    Not sure if it’s deja vu, but sometimes I’ve get some dreams where I think I’ve dreamt it before. Before I can confidently say that I’ve actually dreamt it before, but now I’m not sure.

    So whenever this happens now and I’m aware of it, I’m in this weird state where I don’t know what to feel.

      When I get deja vu, it feels to me like I’ve dreamt of whatever is happening before, I’ve always pretty easily been able to say “oh it’s just deja vu” and move on.

      But once, I woke up and told my wife about a strange dream involving very specific details of a situation with me and my brother. Along the lines of my brother throwing a beer can, it bounced off the trash can, bounced off me, then back into the trash can.

      A few days later, my brother did exactly that. I was dumbstruck, even my wife was like “what the hell”

      Yeah this happens to me often. Like for example, I had a dream that I had a bird. Next day I found an injured sparrow in my back yard.

      I remember when I was like 5 and I would have these moments of deja vu. They happened often enough I actively tried to change one. So as I began experiencing a moment of deja vu, I tried to do something that wasn’t part of the previous dream. But as I tried to change it, the memory also changed.
      Not sure how to explain it, but my memory of that event as it unfolded changed to represent me trying to change the event

      Sounds similar to deja reve which is when you feel like you’ve previously dreamt what is currently happening
