i get it when i travel / move someplace new. keep thinking i'm running into people from where i was before. it passes in time. as new people start to be familiar to me, i guess. on their own terms.
the 'feeling of significance'... familiarity... whatever... that might be correlated with temporal lobe goings on.
i get those kinds of feelings when i'm stressed... sleep deprived...
i've actually come around to thinking that a bit of that... helps make life worth living.. i do also get a sense that too much of it... might not be the best thing, though. something... a bit psychotic or something about it, yeah.
is it... pleasant enough? or do you find it disturbing?
