Could deja vu be some sort of clue to time being multidimensional, and/or nonlinear or is it just a chemical activity in the brain that makes you feel a certain way, or something along those lines?

Deja vu I find an interesting subject.

My experience with it has shown that in some instances our future is very determined ( all though most of the time quite fluid)

Deja vu seems to occur when you recognise that you are at the right place at the right time and you remember your future. (The one you have created yourself at a subconscious level at some time in the past)

So in a way you are "bumping into your self"

I think time is non-linear, but everything is happening right now. Time is a measure of how we move through space. Daja Vu is a confirmation of that.

Or it could be the Men in Black ;)

Anyway, I think it is very weird. I could be doing anything like walking up the stairs when all the sudden it feels like I already done it exactly the same before, only I know I didn't. It is very weird.

This might ramble a bit...the ideas aren't completely cohesive in my head, so I'm just throwing english at them and seeing how they come out....

I'm generally a big believer in the notion that we create our own reality, and that much of that creation happens on a subconscious level. Dreams being such a big part of subconscious brain activity makes me think that it's reasonable that quite a bit of reality creation happens in dreams.

So, I like the idea of deja vu being a flashback to a dream, wherein the path that took you to the moment you experienced the deja vu was started whenever you had that dream. Your choices, conscious and subconscious, subsequent to the dream led you to that moment of deja vu, just as though you'd walked that path with a clear picture of its end.

Hmmm...I'll have to chew on that some more.

I like it!!!!:)

Yep, I think that too.

Rather I think everything that had happened, is happening and will happen is all happening at the same "time". In fact there is no time, just a measure of us moving through space. So the idea of deja vu is just when we simply get a connection from all others things.
When we create our reality, we simply choose what events we like to experience from all the possibilities out there.
