it is a glitch or change in the matrix....duh jk Because you've done something really similar, or somtimes certain flavors or smells you haven't smelled in a long time will cause that, i.e. buffets smells remind me of my first job
-
Because it just does. It's some weird feeling when you feel you've been in the same situation before, but haven't and is now happening.
-
...because time isn't linear...; it is an aspect of a multi-dimensional experience...; on occasion, awareness awakens within this recognition...this we term deja vu...; there are numerous other experiential experiences, equally as seemingly strange, that occur as awareness expands... have you ever wondered, for example, how healers heal?

Its your mind being reminded of something similar that has happened that you might not have consciously taken in. It happened to me a few days ago actually.
-
It is the mind trying to see paterns in the world around us. It sees something similiar and makes a connection.

Deja-vu is nothing to do with the present situation reminding you of a past memory; that is something totally different. Deja-vu happens at random times, and causes you to feel that you have experienced present events before, even to the extent of feeling that you know what is coming next (although in fact you don't). Nobody really knows why it happens, I don't think, but it is probably some disturbance of the function of the brain that turns short-term memories into long-term ones.

I heard somewhere that your eyes send out signals (like beams) at the same time, hundreds of times a second to capture images. Sometimes one eye will delayed and wont line up exactly with the other pulse it just sent out creating two of the same images of the same moment of time, but the brain doesn't know exactly how much time has passed when this happens. when in reality it was only a second the brain could think it was a month.

Because, accourding to quantum physics, everything and anything that will happen can happen and already has. Deja vu' gives us peeks of that truth.

Some believe déjà vu is the memory of dreams. Though the majority of dreams are never remembered, a dreaming person can display activity in the areas of the brain that process long-term memory. In this case, déjà vu might be a memory of a forgotten dream with elements in common with the current waking experience. This may be similar to another phenomenon known as déjà rêvé, or "already dreamed." However, later studies on mice indicate that long-term memories must be first established as short-term memories. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%C3%A9j%C3%A0_vu

"What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun." Evertything goes in cycles and many times if we can detect a pattern we can foresee the future. I think deja vu is a half-forgotten memory or premonition/ expectation come true.

I have heard it is a delayed visual signal to the brain. The eyes pick up about 30 frames per second, (I think.) When one eye sends the information just a little bit later than the other eye, we have the sensation of déjà vu. I have heard that blind people also have déjà vu, so whose knows if this theory is true. Sense I have heard this theory, my déjà vu experiences have almost completely stopped. I used to get extreme sensations that might last for 3-4 minutes, around the time I was abusing cocaine. Too me déjà vu is like nostalgia’s sister. Nostalgia is like when you can totally remember something from the past, you almost get lost in the past, like a real extreme memory. Lot of the nostalgia is brought on by smells or music, anything that can take you back, you may remember something you didn’t even know you knew. Déjà vu is kind of the same but in the present, it’s like you’re totally aware of the present.

It is most probably due to similarities in the activation pattern that the brain is currently experiencing with past patterns of activation.

The summer before I started HS I had several dreams that turned out to seem precognitive. After a good bit of thought, I fairly well analyzed them away. Because of this experience, much later I acted in a certain way on having a feeling of deja vu at the doctor's office. I was getting a copy of a bland diet from a nurse, she being on the other side of a counter extending to my left-but in my "memory" it was a mirror image, with the counter to my right. The last page of the diet ended in the middle of a sentence-& I "remembered" asking about it & her reply: " Oh it doesen't matter It's just..." So I did not ask the Q! Instead I went home & thought about it. The next week when I left the office I asked her about the apparent cut-off. She said "Oh it doesen't matter. It's just half a line extended on the next page." So I now believe it can be precognitive-so if any of you have a similar opportunity follow through on it-i.e. Don't "ask the Q" then- or whatever it is.

Deja vue is a matter of eye's buffering information of an actual time, but brain doesnt assimilate on the spot, in take a little delay between receving and decrypting, but due to this delay, some informatin are losted and it give a spacial discrapency or de-orientation in action time. So when you have that "Déja vue" feeling, its because you did this action few second's before!!
