− | '''Déjà vu''' (French pronunciation: [deʒa vy], [[literally]] "already seen") is the [[experience]] of [[feeling]] sure that one has already [[witnessed]] or [[experienced]] a current situation, even though the exact circumstances of the prior encounter are [[uncertain]] and were perhaps [[imagined]]. The term was coined by a French psychic researcher, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89mile_Boirac Émile Boirac] (1851–1917) in his [[book]] ''L'Avenir des sciences psychiques'' ("The Future of Psychic Sciences"), which expanded upon an essay he wrote while an undergraduate. The [[experience]] of ''déjà vu'' is usually accompanied by a compelling sense of familiarity, and also a sense of "eeriness", "[[strange]]ness", "weirdness", or what [[Sigmund Freud]] calls "the uncanny". The "previous" [[experience]] is most frequently attributed to a [[dream]], although in some cases there is a firm sense that the experience has genuinely happened in the [[past]].[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deja_vu] | + | '''Déjà vu''' (French pronunciation: [deʒa vy], [[literally]] "already seen") is the [[experience]] of [[feeling]] sure that one has already [[witnessed]] or [[experienced]] a current situation, even though the exact circumstances of the prior encounter are [[uncertain]] and were perhaps [[imagined]].
