What is Déjà senti?

Déjà senti is when you feel like you've already experienced something, even though it’s brand new to you.

Imagine you're eating your favorite snack, like chocolate chips. Suddenly, you remember a time you were eating chocolate chips before, but not just any time: the exact same moment, like you were sitting in the same place, feeling the same feelings. That’s déjà senti, it's like having a memory of something that hasn’t happened yet.

Think of your brain as a video recorder. Sometimes, when you see or hear something new, your brain hits replay on an old memory. It’s not just the same thing, it feels like you’ve lived it already! This can make things feel extra familiar, even if they’re completely fresh.

Your brain is always working hard to connect new experiences with old ones. Sometimes it gets a little mixed up and thinks something new is actually something you've known all along. That’s why you might feel like you’ve been somewhere before, or that you already knew what someone was going to say next!
