It’s called a memory Ally darling.
We can all recall parts of our past unless we have a disease called Amneisa (SP??)
Patronising award goes to ... ME !
Seriously though, all of us picture back when we were younger - Although im only 17 now lol. I live in the same area as always and can clearly picture parts of my past like every time I pass my old school or walk down Bethnal Green etc - It doesnt necessarily mean anything but it could ...

Did i miss something here??
Happens occasionally, feels really strange at times. One time that really sticks in my head, is the first time i listened to the CBB! album, when i got to “i’m sorry” i felt that i had already listened to it before.

The clinical name for deja vu is “paramnesia” – remembering something that hasn’t yet happened, or experiencing the feeling of having done something before. Some people suggest that deja vu constitutes proof that reincarnation exists... that a deja-vu experience is the remembrance of something similar from a past life that you happen to be experiencing at this moment in your present life. It’s fun to contemplate that sort of thing, but indeed it all is a bunch of horse dung.

Or it can be remembering something that you have already done that it similar.
ANother explanntion is that one part of the brain or something takes the info first so that when another part receives it, it seems as if you have thought it before when in actual fact you haven’t.

Deja vu indeed is likely to be a mere subconscious recollection of the concept of an event that has occurred in one’s own past, causing you to pause with that feeling, “I’ve experienced this before.”
And how about those “near-death” experiences, wherein someone dying (at the moment) feels that she/he is floating above the room – such as a hospital operating room – and is seeing himself and the others down below: During brain surgery wherein the patient has been kept conscious has exposed that sensation for what it really is. The patients, upon having a particular point of their brains stimulated in some fashion (electricity, usually) speak of the feeling that they are floating above everyone else in the room, and can see what’s happening to themselves. Further questioning, right at that point, reveals that they can only “see” themselves from about the chest down.... meaning that they aren’t really floating above the room, they are still inhabiting their bodies and they can only see what’s happening in their field of vision. It’s just a thing our brains do, and we are fully alive while that sort of thing is happening.
Consider all of the “alien abduction” scenarios. I’ve read about lots of them.... and, by golly, I TOO have had dreams of that nature! Dreams – that’s all they are, and nothing more. Wake up now.
