Simple. I just imagine what can possibly happen, and decide that some of those things aren't going to happen. That's one way I tell the future.

Yes but my point is that in the newtonian laws time is fixed, in a world of posibilitys time is still fixed its just a lot less obvious. Like playing a game of checkers i always win cause i think about 10 moves ahead of everyone else. In turn these "thoughts" of reality become reality so therefore if i look back on it i was been precognative.
See the problem in what you say? Guessing the future is as good as precog.

Bam! Deja-Vu.
This is just another way it could happen, and until more research is done, this is an alternative explanation to precognition.

Its true that, that could cause DeJa Vu and possibly acounts for many. But the human brain is configured in different ways with every person yet there are still base systems that are needed. That standard explination of DeJa Vu is an old and dry one as far as i see it. Just saying its a random brain miss fire when its of things that aren't understood yet and contains things that are unfarmiliar is one thing but that removes the "something similar happened" from the equation.
So its down to brain miss fires. Which the familiar feeling wouldnt pop up with every DeJa Vu if it was and random brain activity is actualy signs of certain mental disorders and some times even brain tumors. Both of which apply a pressure on the brain, all which effects the electric field in the brain and how it acts. So DeJa Vu could also be a form of psychosis, so a large majority of people have mental disorders?
See all together it doesn't quite add up to me.
