deja vu, what does it mean?

[Steve_A]

Hi Hypnotize,

Déjà vu ; French; "already seen"; also called "paramnesia," from Greek παρα "para," "near" + μνήμη "mnēmē," "memory") is the experience of feeling sure that one has witnessed or experienced a new situation previously (an individual feels as though an event has already happened or has happened in the near past).

You can find out more at this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%C3%A9j%C3%A0_vu

I'm sure that you would have already seen it...

Best regards,

Steve
