Thank you for the article that you have offered on line here. Reading many of the responses here, I would like to offer my experiences as a professional health care worker. I have been in the critical care/trauma and emergency department areas for 27 years.
I have observed many people and listened to quite a few with the same experiences concerning the area of types of deja vu. In all three the majority of them were quite explainable just from history taking. They involved the following, keeping in mind the trigger word FREQUENT Deja vu episodes, meaning, daily,frequently per monthly:
1. Frequent or infrequent use of recreational drugs such as ecstasy, heroin, mushrooms, cocaine, HGB, marijuana.
2. Known epileptics and sometimes a deja vu is pre emptive to having one referred to as a type of 'aura'; recovering from an absance seizure.
3. Presence of brain trauma or tumor, advanced syphyllis stage 3, advanced lymes disease(brain infestation of parasite), Brain stroke (CVA) or pending stroke (TIA),migraine
4. Hormonal imbalance such as one would experience during menstruation, diabetes mellitus,hypo/hyperthyroidism, male/female gonadal disease or surgical removal of,pituitary malfunction adrenal disease or pregnancy.
6. During use of Dr. prescribed medication to treat pain, psycholgical treatment medicaitions, steroids prednisone like,or during untreated pain episodes.
7. History of psychological trauma, depression, sleep disorders,anxiety disorders.
8. Constant source of stress or fear, social pressures.
What accompanied these histories were subjective observations of the client such as:
1. Metallic taste in the mouth.
2. Fragrance of flowers or pungence
3. Hearing "musical tones"
4. Feeling "lighter" or "weightless", feeling "out of body".
5. Feeling "nauseous"
6. Having a "headache"
Objective observations of the health care taker were as follows:
1. Diaphoresis (sweating), cold clammy feel to the skin, pallor.
2. Sudden dilatation or constriction of the pupils.
3. Facially, sudden blank stare, disinterest in surrounding environment, sudden relaxation of facial muscles,seizure.
4. Hypersalivation or vomiting
5. Difficulty in verbal expression, echolalia (repetative, speech) or loss of.
Of course this is not nearly complete, but you may see my point. My reasoning in sharing this is as I shared earlier, I have been in the health care field for a while. I believe the body as a whole is an intelligent organism as it has its working mastered and is very alert as to its goings on and having said that it speaks to us and lets us know in subtle ways that something may be awry. It might just be in your best interest to get a check up regardless of what age you are.
Now in the absence of the majority of the above, it could be nothing more than age related or something right out of the unexplained. But not to forget, that the body is subtle and of that body there is a mind. So if you should have an unexplained episode, maybe it would be advantageous to act on it as premonatory response and take your day slow. Decidedly, don't rush in your driving or going up and down the stairs or just be still and quiet for a moment and enjoy the surroundings or the present events of your present reality and take stock in the possibility of something bigger out there that is beyond comprehension that enjoys us wondering of it. I would not be surprised if there was a greater incidence of such experiences in mothers, cause I know my mother had eyes in the back of her head and never learned how she knew some stuff, but it fits the profile.
It was good to read in this article the mention of the possibility of physics and the movement of protons being a type of explanation as they move about and may possibly carry information between planes of past and future bumping into us and leaving us a glimpse. As a matter of fact if anyone is interested, there is a groundbreaking experiment for what is loosely called the search of the "God Particle". It involves a machine, the LARGE HADRON COLLIDER. It is easily googleable. Enjoy reading of it. There is a three part video on YouTube as well.
