We sat in front of Professor Wang, counting on him to give us, or rather me, guidance.

Professor Wang said,

The feeling of déjà vu that Xinya often has, you have already learned from the previous doctors, and it can also be searched from the Internet, foreign psychologists use a term called déjà vu or déjà vu phenomenon, and some are called hallucinatory memory, which refers to the déjà vu of things or scenes that have not been experienced as if they have been experienced at a certain time and place, also known as the hippocampal effect.

A study in the United States shows that two-thirds of adults have experienced "déjà vu", and the more imaginative people are, those who travel a lot, those who have rich experiences, and those who often read novels, are more likely to experience "déjà vu". Moreover, people are prone to this feeling in a state of exhaustion and stress.

"How can I treat it, and what will be the serious consequences if I don't treat it?" is my biggest concern.

Professor Wang smiled: "Since the sense of déjà vu is so common and does not cause obvious harm, generally speaking, there is no need to make a big fuss, and it can be regarded as a normal phenomenon." ”

Xinya looked relieved, and took the opportunity of Professor Wang to turn her head and glared at me fiercely.

She must not have expected it, Professor Wang turned her head and continued:

But Xinya's situation cannot be explained simply by déjà vu. ”

Professor Wang's words gave Xinya, who was still a little proud just now, a slap in the face, and she stuck out her tongue at me and rolled her eyes.

"Why do you have such a sense of déjà vu?" Xinya asked Professor Wang.

"Scientists have done a lot of research on this problem, trying to explain it from all angles, but none of the theories are completely satisfactory. ”

Professor Wang went on to say that the relatively reasonable explanation is that human memories are all "classified", and the scenes we have experienced with different characteristics are stored in different memory systems, but we don't know it ourselves, so in our opinion, they are just fragments of information. When we see a new scene, some parts of it may stimulate some of our memories, mobilize the different memory systems in the brain to match them, combine the pieces of information in a way that we can understand, and once an element of the scene matches the past experience, we feel that this is a real memory, and we will have a sense of "déjà vu".

Didn't the doctor last time do the same?

I was a little disappointed, but listened to Professor Wang continue:

You may have noticed that there are several conditions for 'déjà vu', one is the visual stimulus that you say you are seeing, that is, the scene you say you are seeing (or you may have constructed it in real time based on a certain description), the second is the existing information source, that is, the memory fragments in your brain, and the third is the matching combination of visual stimulus elements and the memory fragments in your brain. When you match it, you will have a sense of déjà vu, and people who have a strong sense of this will even think that you have actually seen the scene in front of you or that you have definitely been to this place.

'Déjà vu' is presented in three main ways----- having been to this place, having happened before, and having felt this way. But you use your consciousness to judge and make sure that you have never been to this place, that this has never happened in your life, but the feeling is so strong that some people think that it must have happened in the previous life, and they have inadvertently glimpsed the situation of the previous life. In fact, it was just that the scene at that time contained certain elements that could arouse active ideas in the subconscious, and it was a psychological hallucination created by the subconscious......

Xinya listened very carefully, but I was more concerned about what the professor said earlier, that is, Xinya's situation may not be a simple matter of déjà vu, because I basically saw the content of the professor on the Internet when I was doing my homework in private, and I was concerned about what kind of mystery Professor Wang could give.

"Professor Wang, can Xinya's situation be explained by déjà vu?" I took an opportunity to interrupt the professor's introduction.

"Okay, let's talk about Xinya now. ”

Professor Wang picked up the water glass on the table and took a sip, and continued: "Xinya has had the experience of complete amnesia, and her memory of the past is once incomplete, and it is easier to understand the sense of déjà vu. Why does Xinya's situation seem to be not a simple matter of déjà vu? Déjà vu usually happens to many people to a greater or lesser extent, but it is not so frequent and intense that there is no need to seek treatment.

Xinya's situation has certain peculiarities. First of all, her déjà vu basically happens frequently in scenes related to you or your family life, and other scenes rarely or even never happen, or do not have the conditions to happen; secondly, unlike ordinary people's déjà vu that occurs in the experience of the current scene, Xinya's déjà vu not only occurs in the experience of the current scene, but also happens in the scenes she constructs according to your narration; more importantly, and more interestingly, Xinya has the behavior of crossing and substitution while producing a sense of déjà vu, and reproduces the words and deeds of the characters in the scene。

This is probably the first case in my case. ”

I think Professor Wang's later remarks hit the crux of the problem and grasped the essence of Xinya's problem, and Xinya may have found the right person this time.

"Is there any effective treatment for this situation?" I asked, staring at Professor Wang.

The more I listened, the more I felt that the matter was very serious, but Xinya looked calm and indifferent. When the professor asked her to go out and talk to me alone for a while, Xinya felt even more relieved and replied briskly, "Great, just go out for a walk." ”

"Do you love her?" I pushed the door open, and before I could sit down, Professor Wang asked me with a grimace.

I really don't know how to answer, I feel that Xinya and Xinya are already like relatives, if it is not for the wife who can't let go, it should be completely acceptable to live with her, in fact, we are also very tacit, and we have been like a couple in and out.

In particular, I have become accustomed to Xinya's nanny care as my wife did when she was alive, and perhaps this is why I have a natural concern for her condition.

In addition, under the same roof, especially when Xinya sometimes doesn't care too much about wearing close-fitting clothes with obvious body contours, I naturally have physiological impulses, after all, I am not old to that extent, Xinya is a young woman, but it is within the range of restraint.

As for whether it is appropriate to use the word "love" to sum up between us, I have not thought about it and cannot say.

"I just let you out for a while, and when I was talking to Xinya alone, do you know what Xinya said? She said that the first time she saw you, she felt very kind and familiar, and she always had the illusion that you should be her husband, or that her husband should be like you. When asked why she had such an impression, she said that she 'couldn't say it clearly, but as soon as we met, I felt that there was a fate, maybe it was love at first sight'. ”

I remembered that when Xinya went to the wrong bed for breakfast the next day, she said "I can't tell you", is that what I mean?
