If at the beginning of reading this text you feel that you have already lived through it, or that you have already read it before, it will not be because we have copied ourselves from other Internet writers, or from Lifestyle, but because you are probably living a leave vu , a phenomenon of the mind that consists in feeling that a new situation, such as arriving in a new city or meeting a person, is the repetition of something that has already happened.
More exists another phenomenon of the most frequent mind, also with an elegant French name and which you may not have heard of, although surely you have already experienced it: the jamais vu .
Have you experienced a JAMAIS VU? The opposite of deja vu
You wake up and take a while to recognize the face of that person who is 20 years old sleeping by your side; they tell you something with a word of daily use and it is as if they were telling you for the first time, and it takes time to recover its meaning; You enter a room in your house and it is as if you had never been there.If you do not suffer from Alzheimer's disease and you do not have symptoms associated with senility, it is very possible that you have experienced a jamais vu , a “never seen ”, and that would become a inexplicable sense of strangeness in front of people, situations or things in our daily lives .

It is very likely that you had a moment of jamais vu in childhood, especially with words.At some leisure time you didn't start repeating a word until it stopped making sense to you? I asked my children and they immediately mentioned two: democracy and fork .Surely you can remember that word that by force of saying again and again seemed to empty itself of meaning; and without realizing it, you were practicing a kind of experiment with your mind.
Chris Moulin , a British psychologist, conducted an experiment similar to this children's game in 2006, although magnified: he asked 92 volunteers who wrote the word door ( door ) 30 times within a minute, and then I made a small questionnaire.At least 60 participants felt that the word lost meaning and could not associate it with the object “door.” They had experienced a jamais vu .
As the deja vu , the jamais vu could considered as a misperception of our mind, which can occur because of a kind of tiredness or fatigue in the face of a repetitive fact.If you think about it, and do not repeat it much, this has a terrible connotation: it means that our mind is it can tire of the repeated vision of our loved ones.
Or we can see it from an optimistic perspective: it means that we can We hear a word like when we were children, or see the beloved face as if it were the first time.
Have you ever experienced a jamais vu , since you know what it is ? Share with us your experience, and read Deja vu: brain error or memories of past lives?
