I have memories of being alive infinity times before, I wonder if my brain is playing tricks on me, it feels so real.

Perhaps they're memories from dreams you've experienced or things you seen on TV when you were little & don't fully remember.

Always? Or just for a minute sometimes?

I have temporal lobe epilepsy, and I wonder if what you're trying to describe is the disorienting intense deja-vu-like aspect of those seizures. Sometimes it would feel to me like I'm suddenly realizing I remember a dream I've had more times than makes sense for one lifetime. The way it seems to me, it's a misfiring or scrambling of the sense of familiarity, and it can transform random silly thoughts into strange memory for just a minute or few.

It happens often. I don't know about seizures, I should talk to my psychiatrist and psychologist about it.
