• Jamais vu: explicitly not remembering having seen something before. The person knows it has happened before, but the experience feels unfamiliar.
• Presque vu: almost, but not quite, remembering something. This is the 'on the tip of my tongue' feeling.
• Déjà visité: uncanny knowledge of a new place. Here one may know his or her way around in a new town or landscape while at the same time knowing that this should not be possible. In addition to dreams, reincarnation and also out-of-the-body travel have been evoked to explain this phenomenon.
• Déjà senti: feeling something again. Unlike déjà vu and déjà vécu, which imply precognition, this refers specifically to a mental feeling. Some temporal-lobe epileptics may experience this.
• Déjà eprouvé: "already attempted or tried".
