Reliving moments

Do you know that word?

The word you can only say in French?

Déjà vu?

According to Wikipedia, (and what will we do without wikipedia?) Déjà vu is also called paramnesia. It is the experience of feeling sure that one has witnessed or experienced a new situation previously (an individual feels as though an event has already happened or has happened in the near past). Sometimes, you relive a moment in your life from a dream.

I've had a couple of "relived moments". It is a little eerie I must say but at the same time, it's interesting. I find it so interesting because you think you've seen this scene or relived this scene before but your mind is so blank you're unsure of anything at that moment. It makes you think whether you've just predicted the future. But that "uplifting" moment only lasts so long. And once again, were back to living our lives as it always was: living in present day, regretting past actions and trusting what some may call "gut feeling" with lingering hope of a better future. Do you agree?

But here's a question to ponder... From the events that you remember (or think you remember), is it necessarily true that it happened? Or do you want to believe that it did? I know you want to say that you remember it, so it definitely happened. But if you were to conduct an experiment on yourself by watching say.... a movie or whatever. And then question yourself what you saw in the movie months later (or even just a month later). You'd be surprise to compare what you "remember" and what you "think you remembered"...

I did it. So, I would know.

Mind boggling, no?
