I Cannot Imagine...
#10
RE: I Cannot Imagine...
According to Dan Dennett, Deja vu is when your brain makes a mistake.

Your brain needs to keep track of the familar so it knows when it's seen something before, so it doesn't keep checking over the same things over and over and over.

According to DD, Deja Vu is when your brain triggers a "I've seen this before" response incorrectly.
