Have you ever been somewhere and thought to yourself…"I've been here before." or, "I feel like this is where I should be." Most of us are inclined to dismiss these intuitive flashes as nothing more than "Deja Vu" or a glitch in the matrix, but did you know that there is a theory in quantum physics that says all possibilities of an action that can happen, do happen and the result is an infinite number of separate parallel dimensions or "quantum realities." And when we feel an overwhelming sense of having been somewhere before, or perhaps an inexplicable feeling of loss or joy, it is because at those moments you are existing on a plane where the barriers between alternate realities is thinner than normal and the human brain, (which is still largely a mystery,) is able to sense elements from nearby quantum realities, even if only for a flash.
