The feeling you have been there before doing the same thing and thinking the exact same thought?
What is behind it?

When the brain receives the same message slightly different times.

Well you remember those moments so they stand out. It is like when you are thinking of friend and then that friend calls or texts. But how often are you thinking of someone and that person does NOT call/text? I bet the latter occurs a LOT more.
I thought Deja' Vu had to occur in a dream first. I've had a bunch of those.
I think it means "you again" but you should check with a French scientist to be sure.

Jeezus - not even close. It literally translates "already seen."
To the OP, thus is not a question for 'science' to answer. It is a cultural and sociological phenomena It's not something that lends itself to quantification and hypothesis testing.
That being said, I agree with the other posters who relate it to signification and belief.
Twice.

So of course a "French scientist" posts right away.
I will wait for a real one to weigh in.

What is this, like subject # 1,000,000 that you're getting schooled on?
Don't be salty, just try to get better.

Who's salty? I'm talking about French scientists and you're flipping your lid. Take a deep breath and move on.
I'm not a French scientist, but I did go to school for engineering and I speak French. Here's my theory:
Space_time is not smooth, it's all crumpled up like a wad of paper. (Crumpling paper makes it 3-dimensional. My math is not good enough to say what happens when you crumple space_time.) In addition to a point in space_time touching in the ordinary moment-past, now, moment-future, it touches far-away points due to folding. We get deja vu when the point we occupy here_now touches a far-away point, which happens all the time (heh), AND we also occupied/will occupy the far-away point, which almost never happened/will happen.
What I like best about my theory is that it explains the extra creepy deja deja vu, as in "I've had this feeling of deja vu before."
I feel like this question has been asked before...

Totalement absurde, merci.
It's a glitch in the matrix.

The explanation I've heard is along the above lines. If some portion of your brain is made to run a bit slowly for whatever reason, then your higher thinking centers are receiving the information at slightly different times. Even though you are receiving a single stimulus, one is processed later, and feels like a reminder of the earlier stimulus instead of a new piece of information.

I've heard that before.
Haven't we had this thread before?

Deja Entendu, a very underrated album
Judging from some of the comments here, I think some don't even know what deja vu is.
