Déjà  vu / recollection / premonition

So I'm at a client and I'm checking mail and some feeds. A normal afternoon other than the location. Hours pass. Then, as I'm doing something completely unrelated that moment replays in my mind. And I was struck by how that stream of consciousness reminded me of something else, which has not yet happened. More how my description of checking mail and feeds and what I was reading at the time which is/was/will be a part of the something else which has not yet happened. Can a memory of a memory be a precursor of a memory of something which has not happened yet? Strange? Now if sleep would come, that would really tease my brain...

I have a theory ( I love theories) My dad and I were talking just yesterday about this. First I want to throw in a few things, such as recurring dreams. My dad used to have a recurring dream that he would be behind this house and a dog chased him and bit him. He had the dream for about a year until it happened exactly as in his dream. People have these all the time. What about when something happens and it's as if you are doing it again and you know exactly what is going to happen as it happens. Or as you said a memory before it occurs. What about the book about the Titan that seemed to predict the sinking of the Titanic? People have what we call premonitions. But what if they are actually recollections? So I said to my dad "what if we come back and repeat this life over and over for whatever reason, maybe until we do it right or maybe we choose to do it again and we are remembering what happened last time before it happens" so my dad throws this in "what if this body we are in is used over and over by different individuals" hmmmmm .....I thought "so what if we know the entire history of the world and we can actually pick a point in time to live?" it got weirder and weirder, but our theories always do. But, does anyone else have a better explanation of how someone can remember something that has not happened yet or dream of something before it happens? I mean if it hasn't happened yet it hasn't happened. Right? Maybe we remember it ahead of time so that we can make the choice to not do it again. hmmmmm.........
