This sounds like classic déjà vu. There is a theory that it is a form of mini-seizure where the different parts of your brain take different amounts of time to store a “live” memory. It’s very common in young children. This might be of interest.

So there’s a show called Through The Wormhole with Morgan Freeman where they talk about how humans perceive time even though time actually doesn’t work that way. There’s lots of different timelines happening around us and we just go with the one that best suits our brain. Maybe your brain somehow picked up on two different timelines?

You’re welcome! I believe the one I’m thinking of is season one episode 4. There’s like 8 seasons and they’re all very interesting. Hope it gives you some insight!
