17. Déjà Vu!
The term déjà vu is actually a French word that simply means “already seen.” It makes sense to just say what the term is rather than the term itself. However, it’s a fun word, right? Simply put, déjà vu is the feeling you get when you believe you experienced something already. Some even like to call it a case of precognition or a future vision, even though it isn’t.
Déjà Vu feels so real that it is truly hard to claim something did not really happen. The reason for this is merely a small brain ordeal that many people go through. The feeling of déjà vu is closely related to the issues that happen with temporal lobe epilepsy. Essentially, it’s an epileptic electrical discharge in the brain. Those with true epilepsy will experience stuff like this far more. They too will be completely defensive that something happened, when it didn’t.
