Unconscious Deja Vu: I've dreamed this dream before

The experience is one that you may have had. You will be bopping around your basement vault, usually doing something completely routine, and all of the sudden, you will swear to yourself you have done this exact same thing, in the exact same way as you did before.

Its not the same as thinking you have performed the act you are doing previously, but rather, that you have lived the exact same moment more than once. In other words, you are revisiting a moment you have already lived and are experiencing it the exact same way you did previously, except you are aware of that fact.

An example may be that you are tying your shoe on your back porch. While most people have tied their shoe hundreds of times, a case of Deja Vu may mean that you feel as though you are repeating a specific moment in time again. The sun is shining the same way, the breeze is blowing as it was before, and the time of day are the same. The experience leaves most people slightly unsettled, simply because of its apparent randomness.

While it is a common experience, there is, as of yet, no real explanation, scientific or otherwise. Some scientists have linked it to dissociative identity disorder, or multiple personality disorder. However, the common nature of the phenomena and the inability of researchers to recreate the experience in a lab setting has left science unable to offer more than educated conjecture.

Does the mind have untapped intrinsic knowledge outside of the limits of time and space? If so, is there a way for us to become in control of these experiences? Leave your ideas and thoughts below, or maybe you have already done that, many times before!!
