      Extreme Deja Vu in dreams.

      I've had a few dreams in the past where, while in the dream, I wasn't lucid. However, I "knew" I had the same dream sometime in the past and worked to change the plot so something bad wouldn't happen "again". But actually, I didn't have the same dream before, I just thought so in the dream. It's difficult to explain.

      Has anyone else had deja vu like this? I mean, in the dream you're not lucid but you know you had the same dream before.

      I'm bringing this up because I had another one last night.
      We all live in a kind of continuous dream. When we wake, it is because something,
      some event, some pinprick even, disturbs the edges of what we have taken as reality.

      I can relate to this.

      Sometimes I'm trying to alter some inevitable outcome, and other times I'm just looking for something recall being in that area.

      With me it's usually the latter [places I've "been" before], but I've had the kind I think you're referring to.

      The last time that happened, I think I was trying to avoid/prevent some sort of bombing at a shopping mall.

      I've certainly had feelings in dreams that were somewhat like this... I knew that I had been in that situation/place, or something would remind me of something that I couldn't put my finger on. It's a very chilling feeling.

      Oooh! I often get that feeling. Although, I think the reason that I feel that I've had some of my dreams before is because I have. I sometimes become lucid because I remember an event in a dream or recognize a location that I've been to before in a dream.

      Here's an entry where I had deja vu and realized I was dreaming. ^_^ The Chase (Dream of September 4th, 2010) - Dream Journals - Dreamviews Lucid Dreaming Community & Resource

      I've had alot of dreams like this, what i think it is.. is that we HAVE, actually had these dreams before, just we dont remember them. If you've done research on dream recall then you'll know that we have a number of dreams per night. we dont remember them all unless we have good dream recall. So i've come to believe that these deja vu dreams are actually dreams we've already had, but when we're in the dream we see that it's very familiar.

      The dream you have isn't actual deja vu. The dream is actually a message where the deja vu is a symbol that is telling you that you've experienced something similar in waking like. In the dream when you try to change what happens it's again a message that you've decided to think or act differently under the same conditions.

      Any dream that you've experienced in a previous dream, but decide to do something different is a good sign that you're maturing or progressing mentally and emotionally.

      Now, if you actually have real deja vu then you are experiencing a heightened sense of intuition.

      I definitely haven't done anything similar in real life. But I appreciate the insight all the same, very interesting!

      You don't understand. I don't mean you've done something similar to the dream in real life. I mean the entire dream and everything in it are all symbols for something that has been re-experienced in waking life. The events of the dream have no literal value. You have to figure out what is being re-experienced in your waking life on your own.
