I’VE BEEN HERE BEFORE!

It’s a strange sensation. A new place that seems familiar or an event that you’re sure has happened before.
How many of us have had this experience? Apparently over 70%. It’s called déjà vu and according to the
experts it’s not something new but has been happening to people for hundreds of years!
So, what explanations are there for this strange feeling that is both confusing and uncomfortable? Some
scientists think it is related to dreams and memory. It appears that although the majority of us cannot recall our
dreams, we actually store the memory of dreams in our long term memory. This deep memory can come back
sometimes when we are in a similar situation and makes us think that we have done this before.
However, as usual, not all experts agree. Those who believe in reincarnation – the idea that we have all lived
before – say that these feelings are fragments of memories from previous lives. But, whatever the reason for
déjà vu, one thing it does show is how complicated and amazing our brains are and that we are a long way
from understanding completely how the brain, and in particular, how our memories work.
