Have you ever felt this eerie feeling that you've been in a place for the first time but you feel like it's familiar? Or met this certain group of people but seems that you've already met before? Or have you been in a situation or in a conversation when you suddenly felt like it happened already? If yes, then you are experiencing "Déjà vu."
"Déjà vu" is a French term which literally means "already seen." It is the phenomenon of having the strong sensation that an event or experience currently being experienced has been experienced in the past, whether it has actually happened or not.
What causes "Déjà vu?"
According to the article that I've read, "What causes Deja vu? by Dawn Stanton, I've researced that Emile Boirac is a French scientist. He is one of the first to study about this phenomenon and gave the subject its name in 1876. Dozens of 'causes' of deja vu have been proposed over many decades said Flaherty-Craig, but most fall by the wayside as researchers learn more about human brain and cognitive processes.
"Deja vu, a French term meaning 'already seen,' is considered a disconnect or clash between objective unfamiliarity and a subject sense of familiarity," said Claire Flaherty-Craig. She said that the study is close in the study of epilepsy, where is often experience before a seizure.
Dawn says, "If you've ever had that fleeting, mysterious sense that something new-- a city or a person you're seeing for the first time is asomehow familiar, then it's deja vu"
With that being said, I think that it could be the first thing that you feel when you experience deja vu.
Why do we experience "Déjà vu?"
In the article How Deja vu Works? by Lee Ann Obringer, this Déjà vu is said to be confused with "precognitive experiences." In precognitive experiences, this is where someone gets a feeling that they know exactly what's going to happen next, and it does.

It is said that 60% of the population in ages 15 to 25 than in any other ages have experienced Déjà vu. But, why do we experience Déjà vu? In Science, Déjà vu has been firmly associated with temporal-lobe epilepsy. It is reported that it could be occured just prior to temporal-lobe seizure. They say that it is experienced during the actual seizure or in the moments between convulsions.There are lots of specialists studying about this phenomenon. Some psychoanalysts that it is just a fantasy or wish fulfillment. While some psychiatrists refers it to a mismatching in the brain that causes it to mistake the present from the past. On the other hand, some parapsychologists believe that it is related to a past life experience.
Obringer said, "Hallucinations that are brought on by illness or drugs sometimes bring a heightened awareness and are confused with déjà vu." I think that there are people who misunderstand what Deja vu really is. Not all 'predicted situations' are deja vu.
With what I come up with my research, I assume that this study isn't done yet. There are lots of possibilities why we really experience this, Déjà vu. With why is it happening. Is it really normal or something is wrong. Or is it just me or does it happen to everybody?
