And of course, there’s the modern Hollywood-hatched idea that déjà vu results from a glitch in the Matrix. Plato described something similar to déjà vu as evidence of past lives. Carl Jung thought the experience was related to the collective unconscious. Sigmund Freud looked at déjà vu and saw repressed desires. Over the centuries, humans often took déjà vu as evidence of what they already believed. But people had the experience long before it had a name. The French term déjà vu, which translates into English as “already seen,” was coined in 1876 by French philosopher and psychical researcher Émile Boirac. Experts estimate roughly two out of three people have had the experience at least once. Still, the feeling may be so intense - and so real - that you almost know what you’ll find when you walk into the kitchen. This is the first time you’ve ever visited this city. You visit a friend’s apartment and have the overwhelming sense you’ve been here before, but that can’t be the case.
Déjà vu is the peculiar feeling that you’ve experienced something before, while at the same time knowing that you haven’t. If you have the peculiar feeling you've read this before, don't be alarmed.
