what is deja vu?

Question

What is deja vu? how does it feel when u get deja vu?

Answer 1

Almost everyone has deja vus. It is a feeling of having experienced something before.

An honest answer would be that no one knows what deja vu means.

But you can help science to figure it out. I just did a google search on this and this is what I found:

Answer 2

Deja Vu is when something is happening and you suddenly realize, "Hey, I've been/seen this before". You don';t really feel anything but it makes you pionder. Often times you will dream a certain a thing and later that scene plays out in real life. thus giving us deja vu( "already seen") literally.

Answer 3

As someone said, it means "already seen".

It's a feeling that you have done something before. As you stand doing a particular action, or speaking with a particular person, you get that very strange feeling that you have been over this before, somewhere... but you know you never have.

That's the key. We can get that feeling when we do repetative tasks. Some of us may even joke about it... washing dishes, that trip to a particular store we frequent every week, or every day. And yes, we get the feeling we've done this over and over and over.

But the times when it is not expected... we have a conversation with a relative that we know we have never had with them, but it seems to be familiar in many ways. You almost anticipate the next line in the conversation.

Or something happens, and we find ourselves in an unfamiliar situation, but we seem to instinctivly know our way around, are able to do things that we didn't know how to do before, but all of a sudden, we know them because we have done this before.

It's strange, especially if you stop to reflect on it at that particular moment. Anticipate is the word that is key here; we anticipate a series of events, be they actions, words or whatever, in a situation we have not encountered before. That is Deja Vu.

Answer 4

Oh, My! I swear I've seen this question before!

Sorry, couldn't pass that up.

Deja vu is the sensation of experiencing again what one has already experienced. There is some suggestion that it's a trick of perception.

Answer 5

i've got self assurance that's a non everlasting disconnect on your ideas. for example, it is likewise possible to work out some thing with the two your eyes, yet for a 2d your left eye methods it and right this moment places it into memory. A chop up 2d later your remarkable eye methods it, and that's recalled out of your memory. Your ideas would not distinguish between a memory that got here approximately a millisecond in the past or one that got here approximately 40 years in the past, so which you get an stunning feeling which you have experienced it till now. (and technically you have...purely a million/a million,000,000th of a 2d in the past) finally the two sync up returned and the sensation of deja vu is going away. Does that make experience? uncertain I defined myself properly.

Answer 6

On the quantum level of the atoms which our bodies consist of,
i.e. in the energy field of the human body is contained the future as information (especially the most probable future of the individual).
In certain states of consciousness like dreaming and being semi-somnolent there might some information about situations in the future be recognised by the ego-consciousness.
They will then be forgotten almost always.
When you then experience the situation, which you have already seen in a dream or in a state of being semi-somnolent, then you have the feeling to have it experienced already once, but you cannot remember when it was.

Answer 7

The experience of feeling that one has witnessed or experienced a new situation previously. It is sometimes referred to as "Remembering the future." There are three types of deja vus:
Déjà vécu: Usually translated ' already seen' or 'already lived through.'
Déjà senti: Specifies something 'already felt.'
Déjà visité: The translation is "already visited".

Answer 8

It's when you see something that you know you've seen before...I get it all the time. It doesn't feel like anything. You're just kind of like "whoa..i've already been here..."
Some people say that it's a memory relapse. I know it's not because I've had visions over the summer and they happen during the fall...

Answer 9

Picture a book. If you read some of it you would probably like and want to move on in the book. The book is like our life, mmk?
So if we were to read more of the book it is like looking on the next page withouut finshing the page you are on.

Answer 10

It's French and the literal translation is "already seen".It is used when you do or see something you feel you has happened before.
