I do, on a pretty regular basis. But last night I had experienced what might be even weirder.

My friend picks me up late in the evening, to take me out with some friends for my birthday. We get stopped at a stoplight, it's snowing a bit, and she asks me which way she should go to get to the restaurant the fastest. I tell her, then say "whoa, I just had major Deja Vu."

Then I realize it wasn't Deja Vu, because the exact same thing happened the year before. The same friend picked me up, it was snowing, and we were going in the same direction because last year we celebrated my Birthday at a place nearby the place we were at last night, so she had asked me the same thing. I'm not sure how I remembered it. It was very weird.

A few times a year i will have a really strong case of deja vu will i feel i have seen something including the specific location of people in the situation.

Once when i was a little kid i saw a building in a dream It ended up being the entrance to the Houston NASA entrance i ended up going to a few weeks later.

Fortunately...not in recent years.

Used to happen fairly frequently and it spooked the hell out of me.
(never happened for/with pleasant events, always with bad things.)

Pretty rare for me.

Maybe once every other year and also for the dumbest things.

That reminds me of a weird dream I had. I dreamed I was in the WTC and it was my job to tell everyone to get out because something very bad was about to happen. The elevator only went 20 floors at once then I had to get into the next elevator, making it hard for me to get to the higher floors fast. Ended up only doing a few floors then I started to get out as the planes were hitting.

I've never been in the WTC or seen the inside, but when I googled after the dream, the inside of the building looked very similar to in the dream. Kinda creepy.

I still recall the golden railings and the very high ceilings with fancy square lights.

Also, I love the movie "Deja Vu", starring Denzel Washington. Underrated, I think.

The movie was great until all of a sudden they could time travel.

It was a pretty ridiculous addition to the plot. "Somehow my laser pointer causes a crazy rip in the earth's dimensional fabric!"

I had a dream before 9/11 about being on one of the twin towers and it collapsing. I' went on the observation deck before, though, so not that unexpected a dream.

I also have had dreams about the Tappan Zee bridge collapsing. I across on that bridge regularly, though.
