Jamais Vu
After reading my previous post on the experience of seeing/reading/spelling the word WHEN, I realized the feeling I had was not Deja Vu-ish, it was something else, which has actually been recorded and given a particular name, similar to Deja Vu.
The phrase for a sudden onset feeling of (not familiarity this time) but strangeness. It's called :
jamais vu
It's relays a sense of seeing something for the first time. I think that's what I meant. Didn't know that this phenomenon had been analyzed already. But this world is full of black and white, so why not have the opposing experience of "deja vu" that being, "jamais vu" exist?
