What Does It Mean When: *Deja Vu*

Ok to begin with this isn't actually a question 'dream-related', at least, that's not the area I've been experiencing this phenomenon most. I know everyone has speculated and discussed this particular phenomenon to death but I thought I would bring it anyway. I'm curious to know what others' viewpoints are on the subject?

It used to happen to me periodically when I was younger. I'm not sure how far back exactly it goes cause I stopped keeping a daily journal of my daily life after age 6. And due to a brain injury when I was younger my recollection of my childhood is a bit 'hazy' in certain areas. Anyway, skipping ahead, it happened periodically when I was in my teens, but I just chocked it up (as 'most' unquestioning folks do out there) to the extent of "huh, that was weird?"

Whether I sound convincing or not I swear I'm being honest with this next part (as best I can) -- Right around 2011 I started coming, as most internet commenters refer to as "awake", or at least, I assume that's what this is? --And this mystery person I keep dreaming about, as soon as I started taking the initiative (cause I have absolutely ZERO friends and family to 'help me' in my personal life) to start making plans to go see this person - it started happening more frequently! Actually, that's not exactly accurate now that I think about it, lemme go back:

It actually started happening with increased frequency ever since the dawn of the new millennium. Deja vu, it happens when I'm awake. It's hard to say what will trigger it exactly, it's usually different things. One time it was something as simple as my cat running by the corner of my vision, suddenly I stop dead in my tracks cause something feels "off"??? I 'swear' I recall having LIVED this moment in time already. I can't remember when exactly, or how exactly everything is, but it feels pretty spot on. Absolutely EVERYTHING around feels in the exact same place. This thing was happening over there, that thing was happening over here, this was that color, that was this shape, y'all get the picture?

Anyway, for a while there, it stopped happening, then picked up with intensified velocity around 2011. Then ever since then there's like periods where it stops. And the reason I'm writing this article now is become it's suddenly become relevant again.

At one point or another it got to the point where it was happening at least once every night. Just these past two night it's happened while I'm watching tv, I think to myself, "I SWEAR I've seen this already, was I alone when I watched this, or with other people like I am now? Although I KNOW I was doing something with my hands (like I am now) while watching it!" -It's like a constant recurrence of moments in my life where the exact moment that I'm living right now feels like a memory. If I thought about it beforehand I can't for the life of me recall when exactly I ended up thinking of it before? And it's so precise too. Like even the shade of lighting in the room last night was a detail.

So I'll understand if this sounds like a very arbitrary subject to most people here but I just thought I would ask. What does it mean for the 'experiencer' to be having increased deja vu moments, and what can I expect ahead of me? (Literally?)...
