+443 Déjà vu happens when an alternate timeline crosses yours at a precise moment, amirite?

No, it's when you experience something you've already experienced. Hence, deja vu, which translates as "already seen".

No, you FEEL like you've already experienced it, but you haven't.

no, that's jamais vu (never seen), I think.... or at least, jamais vu is when you know you haven't seen/done something before, yet it feels familiar.

Nope, deja vu is when you know it hasn't happened before, but it feels like it has. Jamais vu is when you know it's happened before, but it feels completely unfamiliar.

nooooo, jamais vu is where you've never seen it before, hence jamais = never.

Dammit! why is my extremely logical reasoning always wrong?

In my opinion, deja vu happens when something occurs that you witnessed in a past life, but that probably doesn't appeal to anyone who doesn't believe in reincarnation.

Apparently there was a theory... That some memories are so strong they're actually part of your DNA. So a deja vu you feel could be one of your grandfather's memories that was passed onto you. Just a theory :)

a deja vu is when your brain goes faster than you like for example when you give a gift to someone you KNOW the person's gonna say 'thanks' so when the person does say thanks it feels like youve already heard it cause youre brain already knew that the person would say that.. yunno? :P

Actually, Deja Vu is when one side of your brain understands whats happening faster than the other, because it takes a very small amount of time for them to tell each other whats going on. That small amount of time can make you feel like you have already witnessed this event before, even though it was only milliseconds.

apparently it happens when your brain cell is delayed a second so you think you've seen it twice or something
