The general understanding of dA (c)jA vu is this: DA (c)jA vu, from French, literally "already seen", is the phenomenon of having the strong sensation that an event or experience currently being experienced has been experienced in the past, whether it has actually happened or not. So how would you feel if five years of your life flashes in front of your eyes in a space of five minutes or your dreams come to life in the same week? Samuel, I have been in situations where dA (c)jA vu was so clear, I was not sure whether I was dreaming or living.
