storyteller and deja vu

Submitted by Crystal Leonard on Sun, 04/26/2009 - 7:47pm.
Our discussion about memory got me thinking about deja vu. I experience deja vu about once every 2 months. Every time it happens I try to find a way to justify the sensation, but I never have a good explanation. Perhaps the fact that the storyteller creates memories as a way to explain changes in the cognitive unconscious is responsible for deja vu. Perhaps deja vu is a glitch in the storyteller's memory making process in which some input causes the storyteller to create a "memory" out of nothing.
