I have had a great epiphany. It makes so much sense!

    I’m missing something though. I feel that a deja vu has a different quality. A feeling of familiarity with something that you’re not supposed to be familiar with, almost predictive not quite a prediction. While having a flashback, traumatic or not, is a familiarity with something that you’re actually already familiar with. And it invokes different emotions of anger, fear, disappointment, joy, etc.
