Deja Vu

gordon2007 said:

'deja vu' is actually your brain short circuiting and replaying an event basically a microsecond after it has actually happened, thus one thinking they've seen this happen before.

Medically, it happens to everyone. However if it's happening on a very frequent basis then your brain is experiencing many electrical short circuits.

I'm no doctor, nor am I trying to scare you. If it was happening to me frequently, I'd be making an appt with a gp.

That's along the lines of what I heard(that long ago I can't remember where). The difference being that the brain sometimes short circuits and sends the current information to the long term memory instead of the short term memory, hence we have a feeling we've witnessed the current events at some undefined time in the past.
