Deja Vu is explained in the wikipedia as follows:
The experience of déjà vu is usually accompanied by a compelling sense of familiarity, and also a sense of “eerieness,” “strangeness,” or “weirdness.” The “previous” experience is most frequently attributed to a dream, although in some cases there is a firm sense that the experience “genuinely happened” in the past.

I’ve developed many theories of Deja Vu over the past years.
One such theory (affirmed in the wikipedia entry) is that when we dream, we sometimes see things that are likely to happen in our future. When the dreampt event then occurs we are reminded of that dreamscape.
Another theory (this one is not in the wikipedia entry) is that some spiritual guide gives us this feeling to show that the current path we’re on is the correct one. Do you remember the scene in “The Exorsism of Emily Rose” where the female lawyer finds the locket on the ground? Deja Vu would be a much more subtle form of that.
I can’t remember why I started typing this, but I’d be interested in hearing about your experiences or thoughts on this strange feeling.
I frequently experience deja vu. It isn’t uncommon for me to have three to four deja vu experiences a week. I feel that my guides and angels are using deja vu as a means of communication. When I experience deja vu I then have to decipher if I being told to stick with what’s going on, or if I should steer-clear of where I’m headed. It’s an interesting game I’ve been playing, but I’ve gotten used to it.
the last deja vu i had was in graphic communications. i had a dream that a girl in my group asked me if something on my sketched newsletter was a “muffin or a cupcake”. a week later the girl did indeed ask me the same question irl. i laughed and laughed and we all had a good ha ha about it. neat story.
Have you seen Waking Life? I’m sure it is a film in which you’d be highly interested in.
i love that movie!
I just had dave put that on his netflix queue.
Good choice!
I could go on forEVER about dreams, their meanings, OBE’s, but right now Maple Crack is calling, and I don’t want to sit and type for 30 minutes, but I’d like to discuss it with you.
