This year I’ve been having so many moments of déjà vu. You know what I feel like? I feel like I’m a video game character that keeps respawning. Like I didn’t win the challenge and I have to try again.
Anyone else feels like this?
So it got me interested in thinking- what is Déjà vu and why do I feel it?
Déjà vu is french for “already seen” and it basically means you are currently feeling or experiencing something that you already have. Some of my déjà vu moments are conversations with people, meeting people or even some random activity I’m doing.
Alright so I’m reading up on Wikipedia, some people think its prophecy, precognition and might have paranormal context… but then science just thinks it’s an anomaly in memory. Déjà vu can also be pathological (meaning a sign or symptom of disease) but can also but non- pathological happening more in persons in fragile conditions or under high pressure.
Basically, apart from the temporal lobe being responsible, déjà vu is thought to be caused by triggering of a memory or having repeated sensation- basically read the wiki page.
Either way- I like my explanation better! I like the idea that I’ve gotten a chance to respawn lol.
Today has been rough and it was very hard to even write an article. This vaccine has really kicked me down and I will probably have to edit my article soon!
Do you experience déjà vu? What do you think causes it ?
Merry Christmas!
