Some people have suggested that it could be a link to dreams; others (who take a more physical look at it) say it could be a chemical over-dose that sends someone into a euphoric state…
Any ideas appreciated…

Ok…I hate to say this, cuz when I found out, it broke my world. I belive in past lives, and all forms of supernatural things, but it is proven that you have two pathways in your brain…your memory pathway (where memories are stored) and the present pathway, you rneurons sometimes get mixed up and travel through the memory pathway causing the feeling of deja vu.

Good question!8% Voted for by Kevin, ohsweetie970, TrueSeeker, OnceUponABlueMoon.
Hmm,..I am a believe of past lives. My thought on Deja Vu is that either A) In a past life you have been through that same situation or been with that person….or
You dreamed about it. Some people say that when you dream, you touch on other realities so who knows. Good question though! Frankly, Deja vues freak me out!! I always think that maybe I am losing my mind! haha -

Have I Been Here Before?6% Voted for by Alone inside, Crimsin Duality, BrokenSolstice.
Maybe it’s true that deja’vu is dream related, and that we dream what we often feel has already happened. I disagree though. For some strange reason, I feel like it’s some sort of vision. It sounds corny, the whole thing about telling the future and such, but then why is that we feel a certain thing has already happened? This has got to sound so stupid, but I sincerly believe that deja’vu is what we’ve visualized already as opposed to what we’ve seen while our minds are in a dream-like state.

Reincarnation?....6% Voted for by Poemwriter, ScornLily, Second.
My idea on Deja-Vu is that maybe you experience something that you might have done in a past-life. Deja Vu is a strong sence of being familiar w/ something that you don’t recall doing before. Whether it’s a place or an action that triggers it. Thats my theory anyway.

Deja vu the mystery6% Voted for by poetryfix, lovealotbear, ohsweetie970.
Well I believe Deja vu is a way of your brain trying to tell you something or to give you a message. It’s more of a reaction to the familiar, perhaps we experienced it in a dream before or we’ve experienced it before, because we went through a similar experience beforehand, and your mind links it together so it seems we’ve experienced the exact same thing before. But truely this is speculation, its a mystery.

deja'vu6% Voted for by ohsweetie970, Alone inside, Jesusquest.
i believe deja’vu is your brain making you comfortable in an uncomfortable situation. i also think it could be your brain remebering something else but changing it up a bit to fit the moment or changing the person you think you know to who you actually met. all in all i think it is a delusion made by the mind to please your senses…

An impression4% Voted for by ficklefeather, Piscean Wisdom.
Deja’vu is the illusion of having already experienced something actually being experienced for the first time. So I really think that this is highly of a concept on emotion since it’s ‘the feel of it’, like one has already walked into this emotion whether in reality or otherwise. Dreams are related to this perhaps in that level where one has ‘smelled’ the emotion again, or one has heard the song or the general feel of the moment, therefore making one feel that s/he has passed through these bars of time. Like falling into the same trap again.. enjoyed your question.

DreamwalkerVoted for by AngelsLethargy.
I myself am a Dreamwalker (in brief an Inca/Mayan (I think) elder who could traverse the ‘dream land’ and see other events or talk to the dead etc) and I’ve used my talent a number of times successfully, both while awake and asleep. This is relevent how? Because I sometimes see or feel things before they happen, or I dream them. Sometimes a word pops into my head and then someone will ask a question a second or two later and it will be the answer to that question and I think ‘Ooh, Deja Vu’.

Not sure what it means but I have had many experiences.Voted for by stardazer15.
I remeber many times that I thought that something happened before, or I had seen this movie before, or I had been to this place before. I tell who ever is with me and they know I have never been there or whatever. It may mean, your brain is trying to tell you something. Not sure, maybe from a dream I cannot remeber.

A memoryVoted for by laguna-sama.
Dejavu is alot, for me, like A fragmented memory of an event that has yet to happen. Like I remember doing it, but have yet to do it at all, and it seems to carry no relevance until it actually happens, like any other memory.

Potential of the MindVoted for by Sixsiga.
Whenever I have a deja-vu I believe Ive seen it in my dreams. And I believe these dreams are a key to incredible potential in the mind that could be radically impossible to most laws. Deja-vus are what I believe to be the mind somehow accesses time itself and predict the future. So now you have a little oracale in head that sometimes randomly predicts the future and when you actually experince it your mind clicks back in memory to when your brain predicted it far back. The brain has so much potential it may just be possible, like for example photographic memory. Photographic is an amazing gift that is either earn or sometimes just preopened for you. So just maybe our mind can somehow predict the future and maybe even more.

The meaning of it all...Voted for by Dead Kennedy Rolls.
Deja vu occurs when a crack in your brain that stores certain info is being overridden, and thus, that old memory vanishes and the new one, which is being activated as an old one, seems to you that it happens twice… However, I do believe in premonitions, seeing how I have had one on occassion. I think that everything that seem likely to happen, (with no weird additions to the dream, of course,) can happen.
Back to the notion of feesibility, if you dream that you will take a test tommorrow in English class, it is possible that that will happen, and thus, if it does, Deja Vu can occur. But such things as taking a test and then the teacher turning into an alien, obviously cannot happen.

DreamsVoted for by newmiracle87.
I have deja vu all the time. I think it’s from dreams, but if I think about it I can connect the dream to something else. This one weekend I read a friend’s profile and the last line in her profile was always “I love Will” (her bf) and then I saw one day that it said “justice is a bitch” instead of “I love Will” I dreamt that he was cheating on her that night. That monday (Valentine’s day) I found out he dumped her. So I think deja vu comes from being familiar with something.

genetic memory?Voted for by CelineBeforeSunset.
I'm always getting deja'vu. Think it's probably a combination of images from your memory being triggered by something similar but also possibly genetic memory. That's something I really like the idea of.

what if...
I heard this just the other day & initially I felt exactly the same as you ("it broke my world". Then I thought: what if this scientific expalnation is a scientific reading/understading of what our brain does when it is receptive to 'some kind of otherness' (whatever that 'otherness' may be). Just because that second memory passage is working when we get the sensation of deja'vu may not necessarily mean the deja'vu is not a significant and meaningful thing. Does this make sense?November 22, 2005

Thats exactly what I think about most of the scientific discoveries of things on this level. Whos to say that just because the neuron was activated that thats the only reason deja vu is caused?March 6, 2006

I have heard of that too
the idea that a deja vu is due to your memories messing up is just that; an idea. I personally don't believe this because I can recall deja vus that I have had more than once, not only that but I can recall when I had them before.For clarification:
I almost fell asleep one time in a science class when I had a deja vu of me resting my head on the desk. At that time I thought back to when I saw that happening again and I remember knowing it would happen when I was aroun 8 years old.
wierd, but true.
