I've learned several times over about how a particular smell, taste, or other sensation could lead to a feeling of déjà vu, or even a full blown memory. I've experienced this many times growing up, as most people do, but I had a rather strong one just a few moments ago. I was walking toward my bedroom in the dark, the window was open with a fan blowing air inside, and I was stepping from the stagnant warmth into the clammy sort of cool air... And suddenly I was walking in with the intention to finish catching up on Stargate. I had such a strong flashback to the time I was watching the series a few years back that I had completely forgotten everything else for a moment. It startled me so much when I realised where and when I was, I was dumbfounded at how easily I slipped into a memory like that.
Please have a safe and enjoyable Memorial Day, and please reserve a moment of peace for those who have made it possible to do so.
