I've always had the thought that deja vu was just a brain mishap. I think there's 2 ways you get info into your brain; from whats happening right now, and from recalling memories. I think dejavu is your brain mis-wiring signals coming from the now, and making them seem like they are coming from recalled memory. This is why it feels so much like we've already experienced something thats happening right at that moment. You're interpereting info from the now, as info from the past. Then your brain goes "Wait, what? Didn't we already do/see this?"

Thats just my theory anyways.
