Thread: Weird "dejavu story" kind of dreams. Any one gets this?

I've never had that particular kind of dreaming, but I have had recurring dreams a few times. I'm wondering if the dream themes themselves are recurring, even if the plot is always different, thereby triggering the deja-vu effect. I'm not one of those people that believes all cases of deja-vu are simply coincidence, so I would look at all of the elements of your dream, if you can remember them well enough, and try to figure out what part is so familiar to you. Perhaps the same dream characters? Themes, as I mentioned before?

Yes, I get this quite often.

I've gotten quite a few of them, myself, lol. Most of them seemed to be about old pokemon drawings that I KNOW I never did irl!
o.O; XD (i used to draw pokemon a lot btw lol)

Thank you for all your answers.
I find very interesting that we all have different but at the time somewhat similar deamscapes.

I wonder whether to some extent the déjàvu story is the mind's way of rationalizing why you expect stuff to happen in a dream, and then it does. We know from lucid dreams that expectations drive the plot, well that happens in nonlucid dreams as well: you expect the bad guy to kill the girl, and lo and behold, he does! So maybe that's when you ask yourself: how did I know that was going to happen?! Hence déjàvu story dream?

My experience is somewhat similar but not quite the same - rather than knowing what will happen at the beginning of the dream, I feel as though I've dreamed it before (while still dreaming/asleep) even though I can't quite think of - how do I put it - I feel I dreamed it before, but, I don't have a memory of knowing I dreamed that. If that makes any sense. I'm used to dejavu feelings when I'm awake, but to feel them while asleep is strange to me.
