I just had deja vu. Well kind of. I was driving down the street and I suddenly remembered waiting at the doctors a few weeks ago where I was flipping a pen and it landed business end down on my palm leaving a small mark. I don’t know why I thought about it, but it was just a fleeting thought, but it instantly brought back a memory “Hey, I remember that other time before when I was at that same doctor’s and was flipping that same pen and it landed the exact same way and left the exact same mark… hey when was that?” :eek: Deja vu chills down my spine. Now, I’ve only been to that doctor’s office once in my life, so it was some sort of a memory glitch.
a) What do I call that? It’s kind of like deja vu, but it happens with a memory long after the fact. My initial reaction was “Cool, ex post facto deja vu” but you could be stabbed in some social circles for saying a thing like that. Any suggestions?
b) Is it a tumor, sleep deprivation, 1920’s death ray or onset of schizophrenia?
All I know is that if it starts happening frequently I’m seeing a neurologist

It’s a glitch in the Matrix. Check to see if any windows turned into brick walls.
Nobody knows exactly what it is, but it falls in that lovely twilight of the mind in the realm somewhere between bizarre and cool.
It is not a sign of a brain tumor or the onset of schizophrenia.
Sleep dep and death rays - you’re on your own.
PS You don’t by any chance have more than six cafe au lait spots more than three cm in diameter? Because that with any blind spots in your vision would be a sign of a brain tumor.
I don’t know, I’m covered by tiny subdermal barely visible moles. For all I know they might just be midget cafe au lait spots. How do I test for blind spots in my vision? I do tend to get a lot of stars and floaters from time to time, but I hit my head a lot as a child.
Subdermal moles?? Subdermal??? Alert KarlGauss. You need to be a research subject.
Where they will hit you in the head as a benefit, so you won’t have to do it yourself any more.
Hm… if you have much clearer hearing in one ear than the other, and tinnitus in the unclear ear, you might have a brain tumor.
Sorry, now I’m just playing with him. I know.
