Muddy Asks:
Hi Lucid Ok so here goes my question… I, like a previous writer, sometimes dream about things days or even months before they happen. I believe these dreams to be a warning sign but I always think to myself DE JA VU…What gives??? Am I suppose to know and not do what I see happening in the dream or is deja vu something only seen in the movies (think final destination but not so dramatic)?

Lucid’s Thoughts:
Hi Muddy, I am not sure if I fully understand your question, but I am going to take a shot at it anyways. You are telling me that you have dreams that come true, so they would be precognitive; correct?  I think you may be confusing them with déjà vu.

Déjà vu is the moment in time; present, remembering the pre-existence past, and experiencing the future all at once, for only a few very short seconds. And, this tells us we are where we’re suppose to be, at that exact moment, in that exact place; good, bad or indifferent and that things are going according to plan.

That being said, if you are experiencing something that you dreamt, then I would say you were in the middle of your premonition. Whether you act it out accordingly, or let things roll out is up to you. Some situations may not be avoidable.

I believe the difference between the two are:

With déjà vu there are specifically marked time periods that will not and can not be changed; they are like check points.

Precognitive dreams can be warnings, and the possibility of changing the outcome is there.

Both déjà vu and ESP (Extra Sensory Perception) dreams are real and not just in the movies. I hope this was helpful. Thanks for writing in!
