There have been many occasions where I've been somewhere I know for a fact I haven't been before but can vividly "remember" being there, just as a still frame of what I was looking at in that moment.

My theory is that the brain is temporarily using a lossy delivery protocol - you're receiving short-term memory packets out of sequence and its causing you to feel like you're "remembering" the present.

There is no basis for my theory and it's fantastical horseshit.

Yeah I feel like it’s some kind of time delay.
