Why do people have de ja vu's?

The theory I am familiar with is the way we index information in our brain normally puts experiences in unique locations but occasionally two experiences get referenced the same way; it is a type of index collision where something seems to be a repetition when it in fact is not but hashes to the same location as something that has already happened to us.

My sci fi theory. In moment of deep sleep we are able to see small scenarios from the future. Once we wake up we don’t remember them until it happens and it feels like we are repeating and know what the other person is gonna say and the part just get replayed.

What is ja us’s?

de ja vu’s is the correct term pronounced dey ja voo. It’s a feeling of having seen or experienced the exact same situation before.

I have those all the time but I don’t know when I have them. It’s weird. I think 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.

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.

It is worth noting that the déjà vu feeling is common among psychiatric patients. The déjà vu feeling also frequently precedes temporal lobe epilepsy attacks. When Wilder Penfield did his famous experiment in 1955 in which he electrically stimulated the temporal lobes, he found about 8% of his subjects experienced “memories.” He assumed he elicited actual memories. They could well have been hallucinations and the first examples of artificially stimulated déjà vu.

I don’t know really but that’s my opinion =P

And I got some of it from the internet =P

oh i see…many people have this situation..usually i get dreams about something and it happened in real life

I think you got most of it from the internet. It sounds nothing like your other answers, best to link a source.

That is actually de ja vu. I feel the same way, but actually what you think you dreamed as I also believe is not that but your brain playing tricks on you.

its the evil space monkeys ;D

E

I can’t. Last time I did it it removed it but I will try…. [link removed]

See?

that could explain how some people claim they know a little about the future
