Most likely from the OP's sentence "...,I do get weird things that I only know was a look into the future after they actually happen and I go hey I knew this was going to happen."
I looked up
déjà vu myself after reading that.
Quote:is the phenomenon of feeling like one has lived through the present situation in the past. It is an illusion of memory whereby—despite a strong sense of recollection—the time, place, and context of the "previous" experience are uncertain or impossible. Approximately two-thirds of surveyed populations report experiencing déjà vu at least one time in their lives.
I do have a strange story about deja vu, in that even though I totally recall the time, place and context of the previous experience, it still wasn't possible.
I was having an online forum chat with a guy about 12 years ago, and he asked me "what do you think about this poem?" and he posted it in the forum.
So I told him my interpretation, and then he agreed that that was pretty close. But "river's edge" didn't mean bank or shore, it meant a waterfall.
After that, I slept and dreamed a dream about a journey to that waterfall.
Three years later I was chatting with the same guy on the same forum and he asked "what do you think about this poem?" and he posted it in the forum.
So I replied "the same as last time you asked me", then I told him my interpretation. Then he said that he had never posted the poem in the forum before, and "river's edge" didn't mean bank or shore, it meant a waterfall.
He linked to his song that was based on the poem. It was dated 3 years earlier, right at the time of the previous conversation and my dream.
Now, as written, it would seem to be a re-enacting, but it was still not possible. I was very sick at the first incident; bedridden and delirious. No way that I was actually up and typing on my laptop computer. So the whole first conversation was in my delirious imagination and the dream was a deeper delirium dream.
The subsequent conversation was quite real, with dated documentary proof. So either this was all normal deja vu, or delirium is the key to future experience.
