We often thought that humans are the most intelligent creatures the nature ever created thus we rank ourselves in the highest form of animals for above all species only we humans can talk and formulate words, not to mention the complexity of our brains that which explains how our species thrive for thousands of years.

However, possessing such a complex brain can somehow lead to experiencing weird and unexplained phenomena that are not just true for some but in fact, can and will happen to every individual. For instance, you are playing with your cousin then suddenly you realized something odd about the scenario because you think that it happened already.

Yeah, I experience that multiple times already. That feeling is somehow related to time traveling. The feeling that you came in the future upon realizing that you had been in that activity in the past. It feels incredible, isn’t it? But in many cases, the feeling was weird, and from time to time that you experience this, you’ll begin to ask yourself, “how is this possible? Why the hell am I experiencing this thing? Am I insane?”.

The answer is very simple. It is possible because our brains are complicated enough to understand. Always remember that just like a memory card or a hard disk, it stores data and can retain the information for a very long time. Although we can barely remember a thing about some memories, our brains can keep them, and from time to time particles of that memories can jam with the activity we currently experience because our brains remember the resemblance of the scene. The reason why we experience this phenomenon is that we didn’t know for sure, however, experts claim that our rhinal cortex – part of the brain that can recognize the similarity of the events we experience – is the one to blame.

Déjà vu - is the strange feeling of having already experienced the current situation.

In many cases, this is normal but if it occurs more often, I think you need to seek medical consultation. I’ve searched through the internet trying to find a psychological explanation for Déjà vu, upon scanning, I ran through an interesting case of a 23-year-old British man suffering from anxiety, and unlike any other people I know with the same psychiatric problem, this man was experiencing chronic Déjà vu. Strange as it might be but believe it or not, it’s rare at least for me because according again to the context, chronic déjà vu can usually be observed in people with dementia and it’s highly likely to people like them because of the natural effect of dementia but not those people with anxiety because despite their unexplained fear these people still are in control and aware of what is going on in their head.

So, what do you think? Do Déjà vu mean time travel or it has something to do with psychological explanation? It is up to you to decide.
