What is deja vu?

Déjà vu is the really odd feeling you get when you see something happen the exact same way twice, or when you have done the exact same action before, and are doing it again. Usually the basis is completely improbable, like the other side of your mind is insisting that you could not have possibly seen the thing before.

Déjà vu is also a very kickass J-Pop song by Dave Rodgers.

When I held the sniper rifle in my hand for the first time, it felt like I'd been practicing with it forever. Such déjà vu.

Deja vu - what is it?

Deja Vu
day-Zha-voo
noun:

french origin, meaning already experienced. Even though you can't know when or where in your present situation.
Déjà Vu may spark from reincarnation, a past life experience,
the rebirth of a persons consciousness into a new life after the death of the last life.
Every religion on earth talks of "Rebirth" in one form or another. Leaving this present life, and entering a new life someplace else, someplace better perhaps, as someone other than your present being.
It's the foundation of all faith, being born again.
It's why people believe, to be born again, to live again, and exist again.
Having no end to consciousness. Having Deja Vu

I'm feeling a little Deja Vu in writing this definition, as I could swear I've written it before.

Deja vu - what does it mean?

The feeling that you are doing something that you've already done before. Literal translation "already seen" (from French, deja 'already', vu 'seen'). Apparently it's due to a blip in your brain process which gives you the illusion that you've been somewhere/done something before, and technically, you have - a fraction of a second ago.

However, a common misinterpretation of deja vu is a repeat of a certain event. For example, in an episode of Garfield and Friends (US Acres) Orson perpetually removes the same book (Deja vu: the feeling that you are doing something that you've done before) from a box of books over and over again. This is NOT deja vu; rather, it's an event that doesn't have a forseeable end: an infinite loop, if you will.

If you walk into a room and immediately get the feeling that you've been there before, then that is a case of deja vu.

When i stepped out the door and looked at the sky, i immediately felt like i'd forseen this. wow, deja vu. looks like its going to be a very interesting day...

Deja vu - meaning

Is the feeling you get as though you had performed a certain action before, although you are certain that you hadn't.

People only use 34% of their brain's capacity on a daily basis. Deja vu is probably a sudden case of psycic ability for a short amount of time, therefore, making you believe that you had performed the action before you had actually done it. It's just that you had seen yourself do it a split second before you had actually done it.

Deja vu

Something that very few people know the true meaning of. Even though deja vu is French for "already seen", it actually is used to describe the strange feeling you get when you're in a situation, and feel like you've been in the exact same situation before, but really haven't. Most people think it means the same thing happening twice, which is wrong. Get it right people!

Jack: Hrmm..
Bob: What?
Jack: I could have sworn I've been here before. But I know I haven't.
Bob: Heh. Deja vu?
Jack. Yeah. What a strange feeling!
