(B) You’ve been invited to a party by a friend of a friend. You’re feeling a little nervous because you won’t knowmany people at this party. However, you decide to accept. You go to a house where you’ve never been before.Your host greets you warmly at the door and welcomes you to his home. You walk into a large room full ofpeople – and suddenly you have the eerie feeling that you have been here before, that you have walked into this same room and that you have seen these same people standing in the same small groups chatting with each other. You feel frightened by this odd, spooky feeling. What’s going on? Calm down. What you are experiencing is déjà vu– which, in French, means “already seen.” Your mind has just played a harmless little trick on you, and it’snothing to worry about.      People sometimes say the déjà vu is evidence of a former life and that the reason you feel you are reliving anexperience is because, in fact, you had that same experience in a former life. What a fascinating idea! But it’sprobably not the case. Psychologists have offered a number of explanations for the curious phenomenon of déjàvu. One theory is that it helps you confront and overcome anxiety: You’re not nervous about going into a partywhere you know hardly anyone because you’ve done it before(or your brain tricks you into thinking you’ve doneit before) – so you can relax. After all, if you’ve done it before, it’s not so threatening, and you can do it again.Another theory is that you are experiencing recognition disorder; your brain tricks you into believing that asimilar experience is, in fact, the very same experience.        William Braud, a psychologist at the Mind Science Foundation in San Antonio, Texas, offers two otherpossible explanations. It may be that an electrical current is accidentally generated in the area of your brainassociated with memory and familiarity. Electrical activity in this area just makes you feel as though you’rereliving or re-experiencing something all over again. No matter where you are or what you are doing at the time,you will have the sensation that you are repeating something you have done before, and everything will seemstrangely familiar to you.        Braud’s second explanation is that the two sides of your brain are experiencing a very slight time lapse. Inthis case, the right side of your brain experiences something just a fraction of a second before the left sideexperiences it. Therefore, the left side is tricked into thinking that this has happened before, a long time before –not just a fraction of a second before. Whatever the explanation for déjà vu, you should know that it is a commonphenomenon – roughly two-thirds of adults experience it at some point in their lives – and it’s not dangerous.
