Deja Vu – Parapsychological Definition:
Deja vu is French for “already seen,” the feeling or illusion of having previously experienced an event or place actually being encountered for the first time; also called “false memory,” or “memory without recognition,” although the phenomenon could conceivably involve precognitive or clairvoyant information, in which case Frederic Myers gave it the name promnesia.
[From the Greek pro, “prior to,” + mnesis, “memory”]
