2021-12-05 21:02:24 Why does deja vu arise? There are two possible answers to this question

1) You perceive information that you have only recently learned as information that you learned a long time ago.
For example, what you learned this morning seems like something you've known since childhood. This is an exaggeration, but a demonstrable one.
Something similar can happen with new information. You see a new place. You look away, and then you bring it back to the same place, a few seconds have passed, yet your brain thinks you saw that picture many, many years ago.

2) You may indeed have encountered something similar. But your brain has carefully deleted the memory of the source. So the situation may appear to be exactly the same. However, this is probably not the case.
Still, subconsciously you can feel or understand the outcome of some situations without understanding where you got this information.

Don't ascribe superpowers to yourself and don't blame the higher powers - it's just a great job of your subconscious mind Open / Comment
