Precognitive Dreams, Premonitions and Déjà vu
Written By Psychic Raveene Hart
What is the difference and how can we utilize these phenomenas in our day to day life? First lets take a look at what they all actually mean.
Precognition is described as, “knowledge of a future event or situation, especially through extrasensory means.” A precognitive dream is the extrasensory means where a person gains knowledge of that future event or situation.
Premonition is described as, “a feeling of anticipation of, or anxiety over a future event; presentiment or forewarning.”
Déjà vu is described as, “the illusion of having previously experienced something actually being encountered for the first time.” The literal translation from French means, “already seen.”
Precognitive dreams are dreams where the future is predicted in one or several elements. For example, you may dream of meeting someone, and having a romance with that person, yet the dream does not show beyond that. You get a flash in your dream of being with them, and you get the impression that there are romantic feelings involved, but it is just a quick flash, like a “photo in time,” with nothing beyond that moment explained in the dream. The relationship could be a short-lived romance, or a long term, committed relationship and you can’t tell which one from the dream.
The future predictive portion of the dream may be embedded into another dream, and you don’t recognize it as a precognitive dream until the event happens; (this is what is called déjà vu, but more on that later). For example, the surrounding dream of that “photo in time” is where you are out with friends at a club, and you meet this person that 
you think is great, but upon waking and remembering your dream, you don’t recognize them at all. In reality, you meet them through online dating, and when you meet them, their face is only vaguely familiar.
Premonition occurs when the beginnings of a precognitive dream are happening; the feelings are there, but not the event. Events in the dream may not exactly match reality yet, so you just have a feeling of anticipation. Something is happening, but you don’t know what it is yet. You get the feeling that something is “off” or not normal, but you can’t pinpoint exactly why.
Déjà vu happens when the “photo in time” moment actually occurs. You have met them, had a few dates with them, and now you are out at a club with other friends. The feeling of premonition is not always there, but it is usually occurring as a “gut feeling” on some level. It is at that exact moment when the “photo in time” occurs that you have a déjà vu moment, and you realize you had dreamed of that moment, and you had a precognitive dream. The dream, the feeling of premonition, and the déjà vu moment all line up, like the final piece of a cosmic puzzle. Some people get goosebumps when this happens, others give it little notice, but most recognize it as déjà vu.
The future predictive portion of a precognitive dream is not always embedded into the body of a surrounding dream, as it can sometimes be a full precognitive dream all by itself. These dreams are somewhat likened to watching a movie of your life. Some people have only one kind of dream, some people have both. Some people also have precognitive dreams about the lives of others, or of world events. When the movie style precognitive dreams occur, with experience, the dreamer will recognize it as a precognitive dream. For lack of a better way of putting it, these dreams have a different “flavour” than normal dreams.
In order to gain better understanding of one’s dreams, it is often recommended to wr
ite them down. Writing down our dreams in a dream journal definitely helps in recognizing all of the aspects of precognitive dreams as they happen. The process of writing things down transfers them from the creative side of your brain to the logical side. This transfer process is why journaling works, as it is a validation process within our brain, and it aids in remembering our dreams. It also helps to trigger our memory when the déjà vu moment happens, and we question whether we actually dreamed it, or is it just a figment of our imagination. When we go back and read our dream journal, we remember other little things that occurred, in both the dream and in reality, that tie the two together.
