I had deja vu a lot as a teenager — 1-2 times every few weeks sounds about right — and I don’t, as far as I know, have epilepsy (and I would rather assume my epileptologist boyfriend would have noticed if I did). It’s faded as I’ve gotten older, though, and now I only notice it when I’m really tired, though it still does seem to last longer than just a few seconds.
Which doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t see a neurologist, just that it may not be as scary as all that.
And my mother was pretty convinced she had prophetic dreams, and much of me believes in what she said. Some of her stories still freak me out.
Though much of my scientific rational side wants to dismiss all this, the rest of me tends to think that if you’re dreaming things that happen in your own life, in ways that make it seem like you’re actually living your dreams, you’re doing pretty well with your life. If the rest of your predictions are similarly achieved, and similarly calm (my mother used to dream of planes exploding), then it may just be a sign that your life is actually matching your unconscious aspirations.
