Can dejavu be a form of a dream?  I'm the type of person that has dejavu all of the freaken time.  Sometimes I'll be sitting there, and an image will cross my mind and later I'll see it, or I have a dream about a conversation I'm going to have and I realize as I'm speaking the next thing I'm going to say.  Do you think dejavu is a form of having psychic abilities that we all pocess?  How do you explain that? 

I also have a lot of dejavu, almost everyday.  It's an unexplainable thing, there are some different theories about it, but who really knows..?

I get it a lot too. It feels like a form of psychic abilities but some psychiatrists ascribe it to a mismatching in the brain that causes the brain to mistake the present for the past. That makes sense too but I guess there are a lot of theories for Deja vu.

    That doesn't really make sense though.  If you remember something happening, or you get a sense that something is going to happen.... then a few days later it happens just like the way you thought it would.... I don't think that's a mistake.  I think it's an ability we can't exactly explain. 
    Have you heard that we only use 10% of our brain capacity?  I don't think that's true, I've taken lots of psychology classes and anatomy classes and we use all parts of our brain!

What larryking said does make sense. when we get deja vu we cant really remember when we saw it last but were so sure we did. So if our brain just mistakes it as a past but we know were living it in the presence it just blends in and the best common sense judgement we can think of is psychic abilities, but thats not the case.

- Déjà vu is French for "already seen." Déjà vu is an uncanny feeling or illusion of having already seen or experienced something that is being experienced for the first time. If we assume that the experience is actually of a remembered event, then déjà vu probably occurs  because an original experience was neither fully attended to nor elaborately encoded in memory. If so, then it would seem most likely that the present situation triggers the recollection of a fragment  from one's past. The experience may seem uncanny if the memory is so fragmented that no strong connections can be made between the fragment and other memories.

- Thus, the feeling that one has been there before is often due to the fact that one has been there before. One has simply forgotten most of the original experience because one was not paying close attention the first time. The original experience may even have occurred only seconds or minutes earlier.

- On the other hand, the 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.

- "However, 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."
I agree with the last explanation... it's such a strong feeling and of course we notice it, but it may just be a very strong sensation connecting to that experience.

I think Deja Vu is just too complicated to explain or research. Its a wierd but interesting feeling that wil never be able to be completely explained and proved.

I like it when I get deja vu.. Its tite :)

I hate when something happeneds in deja vu that I know I don't like.  I feel like I could've prevented it or changed the outcome if I paid more attention to it.
