When we experience déjà vu, we feel something which is happening has happened
before and I'm not sure if this involves different time dimensions, since it essentially involves memory,
which is of the past. I like the theory that déjà vu is concurrent memory and
consciousness of a single situation. It is thought that the brain races forward and acquires information
before it enters consciousness, so informationally, in the brain, there is a memory. When we then
become conscious of the situation, the brain matches this with what has become a memory as far as
the brain is concerned — since it rushed forward. We then have both a memory and consciousness
of a current situation.
