It's a great theory, although when you've experienced the different levels of deja vu I have, any other explanation than what I've come to know is redundant.

I think Deja vu is simpler and easier to explain than all of that quantum/psychic mumbo jumbo. Deja vu occurs when the brain (super computer) has a slight momentary glitch and stores a situation into the longterm memory while it is happening and going into short term memory. What happens is you remember the event occuring even though it is happening at that moment. We do have short and long term memory. If something is put into longterm at the same time it is put into short term that is what we call Deja vu. I hope I'm explaining it well.
Basically, you are remembering something that is happening right now.

Ok so having read the thread, and I like the theory, I have a question.
When I have what I up to this point perceived to be deja vu, I usually find that its nothing where I can predict whats going to happen next, all I get is an overwhelming sense that I have seen/done/said what happens in the situation before, even if I am observing other individuals, saying something, but it always feels as though the de ja vu is from very far in the past, as in weeks or months, maybe years even, but I can never pin it down to a specific time where I think it comes from.
So my question is have I never experienced deja vu ?
Or is this deja vu, but without the ability to predict what is going to happen next ?

When you have it, you'll notice that you feel like everything has happened before, so obviously it's not a glimpse into the future, otherwise you would be seeing not what is right infront of you.

Yeah thats just it, thats what I experience, its not a glimpse into the future, its a feeling that I've experienced it before, ok I'm confused now, so does this tie in with your experiences ?

Ok, so thoughts create the codes. Then if you are able to see/feel them are you in a way reading the world's/everyone's thoughts at that moment? (because our thoughts create the codes).
Am I on the right lines here? Kind of just putting it together as I feel it is coming to me now.

Yes. Deja Vu is simply electrical signals in your brain going a little haywire. Sometimes epileptics will experience DejaVu as a warning sign before a seizure. Most people will experience Deja Vu a few times in their lives, but if it becomes really frequent, or stronger, I recommend seeing a Neurologist.
