Does anyone get deja vu? What do you think it means?

It's just a glitch in the Matrix.   Ignore it and it will go away.

The next time you get deja vu, you know, at that moment you realize you've done this before - try to figure out what will happen next! You can't! But if, as most people think, you've lived the experience before, you should have no problem remembering what is to follow. Here's why you can never remember what will follow. When we experience anything, our brain records it and stores it as a memory. Then that memory is "filed" so that when we recall it, we can determine the sequence of the event, i.e. was this recent, or years ago? When the brain "misfiles' a current event as being something in the past, it recognizes that event and we feel we've experienced it before. But actually, our brain is comparing the current event to itself! That's why we can never follow through with what happens next...because it hasn't happened yet! And that, my friend is deja vu!

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.

I believe de ja vu is directly tied to dreams as well. It seems I will dream of a setting I've never been to before and then later on I find myself in that same exact setting I had dreamed. I say to myself, wow de ja vu, and thinking back I realize it was from a dream. Sometimes the dream seemed to match the experience 100%. Other times I question the accuracy. However, when the de ja vu happens, most of the time it gives me the chills and when I realize I had dreamed of this new place before, and yet I was seeing it in reality for the first time it is a powerful sensation. Sometimes I have to stand there and just take in the setting for a few minutes before I can move on. Many times when de ja vu's occur for me, i am experiencing a new unique experience in my life, like a signal that I'm turning the  page of a story book except that the book is my life.

Yes. I think it's because we were in similar-looking places or situtations in previous times and it's like that thing when you can't think of a word and it's just on the tip of your tongue. The memory's there, it's just a little screwed up. I don't think it has to do w/ previous lives

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)

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!

Deja vu isn't anything metaphysical or divine. It is a well know psychological phenomena that occurs because of certain neurochemical changes, although the details have not been nailed down. For example, one idea involves a trigger to the parahippocampal gyrus - which is something in the brain.\n\nBasically it _feels_ like you are experiencing something you have experienced before, when in fact you are not. The deja vu feeling is being generated by a hiccup in the brain. Ocassional feelings of deja vu are not uncommon, quite the opposite in fact. Generally it is not something to worry about, although it can be a symptom of temporal lobe epilepsy.\n\nThere is also something called jaime vu, which is the opposite. You actually experience something familiar but it _feels_ like you have never experienced it before.

Deja Vu.\n\n(There's also "Deja Moo", the feeling that you've gone through this bull before...)

Usually when i daydream or recall memory it is usually in third person also. Most of the time when i recall memory it is to think to myself "What if i did this" or "Maybe it wouldn't have happened that way IF" its nothing to be worried about. deep down, subconciously you probably want to see yourself as others saw you at the moment in time.

Hi! Yes, I do. The past, present and future exist inter-dimensionally and your "knowing" is a form of energy that descends upon you from SPIRIT. This energy is filtered by your conscious and subconscious mind. We interpret this energy in various ways and it works itself into our "dreams". I'm glad you listen to you "dreams" and your intuition. I always say : Awareness is the first step.

Yes.  I have dreams that I think are real until someone tells me it never happened.  And sometimes I think I'm dreaming when I'm not.

"Déjà vu" litterally means "already seen". It is actually much more used in English than in French. For the meaning, I do agree with Joliet.

It is the mind remembering a very similar situation that happened in a past life.  You know it has happened before, but you can't explain it because you can't remember when.  I like to think of it as a bit of psycic experiece.
