Forback Moment
A Forback Moment is a sort of variant of déjà vu. In this moment you move forward in time and experience something (often something outrageous you would not normally do) only to the snap back into the present and realise you have not done this thing at all. This may be described as a type of Prolepsis, and is commonplace in cinema in films such as 'Soft Top Hard Shoulder' (vacuuming scene), 'True Lies' (Arnie with the car sales rep and imagining himself assualting the rep) and in 'Run Lola Run' (as the central repeating part/theme of the film). The phenomena has been referred to on television at least once as a flashforward - possibly on the American show Friends.
