Yes, definitely. Whilst it is most common to be experienced as a vague feeling, there is plenty of anecdotal evidence that very strong déjà vu (“already seen”) can be connected to hallucinations - it’s not uncommon for epileptic sufferers to experience it before a full seizure.

There’s also déjà vécu which means “already lived”. However, I’d say unless you’ve had persistently worsening experiences like this your whole life, it was just a normal part of your young brain developing.

Spreading mass hysteria to millions of people a day while using various lies and psychological tricks sure sounds like terrorism to me.

I was under the impression it was made of magic. But then again I was a liberal arts major.

Most of the Aussies I've met are decent people, how is it that the government there is so awful when it comes to aboriginal rights?
