As a child I used to experience deja vu. I did not know what to call it and I never,
ever told anyone. Actually it was scary to me. Things would happen and I would sit there thinking "this feels like it happened already" I felt like I was in a dream--very unnerving for a kid. As I got older, those feelings mostly disappeared, but once in a while <img src="/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
I got curious and did a search on a site called How Stuff Works, this is what it says:
The term d�j� vu is French and means, literally, "already seen." Those who have experienced the feeling describe it as an overwhelming sense of familiarity with something that shouldn't be familiar at all. Say, for example, you are traveling to England for the first time. You are touring a cathedral, and suddenly it seems as if you have been in that very spot before. Or maybe you are having dinner with a group of friends, discussing some current political topic, and you have the feeling that you've already experienced this very thing -- same friends, same dinner, same topic.
What do you think about deja vu? ever experienced it?
