Goodreads asked Ben Wright-Heuman:

What mystery in your own life could be a plot for a book?

Ben Wright-Heuman This is going to sound weird, but bear with me.

Every once in a while, I go through these periods of deja vu that usually last a few weeks. I'll randomly remember flashes from dreams I had, often years earlier, that perfectly match moments in the present. I've remembered dreaming about playing video games that didn't exist yet, and meeting people I hadn't met yet. It's always small and inconsequential stuff, and it doesn't seem to mean anything.

I am typically skeptical by nature, and the most logical explanation is that these feelings of deja vu are just figments of my imagination. I usually forget about the dreams up until these periods start up again, which I recognize is extremely convenient. Whether or not these are real, however, I think a story about a precognitive ability along these lines could be pretty interesting.
