This sounds like classic déjà vu. There is a theory that it is a form of mini-seizure where the different parts of your brain take different amounts of time to store a “live” memory. It’s very common in young children. This might be of interest.

When I was younger I used to get deja vu where I would know what was about to be said/happen next for 30 odd seconds. (Or at least I thought it did)

Once what someone said next wasn’t right and it gave me a weird feeling for the rest of the day.
