Everyone treats deja vu as harmless and moves on. I don’t know if it’s happening to you but I’ve seen a ridiculous increase in deja vu over the last several years where I could swear to you that event most definitely happened, and it lasts for a solid minute (and yes my brain is healthy, I’m fully aware of certain medical conditions that cause it).

But my main point here is think about what deja vu actually is. A moment feels like it already happened, in exact detail, right before it happens. And we have no real idea as to why it’s happening. The science community doesn’t have a real, true answer. It’s like a something looping or duplicating behind the scenes, as if our life has already been lived before. Are you having an increase in deja vu lately?
