Abstract: A Legendrian link is called a d'ej`a vu link if its components can be connected by a positive Legendrian isotopy but this isotopy cannot be embedded. This is the contact geometric analogue of a pair of events in a spacetime such that there are d'ej`a vu moments on every future-directed timelike path between them. We construct d'ej`a vu links in several geometrically relevant situations and discuss their basic properties.
