Déjà vu, (from the French language for "already seen"), was a term used to describe the impression of believing to have already experienced something that is actually being experienced for the first time. Someone who had a déjà vu erroneously believed that events were repeating themselves. ENT: "Future Tense") The corresponding term in Klingonese was "nIb'poH." (TNG: "Cause and Effect")
Tuvok referred to the phenomenon as "paradoxical state-dependent associative phenomenon." In 2373, Lieutenant Tuvok said that Ensign Harry Kim was experiencing it when he claimed that the USS Voyager had visited the star system before where the Taresian homeworld is located. (VOY: "Favorite Son")
In 2368, the crew of the USS Enterprise-D was caught in a temporal causality loop that made them relive the same twenty-hours over and over again. Every time the loop reset, so did the memory of the crew until eventually residual memories began imprinting on everyone, including Doctor Beverly Crusher. Many crew members described the familiarity with things they were experiencing while caught in a particulate loop similar to having a déjà vu. Dr. Crusher, however, pointed out that while in a déjà vu one only thinks that events repeat themselves, in this case, they actually were. (TNG: "Cause and Effect")
Harry Kim felt an alternate reality might explain his intense sense of déjà vu regarding a region of space in the Delta Quadrant until a retrovirus was found to be the actual cause of the unexplained memories. (VOY: "Favorite Son")
