My fourth-grade year was extremely challenging for me emotionally and was the major start of the bullying that I endured throughout the rest of my time in school as a child. They often say that people under extreme amounts of mental duress will often experience Deja Vu. However, my level of Deja Vu surpassed the normal levels. First it started with a feeling of something had already happened, such as when standing in line coming in from recess someone would say something specific, and I would think “I’ve heard this before.” It later moved more into a feeling of what I called “dreaming that I dreamed, that I dreamed” something. It culminated in me eventually getting to a point where I could tell someone what was going to happen in about the next 30 seconds.
While it was not much, the Deja Vu had turned into my dreams becoming premonitions that were recalled shortly before things happened. I was able to predict trivial things like unscheduled announcements that came over the PA system, or that someone was going to roll a pencil off their desk, or other things that really did not matter, but it was something that stayed all school year. When it came to the end of the school year and summer break started, my new abilities waned over the next couple of weeks and finally mostly disappeared.
Other than possibly forming from the stress I experienced during fourth grade, I have never been able to explain what caused my temporary premonition ability that seems to have ended with my advancement into middle school.
