Is there a name for this phenomenon so I can learn more about it?
Before I start, I'm NOT talking about 'The Mandela Effect' but its kinda similar...
I find myself watching stuff on TV thats brand new - Like just been released - Never been shown before. Its original stuff like 'Euphoria' and something in the UK called 'The Virtues'...
What's happening is that I'm positive that I've seen parts of them before. For example the final 'musical scene' in Euphoria. Not only do I feel I've watched it before, but I can remember watching it in a certain place I lived many years ago. I can remember clearly sitting in my old office in San Diego, watching it on an old cathode ray TV that I'd rigged up to a 'Directv' satellite system... As clear as I can remember watching it last night on a 46inch 4K LG in my room, here in the UK...
With "The Virtues' the pivotal scene where he confronts his childhood attacker who is now a bed bound invalid, I felt positive I watched that scene before, with the same actors, filmed in the same way, on the same set, a few years ago... But I had never seen it before - It was brand new!
Another example would be 'My Name Is Earl' - I can remember watching them when they were first shown in the UK back in about 1999/2000 when I lived at my old house. I can remember sitting on my old sofa, watching them with my wife, but when you look up the actual release dates, My Name Is Earl wasn't even shown in the states until September 2005 and not in the UK until after that ! Yet I can remember watching it back at the old house that I sold well before 2005 - Well before 2005... And I could never have watched it with my wife as we had divorced by September 05 and gone our own ways... Therefore an impossible memory...
I keep getting this more and more - Any ideas why or what its called? Other than 'mental illness' (Which it may well be) but that isn't exactly helpful to me LOL
EDITED TO ADD thats its NOT Deja Vu either. Again, kinda similar, but MUCH MORE SPECIFIC that a vague feeling that I've 'seen it before'
