When you are sleeping, the first stage you are in the synchronized sleep stage, which occupies most of the time you are asleep. Another name for this stage is the term NREM (non-rapid-eye-movement), during this stage you usually have a relatively low pulse and blood pressure, little activation of the autonomic nervous system and usually you are not dreaming in this stage of sleep. In the next stage of sleep you are in a desynchronized sleep, this is where most of your dreaming takes place. Another name for this stage of sleep is D-sleep or REM (rapid-eye-movement). You are in a D-sleep for only 25% of the time you are asleep so even though it feels like you have been dreaming the entire night your dreams don't even take up half of the time you are asleep!

__Deja Vu __ Deja Vu can happen to anyone at any time so it is very hard to track and there are not many theories on what we expience it. Study has shown that at least 70% of people have experienced deja vu before. Philosophers, psychologists,and paranormal experts have all come up with their reasons but no one has come up with a stong enough argument. Sigmund Freud theorized that these experiences resulted from repressed desires or memories related to a stressful event that people could no longer access as regular memory.

"They have since determined that the medial temporal lobe is involved in our conscious memory. Within the medial temporal lobe are the parahippocampal gyrus, the rhinal cortex and the amygdala. John D.E. Gabrieli at Stanford University found in 1997 that the hippocampus enables us to consciously recall events. He also found that the parahippocampal gyrus enables us to determine what's familiar and what isn't (and without actually retrieving a specific memory to do it)."
