D\u00e9j\u00e0\u00a0r\u00eav\u00e9 is when you have the sense that you have dreamed something before, when it is happening in real life, even though you don\u2019t recall a specific instance of being somewhere, doing something, or talking to a specific person.<\/p>\n<p>This is slightly different than a precognitive dream. In a precognitive dream, you simply dream of something that indicates an instance of interaction or experience in the future, and then you later experience that very same \u201ccognitive\u201d act in real life \u2013 so the dream told you what would happen before it did.<\/p>\n<p>Examples of this abound in human history. As Ian Wilson explains in a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youaredreaming.org\/assets\/pdf\/deja_reve.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">paper<\/a> on D\u00e9j\u00e0\u00a0r\u00eav\u00e9,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201c<\/em><em>President Abraham Lincoln, weeks before his assassination, dreamt of his death. Author Mark Twain had a dream involving the death of his brother Henry weeks before Henry would die in a riverboat accident, with remarkable and uncanny detail in regard to the funeral that followed. British painter David Mandell dreamt three times of planes crashing into the twin towers. In 1996 he painted a picture of such a<\/em> <em>dream and had it time-stamped in a photograph using his bank\u2019s clock<\/em>. . .&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Some studies indicate that d\u00e9j\u00e0 r\u00eav\u00e9 is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inverse.com\/article\/41840-dj-vu-science-metamemory-phenomena\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">not a psychic experience<\/a>, but a trick of the mind. In a recently released <a href=\"http:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/0956797617743018\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">paper<\/a> titled <em>D\u00e9j\u00e0 vu: An Illusion of Prediction<\/em>, cognitive psychologists from Colorado State University explain that d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu is simply a memory phenomenon \u2014 one that can be recreated in a lab. The abstract explains,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201c<\/em><em>Despite recent scientific advances, a remaining puzzle is the purported association between d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu and feelings of premonition. Building on research showing that d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu can be driven by an unrecalled memory of a past experience that relates to the current situation, we sought evidence of memory-based predictive ability during d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu states. D\u00e9j\u00e0 vu did not lead to above-chance ability to predict the next turn in a navigational path resembling a previously experienced but unrecalled path (although such resemblance increased reports of d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu). However, d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu states were accompanied by increased feelings of knowing the direction of the next turn. The results suggest that feelings of premonition during d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu occur and can be illusory. Metacognitive bias brought on by the state itself may explain the peculiar association between d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu and the feeling of premonition.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>However, other studies have a different take on experiences like d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu and d\u00e9j\u00e0 r\u00eav\u00e9.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. David Ryback also conducted a survey in his publication &#8220;Dreams That Came True&#8221; with an 8.8% frequency with regards to precognitive dreams. Ryback has also suggested that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.godlikeproductions.com\/forum1\/message1403092\/pg1?disclaimer=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">we can alter reality<\/a> by having <a href=\"http:\/\/youaredreaming.org\/assets\/pdf\/YouAreDreaming_04252013.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">lucid<\/a> precognitive dreams. He even puts forth that physical reality is a dream-training simulator.<\/p>\n<p>Even philosopher Aristotle skeptically debated precognitive dreams in his paper written in 350 BCE called, <em>&#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/classics.mit....rophesying.html\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">On Prophesying by Dreams<\/a>.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>What is startlingly strange with d\u00e9j\u00e0 r\u00eav\u00e9 though is that they seem to have a direct and relative relationship with physical reality.

If <a href=\"https:\/\/www.popsci.com\/science\/article\/2012-09\/book-excerpt-there-no-such-thing-time\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">time isn\u2019t real<\/a>, and<em> \u201creality\u201d<\/em> can be altered with our dreamtime, then who is to say that we haven\u2019t all experienced <em>everything<\/em> before, and therefore have dreams of being somewhere before or having the very same conversation with a friend?<\/p>\n<p>Ancient tribes from Australia to North and South America, and all across the globe are familiar with <em>&#8220;Dream Time.&#8221;<\/em> They knew that the world is not the <em>&#8220;thing,&#8221;<\/em> and therefore we can change it with our consciousness.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The True Name of the Higher Being, Aboriginal Shaman Wisdom Pt. 3\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ING-4Dvh2nM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>An acknowledgement of something <em>beyond<\/em> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.einstein-online.info\/dictionary\/cosmic-time.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cosmic time<\/a>, and the acceptance of Infinite Consciousness change everything.
