or experience that one has seen or done something before. For example, you are waiting
in line to check out at the grocery store and the lady behind you asks you to hand her a
pack of gum. Suddenly you get an overwhelming feeling that you have been there in that
exact same spot, talking to the same lady, even the same brand of gum. Even though
