My experience of Deja Vu is when it hits I suddenly become fully aware of myself and what I’m doing in that moment. It’s a sudden realisation that what I’m experiencing appears to have happened before. The feeling can sometimes be quite overwhelming and stops me in my tracks as I look around and even question reality and the fabric of time a little. Some scientists believe you’re having a mild seizure when this happens which may explain the strange feeling.

Mine then tends to fade within about 5 seconds or so until I can no longer remember why it felt so familiar. In a way I compare it to that feeling when you become lucid. That sudden realisation that hits you and makes you stop what you’re doing, become fully present and question your reality.

I In dreams I haven’t experienced this kind of strong Deja vu. It’s usually much more casual. “Ah, this looks familiar. I think I’ve had this dream before”.
