Déjà vu in a dream: meaning

What dream books say

Déjà vu inside a dream is read as a pattern repeating — a sense that you have been here before. Tradition links it to familiar situations returning and to lessons that come back until they are learned. Recognising a place you have never seen is read as an old feeling attached to a new setting, while reliving a conversation word for word points to a habit of reacting the same way. Some dream books treat it as a mind sorting memories. It describes recognition, not knowledge of anything to come. It can help to notice which situation in your life keeps feeling strangely familiar.
