I was wondering, is déjà vu when we experience/do God’s will? Or is it simply a brain mistake?
 
Deja vu is a purely physiological phenomenon caused by cross-talk between nerve strands. While a sensory experience is being transmitted to the brain on one nerve strand, it crosses to another nerve strand. One of the strands dumps impulses to the brain a fraction of a second before the other strand does. The first sensory dump gets recorded as a memory, and then the second lands in the brain, where it is experienced as a deja vu.
 
I don’t know.

I once lived in Colorado and had a dream about being in a yellow classroom with a bunch of people I didn’t recognize. I could have told you about the dream, no problem.

Then, I moved to Texas. I went there for a while, and out of the blue one day, I looked up— and everything shifted to just how things had been in that dream, like puzzle pieces falling into place, and that feeling of deja vu. I had been going to that classroom for a month or two for a creative writing class, but I never independently recognized it nor the people in it until everything aligned just perfectly. And then it was like, “Hey! I remember that dream from last year.”

Same thing with conversations. Sometimes, you might have a dream about having a particular conversation with someone. And then, at some point in the future, that exact conversation actually happens in reality— poof, that feeling of deja vu again. Sometimes, you go along with the conversation the way it happened; other times, you might try and change it along new paths.

I don’t really associate my experiences of deja vu with anything profound or significant— just little snippets of ordinary life that make you stop and say, “Huh.” But likewise, I’m already aware of “that dream back in the fall”, even if I don’t attach any significance to it, before having a particular experience of the real situation happening in, say, the spring. I did find that my feelings of deja vu tended to be strongest around junior high/high school/college ages.
