Spatial Experience

It's my own experience and I don't know if this feeling happens to the others as well!

A day as a normal day, I came back to my house from school; then I accidentally recognize that the scence was really strange to me, like i have never been there, my house. But this feeling just lasted for seconds, and the old feeling came back then.

I likes this feeling, so I tried to create it again and again. Trying to have a new spatial feeling of an familiar place; sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

I have thought about this feeling and try to explain it in a verbal way:
When you see a place over and over again, you eyes automatically has a habit of scanning things in a certain way.
For example, coming in your room, you would see you table first, then your windows, then your cabinet, then your bed, etc. --> so, table -> windows -> cabinet -> bed.
But for an un-concious moment, your brain has a chance to look in a random way, so you will look at your windows first, instead of your table --> your brain will lost its habit --> the brain will look things in a new way, till it realize the place is the familiar one to you --> the brain will come back to its habit again!

I would say the moment your brain freely to look things in a new way is really short and rarely, so try to remember this feeling, and force your brain to look at this new way again; if sucess, you would experience the new spatial feeling of the familiar place!!!

What do you think?
