8. The Frequency of Déjà Vu: How Common Is It?
Déjà vu is a surprisingly common phenomenon, with studies indicating that up to 60-70% of people have experienced it at least once in their lifetime. The frequency can vary based on several factors, including age, stress levels, and travel frequency. Younger individuals, particularly those aged 15 to 25, report déjà vu more frequently, possibly due to an active exploration of new environments and experiences. Additionally, those who travel often or encounter diverse cultures may experience déjà vu more due to repeated exposure to new, yet strangely familiar, stimuli.
