Sooner or later, almost every person has the feeling that he has already been here, he saw it, he said so. And some moments seem to be relived, and it is known exactly what will happen in the next minute.
What is the deja vu effect?
A person remembers people he does not know, recognizes the furnishings of rooms where he has never been - this is the so-called déjà vu effect.
Psychologists describe déjà vu as a phenomenon in which a person feels that he has already been in this situation. Some may even tell you what happens next. At the same time, déjà vu is usually accompanied by a feeling of unreality of what is happening. And the person himself, who has fallen into the space of déjà vu, has the confidence that he can predict the future.
Learning déjà vu
More than 120 years have passed since the time when the effect of déjà vu became seriously interested. The first to turn to its scientific consideration was the French psychologist Emile Bouarak.
Sigmund Freud called the state of déja vu supernatural and miraculous, but explained it by the existence of unconscious desires and fantasies in every person. But Freud's student, Carl Gustav Jung, did not support his teacher. At the age of 12, Karl experienced this effect and from then until the end of his life believed that he lived in two parallel worlds.
The facts speak for themselves - theories of the past are limited and poor in their explanations of this phenomenon. But modern scientists are asking questions for which there are no clear answers yet. The possibility of explaining the phenomenon arises only when the study is carried out, and does not take into account individual facts. But, unfortunately, so far no one has carried out such multifaceted studies.
Modern psychiatrists explain déjà vu as a certain mental disorder that manifests itself very often, it can be in the nature of hallucinations. In addition, deja vu in people suffering from brain diseases manifests itself much more often than in healthy people. Therefore, doctors call this effect memory disorder.
Parapsychologists explain this phenomenon by reincarnation, that is, the transmigration of a person's soul after his death into the body of another. But science does not recognize this explanation, since it is more a matter of faith, rather than facts and evidence.
Whatever versions are put forward about the explanation of the effect of déjà vu, one thing can be said with certainty. This phenomenon is a certain kind of memory impairment associated with biochemical changes in the human brain. It can be one-time, absolutely not interfering with the person visited, or it can constantly haunt him and even negatively affect daily activities. After all, almost everything that a person cannot explain scares him.
