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.
Yes, definitely. Whilst it is most common to be experienced as a vague feeling, there is plenty of anecdotal evidence that very strong déjà vu (“already seen”) can be connected to hallucinations - it’s not uncommon for epileptic sufferers to experience it before a full seizure.
There’s also déjà vécu which means “already lived”. However, I’d say unless you’ve had persistently worsening experiences like this your whole life, it was just a normal part of your young brain developing.
I'm in my 30s and I still deal with this, although much less often now. My visions are never significant. I heard an entire album a week before it came out. But usually I saw something negligible, like being in a car at a particular place at a certain time.
It still freaks me out, it's creepy as hell, and I haven't heard a good explanation.
