logged their deja vus in notebooks or something like that, they have more frequent deja vus, possibly putting it into our unconcious to have deja vu, almost like a hypochondriac telling themselves they are sick.
They also theorize that it could be that we register the surroundings with our senses before we register it with our conciousness.
As I said though, they have theories, not concrete proofs.

There is one theory about deja vu that is real intrigueing to me. The possibility that after we die we are born again in a different form (reincarnation.) That would explain the feeling of being somewhere, or seeing someone before, but there being no possibility that you have. Maybe through out our many life times we were actually there or we were in the presence of a particular individual. It is just speculation but a very interesting possibility. Maybe you were Joan of Arc in a past life. Just speculation though.

Seeing an object that you may have seen before, or similar lighting, room arrangement, situation, anything can lead to the common 'Deja Vu" feeling.

I have experienced this several times, right down to what a person with me will say or do next! It's kind of spooky. You even know when the nest turn will be. I have known what a house would look like before I even got there! It could be some sort of ESP.

Deja vu is a misfiring in your brain, where your brain accidentally files a new experience under a repeat experience. That's all. Small mistake in your brain. Happens to everyone.

I believe when we sleep our soul leaves the body and keeps "going" while we are sleeping. So I think that is what causes deja vu. Then when deja vu does happen thats why it feels like that u have done that specific incident before.
Just my opinion.
