'D�j� vu' is French for 'already seen'. It refers to the situation in which you find yourself thinking: "This has all happened before!"
It works through paramnesia, a temporary time-dissociation. The incident being lived through for the first time is not related by the mind to the present, but somehow to the past. When the mind grasps that it is actually happening now, it seems to decide that this is actually the second occasion. It's rather like when we think of someone for the first time in years and who do we bump into that very morning? Thinking of them didn't make them magically appear...coincidence did. Such mental weirdnesses seem all very eerie, but they're quite straightforward really.
