Déjà vu

I'll start this blog by giving out the meaning of Déjà vu. It is from French, literally "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. There are some people I know who


experience this thing many times. In all of us, there comes a time when we pass through something we stop and think "I think I have seen this place before" or "This face looks familiar" but there is no way you can see it or the person before because of you've never been to that place before. And some are we think as repeated experiences, things that we think happened before but we just can't tell when.

I browsed through the internet to look for things that has something to do with déjà vu, and I found out an article entitled "How Déjà Vu Works" by Lee Ann Obringer from the site science.howstuffworks.com. In this article the author talked first about there are things that are not real déjà vu. Example of this are the hallucinations that are brought by illness or drugs that some people mostly call as déjà vu experience but in reality they are just hallucinating.

In this article it is stated that "Deja vu is the feeling that you have experienced a situation before even though you know you haven't."

Why do we think we experienced something event tough we haven't? I'ts because of our dreams. Our subconscious create a place where it wants us to go. Most places are combinations of places from our memories or sometimes an exact place of something that pass through our eyes but we didn't really noticed it. And when it comes to meeting people in our dreams which we really don't know, it is still our subconscious creating those people, the subconscious is in charge of making a new person, of their personality, of how they look and of how they will act. Sometimes the scenario becomes the same thing that we will be experiencing in the future, and that is déjà vu.
