I've always harbored this secret (until now, ha!) conviction that deja vue is the universe's way of telling me that I'm on the right track. I think I developed this theory in college. Freshman year, I was constantly having flashes of deja vue, and it was a great year - sophomore year, not so much - and so on.
Not that I've ever formally collected any data, but I do notice myself feeling anxious when I haven't felt that flash of familiarity for a while. Or rather, I feel relieved once I do, not having noticed until then that I was feeling tense.
Anyway, despite what the folks who wrote The Matrix would have us believe, I've always found it reassuring...a sort of, "Ah, yes, there we go, back on track," sort of feeling.
I wish I had a good example to share. It's been a while; which, come to think of it, is kind of unsettling.

Like rebooting your hard drive! or ?
I was just realizing how rare dv has gotten for me. I'm not sure what it means for me
I'm relieved to report that I felt a strange sense of familiarity during lunch duty today.
Of course, that may just be the result of having said, "Can you show me a safer way to do that?" about a MILLION times so far this year. It could start to seem familiar.
