Off-Topic Fridays: Have You Ever Had a Déjà Rêvé Experience?

Inspired by @CobaltNinja, this week’s question is a little more unusual:

Have you ever had a Déjà Rêvé experience?

Déjà rêvé is a French term meaning “already dreamed,” describing the feeling that a current experience is something one has already dreamed about

A lot of my deja reve experiences have been relatively mundane, just a few seconds of doing something random, with it happening that exact same way in real life. I remember an experience of putting away some things in my backpack in middle school, and the whole reason this post got made was cause I dreamt about reading back my own post in that christmas movie thread.

Is there really a collective unconscious? Is time truly linear? Are we subconsciously precognitive? Will Minority Report ever be a reality? I dunno!! I’m not qualified to answer!!!

Most of my dreams usually reflect my current thoughts…

but a few weeks ago I was observing a neighbor family who seem to be separating. That night I dreamed the husband came over and asked me to take his dog… a few days later my mother got a call from her distant brother asking if she would take his dog if he passed away… not1:1 but as close as i can recall.

Sleeping and Dreaming more typically run through problem solving issues. The worst is dreaming about doing work -.- or during basic training repeating the phrases required and waking up in bed laying down at “attention”

I suppose its only fitting as Air Force is often the joke as Chair Force may as well be at attention lying down =p

I have them often, but I usually forget the details pretty quickly…

Used to get it a lot more, and have had 2-3 experiences of this where I foresaw something in the future, which actually happened. It had the same feeling as deja vu.

Things I saw coming was usually negative things, like predicting a social problem.

Should say I’m autistic as a mf, and get really strong pattern recognition, so it probably comes down to that.

I think that might be part of it; pattern recognition, autistic, problem solving, excessive thinking, good memory and maybe a bit of paranoia keeps the brain working out worst case scenarios that sometimes pan out.

..I have pretty good memory and can recall random facts and some dreams very well…I’d be curious if those with photographic memory recalls even more dreams though.

I have mild OCD

After picking up groceries and parking in driveway. In the following hour I would walk out to check the car is locked and alarmed enabled. Up to 6-7 times. Been like that for years.
