does it mean your life is on track - thats what i was told

The person who told you that is clearly a believer of 'set paths'. Some people believe we have a set path that we are going to follow in life, and I guess they are explaining deja vu as a way of being told you are following the path you should. Other people believe it's because you have dreamed that before and that it's a 'psychic' thing.
Scientifically it's actually have thought to be a error in the memory and perception.
It's confusing to explain (especially as I don't know the scientific words), but basically, part of your brain percieves the situation, before you are aware you have (we're talking less than a split-second!), and then when your normal perception kicks in and you are in the situation, your brain confuses the earlier perception as a memory, and gives you that feeling that you have experienced this situation before, yet because you haven't, you can't retrieve the memory. In reality, the 'memory' you are trying to retrieve, is the situation you are in.
I hope that made sense! I'm sure there are websites that explain it better but i tried!

Great question. I had a conversation about this before, that before you are brought into this world, in a spiritual aspect, you are in a setting with your Higher Power. Your HP will give you a selection of lives you wish to live. For example, maybe you want the life in the fast lane, or maybe a average life, or maybe just a no one. Once you choose the life that you wish to live, you will get to see the whole life that you have decided upon. Where the deja vue feeling comes into play is that soul programs your mind, thus remembering a portion from when you were with your HP, thus the deja vue takes places.

in case you've in no way experienced it, do not trouble. it truly is no longer something particular. it truly is no longer even a delightful feeling. there are a range of theories related to why it may take position. previous lives is one among them, yet that would not truly make any experience. One theory is that you pass out for a chop up 2d, so instantly that it sounds like you've been contained in the exact same 2 places straight away. That sounds accessible and lifelike. i have in no way travelled again in time to the 70's for the duration of a deja vu episode. there is in no way been an overpowering experience of corduroy legwear. Bob Marley in no way reached through the ether. in addition, i have in no way had visions of the destiny. it truly is only 2 issues taking position jointly. I particularly have an theory why you've in no way had deja vu. besides the undeniable fact that it truly is no longer something you ever favor to agonize or be worried about. If it occurs, you'll understand precisely why it does.

I already answered this question a couple of months ago. Before asking any question please check if I ( or someone lese ) have already given an answer.
thank you.
anyway as far as I know :
a deja vu is , when you are not paying attention for a very short period , fraction of a second. You subconscience will still notice the world, but you are not aware of it int this small second. Next you pay attention again, and then you think you have seen this situation before.. in reality its your subconscience that tells you what you just have seen but wasnt aware of it. that is the deja-vu as far as ik now. i can be wwrong ofcourse

when you've seen something before and recognise it... that is just recollection... deja vu is actually a term for recognising something which you should not recognise...
what happens is the part of the brain that says "aha!" when it recognises things jumps the gun and "accidently" gives you the "aha!" feeling when you are not supposed to get it... then when you search your memories and find you don't actually have a matching one... that is the feeling of deja vu... technically speaking....
if you want less scientific reasons... you could say it's a "glitch in the matrix"
or like me... when i get that feeling and I search my memory and find it was in a dream... i attribute it to a sort of ESP... :P

I haven't read anything suggesting that it means something about the state of your life, but people have put research into the topic:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deja_vu
The brain is endlessly complicated, and sensory input (smells, sounds, etc) might trigger a memory that's been hidden for a long time.

Scientifically speaking, they say it is when your brain basically misfires and instead of putting something that is going on in front of you as a new situation, it accidentally triggers your memory function instead.
