Since the last years of the 20th century, déjà vu has been subject to serious psychological and neurophysiological research. Scientifically speaking, the most likely explanation of déjà vu is not that it is an act of "precognition" or "prophecy," but rather that it is an anomaly of memory giving the impression that an experience is "being recalled."
This explanation is substantiated by the fact that the sense of "recollection" at the time is strong in most cases, but that the circumstances of the "previous" experience (when, where, and how the earlier experience occurred) are quite uncertain. Likewise, as time passes, subjects[where?] can exhibit a strong recollection of having the "unsettling" experience of déjà vu itself, but little or no recollection of the specifics of the event(s) or circumstance(s) they were "remembering" when they had the déjà vu experience. In particular, this may result from an overlap between the neurological systems responsible for short-term memory (events which are perceived as being in the present) and those responsible for long-term memory (events which are perceived as being in the past). The events would be stored into memory before the conscious part of the brain even receives the information and processes it.
Another theory being explored is that of vision. As the theory suggests, one eye may record what is seen fractionally faster than the other, creating that "strong recollection" sensation upon the "same" scene being viewed milliseconds later by the opposite eye.[3] However, this one fails to explain the phenomenon when other sensory inputs are involved, such as the auditive part, and especially the digital part. If one, for instance, experiences déjà vu of someone slapping the fingers on his left hand, then the déjà vu feeling is certainly not due to his right hand experiencing the same sensation later than his left hand considering that his right hand would never receive the same sensory input. Also, persons with only one eye still report experiencing déjà vu or déjà vécu (a rare disorder of memory, similar to persistent déjà vu). The global phenomenon must therefore be narrowed down to the brain itself (say, one hemisphere would be late compared to the other one).

past life...psychic.

You are a really good photographer.
That's like a timed, multiple exposure that you're using, isn't it?

no it's a stack of different photos all taken with the camera on a tripod then edited together in photoshop by pasting them all in one file as layers then erasing bits to show through parts of the other layers - actually not as difficult as it sounds or looks.

I've had deja vu's where I can almost predict what is going to be said next by whomever I'm with.
Very creepy.


What do I think causes it?

Have no clue. Maybe you're just at the right time & the right place where your mind can access the greater powers at force in the universe?

i heard it described as a replacement of a corrupt memory file with the current experience... (suggesting that our brain is continually reviewing, filing and storing memories "in the background of everyday life")


corrupt memory gets replaced with current moment and you get that "i feel like ive been here" feeling

I have the same experience and it happen to me often.

The weirdness one was so funny. I dreamed about being late at a rendez-vous so in my dream i was running like crazy to get on time. When I arrive there was a big clock up the stair,that's when I notice that I was 1 hour in advance.

When I got got up, I forgotten about the dream... ..the day went on till that rendez-vous just like in my dream I though I was late a ran like crazy till I got there and saw the clock and yes I was 1 hour earlyer and that's when it hit me. I though that's funny the same mistake twice

Time travel for me

I'll bet!!!

to get way out there, I'm going to suggest that there are parallel universes, of which we live in one. Sometimes the other parallel universes overlap each other, causing deja vu.
