Can somebody really explain Deja-vu?

Question

I have always experienced deja-vu but lately it has been more frequent, as much as 3 or 4 times a week and for a short period I felt it once a day. I feel that it has to do with what I am dreaming but if I knew exactly what it was then I would not be on here asking. Thanks

Answer 1

it might be a tumor

Answer 2

there are 3 types
deja senti - already felt/sensed
deja viste - already visited
deja vecu - already seen or lived through
In recent years, déjà vu has been subjected to serious psychological and neurophysiological research. The most likely explanation of déjà vu is that it is not an act of "precognition" or "prophecy", but rather an anomaly of memory; it is the impression, that an experience is "being recalled",this is false.
This explanation is substantiated by the fact that the sense of "recollection" at the time is strong in most cases, but that the circumstances of the "previous" experience (when, where and how the earlier experience occurred) are quite uncertain. Likewise, as time passes, subjects can exhibit a strong recollection of having the "unsettling" experience of déjà vu itself, but little to no recollection of the specifics of the event(s) or circumstance(s) they were "remembering" when they had the déjà vu experience. In particular, this may result from an overlap between the neurological systems responsible for short-term memory (events which are perceived as being in the present) and those responsible for long-term memory (events which are perceived as being in the past).
Many theorists believe that the memory anomaly occurs when one's conscious mind has a slight delay in receiving perceptive input. In other words, the unconscious mind perceives current surroundings before the conscious mind does. This causes one's conscious self to perceive something that is already in one's memory, even though it was in one's memory only a split second before it was perceived.
There's one theory anyway!!

Answer 3

Deja vu is simply French for 'already seen'.

It means that you have a feeling that you have been in a place or a situation before.

It could be a memory from a dream.

You could have deja vu in a dream.

It probably does not really mean you are going crazy.

Answer 4

A deja-vu in my perspective is when you get a flash back or a dream about something that will happen sometime.

Answer 5

I can explain jamais vu, but not deja vu.
For example I have never seen three people tickle each other in the bushes, and that I would call jamais vu.

Answer 6

reminiscence loss, style of. maximum folk have exercises, events/pastimes they do perhaps as quickly as/two times a month (video clips, woman's evening), etc. those issues often ensue contained in an analogous environments, yet you ignore small information approximately each pass to yet then something gets brought about and deja vu happends :)

Answer 7

This is a very loose term, but I know it is caused by your brain accidentally taking a very recent memory which belongs in short term memory, and incorrectly placing it into long term memory. Think of it as your brain is a computer, short term memory is your D drive and long term is your C drive. You unknowingly copy and paste a file from D to C and then you discover you have two of the same file. Interesting, no?

Answer 8

this is what as known as a deja vu experience:


the feeling that you've already experienced something.

Answer 9

It is a simple chemical signal in the brain. You essentially "short" out the electrical impulses that relate to memory. Even though you have no actual memory of such an event or situation or face or what have you, your brain "skipped a groove" and told itself that it has seen this before.

Answer 10

Brain research indicates it is a feeling caused when information is stored and retrieved from long term memory processing before the same information is retrieved from short term memory. Our brain then misinterprets that information as a past event.
