'''Deja-vu''' is a common phrase from the French language which translates literally into “already seen”. This is a well documented phenomenon that can commonly occur throughout both sober living and under the influence of [[hallucinogens]]. It can be described as having the strong sensation that the current event or situation has already been experienced at some point within the past when, in fact, it hasn't.  
'''Déjà Vu''' (or '''Deja Vu''') is defined as as any sudden inappropriate impression of familiarity of a present experience with an undefined past.<ref name="OConnor2021">{{cite journal | vauthors=((O’Connor, A.

Certain substances are commonly capable of inducing spontaneous and often prolonged states of mild to intense sensations of deja-vu. This provides one with an overwhelming sense that they have “been here before”. The sensation is often accompanied by a false feeling of familiarity with the effects of the substance itself, the current location or setting, the current physical actions being performed, and the situation as a whole.  
Within the context of [[psychoactive substance]] usage, many compounds are commonly capable of inducing spontaneous and often prolonged states of mild to intense sensations of déjà vu. This can provide one with an overwhelming sense that they have “been here before”. The sensation is also often accompanied by a feeling of familiarity with the current location or setting, the current physical actions being performed, the situation as a whole, or the effects of the substance itself.  


This effect is often triggered despite the fact that during the experience of it one can be rationally aware that the circumstances of the “previous” experience (when, where, and how the earlier experience occurred) are uncertain or believed to be impossible.

===Analysis===
It is worth noting that the experience of Déjà vu is extremely common in people who are completely sober. For example, a 2003 review found that roughly two-thirds of the general population have had déjà vu experiences.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors=((Brown, A. S.)) | journal=Current Directions in Psychological Science | title=The Déjà Vu Illusion | volume=13 | issue=6 | pages=256–259 | date= December 2004 | url=http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1111/j.0963-7214.2004.00320.x | issn=0963-7214 | doi=10.1111/j.0963-7214.2004.00320.x}}</ref> Other studies confirm that déjà vu is a common experience in healthy individuals, with between 60% and 70% of individuals reporting it, particularly within those who are between the ages of 15 and 25.
Scientific explanations of déjà vu typically conclude that this state of mind is as an anomaly of memory, which creates the distinct impression that an experience is "being recalled" when it is actually occurring within the present moment. This explanation is supported by the fact that the sense of "recollection" at the time is strong in most cases, but the circumstances of the "previous" experience (when, where, and how the earlier experience occurred) are believed to be improbable or impossible.
