I have experience déjà vu many times. It's a glitch in the Matrix. ( ;
OK, geeky Sci Fi reference aside, the phenomenon of déjà vu is rather complex, and there are many different theories as to why it happens. As much as 70 percent of the population reports having experienced some form of déjà vu. A higher number of incidents occurs in people 15 to 25 years old than in any other age group.
Déjà vu has been firmly associated with temporal-lobe epilepsy, but since it occurs in individuals with and without a medical condition, there is much speculation as to how and why this phenomenon happens. Several psychoanalysts attribute déjà vu to simple fantasy or wish fulfillment, while some psychiatrists ascribe it to a mismatching in the brain that causes the brain to mistake the present for the past. Many parapsychologists believe it is related to a past-life experience.
Personally, I think it is just something that happens. It's real--sometimes it can be a little eerie, but it can also be pretty fun. I don't know why it happens. Déjà vu is just another mystery of the universe.

i trust it really is a momentary disconnect on your mind. for instance, you would even see some thing with both your eyes, yet for a second your left eye methods it and at modern-day places it into memory. A chop up second later your proper eye methods it, and it really is recalled out of your memory. Your mind would not distinguish between a memory that got here about a millisecond in the past or one which got here about 40 years in the past, so that you get a unusual feeling that you've experienced it earlier. (and technically you've...in simple terms a million/a million,000,000th of a second in the past) ultimately both sync up lower back and the sensation of deja vu is going away. Does that make experience? no longer positive I defined myself nicely.

I've experienced it a few times before. One of the most intense experiences was when I was sitting in a room with some friends watching a movie (which I swear I had never seen before in my life). I felt like I had been in that same spot watching the exact same movie before. It's like I couldn't predict what was going to happen next, but I remembered that whatever happened happened a long time ago too. Even one of the comments my friend made about the movie I remembered her saying that before, but only after she said it. It's so weird.

Yes i have. Alot of people do. some thing that i have deja vu with might turn into something bad and remembering the outcome i do something different so that the bad thing won't happen such as an argument or something.I think it is normal though.

I have them a lot. I actually go through fazes where for like 2 weeks I'll have them every day and then I won't have them for a long time. Sometimes they actually start to freak me out. It'll be like all of the sudden I'll feel like the same exact thing happened like 15 years ago or in a dream I had. It's really a hard thing to describe. I know people who have never had it happen to them.

Yes, several times. It is fun to have a deja vu.

My had this one time and I'm sure it was than once but this time it was strong. She went on a school trip to a city (Toronto) and went to the Eaten center. After their alotment time to go exploring on their own it was time to go back. Every one went a differnt direction and my told them it's the wrong way. They didn't know why my mom didn't want to follow them and she told them it's like I was here before and if you go the way yhou want to you'll be lost we have to go this way. They asked her how do you know she told them I don't know but let's go before were late and she found the rest of the group.
