Have you ever felt like this?

[tomorrow]

It may seem a little weird but it actually happens to me.  Sometimes when I visit a place for the first time I get a feeling that I have already seen this place before.  Similar is the case of a particular situation, like talking to a person about a subject and I suddenly recollects that this situation has already happened in my life. I become confused on this and don’t know how/why it happens.


Last week I was on pleasure trip with my friends and when we went to a waterfall I felt I had already been there before.  But I don’t know when and with whom I was there.  Isn’t that interesting!


I don’t know what to call this but it makes me nervous sometimes. Have you ever gone through anything like this?

It's called a Deja Vu and I think everyone around here experienced an episode like this before, it happened to me quite often when I was a kid/teen but as I grew up I haven't had one in years. It's a really weird sensation and I never understood what deja vu's meant, I always assumed it's my subconcious mind that's trying to send a message via a dream. I had situations when I met people for the first time in real life and felt like I knew them my whole life, it's creepy.

Sounds like a very basic Deja Vú experience, like @fuzyon said. It happens to me all the time. The science on the phenomenon is still unclear, of course some will say it's just our natural ability to glimpse into the future or whatever, but actual scientists have suggested that it might be because of a split-second difference in moving information from one side of the brain to another, or that it's just the brain checking its memories. Here are a couple of articles on it:

Yes I agree. It's called Deja Vu and I believe there are a lot of people who encountered this before. I've always had Deja Vu before and it is a bit freaky since that particular scene seemed to happen to me before. I've also had experience wherein I get confuse between dreams and reality just like the one I have mentioned in one of my post here.
