I’m wondering if this happens to anyone else, or if it’s just me. I know pretty much everyone experiences deja vu on occasion. The source of these feelings is not understood, but I like one explanation in particular: your mind has a kind of electrical storm that causes an experience to pause before being processed. This causes you to experience the same thing after it’s already happened, so you feel like it’s doubled, although you cannot pinpoint when you thought it had happened in the past.
Now, my particular variant doesn’t fit that theory very well.
