It's called Deja Vu, and is actually a borrowed word brought into English from the French language.\n\nAs far as I know, we're really not sure exactly why it happens.\n\nThere are several theories - 1 states that somehow our consciousness and our brain run momentarily out of sync, which cause our brain to take visual input from an experience but processes it a little later, so that by the time we realize what we've seen our brain has actually already "seen it" (but we're talking at very high processing speeds). \n\nAnother theory states simply that we have been in a similar situation before but have just forgotten, so when we are in it again it seems new to us but somehow just vaguely familiar.\n\nYet other esoterics say that it is actual memories from past lives.\n\nHappy researching!

yes, it's happened to me but when it happens it just feels weird and really really different. I wonder if it's a completely different feeling than what we normally feel everyday. they should have a name for it besides de ja vu. its just weird. haha.

The experience of it.\n\nI know this because I have experienced it.\n\nHaven't you?

Sounds like Déja Vu.\n\nIt has been speculated by some that this results from one side of the brain processing information a split second after the other. Thus, one part of your brain experiences an event, and it is recorded there. Then immediately the other side "experiences" the same thing, and it recognizes it as something that has already happened, because it "remembers" what the other side experienced just previous to this.

do you mean something like.... Why has this happened?  How has this happened?  What has happened?  The words meaning similar things and can be interchanged?

I'm always getting deja vu, it's a really odd sensation. Sometimes I'm not sure if I have dreamt about a place before I visit it, it's a really surreal feeling!

Aparently something because this happened to me.\n\nSeveral years ago I had an unusual experience concerning an uncle, a distant relative who lived over a thousand miles away. \n\nWhile driving my car I suddenly felt the unmistakable presence of this relative that I hardly even knew. He was more like someone I had heard about than someone I knew. It was very strange; it felt as though I was momentarily lifted right out of my physical body. I seemed to be suspended somehow beyond space and time, bathed in a love so intense It felt like I could have just disappear into it at any moment if It would have let me. It only lasted for a few seconds, but it seemed to last forever at the same time. I realize how crazy this must sound. The experience was so strong that at first I was afraid I was loosing my grip on reality. I finally managed to chalk it up to an over active imagination.\n\nThree days later I got a call from my aunt telling me that this uncle we are talking about had gone into a coma and died the day I had the experience. It felt like ice water had been poured down my back when she told me this. I had lost any real ideas of God or faith and had become somewhat of an atheist. Needless to say this experience caused me to rethink some of the conclusions I had come to. \n\nI feel blessed to now understand that even in our darkest confusion something loves us so much that it went out of its way to assist me and bring me back to a state of absolute certainty about Gods love for us.\nDuring the experience it seemed like there was a vast amount of information that I was somehow allowed access to. One thing that I came away from this experience understanding beyond any shadow of a doubt was that any Idea that God is unhappy with us or would judge or allow us to be punished for any reason is simply impossible. \n\nI can’t explain the love I felt with words. They simply don’t make words big enough or complete enough to do this. The only way I can begin to convey this love to you is to say that there was simply nothing else there. Nothing but love. No hint of judgment, no displeasure of any sort. It is as though God sees us as being as perfect as we were the day we were created. It is only in our confused idea of ourselves that we seem to have changed.\n\n I hope this is of some help to you. Good luck. Love and blessings. \n\nYour brother don

Oh yeah, I've had those deja' vu instances many times. Especially if it happens to be an older place, maybe a place with some history or legend behind it.  Sometimes it's just nothing more than a coincidence, other times, who knows a leap into something that might have occurred in your past?\nI don't think anyone really knows or understands fully what cases those feelings. It could be something you have lived before if you believe in reincarnation and past lives, it could be that you saw that place or had been to that place when you were younger and only by seeing it or going to it again did it bring back that past memory from your childhood.\n\nMe I believe in Past lives and reincarnation. But that's just me and my opinion on things.

I don't know, sometimes that happens with my mom and myself. Like a very vivid dream that makes no sense until a while (sometimes a very long while) later it happens and seems totally normal until you get this rush of deja vou. Or a stream of thoughts that doesn't seem to make any sense, sometimes even about ppl you have yet to meet, you dismiss atthe time, then you have it again later just in daily life and it is like, whoa, that was weird.

Its a feeling when a person feels that they accomplsihed something

yeah i broke it\n\nI figured out in my mind that it was simply a preconceived event played out in your mind like a dream you had already had.  So that if the event were to occur you feel as though you have already experienced it, so I took up a challenge and told myself the next time it happened i would make sure to do not as i remembered.\n\nIndeed I did, in spring 2004, while at work I had deja vu and behold i was preparing to talk to someone, so i said i just own't, and walked on, the feeling went away in an instant and i have not had deja vu since.\n\nIf i do, i'll do the same thing.  If you wonder then why you don't constantly have it, it is because it is a specific event, not generic like saying hello to someone, but like all the pieces of a chess set have to be laid out in a perfect way, that your mind can see ahead the next few moves.

that is a good question have you ever saw someone you love with someone else or they said something that makes you feel like you're on a roller coaster or your heart is going to beat out of your chest, or been so mad you actually feel the heat come from your body and you adrenaline going crazy, that is feeling. At the time you never go through the process of thinking "that hurt i am going to feel sick now or i am mad"  i think feeling is more of a non planned event that happens quickly and thinking is more rational, and patient.

To further understand myself, I introspect my feelings.  \n\n(I never knew "introspect" was a word until I looked it up!)

deja vu, is french, accepted into the american english language...literally translates (already seen).... usually means when you felt that you lived the situation once already. (or seen it coming)

It's called "Deja vu". It is when the neurochemical pathways responsible for the sensation of memory recall are triggered randomly; and so what is currently happening to you FEELS like a memory, but actually isnt. \n\nEveryone gets it.

Deja vu....\n\nIn the movie matrix, I think they called it a glitch.
