Can someone please explain Deja-vu ..

Question

Okay can someone tell me what it is where it comes from... like how and why does that happen?

Answer 1

At the moment scientists can't really explain it.

However there is a "thought" at the moment that it's a feedback thing.

That is your brain gets input (visual and sound and feeling etc) but it can take so much of a second to process it.  

So lets say a dog is standing in front of you then sits then stands again and takes three seconds.  So we'll say stand, stand, sit, stand, stand is how it happens real time and what you see, but your brain processes it as stand stand stand sit stand stand.  So sometimes in that space between your brain feedbacks the sit and makes you feel like you saw it already...

Answer 2

Deja-Vu is a french word Kind of.

Deja means Already

Vu means Seen.

Already Seen.

It's a reoccuring event and you believe that you have already seen it.

Answer 3

It means "already seen" in French.

It is a feeling of overwhelming familiarity, as if you've been there before or said that before.  For example, you might be riding in a car and then suddenly have a feeling as though you had been in the exact same place and listening to the exact same song.

Scientists do not have a definitive answer, as to why deja vu occurs.  There are several theories.

Here is some interesting information on it.

Answer 6

It is this feeling that when something happens it seems like a repetition of something that already did happen.  Like you've seen it or done it before.  Sometimes it can be very strong.
