Deja vu-Been there done that!

Another deja vu....happening quite frequently over the past few months!
The term deja vu is French and its literal translation is " Already seen". I was pretty worried and did some Googling followed by howstuffworksing ;).
Happened to read that the phenomenon is quite common for 15-25 year olds and almost 70% of the world's population have experienced this feeling sometime or the other. Over the years, people have attributed deja vu to temporal-lobe epilepsy.(Which led to another round of googling and howstuffworsing) More on that
here. Sounds rather scary...so I will leave it to you to form your own conclusions.

However, the phenomenon itself is rather complex and nothing firm has been established.Everyone has his view. Psychoanalysts attribute it to a simple fantasy while the psychiatrists think some goof up in the brain makes us mistake the present for the past. Parapsychologists( Whoa!!toughie...god knows who they are) think it is some past life experience.

Something interesting...food for thought perhaps!

My last dream was about being a billionaire and sailing on a yacht with plenty of hot chicks for company ;) And hey...day dreams do count dont they? :P
