"Latest theory I've read is that there's a little misfire in the part of your brain that stores memory, and that you get an impulse that tells you that the experience you just had was coming from your long-term memory."
thats no fun, im sticking with the glitch in the matrix, more interesting.

In a nutshell - the information from the eye reaches the brain faster than it can be processed. As the brain is 'catching up' we get this strange feeling.
- Nothing to do with past lives
- Nothing to do with re-living the our lives over again and getting that 'I HAVE done this before'
- No, you haven't been taken magically out of your normal life gone off on an adventure where you defeated a dragon and saved a kingdom, then MERLIN sent you back to your body a few seconds out.
- Nothing to do with a cross over in a parallel world either.

It seems that the neurological problem you mention is the culprit. You may have been born with it and it lies there dormant until something triggers it.
Deja vu is a feeling. You have not normally seen whatever it was before, but you feel that you have.
There was a period whenever I got on a bus that I saw the huts of an army camp and heard words I could not understand.
Teachers often mistake this for daydreaming and do not understand that the child is simply 'absent', even though sitting there.

Lots of possibilities, but
For me, my deja-vu's are related to critical junctions of choice later realized in the real world and prescient of future localities.
I have very good dream memory and I am a lucid dreamer -- I often take control of my dreams.
A particularly horrid dream as a child was very traumatic, and therefore well remembered. It was related to actual incidents that I later experienced 20 years later. It was precise even down to the tin roof of the house that was presented in the original child-dream. I had never been on a tin roof as a child, and until I did so as an adult, there was no reference point. When as an adult I was on this particular roof, the old dream suddenly recurred and the whole dream came into context along with the decisions at the adult juncture, and that childhood dream-trauma related to the tin-roof shack were suddenly revealed. But, as an adult, I was able to re-work the bad dream and make it good.
Deja-vu is real.

Definition: The phrase "deja vu" is French for "already seen" and is used to refer to when a person experiences the feeling that they have seen, experienced, or been someplace before even when they are sure that that is not really true. So, for example, a person who arrives at a new city they have never before visited may experience deja vu on a street, experience the intense feeling that they have been on that street at some point in the past.
Some people who believe in psychic phenomena also believe that the experience of deja vu is evidence of those phenomena. Some may claim that deja vu occurs because a person once saw such a street before remotely, but without realizing it. Others may claim that deja vu is a result of reincarnation - in a past life, the person *did vist that city and that street before.

Well deja vu's are common but not that often. I get them some times too 0.0. But I only picture the street/building/place in my head for a bit. But I believe it to be just my mind playing tricks on me or something. I tell myself " I've never been here, and I just memorized this place. So no Deja Vu."

I think everyone has a small bit of psychic ability in them seeing into the future without visibly knowing you did.
Some ppl just have more than others, thus psychics.
HOPE IM NOT CRAZY LOL

Damn - you know about the whole Matrix thing too...
If you see that Black Cat again, it means that the Agents have you surrounded - and you'll have to escape through the walls!

deja vu can be simulated, or real. it expresses a hyper reality that cannot be mistaken in real life other than dreams.
it is a phenomenon based solely on coincidental events, circumstances.
it can occur through devising, and create a sudden "arousal". some
