I have long attributed déja vu to a peculiar looping phenomenon in the mind. It's hard to describe. I don't have any real facts to base it on, just that when I experience it I often "skip down" a few more levels and revisit earlier times I had déja vu. It feels like recursion of neural pathways or something. It does make me feel strange, but I try to enjoy the ride when it happens.
- leafygreene 5y agoIt's that I can see the future for a few seconds that bothers me most. Not the “I've been here before” but the “I've been here before and I know what happens next” and that exact thing happens. It's that few seconds of clairvoyance I find superitchy. I'm fairly rational, however. I'm sure there's an explanation that's not magical.
