I used to experience this when I was young (12 - 15) it left after that, although I had the odd case of it every now and then. Nowadays I'm 26 and its becoming more common in work and life in general, quite bizarre to say the least.

After doing some research on time and space and physiology/psychology it seems that nobody knows what causes it. From my own questions to close friends some people seem to be susceptible to it and some don't.

Could it be a sign of impending death and the decisions you made in the present have altered the current timeline?

Serious question, considering we don't understand our own universe.

I have dreams regular that pan out anything from a month to several years later, really strange when it happens and you know what's going to happen next, although that part is 50/50 sometimes what I expect to happen next does occur and sometimes it doesn't (maybe the altering part?).
I've been having them since i can remember from being a young kid (36 now) and I'm not dead yet :p
Maybe we're just weird :)
 
Dreams are a figment of imagination and a result of our brain impulse.

I for one have a reoccurring dream of a Nuke attack every now and again. Which I'm sure most people have due to programming.

In day to day life I experience DeJa vu, which makes it quite strange. As I work in a fairly good job and have the events happen.

Deja vu was proven in a study to be one half of the brain catching up with the other half, a millisecond difference in timing means the hippocampus registers the the single event as two for a moment until your brain makes sense of it, this is Deja Vu,

it occurs more often in children when the brain is developing, and in adults when the subject is over tired or under stress.

The Hippocampmus stores shot term memory, not long term which many people of DeJa Vu have. This in turn would make the suggested unphasable.

yes I understand what your saying, 'like you have been here before' etc. the study showed that the eyes/ears or both sent signals to the hippocampus for short term memory storage, but the delay between the two halfs gave the impression that 'this had happened before' before our brains 'realized' the mistake.

hence why Deja Vu, does not last longer than a few seconds, if it was comparing a short term memory to a long term memory, the effect would last forever.

Can also factor in scenarios and situations where you could recreate an almost exact perceived point from memory. What you remember may resemble a current happening so closely, the two could be confused as one.

I get this a lot, but it's to be expected when you live to a fairly regular routine.
 
Whilst not technically dejavu, I can actually see into the future. We'll not exactly, think of it more like a groundhog day scenario. When you experience the same thing over and over and over again, you can kind of prediction the future with pin point accuracy.

Take yesterday for example, driving in to work I knew the traffic lights would all change to red...they did! Then when I got to works car park I knew it would be full, it was.....then when my boss arrived at 9am I knew he was going to annoy me....which he did!
 
there is actually a lot of truth in your comment, our brains actively seek out patterns in our own and others behavior, with some being much better at it than others, hence why top managers/business leaders/politicians/entrepreneurs seem to have a sixth sense for markets and opinions of others.

with full spectrum autism sufferers being the top of the tree so to speak.
 
last night I went to the shop and I never buy scratch cards, I asked her if she wanted one, she was just about to ask me if i would pick her one up.
sat talking about not seeing " x " film in years, 5 minutes later that film comes on tv! hadn't seen it advertised as i don't watch tv.
 
I have patches of it from time to time. It often seems like my brain has kind of sub-consciously predicted future events without me consciously realising it.

On that note - about 8 years ago I had a series of about 10 dreams over a few nights that were different to my normal dreams, these were very focused like 10 second very specific snapshots while my dreams are usually long and rambling and jump about. Most of them have come true though most weren't exactly particularly difficult things to predict but for 3 that I can vividly recall and haven't come true - one of which I was standing in my parent's back garden and massive amounts of ash was coming down as if from a volcano or something - however the back garden looked totally different - between the time of that dream and now it has changed to match what it looked like in my dream and lastly I was walking down the highstreet in town and a huge mushroom cloud appeared over the horizon in a direction which looking it up on google maps is exactly inline with where Southampton/Portsmouth is - again the highstreet looked very different at the time but now looks pretty much exactly like in my dream.

If you have had a recent change and you are getting this more and more often go and see your GP he may want to scan your head
