As a Buddhist, I can explain this phenomenon using the Dharma as a reference and my insight as a Practitioner of the Dharma. I'll do so if you'll permit me to explain from a Buddhist perspective.
Tha Dharma speaks of our 'Life' as being made up of 5 Skandhas or Parts each part being disolved at the moment of death. As we are reborn these Skandhas are reformed in diferent measure due to the consequences if you will of our past Live's choices....we are taught that all choices carry consequence, and this consequence is known as Karma..
As our new Life is reformed from the 5 different parts, there is a consciousness which has survived our previous death. This is a part of all humans and is the essence if you will of 'us'. This essence is not physical or substantial and is different to the consciousness of our component parts. This consciousness occasionally has an input to our other awarenesses but is generally overwhelmed by the experience of living a Life.
When this essence has this momentary input, we experience a moment of Deja vu, as its 'knowledge' is generally hidden from our normal awareness. It only happens when our mind is still and free from turmoil and the experience of deja vu is possible with training.
This is one way Buddhists can train themselves to be aware of the different consciousnesses which inhabit the mind Skandha or mind Part and knowledge of it makes then know that we as a being are in fact this elusive and generally hidden and overwhelmed essence rather than the person we generally consider as 'me' or 'I'. This is the Buddhist concept of "Not Me" or "Not I"....which in general means that we are not who we think we are and is a very important concept in understanding why we suffer as human beings....I offer this as information only and I don't consider you should believe or understand the concept at all...
Peace from a Buddhist

soem cases dejavu is when one eye receives a particular image or peice of information before the other ne making you feel like you have seen it b4. But although i beleive that i also beleive that what you dream can happen you in real life so really you are sort of seeing the future without realising it. like the nights that you think you dont dream you actually do dream but just dont remember it. that is a fact. so in saying that i beleive that most of the time when we have dejavu its us remebering our dreams that we dont "remeber lol

it's a mistake made by your brain when it confuses short term memory with long term memory. so you look at something and your brain registers it as a memory from ages ago, so you get confused because you know you've just seen it yet you think you saw it ages ago. thats a very simple explanation. hope it helps.
