Mental Glitches III – Presque Vu

Presque vu (French, meaning "almost seen") is the intense feeling of being on the very brink of a powerful epiphany, insight, or revelation, without actually achieving the revelation. It is like forgetting a name, but you’re sure that you will remember it every second because you actually know it.
