Weird isnt it? Its especially weird when i'm in the middle of a conversation and get that 'i've said this before in this exact same scenario feeling'...its throws me off my flow!
I would love to hear your explanations for this phenomenon  |

| I read with interest some time ago that this was connected in some cases to temporal lobe epilepsy. I would love to hear if anyone else has heard or read this. |

The emotion déjà vu can be reliably created by stimulating a specific part of the brain with an electrical impulse.
It seems - perhaps - that the specific form of temporal lobe epilepsy stimulates this same part of the brain.
I did read somewhere (but sorry, didn't find the reference) that scientists have found the specific chemical that creates the feeling of déjà vu.
Also refer to Wikipedia.

| All I know is that it is kind of creepy to me at times when it happens. I literally stop what I am doing and am like I feel like I have done or said this before. |
