An Explanation of Deja Vu

I am sure that we have all been there before, at least once or twice in our lives. You are walking down the street with your friends, and then you see a balloon float around the buildings. As you glance up, you smile at the simple beauty of this floating object, but then suddenly, you get this feeling in the pit of your stomach and your mind begins to scramble. As you stand there looking at the floating balloon, you have this blue streak of recognition, and it is then that you realize -- you've seen this exact same balloon flying between those exact buildings at this very moment in time --- once before. This is a symptom called, déjà vu.

Many people just think that this strange anomaly within our own minds, is just a hiccup within our brains. That we perceive things in a certain way, and if all of the circumstances are just right, than your brain will trick you into believing that you have seen or even been at "here" before. However, according to them, you have not, and déjà vu means absolutely nothing. Well, I beg to disagree with anyone who thinks this. Now, many of you are asking, "What exactly do you think déjà vu is?"

As we can never be truly sure as to what this brain twitch is, there are certain theories that are extremely poignant and raise very interesting questions. Throughout all of the suggestions and theories out there, I have come to my own conclusion about what déjà vu actually is:

I believe that déjà vu is a physical manifestation of a period in time where you have excelled past out known reality and into the higher existence that is consistently surrounding us. However, 99.9% of us never actually "tap into" this second reality in our conscious mind, but when you are unconscious - sleeping - we are susceptible to this "higher existence." But why is this the cause of déjà vu? Well, within this higher existence, if you want it to call it a spiritual plane or whatever, the past, present and future are all running at the same time.
