Haha... I just had dejavu today. I can't explain why.

I felt like I had been in the meeting before, and the same issues were raised. In the imagined meeting, I said "Eh, I felt like this happened before", and people asked me what I meant. In the actual meeting, I just stared blankly at the speaker.

Could have concocted the scenario in the dream before and pop up as it happen, fragments of dreams do kept in memory. The similarity could be close but not necessary exactly apart from the brain laps.

I read one explanation of deja vu long time ago. The brain is divided in two halves. It's just that one half of the brain already experienced the reality whereas the other hard is a bit "slow". So when the slower half catches up, it seems like you experience something that has happened before.

Hope I'm making sense.

Means like we have another half of the brain already experienced the future while the other half is slower and still in the past/present?

Dejavu happen when a microvortex appear in a space time continuum and it happen in the proximity of someone's brain when they sleep. It's not powerfull enough to carry physical entity, and it's not powerfull enough to carry your brainwave when you're awake and in full control, but when you're in an alpha state, your control over your brainwave is weaken and this were suck in and transfered randomly through time and space. Sometimes it goes to the past where you can't differentiate it from your pass memory. But sometimes it goes into the future and this memory from the future where stored in your subconcious mind. When reach the specific time and place, it triggered your subconcious memory and you feel that you've been here and done this before.

No, this theory has nothing to do with future/past/present.

A external event happens, black cat walks past door (in first Matrix film). The right brain receives the input and registers it. Left brain receives input split second slower. Anyway both sides are connected, and as a result you get the feeling you saw that cat walk past before. Clearer?

My lecturers once told me that Dejavu happen because its part of memories from our grandparents or ancestors. The memory is carried down by the genes and passed on. I'm not so sure of this

I don't think its possible even though I really like the idea as shown in Assasin's Creed laugh.gif

Jamais vu - the opposite of deja vu, try writing your name repeatedly for, say 80 times..and then pause awhile.

Deja Vu is not as scary as Jamais Vu.

I get de ja vu sometimes, and the feeling is nearly inexplicable - it's vague but oddly familiar, like you have "been there" or "heard that" or "seen this" before, but you're not sure when or how or where, like a badly remembered dream, or semi-conscious day dream. It's bizarre, and sometimes unsettling.

I would love for science to be able to explain this. Is it memory-linked, or is it random subliminal brain activity?
