    About Dja Vu

    Déj? Vu is known to be the experience of going through a new situation, but having already experienced it before.

    The term was originally coined by Emile Boirac, a French psychic researcher who lived from 1851 to 1917. His book The Future of Psychic Sciences, L'Avenir des Sciences Psychiques, featured the concept of Déj? Vu.

    Most Déj? Vu moments are usually accompanied by an eerie sensation, and generally, the situations are attributed to a firm sense of something that had happened before, as well as events that have happened in a dream. Because of this, Déj? Vu is also referred to as the act of remembering the future.

    Studies have shown that a Déj? Vu experience is very common, but is extremely difficult to invoke upon. To this end, the study of Déj? Vu moments isn't very common. Déj? Vu researchers use hypnosis techniques in calling for Déj? Vu moments, to further their studies, and at times, even this would yield frustrating results.

    Although Déj? Vu moments are known enough that 70% of the world's population could relate to them, the types of Déj? Vu aren't as famous as Déj? Vu, in the general sense. Arthur Funkhouser states that there are three types of Déj? Vu moments, Déj? Vécu, Déj? Senti and Déj? Visité, each with their own unique Déj? Vu implications.

    Déj? Vécu is usually what most people generally understand as Déj? Vu. It is the experience when more than sight is the sensation determining the "recall", usually calling for an eerie feeling of knowing what would be said, or what would happen next. It is more common for those aged 15 to 25 years old, as the mind is still observant to noticing change in environment, during these times. An ordinary event or situation, is remembered to something that has already happened, even though the event or situation is relatively new and impossible to have taken place in the past.

    Recently, the term Déj? Vécu is used to describe a type of Déj? Vu, which happens as a symptom of a memory disorder.

    Déj? Senti, another type of Déj? Vu, is one with focuses on something "already felt". It differs from Déj? Vécu in the sense that it is something that happens in the mental arena with no precognitive implications. These "already felt observations" rarely linger in a person's memory once they have happened. Temporal lobe epileptics are known to experience this type of Déj? Vu.

    Déj? Visité is the type of Déj? Vu which deals with the logistics and lay out of a place. Translating to "already visited", it isn't as common as the other two Déj? Vu types, as it involves the incredible knowledge regarding a place one had just visited.

    Dreams and out-of-body experiences are oftentimes related to Déj? Visité moments. Other theories include the accumulation of information regarding a place, via reading or television.

    All in all, when it comes Déj? Vu, no one really knows what they are, and where they come from.
