Is déjà vu a premonition?
Work from Cleary and others has shown that déjà vu is likely a memory phenomenon. It can occur when someone encounters a scenario that is similar to an actual memory, but they fail to recall the memory. About half the respondents felt a strong premonition during déjà vu.

Are you in REM sleep when you are dreaming?
Most of your dreaming occurs during REM sleep, although some can also occur in non-REM sleep. Your arm and leg muscles become temporarily paralyzed, which prevents you from acting out your dreams. As you age, you sleep less of your time in REM sleep. Memory consolidation most likely requires both non-REM and REM sleep.
