10 Most Compelling Pieces Of Evidence That Prove Alternate Realities Are Real
7. Deja Vu
It's one of the most singularly peculiar experiences you can have as a human being, and yet, it's happened to nearly everyone: the uncanny sensation of deja vu, where you enter a situation or do an action or see something, and get the feeling that it's happened before. Usually it's put down to some misfiring of the brain, perhaps retrofitting the memory to think that something's more familiar than it really is (for whatever reason). Even more strange is deja vecu, which is the feeling that you know what's going to happen next, too. Then there's alter vu, which is when someone remembers their history differently. Even freakier in this case is that they realise the world around them is unfamiliar, because they recognise both the history they recall, and the one that's unfolding around them at the same time. It's like a more extreme version of deja vu, and there's been a dozen or so examples of it happening, with the implication from some being that the feelings are perhaps actually memories from other versions of ourselves, in other universes. Freaky.
