how come people experience deja vu?

Question

like idk deja vu is really weird to me how do people experience it

Answer 1

The term déjà vu is French and means, literally, "already seen." The term was applied by Emile Boirac (1851-1917), who had strong interests in psychic phenomena.

Déjà vu is an uncanny feeling or illusion of having already seen or experienced something that is being experienced for the first time.

Since déjà vu occurs in individuals with and without a medical condition, there is much speculation as to how and why this phenomenon happens: If we assume that the experience is actually of a remembered event, then déjà vu probably occurs because an original experience was neither fully attended to (we wern't paying attention or fully awake) nor elaborately encoded in memory. One has simply forgotten most of the original experience because one was not paying close attention the first time.If so, then it would seem most likely that the present situation triggers the recollection of a fragment from one's past. The experience may seem uncanny if the memory is so fragmented that no strong connections can be made between the fragment and other memories.

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. Thus, the feeling that one has been there before is often due to the fact that one has been there before. The original experience may even have occurred only seconds or minutes earlier.

On the other hand, the déjà vu experience may be due to having seen pictures or heard vivid stories many years earlier. The experience may be part of the dim recollections of childhood.

However, it is possible that the déjà vu feeling is triggered by a neurochemical action in the brain that is not connected to any actual experience in the past. One feels strange and identifies the feeling with a memory, even though the experience is completely new.

Obviously, there is more investigation to be done.

There is plenty of research on the net..just google deja vu!

Answer 2

Yes and lately about you. A strong feeling you would ask a question something like: You know, that weird feeling that you've been here before, experienced the same feelings, seen the same things, maybe even know what's coming next? Yes and lately about you. A strong feeling you would ask a question something like: You know, that weird feeling that you've been here before, experienced the same feelings, seen the same things, maybe even know what's coming next? My feeling is that in the future you will ask another (maybe even many) question and ask people to star them. That is my prediction.

I believe it is because we have consciously or subconsciously played through a scenario in our mind before, and it is a bit of a shock when we see a figment of our imagination coming to life before our eyes.
