What exactly is De Ja Vu?

Answer 1

It's the impression that you have experienced something before such as a conversation, situation, or visited a place before.

Answer 2

when an event happens that you have a recollection of the event happening before. normally you never remember when it happened because it didnt. you just think it did

Answer 10

it's the feeling I got when i saw your question and knowing in advance how I'd answer it - just as I have in the past and dang if I didn't ~ yet again.

Answer 11

It's just a conscious feeling like you're reliving an exact event that you experienced at earlier time from before.

Answer 12

the expression comes from the French Deja Vu, meaning "already seen"

Basically, you feel as if something has happened to you before or is familiar, when, in fact it's not. A friend who studied psychology explained to me that the part of your brain that determines whether something is familiar or not, incorrectly says that the item is familar.Basically your brain misfires.

Hope that makes sense.

Answer 14

Something is happening that seems as if it happened, but it did not. A feeling of something repeating but it could not be repeating because it did not happen before.

Answer 15

It's the sensation that you are doing something that you have done before, or that something is happening that is happened before.
