It happens when your mind sends things to your long term memory at the same time as your short term memory, instead of waiting to transfer the info. So what is happening feels like a memory, instead of the present.

So, deja vu is basically just a mistake of the brain causing you to think it's happened, when really, you've just experienced it for the first time.

What is it when several things happen at the same time?

Synchronicity is the word that may be used to describe a situation where "several things" are happening at the same time. For example, while you are on the telephone, two other important phone calls also come in, UPS is ringing your door bell to deliver a package, and three electronic messages are coming in at that moment which require immediate attention. This confluence of events happens quite often. What makes synchronicity notable is that it often provokes anxiety, stress, or unhappiness. When good things happen at the same time, we hardly need or want to to know what word to use.
