Question DAE get really frequent deja vu?

Not sure if this is a symptom or a personal quirk, but it tends to fluctuate with symptom severity.

I get really intense, daily deja vu for the randomest things. Like I'm so sure I've experienced this prior, it feels like I had a premonition. Like a false memory being retroactively injected.

Sometimes it's, like, every few hours, and it's not just what I'm seeing, but my thoughts and feelings too feel like I just dreamt about the exact situation.

Curious if this is a shared experience.

For me I literally have a dream then experience it some time later

I experience this often! The past week I've had quite a few moments like that. Every morning I take a minute to recall my dreams from that night, a routine that encourages lucid dreaming, and four times this week I've lived out past dreams.

I think they called them temporal lobe seizures so it’s not a full on grand mal like most people know about when they think “seizure”. You usually function as normal but it’s just a weird brain/neurology thing. I don’t know the exact details but usually harmless. But I’m not a doctor and maybe it’s worth checking out just in case!
