"In surveys, about two-thirds of adults report having had at least one déjà vu experience, and the odd sensation seems to occur most often in people with lively, frequently stimulated imaginations. People who travel a lot are more likely to report the experiences than homebodies, for instance, and those with college or advanced degrees report having it more often than others, perhaps because they have encountered its sweet strangeness in the literary accounts of Proust and Tolstoy - or are more likely to rent the movie "Groundhog Day." Rates seem to peak in young adulthood and to fall off gradually through retirement age, when, Dr. Brown suggests, many people live daily routines that really are familiar."
They try to make it sound ordinary, but it's scary when it happens to you. I always think of the old gramophone record - that bit from a long while back is only just a groove or two away from now.

Have a look at this: “Déjà Vu in Unilateral Temporal-Lobe Epilepsy is Associated with Selective Familiarity Impairments on Experimental Tasks of Recognition Memory".
Ache of Marriage
The ache of marriage:
thigh and tongue, beloved,
are heavy with it,
it throbs in the teeth
We look for communion
and are turned away, beloved,
each and each
It is leviathan and we
in its belly
looking for joy, some joy
not to be known outside it
two by two in the ark of
the ache of it.
~Denise Levertov

like you don't control your on destiny? I just experienced a seriously strong, frightening déjà vu moment.
One of us may have simply dreamed you up and when whomever it is awakes, you and the rest of us will be gone. Of course, a case of indigestion might prompt a recurrence of some of us in a new dream, being familiar to the dreamer at that time.
