The Deja vu Things

                                                                    The Deja vu Thing

Almost every person living their beautiful life has gone through strange feelings of the familiarity of the events being experienced in the present, even though they never did in reality. This extraordinary experience is called "Deja vu" and is the most widely debatable topic around the world.

This feeling of familiarity is, of course, known as Deja vu, which is a French term meaning "already seen," and it reported to occur on an occasional basis in 60-80% of people. It's an experience that almost always fleeting and mainly occurs at random.

Our human mind has always been the greatest mystery and a place of many unexplained phenomena which, if detailed, might lead to a new beginning of the world. Most of us want to see our future to make it a better one, and on the other hand, some people deny this fact as according to them if the present lived to the fullest, then there would be zero possibility that our future would go in vain.

In my opinion, the future which is lived in the moment is more likely to happen. In our day to day life, there are many incidents in which we encounter the crazy feeling that we have already experienced a particular moment in the past. Let's take an example of visiting a hotel first time, sometimes the present moments that are going around in the surroundings are felt like seen already even though, in reality, you have never visited that hotel before. How is it possible? It makes me feel nostalgic most of the time. Many great thinkers thought about the theory that there could be a glitch in the matrix of space and time that results in the occurrence of such events, but who knows the reality? It's just one of many theories that were proposed to reveal the truth behind the Deja vu thing, but always, it felt like something is relay missing.

So a question comes to our mind about why it happens. The region of the brain associated with Deja vu may have pinned down, but what causes it? In general, the most known theories are below:

1. dual processing 

2. hologram theory 

3. neurological

4. divided attention

5. memory

None of the arguments holds all the answers, but each gives a unique opportunity to reveal in the paper-thin yet remarkably robust experience that we call consciousness. The two most accepted theories briefed below:

Dual processing:

The "Dual Processing" theory, for example, holds that Deja vu happens when two cognitive processes are momentarily out of sync. Another theory posits that Deja vu occurs when memory we have consciously forgotten (whether from real life, a book, a film, or even a dream) connects with a part of our present experience.

Hologram theory:

According to it, there was a Dutch psychiatrist Hermon Sno who proposed that memories are like holograms meaning that you can recreate the entire three-dimensional image from any fragment of the whole. At the same time, other researchers also agree that some small pieces of familiarity may be the seed that creates the Deja vu feeling.
