Hmmm, I believe I have first-hand experience with this. Often as I go about my day, I get sudden flashes of a scene recalled. It feels visceral and real - how I imagine electrodes stimulating the brain might bring forth feelings and memories. They're usually just scenes, with a strong feeling attached.
These "memories" aren't recalled from my life, often it would be impossible for them to be, and yet they feel like mine.
I imagine there's some medical explanation for this, but I've no desire to approach a doctor with such symptoms!
- otippat 4y agoAre you talking about déjà vu?
- desertraven 4y agoMy understanding of déjà vu is that it applies to the moment you're in aka "it feels like this has happened before". What I'm referring to is a sudden recollection of a moment, which isn't the current one. But the feeling is quite similar to déjà vu, just paired with imagery. I'm struck with a strong image in my mind, and a feeling that "that has happened before".
